摘要：While government regulation or company policy can be used to curtail discrimination at work, it is hard to regulate away negative experiences like microaggression or perceptions of discrimination against minority employees in hiring and promotion. Using data from interviews with minority ethnic staff at a UK university, I present evidence of microaggression and minority employees feeling excluded and posit that perceptions of discriminatory policy engender negative perceptions of the organizat...

摘要：We consider a two-echelon decentralized supply chain where the probability of selling nondefective products depends on the supplier's quality improvement and the buyer's inspection efforts. Products assembled from defective components cause a recall that leads to external failure costs for the buyer. Both players' efforts are not contractible and it is a challenge to align inspection and quality-improvement efforts in a decentralized supply chain. We find that a procurement contract can provid...

摘要：Utilizing the introduction of the Trade Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE) as an exogenous shock to enhance secondary bond market transparency, we investigate the informational feedback effect of the bond market on supplier innovation in vertical relationships. We find that the increased availability of trading details regarding major customers' outstanding bonds significantly fosters their supplier firms' innovative investment. This positive effect of bond market transparency enhancement...

摘要：This research examines how strategic consumer behavior influences e-tailers' decisions on inventory storage locations, pricing strategies, and inventory levels. The e-tailer opts for either a single central warehouse, which has lower holding but higher shipping costs due to its distance from consumers, or a mix of central and proximal local warehouses, which reduces shipping costs but incurs higher holding costs. We find that local warehousing prompts consumers to delay purchases in hopes of d...

摘要：Despite formal supplier diversity initiatives and lofty goals, corporate spending with diverse suppliers is about 7%. Conversely, the U.S. federal government's spending with these suppliers exceeds 25%. The government's use of set-asides, which limit the bidding on certain contracts to small or small and diverse suppliers, is one reason that might explain this difference. Although set-asides entail socioeconomic benefits for these suppliers, they are controversial. Our study contributes to thi...

摘要：This article focuses on the social choice problem in which decisions are based on the utility of multiple stakeholder types. The sum of these utilities-Utilitarian welfare-is one of the most important objectives in solving the social choice problem. While it is the most efficient solution, maximizing Utilitarian welfare may lead to unfair outcomes. However, Encouraging a Utilitarian decision-maker to adopt a fair decision is challenging due to the associated efficiency loss. This article takes...

摘要：In the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests, numerous companies took action to advance racial equality. Several online platforms added a feature that identified minority-owned businesses to help users locate and, thus, support them. In this study, we investigate how reviews and ratings of restaurants in New York City change after being identified as Black-owned on an online platform. We find that the number of reviews increases, but the average rating decreases after restaurants are identif...

摘要：While we have seen some encouraging examples of firms that try to drive diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices into their supply chains, progress has been frustratingly slow. We argue that a key impediment today and a potential enabler tomorrow-and thus an important subject of operations and supply chain management (OSCM) research-is the array of public policies that sets the rules of the game in OCSM. We differentiate three types of public policy regimes-laissez-faire, regulatory, a...

摘要：We study a make-to-order system with a finite set of customers. Production is stochastic with a nonlinear dependence between the ordered quantity and the production rate. Customers may have to queue until their turn arrives, and therefore their order decisions interact. Specifically, while being served, customers are aware of the queue length and choose one of two order quantities (or service types). The time to the next replenishment (their activity time) is stochastic and depends on the orde...
