摘要：This study examines the effect of delivery performance on customer transactions. We propose that different delivery performance dimensions (on-time delivery rate, early delivery inaccuracy, late delivery inaccuracy, and delivery speed) have varying impacts on future customer transaction quantities and unit prices. We further explore the effect of customer types on the proposed relationships. Trade customers (resellers) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers generally have differen...

摘要：A growing number of companies install wind and solar generators in their energy-intensive facilities to attain low-carbonmanufacturing operations. However, there is a lack of methodological studies on operating large manufacturing facilities with intermittent power. This study presents a multi-period, production-inventory planning model in a multi-plant manufacturing system powered with onsite and grid renewable energy. Our goal is to determine the production quantity, the stock level, and the...

摘要：We examine a contingent price markdown (CM) mechanism with guaranteed reservation under which a retailer sells multiple units to forward-looking consumers who arrive over time according to a Poisson process. During the early part of the selling season, each arriving consumer can either purchase a unit by paying the regular price or reserve a unit at the discount price. Reserved units can only be claimed later when the number of guaranteed reservations meets a pre-specified threshold, or at the...

摘要：Health information exchanges (HIEs) are new organizational forms in the United States that facilitate digital exchange of health data across participants. Many believe that these multi-sided digital platforms will become key enablers of the digital transformation of healthcare in the United States. However, like other entrepreneurial ventures, HIEs face challenges to achieve operational maturity and financial viability. Entrepreneurial ventures often fail to attain financial viability due to t...

摘要：The performance of a retail store depends on its ability to attract customer traffic, match labor with incoming traffic, and convert the incoming traffic into sales. Retailers make significant investments in marketing activities (such as advertising) to bring customers into their stores and in-store labor to convert that traffic into sales. Thus, a common trade-off that retail store managers face concerns the allocation of a store's limited budget between advertising and labor to enhance store...

摘要：Notwithstanding the popularity of outsourcing as a business strategy, the performance benefits realized through outsourcing efforts are observed to be mixed in practice. This leads to important unresolved questions regarding why some firms are able to derive substantial value from their outsourcing initiatives while other firms are left disappointed. This study joins an emerging literature integrating transaction cost economics and capabilities-based perspectives to develop a deeper understand...

摘要：We study the use of advance purchase discount (APD) contracts to incentivize a retailer to share demand information with a dual-sourcing wholesaler. We analyze such contracts in terms of two practical considerations that are relevant in this context but have been overlooked by previous work that has largely studied the direct offer of APD to customers: the retailer's information acquisition cost and the wholesaler's limited information about that cost. The wholesaler's limited knowledge of the...

摘要：Research on buyer-supplier relationships (BSRs) has often focused on only one side of the relationship and, thus, has tended to overlook asymmetries. Yet, a buyer (supplier) may often deal with a bigger supplier (buyer) or one that has higher levels of trust, respect, and reciprocity. Therefore, we examined how two types of asymmetriessize and relational capitalaffect perceived opportunism and performance. We used dyadic data from 106 buyers and their matched suppliers gathered from a survey a...

摘要：The nature of operations executives' strategic cognition, as the antecedent to their choices about operations strategy, remains underexplored in the literature. This mixed-methods study examines executives' thinking about supply chain strategy through the lens of managerial cognition. Our qualitative study at a pharmaceutical distributor, which examined 25 executives' outlook on the future of the turbulent U.S. healthcare sector and their suggestions for adapting the company's supply chain str...

摘要：In project portfolio selection, the aim is to choose projects which are expected to offer most value and satisfy relevant risk and other constraints. In this study, we show that uncertainties about how much value the projects will offer, combined with the fact that only a subset of the proposed projects will be selected, lead to inaccurate risk estimates about the aggregate value provided by the selected project portfolio. In particular, when downside risks are measured in terms of lower perce...
