  摘要：A stream of recent research considers the practice of random price discounts (a.k.a randomized pricing) when selling to forward-looking customers and shows that such pricing strategies can mitigate strategic customer waiting and boost seller profit. In practice, random price discounts are often offered together with price guarantees, in which customers are refunded the price difference if the price is lowered within a given time window after purchase. This paper investigates the efficacy of pr...

  摘要：The digital divide is an area of significant concern as society increases its reliance on the internet for everyday tasks. Retail operations are no exception to this trend where the use of the online sales channel has become ubiquitous. As retailers seek to provide a high-quality customer experience across socioeconomic groups to maximize sales potential, they must find ways to bridge the digital divide and ensure consumer access to their products. Embracing resources and appropriation theory ...
• No Country for Young Refugees: Barriers and Opportunities for Inclusive Refugee Education Practices AI翻译

  摘要：The recent refugee crises in Ukraine (2022) and Syria (2011) have created millions of refugees, 40% of whom are children. The education systems of countries hosting refugees struggle to integrate such large populations. In addition, language barriers and the stigma associated with refugees hamper inclusive and equitable education opportunities for these children. There is thus a risk of lost generations distanced from education, who may eventually depend on social security systems and monetary...
• Revisiting Equity in Urban Operations Management 50 Years Later: What do City Planners Have to Say? AI翻译
  作者：Brennan, Mark
  作者单位：Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
  摘要：The persistent inequities in American cities-long recognized and lived by black and Hispanic people and other minorities, the poor and working class, and others disadvantaged by urban systems-have been vaulted into the broader public consciousness over the past decade. Lessening entrenched urban inequalities is now at the top of the national policy agenda, suggesting a need and opportunity for more urban operations management. On what issues and how might this work occur? Operations management...

  摘要：In the last decade and recently, a wide range of industries and organizations have been subject to IT-related security threats and cybersecurity breaches of varying degrees of severity at an alarming rate. A common practice adopted by organizations to ensure system and network security is to conduct regular audits and assessments. This paper takes on an organizational strategy perspective to analytically model the cost impact of random breaches in various types of networks subject to different...
• Why and How Seru Production Systems Are Responsive and Efficient in Volatile Markets AI翻译

  摘要：Seru production systems have demonstrated excellent rapid response capabilities in both stable and uncertain environments. This study reveals that when compared to the Toyota Production System, the seru production method improves rapid response capabilities by 20% and 50% in stable and uncertain environments, respectively. The underlying reasons for this improvement were unclear, so this became a focus of this paper. Static and dynamic Just-In-Time Organization Systems are used to investigate ...
• Deep Reinforcement Learning for Online Assortment Customization: A Data-Driven Approach AI翻译

  摘要：When a platform has limited inventory, it is important to have a variety of products available for each customer while managing the remaining stock. To maximize revenue over the long term, the assortment policy needs to take into account the complex purchasing behavior of customers whose arrival orders and preferences may be unknown. We propose a data-driven approach for dynamic assortment planning that utilizes historical customer arrivals and transaction data. To address the challenge of onl...
• Intra-Category Multi-Choice Preferences Learning and Assortment Recommendation in E-Commerce AI翻译

  摘要：This paper proposes a framework for learning customer preferences and optimizing e-commerce assortments, focusing on intra-category multi-choice behavior, where customers buy multiple items within the same category. Unlike traditional discrete choice models (DCMs) that assume single-product purchases, e-commerce data show frequent intra-category multiproduct purchases, especially during promotions. To capture this, we introduce the multi-choice rank list model (MC-RLM), which accounts for both...
• Fleet Repositioning for Vehicle Sharing Systems: Asymptotic Optimality of the Balanced Myopic Policy AI翻译

  摘要：We investigate the fleet repositioning problem aimed at dynamically optimizing vehicle distributions to maximize long-run average social welfare in a vehicle-sharing system. We model the problem as a Markov decision process under the ex ante committed decision scheme, characterizing the balanced myopic policy as optimal for the average reward setting. This policy efficiently aligns vehicle supply with trip demand and mitigates the curse of dimensionality, enhancing computational efficiency sig...
