摘要:This study examines the use of scenario planning-a strategic planning tool used for making decisions of long-term nature-to adapt a buyer-supplier dyad for disruptions in their supply chain resulting from abrupt changes in regulations. We posit that dyadic scenarios, that is, those created jointly by a buyer and a supplier, alter the scope of supply chain design in relation to a regulatory disruption. We offer four hypotheses distinguishing dyadic scenario creation from the traditional single-...

摘要:In this study, we examine whether productivity shifts when accounting standards change. Using mandatory International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as a shock to the accounting regime, we examine the changes in country-level productivity. We find that mandatory IFRS-adopting countries experience significant increases in total factor productivity (TFP) and labor productivity. The post-adoption productivity improvements are greater for countries without IFRS convergence. Further, TFP incr...

摘要:The quality of many online services (such as online games, video streaming, cloud services) depends not only on the service capacity but also on the number of users using the service simultaneously. For a new online service, the potential users are often uncertain about both the capacity and congestion level of the service, and hence are uncertain about the quality of service (QoS). In this study, we consider users' participation-dependent social learning (PDSL), that is, learning of the QoS t...

摘要:Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that affects millions of Americans and puts a significant burden on the healthcare system. The medical community sees screening patients to identify and treat prediabetes and diabetes early as an important goal; however, universal population screening is operationally not feasible, and screening policies need to take characteristics of the patient population into account. For instance, the screening policy for a population in an affluent neighborhood may di...

摘要:Data sharing between upstream and downstream entities is vital for the success of a supply chain. However, distrust, privacy concerns, data misuse, and the asymmetric valuation of shared data between entities often hinder data sharing. This problem calls for a secure, efficient, fair, and trustworthy data-sharing mechanism. The key to such a successful system hinges on how to trace the data usage, determine the value of the seller's data to the buyer and then compensate the seller accordingly....

摘要:This paper empirically investigates using the e-mail channel to target customers with a delayed incentive promotion-specifically, gift card promotion-and derives data-driven e-mail targeting policies. Gift card promotions are popular across retailers because they incentivize customers to spend more than a fixed expenditure level on regularly priced products by rewarding customers with a gift card to be redeemed against a future purchase. The e-mail channel provides retailers with new sources o...

摘要:We investigate the real effects of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting regulation enacted in China in 2008 covering both state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and non-state-owned enterprises (NSOEs). As the CSR reporting requirement applies only to select firms, the regulation presents a unique setting that provides us with a suitable control sample of firms not subject to the regulation. Using a difference-in-differences approach, we document that relative to firms that are not affected ...

摘要:A company must develop the AAA capabilities of agility, adaptability, and alignment in its supply chain to compete in a dynamic global environment profitably. However, as businesses face new challenges with increased environmental and social sustainability expectations, they must expand these AAA supply chain capabilities to people, planet, and profits. This study provides a framework for extending a company's capabilities for profitable supply chain management to those needed to achieve tripl...

摘要:The capacity to rank expert workers by their decision quality is a key managerial task of substantial significance to business operations. However, when no ground truth information is available on experts' decisions, the evaluation of expert workers typically requires enlisting peer-experts, and this form of evaluation is prohibitively costly in many important settings. In this work, we develop a data-driven approach for producing effective rankings based on the decision quality of expert work...
