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...

摘要：Refurbishing of used products is increasingly being recognized as a value recovery strategy in sustainable operations. Hence, manufacturers, retailers, as well as third-party firms, engage in refurbishing. Manufacturers, to some extent, can deter other players from refurbishing through various means such as product design, intellectual property, and restricting access to spare parts and diagnostic tools. While previous research has extensively examined the question of whether a manufacturer sh...

摘要：There are 26 million refugees worldwide seeking safety from persecution, violence, conflict, and human rights violations. Camp-based refugees are those that seek shelter in refugee camps, whereas urban refugees inhabit nearby, surrounding populations. The systems that supply aid to refugee camps may suffer from ineffective distribution due to challenges in administration, demand uncertainty and volatility in funding. Aid allocation should be carried out in a manner that properly balances the n...

摘要：Non-profit organizations (NPOs) play a critical role in advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals, directing resources from donors to aid recipients. To achieve this, they often rely on donations of physical goods, which can not only further the mission of the NPO, but also give new life to used goods destined for the landfill. However, not all donations are wanted or needed-the NPO may be space constrained or the donation may be of poor quality. Accepting unwanted donations imposes non-t...

摘要：Hotel franchising presents a unique network context for investigating inter-organizational collaboration. Franchisees and franchisors must collaborate closely but face incompatible incentives in allocating financial and human resources to invest in three types of operations: centralized, network-level operations run by the franchisor; distributed, outlet-level operations managed by franchisees; and coordinated operations, which use franchisee and franchisor inputs. This study employs a mixed-m...

摘要：Personality quiz is a powerful tool that enables costumer segmentation by actively asking them questions, and marketers are using it as an effective method of generating leads and increasing e-commerce sales. We study the problem of how to select and sequence a group of quiz questions so as to optimize the quality of customer segmentation. We assume that the customer will sequentially scan the list of questions. After reading a question, the customer makes two, possibly correlated, random deci...

摘要：For experience goods (products or services), given the uncertainty about their actual quality and the growing popularity of social media, potential customers nowadays depend on experiences of peers who have used the goods previously to learn about their quality. In this paper, we study how such customer learning affects a firm's (credible) quality disclosure strategy as well as other relevant decisions. To model such learning, we adopt the anecdotal reasoning framework, which we show to be rat...

摘要：Global firms often attempt to utilize modular product architectures to ease the distribution of project work among subsidiaries. However, empirical findings on the effectiveness of this approach are mixed. Seeking to clarify this matter, we investigate the conditions under which modular product platform use is associated with cross-subsidiary distribution of project work. Through an in-depth case study of a global corporation, we find that a firm's ability to leverage modular product platforms...
