Elmaghraby\nDean’s Chair of Operations Management\nSenior Associate Dean for Faculty\nUniversity of Maryland\nRobert H. Smith School of Business \nPresentation Title: Impact of Markdown Price Strategy on Returns\nAbstract: A substantial proportion of purchases in the fashion industry are returned\, representing around $890 billion in merchandise annually. This study investigates how different discount strategies influence net sales\, and in particular\, return rates. Our analysis focuses on three key factors influencing the effectiveness of discount strategies in enhancing net sales: customers’ uncertainty about a product’s post-purchase value\, the post-purchase leverage effect of bundle discounts\, and customer inattention to pricing details. Collaborating with one of Turkiye’s largest fashion retailers\, we use structural estimation to evaluate bundle discounts in comparison to per-item discounts. Our findings reveal that net sales under bundle discounts can outperform per-item discounts by 15.61% when the post-purchase leverage effect is utilized effectively. However\, bundle discounts may underperform when this leverage is absent or poorly implemented. Additionally\, we find that customers often exhibit inattention to pricing details\, resulting in an overestimation of a product bundle’s value at the time of purchase\, which subsequently contributes to higher return rates. \n  \n \nSaman Lagzi\nAssistant Professor\nUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\nKenan-Flagler Business School \nPresentation Title: Restaurant Assortment Optimization for (Office) Meal Delivery Platforms\nAbstract: We study the problem an office meal delivery platform faces every day. Such platforms connect client firms to restaurants\, by offering a menu of compatible restaurants to all the employees in an office. We model the problem as a capacitated joint assortment optimization on a bipartite graph with supply and demand nodes. We tackle this problem using a Linear Programming relaxation of a reformulation of the original model\, and by leveraging the rather soft nature of the capacity constraints in practice\, we devise an asymptotically optimal assortment sampling algorithm. In collaboration with one of North America’s largest office meal delivery platforms\, we test the performance of our LP-based sampling algorithm in a carefully controlled field experiment. Our results suggest that our methodology improves the platform’s per-employee profit and revenue by at least 14%\, and 11%\, respectively. This improvement is achieved by carefully matching firms with restaurants with shorter distances while maintaining attraction and variety. \n  \n \nJohn Lowrey\nAssistant Professor\nNortheastern University\nD’Amore-McKim School of Business \nPresentation Title: Retail food donations and operational efficiency\nAbstract: Retail food donations to food banks are a cornerstone of corporate social responsibility. While prior research has associated food donations with stronger revenue performance\, their role in shaping inventory management efficiency remains less understood. Using transaction-level donation records from Donor Source Reports paired with store production data from NielsenIQ’s TDLinx database\, we apply stochastic frontier analysis to examine how donations influence store-level efficiency. Our analysis shows that (1) food donations are positively linked to efficiency; (2) the relationship between donations and efficiency follows an inverted U-shape; and (3) donations boost efficiency more in highly deprived areas and less in more affluent ones. These findings highlight that social responsibility and operational efficiency represent complementary capabailities. \n  \n \nOnkar Malgonde\nAssistant Professor\nNorth Carolina State University\nPoole College of Management \nPresentation Title: How Does a Curation Algorithm Influence User Content Generation on a Social Media Platform? Evidence from a Quasi-Experiment\nAbstract: We develop an agent-based model of users’ content consumption and generation to hypothesize that platform’s decision to introduce a curation algorithm leads to decrease in the volume\, quality\, and diversity of content generated. To empirically evaluate our hypotheses\, we leverage a natural experiment setting in China: Sina Weibo\, largest social media platform\, introduced a curation algorithm in 2012 whereas Tencent Weibo\, the second-largest social media platform\, did not. Using data on 2\,192 users between February 2012 and November 2012\, we perform a synthetic difference-in-difference analysis by comparing users’ behavioral changes on these two platforms. Our findings suggest that introduction of a curation algorithm discourages users’ content generation: users post 19% less content\, 32% shorter content\, and 27% less diverse in topics. Our findings have important implications for research on curation algorithms and platform governance. \n  \n \nSytske Wijnsma\nAssistant Professor\nUniversity of California (Berkeley)\nHaas School of Business \nPresentation Title: Smarter Products\, Shorter Lifespans The Environmental and Social Cost of Embedded Software\nAbstract: Rapidly developing embedded software has put pressure on the lifespan of hardware\, increasing e-waste. This paper examines how supply chains address obsolescence through legacy software support or hardware overbuilding. We analyze the impact of integrated versus decentralized supply chain designs and assess how Extended Producer Responsibility influences firm incentives\, environmental outcomes\, and consumer welfare. \n  \n \nŞafak Yücel\nAssociate Professor\nAssociate Director at the Business of Sustainability Initiative\nGeorgetown University\nMcDonough School of Business \nPresentation Title: Additionality of Carbon Offsets: Project-specific vs. Standardized Baselines\nAbstract: Developers generate carbon offsets by investing in emissions-reduction projects to receive two sources of revenue: project revenue\, e.g.\, from the electricity sold in a renewable energy project\, and offset revenue based on offsets issued by a non-profit carbon registry. The registry ensures additionality\, i.e.\, the offset should represent one unit of reduction from the developer’s business-as-usual emissions—what the developer’s emissions would have been without the offset revenue. Although environmental groups raise greenwashing concerns against non-additional offsets\, ensuring additionality is challenging because it requires assessing project revenue\, which is the developer’s private information. In practice\, the registry assigns a baseline to represent business-as-usual emissions through one of the two methods: Under the project-specific method\, a developer self-reports its business-as-usual emissions to the registry\, which then inspects the report and assigns reported emissions as the baseline if it accepts the project. Under the standardized method\, the registry assigns a common baseline to a group of similar projects. It is unclear which method leads to fewer non-additional offsets\, greater reduction in emissions\, and should be chosen by a registry. We analyze these economic and environmental implications.

We investigate how consumers respond to the locally tailored fulfillment options made available to them by the online grocer. We employ a geographical regression discontinuity design to find the causal effect of delivery introduction. Based on this empirical evidence\, we build and estimate a structural model and perform a counter-factual analysis to estimate the revenue increase from additionally offering delivery. We examine how the retailer can leverage data to customize locally available fulfillment options while scaling operations. \n  \n \nDorothee Honhon\nProfessor\nAssociate Dean for Sustainability and Societal Impact\nUniversity of Texas at Dallas\nNaveen Jindal School of Management \nPresentation Title:  Why you should not trust expiration dates: The impact of date labels on food waste\nAbstract:  We examine the challenges faced by a food producer selling a perishable product directly to consumers. The producer must determine the optimal shelf life (expiration date) for the product\, considering the product’s biological characteristics\, consumers’ expectations regarding shelf life\, and relevant revenue and cost factors. Additionally\, the producer decides on the frequency of batch production and the quantity produced to maximize expected profit. We analyze how these decisions influence waste\, under different assumptions regarding consumers’ purchase and consumption behavior with respect to shelf life. \n  \n \nBora Keskin\nAssociate Professor\nDuke University\nFuqua School of Business \nPresentation Title: Innovator’s Edge in Supply Chain Transparency and Food Waste Reduction\nAbstract: Emerging digital technologies allow fresh produce retailers to track product freshness in real time\, providing opportunities to improve supply chain efficiency and reduce food waste. In a duopoly with freshness-dependent demand\, we analyze whether an innovator gains a competitive advantage over a follower in terms of profit\, food waste reduction\, and consumer surplus. The innovator can reduce the market share of a non-adopting competitor\, thereby mitigating excess inventory and food waste. Our findings also suggest that grocery retail markets with fewer competitors may have a higher propensity for industry-wide technology adoption. \n  \n \nPelin Pekgun\nThomas H. Davis Professor in Business\nWake Forest University\nSchool of Business \nPresentation Title:  Reducing Food Waste in U.S. Food Banks: The Role of Distribution Strategies\nAbstract:  Food banks serve an important role in addressing food insecurity by matching the supply of excess food with the demand from the food-insecure population. Reducing waste in the food distribution process is critical to improving the effectiveness of food banks. Utilizing data from 200 food banks within the Feeding America network over a five-year horizon\, our study provides a better understanding of the impact of direct distribution strategies\, an increased trucking capacity\, or an increased pantry size on the level of food waste in the distribution process\, which can help food banks make more informed decisions on where to invest their limited resources to reduce food waste. \n  \n \nOlga Perdikaki\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of South Carolina\nDarla Moore School of Business \nPresentation Title: Is Fast Fashion Really Killing the Planet? A Comparison to Traditional Apparel Supply Chains\nAbstract: Apparel retailers generally follow one of two supply chain approaches: the traditional approach or the fast fashion approach. The former is characterized by long lead times and more durable products while the latter is characterized by shorter lead times and less durable products. From an environmental perspective\, the fast fashion approach receives a larger amount of criticism\, primarily because of the “single-use-purchases” culture that it has perpetuated. We build an infinite-horizon game-theoretic model to compare the two approaches from the perspective of environmental impact. We characterize the greenness of each approach by focusing on the effects of leftover inventory and product durability and find that the fast fashion approach is greener than the traditional approach for certain products and market conditions. The potential greenness of fast fashion contrasts with the popular belief that this approach is always worse for the environment\, thus raising questions on regulations to move away from it. \n  \n \nLeon Valdes\nAssociate Professor\nUniversity of Pittsburgh\nJoseph M. Katz School of Business \nPresentation Title:  The Authenticity of Purpose Claims – Firm Capacity and Job Seeker Responses to Recruitment Efforts\nAbstract:  We examine job seekers’ responses to corporate purpose claims. First\, we develop and validate a novel measure of purpose claim strength\, using a combination of topic modeling\, dictionary-based validation\, and experimental validation. With this measure\, we use a job-application dataset to test the effect of purpose and its interaction with firm capacity\, using firm size as a proxy for capacity. We find that high-purpose job posts receive approximately 50% more applications than low-purpose job posts when the firm has more than 1\,000 employees\, but receive only about a 10% increase when the firm has fewer than 50 employees. In a second study\, we use a series of vignette experiments to test our hypothesized mechanisms: we show that size manipulations shape capacity perceptions\, leading to an increase in perceived authenticity of corporate purpose claims and\, hence\, an increase in job attraction. A similar result holds when capacity is signaled through an association-based manipulation.

We then discuss how these startups can be leveraged as research partners for practice-driven research in sustainability. We illustrate this classroom-to-startup-to-research pipeline by discussing Essmart and StanPlus — two startups that began as OM course projects and ultimately served as partners for research published in M&SOM and POM. \n  \nMaria Mayorga\nUniversity Faculty Scholar and Professor of Personalized Medicine\nNC State University\nEdward P. Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering \nPresentation Title: Health Analytics to Improve Decision-Making in Clinical Practice\nAbstract: The quantity and variety of health data is vast and increasing every day. However\, the data is often messy\, complex\, missing or incomplete and requires domain expertise for sense-making. If we can harness the power of this data\, it can be used to improve all parts of the patient care cycle\, from prevention to diagnosis to treatment. I will discuss some of these challenges and opportunities and provide a brief overview of health analytics related research projects in Health Systems Engineering at NC State. In addition\, I will provide details on a project which aims to identify individuals at risk of developing vision threatening diabetic retinopathy. \n  \nBradley Staats\nThe Ellison Distinguished Professor of Operations\, Senior Associate Dean for Strategy and Academics and Faculty Director of the Center for the Business of Health\nUNC Chapel Hill\nKenan-Flagler Business School \nPresentation Title: Discretionary Tasks under Operating and Peer Performance: Evidence from the Emergency Department\nAbstract: We investigate the factors that influence knowledge workers’ decisions to undertake discretionary tasks. Using an emergency department (ED) setting\, this study focuses on the impact of operating factors such as workload\, time left in shift\, prior interactions\, and relative performance compared to peers on a physician’s discretionary decision to order a CT scan. We collect detailed operational\, clinical\, and physician level data from the ED of a large healthcare system in a U.S. East Coast metropolitan city and examine over 50\,000 patient observations and over 90 physicians over a year. Our findings increase our theoretical understanding of knowledge worker discretionary decisions and offer important managerial implications. \n  \nJayashankar Swaminathan\nGlaxoSmithKline Distinguished Professor of Operations\nUNC Chapel Hill\nKenan-Flagler Business School \nPresentation Title: Process Standardization in Healthcare Operations\nAbstract: Healthcare services provided to patients with similar health conditions are known to vary. Using detailed nonpublic inpatient discharge data from about 35 million inpatient stays at 296 acute care hospitals in California between 2008-2016\, we create a metric that quantifies process standardization measured in terms of consistency of healthcare services rendered. We examine the impact of such process standardization on the cost\, quality\, and variation in quality of care delivered by a hospital. We find that process standardization is associated with a reduction in cost per discharge\, readmission rates and variation in readmission rates. We also find that increasing capacity utilization and complexity of patient disease mix is associated with a reduction in process standardization\, while increasing focus and process adherence is associated with an increase in process standardization. \n  \nDoug Thomas\nHenry E. McWane Professor of Business Administration\nUniversity of Virginia\nDarden School of Business \nPresentation Title: How Trade Policy Reshapes Global Supply Chains\nAbstract: In this talk I will discuss four factors that will lead to an unprecedented reshaping of global supply chains: (1) Consumer and investor preferences\, (2) what is likely to be fleeting attention to supply chain resilience\, (3) technology\, and (4) trade policy. While all four factors are important\, I will spend most of the talk on trade policy. An ever-increasing number of trade agreements\, each with increasing complexity\, makes operations-related research and insights more important than ever. I will share initial observations from very early-stage research on how the Dominican Republic-Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR) has started to reshape apparel supply chains. I will attempt to connect these observations to operations principles that can be applied more generally in evaluating trade policy. \n  \nYanchong Zheng\nGeorge M. Bunker Professor and Associate Professor of Operations Management\nMIT\nSloan School of Management \nPresentation Title: Incentive Design for Sustainable Practices in Smallholder Supply Chains\nAbstract: In this talk\, we examine and contrast two mainstream approaches to motivate smallholder farmers to adopt sustainable practices: carbon offsetting by third-party intermediaries vs. carbon insetting by downstream supply chain buyers. We develop a principal-agent model where the principal aims to ensure continued compliance with sustainable practices at minimal cost\, while farmers allocate limited resources between two competing efforts: sustainable practice and agricultural production. Our results highlight when the offsetting or insetting approach may be more effective and economical. As such\, we provide practical insights for companies as they develop their investment strategies to meet carbon goals.

SUMMARY:Overcoming a Pandemic: A Two-Way Street [Free Webinar]
DESCRIPTION:In the last year\, we’ve seen how important it is for healthcare and service providers to work strategically and efficiently to combat a global pandemic. However\, there are also several insights regarding what is happening (or perhaps should happen) on the consumer and supply chain side of things that may have a drastic impact on our collective ability to overcome COVID-19 and future pandemics. \nThe SCRC and Poole College of Management are proud to showcase two of our university’s experts who have been involved in distinct research surrounding both sides of this COVID-19 equation at an upcoming webinar on February 5th. \nThe event will include two 30-minute feature presentations by our experts\, each followed by a Q&A session during which our guests will answer live questions from the audience.  \nFeatured Presentations\nCreating New Intersections in Business and Medicine: The Case of Consumer Choice Theory \nStacy Wood\, Langdon Distinguished University Professor of Marketing\, Poole College of Management\nStacy Wood\, Langdon Distinguished University Professor of Marketing\, Poole College of Management \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has created massive structural shifts\, from working remotely to the proliferation of distanced services. One example with enduring outcomes has been the infusion of business knowledge into medical challenges. In this talk\, Dr. Wood will discuss two examples of her own work with COVID-19 issues and how these connections will serve us well in meeting new future challenges and developing new innovative opportunities. \nRecent research: If You Build It\, Will They Get Vaccinated? Experts Tap into Behavioral Research to Promote COVID-19 Vaccination in the U.S. \n  \nInforming an Efficient\, Effective and Equitable Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic \nJulie Swann\, A. Doug Allison Distinguished Professor\, Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering\nJulie Swann\, A. Doug Allison Distinguished Professor\, Fitts Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering \nPlanning and responding to a pandemic is complex\, but it can be informed by mathematical modeling along with knowledge of public health and supply chain contexts. Dr. Swann will summarize disease modeling embedded in a COVID-19 network simulation\, highlighting recent results analyzing pharmaceutical and other interventions. Her talk will provide an overview of how the public health system in the US allocates and distributes the COVID-19 vaccine along with potential pitfalls and areas for improvement. She will also discuss several scenarios that could occur over the upcoming months. \nSwann has been a vital source if information over the course of the pandemic\, having been featured in the media close to 1\,000 times in the last year. \nOther topics\nDr. Robert Handfield\,  Bank of America University Distinguished Professor of Operations and Supply Chain Management\, will conclude the event by summarizing additional pandemic-related research happening at NC State and sharing relevant resources.  \nRegistration\nTo register for this event\, please click here. \n[button]Register >>[/button] \nQuestions? \nPlease contact us.

SUMMARY:Seminar: "Scoring a Touchdown with Variable Pricing: Evidence from a Quasi-Experiment in the NFL Ticket Markets"
DESCRIPTION:The Poole College of Management is pleased to host Necati Tereyagoglu from the Darla Moore School of Business\, at the University of South Carolina for an operations/SCM seminar at the Poole College of Management. His talk will take place from 1:30 – 3 pm in Nelson 2302. The title and abstract of the paper are below. \n  \nTitle: Scoring a Touchdown with Variable Pricing: Evidence from a Quasi-Experiment in the NFL Ticket Markets \nAbstract: \nEvent organizers are moving from fixed to variable pricing. Although this is theoretically shown to enable organizers to respond to changing demand across events\, reports point to somewhat limited implementation due to the unpredictable nature of the popularity of an event and to the unaccounted-for dynamics of the resale market. In this paper\, we study the implications of a switch to variable pricing using a quasi-experimental data from the National Football League. Applying a difference-in-differences technique with propensity-score weighting\, we find that teams switched to variable pricing sold 2.95% additional tickets per game through the primary market. We provide suggestive evidence that this positive effect is due to the quality-signaling nature of variable pricing for price-sensitive customers. Specifically\, we find that variable pricing resulted in higher primary market sales at (i) games in hometowns with lower income levels and higher income diversity\, and (ii) unattractive games. We also explore whether variable pricing led to any negative effects through the resale market. With variable pricing\, although the number of ticket listings in the resale market went up for unattractive games\, customers did not list their tickets at lower prices. This indicates that variable pricing did not lead to cannibalization from resale markets. For attractive games\, the minimum listing price in the resale market increased. This shows that the display of popularity through teams’ higher prices increased the option-value for these games\, and explains why the primary market ticket sales remained steady for attractive games\, even after the increase in prices.

SUMMARY:Seminar: "Pricing Strategy for On-Demand Service Platforms"
DESCRIPTION:The Poole College of Management is pleased to host Jiaru Bai from Wake Forest University for an operations/SCM seminar on Thursday\, November 7th. Her talk will take place from 1:30-3 pm in Nelson Hall\, room 2302. The title and abstract of the paper is below. \nTitle: Pricing Strategy for On-Demand Service Platforms \nAbstract: \nIn the first part of the talk\, we consider an on-demand service platform using earning-sensitive independent providers with heterogeneous reservation price (for work participation) to serve its time and price-sensitive customers with heterogeneous valuation of the service. As such\, the supply and demand are “endogenously” dependent on the price the platform charges its customers and the wage the platform pays its independent providers. We present an analytical model with endogenous supply (number of participating agents) and endogenous demand (customer request rate) to study this on-demand service platform. To coordinate endogenous demand with endogenous supply\, we include the steady-state waiting time performance based on a queueing model in the customer utility function to characterize the optimal price and wage rates that maximize the profit of the platform. We first analyze a base model that uses a fixed payout ratio (i.e.\, the ratio of wage over price)\, and then extend our model to allow the platform to adopt a time-based payout ratio. We find that it is optimal for the platform to charge a higher price when demand increases; however\, the optimal price is not necessarily monotonic when the provider capacity or the waiting cost increases. We use a set of actual data from a large on-demand ride-hailing platform to calibrate our model parameters in numerical experiments to illustrate some of our main insights. \nIn the second part of the talk\, we discuss competition issues in the on-demand industry. As entrepreneurs develop and as venture capital firms finance various on-demand service platforms\, it is important for them to examine whether multiple competing platforms can co-exist profitably. To address this question\, we analyze the equilibrium structure by solving different variants of a 2-stage non-cooperative game in which both platforms use lower prices and waiting time to compete for more customers and higher wages and utilization to entice more providers to participate. We find that only one platform can sustain in equilibrium when both firms operate under six operational assumptions 1) Non-exclusive providers; 2) Non-exclusive customers; 3) Pure pricing strategies; 4) Homogeneous services; 5) Homogeneous providers; and 6) Homogeneous customers. We examine whether this “winner-take-all” equilibrium would persist when those operational environmental assumptions are relaxed separately. Our analysis reveals that the “winner-take-all” phenomenon continues to persist under service differentiation\, heterogeneous service providers\, and promotional pricing strategies. However\, both platforms may be profitable when customers are heterogeneous\, or when each platform engages providers or customers exclusively. Our results offer insights into different operating environments under which both platforms may co-exist profitably.

SUMMARY:Author Event: David Wallace-Wells\, The Uninhabitable Earth
DESCRIPTION:The future is being transformed by climate change faster and more dramatically than we realize. Politics\, technology\, cities\, business—even our sense of history\, human rights\, and justice—will all be changed by this massive force. But how? To what degree? \nClimate-change journalist David Wallace-Wells asks and answers crucial questions like these in his new book\, Uninhabitable Earth. Wallace-Wells visits campus to talk about his book and sign copies on Tuesday\, Oct. 15 from 3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. in the Witherspoon Student Center (2810 Cates Ave.). \nThe event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for on-site purchase and signing from the NC State Bookstore. Tickets are available on Eventbrite here. \n“David Wallace-Wells addresses climate change by synthesizing various perspectives on the issue and calling for action on sustainability and environmental stewardship\,” said Katharine Stewart\, vice provost for faculty affairs. “His insight will be of great benefit to our students\, faculty and staff as they seek to address global challenges through teaching\, research\, and service.” \nWallace-Wells is the Deputy Editor at New York\, where he writes a column on climate change\, and where his viral cover story “The Uninhabitable Earth” was met with widespread acclaim\, paving the way for his book. Formerly the Deputy Editor of The Paris Review\, and a National Fellow at the New America Foundation\, he is the co-host of the podcast 2038\, which interrogates predictions about the next two decades. \nWallace-Wells’s appearance is sponsored by the University Speakers and Lectures Committee\, with support from the Harrelson Fund and the University Scholars Program. \n  \nReserve your free tickets here. \n
