• The Dual Impact of Product Line Length on Consumer Choice AI翻译

  摘要：Although extant literature has argued for both positive and negative effects of product line length on choice, i.e. a dual impact, such a possibility has not been empirically investigated. This is the first study to address this issue, using a multiple discrete choice model for horizontally differentiated goods. The authors argue that the dual impact of product line length is due to competing effects of the two constituent dimensions of product line structure: a positive effect of product line...

  摘要：Spill and pollution (SP) accidents cause significant damage to the natural environment. They also result in financial costs and reputational losses for the offending firm. As such, understanding how firms respond to such crises is of significant interest to firm stakeholders, such as investors, customers, regulators, NGOs, employees, and local communities. In this study, we examine whether publicly disclosed SP accidents cause firms to alter their approach to environmental management, as expre...

  摘要：Counterfeiting is a severe problem in many sectors. There are two types of counterfeits: non-deceptive and deceptive. While both types are important business challenge, deceptive counterfeit has an additional negative impact-customers have a post-purchase regret if they expect to purchase a real product but ended up with a fake. The focus of this study is on the setting that relates to deceptive counterfeits. Our paper is one of the first that examines the effectiveness of blockchain as a solu...
• Impact of Penalty Cost on Customers' Booking Decisions AI翻译

  摘要：We study a novel newsvendor-type problem where the information on demand quantity is not exogenously given. The customer needs to make the booking decision based on her estimation on demand, which is affected by the value of shortage penalty cost. The problem is motivated by low-cost airline service practices where passengers need to book baggage allowance for their travel. The baggage overweight price affects the accuracy of passengers' baggage weight estimation and thus their booking quantit...
• Examining the Impacts of Clinical Practice Variation on Operational Performance AI翻译

  摘要：This study explores whether and how lower variations in clinical practice relate to hospital operational performance. This relation is critical to the overall search for pathways that will allow the healthcare industry to bend the cost curve, implying significant implications for practice and regulators. We define practice variation as all variation not resulting from patient mix and construct a novel measure using inpatient discharge data for each patient cohort having an identical medical co...
• Collaboration in Development of New Drugs AI翻译

  摘要：The development of a new drug is costly and uncertain. As such, pharmaceutical firms often collaborate to develop new drugs. We examine the conditions under which firms should collaborate rather than compete in new drug development. We model the collaboration vs. competition decision problem for two firms using a game-theoretic model and derive the collaboration conditions. Our study demonstrates that development cost and uncertainties in drug treatment efficacy and safety and patient enrollme...
• An Empirical Study of the Dynamic and Differential Effects of Prefunding AI翻译

  摘要：This study investigates the dynamic and differential effects of prefunding on reward-based crowdfunding markets plagued by information asymmetry. Prefunding, an innovative feature in crowdfunding, enables founders to share project information with potential backers before fundraising begins. By collecting and analyzing daily project-level panel data from one of the world's largest crowdfunding platforms, we found that projects with the prefunding feature were more likely to succeed in reaching...
• Network Size and Content Generation on Social Media Platforms AI翻译

  摘要：Social media has been increasingly integrated into firm operations. Past literature documented the operational value of the content generated by social media users but paid little attention to the users' incentives to generate and share content. We fill in the gap by linking a user's social network to her content contribution. Specifically, we distinguish the role of the followee network (the group of people being followed by the user) from the role of the follower network. When a user follows...
• Evaluating Disaster Operations Management: An Outcome-Process Integrated Approach AI翻译
  作者：Paciarotti, Claudia; Valiakhmetova, Inna
  作者单位：Marche Polytechnic University
  摘要：Humanitarian operations play a crucial role in alleviating human and social losses caused by natural disasters. The best way to know responders' preparedness and ability to conduct efficient and effective humanitarian operations is to perform an evaluation. When evaluating humanitarian operations, the focus is mainly on their outcomes while the option of concentrating on the process is only mentioned, without examining in-depth the subject nor providing specific tools for its analysis. This st...
