Long delivery lead times and costly transportation postage are significant characteristics of B2C cross-border e-commerce logistics. They engender preference inconsistencies reversals in customers, which can to product returns. The aim this study is enable retailers select the optimal logistics mode that fulfils their marketing strategies while taking returns into consideration. We propose a novel way describe customer utility by incorporating time preferences, construct three models....

As an innovative mode of supply chain finance, financing service offered by a third part logistics (3PL) firm has been practiced over the recent years. This paper investigates optimal operational strategies system consisting supplier, capital-constrained retailer and 3PL firm. In this study, we compare under both decentralised centralised decisions, put forward coordination condition when offers service. Several important results are achieved. First, supplier's wholesale price strategy...

Markdown policies are widely used by retailers to sell perishable food. Consumers purchase food at different prices during sales periods. Some consumers may compare their experience with others who the same items. Price unfairness or inequity is perceived when quoted without reasonable explanations. This study develops an optimal markdown model for pricing optimise retailer revenue and enable a maximum aggregated consumer utility considering individuals' price fairness perception. The serves...

Discriminatory pricing strategy is widely applied in theme parks, but discriminating bases vary different situations. We apply theoretical insights from equity literature and explore how visitors perceive price differences of parks. Visitors' perceptions service value fairness are evaluated a scenario-based experiment. Results indicate that difference does not directly affect visitor's perceived value, whether the provided to differentiated or decisive factor. This study provides practical...

Logistics service supply chain (LSSC) is a new type of chain. This paper investigates the channel coordination issue in two-echelon LSSC composed one logistics integrator (LSI) and functional provider (FLSP) under fairness concerns. The models for reservation price-only contract disadvantageous inequality advantageous are established, respectively, which procurement cost, potential shortage operation cost considered stochastic market demand. Based on this model, LSI’s optimal quantity can be...

Clinical decision intelligence (CDI) is an emerging area in health care, covering a broad range of subjects, from clinical data integration and analysis to knowledge management application development. The goal CDI systems improve health-care quality reduce costs through the discovery, management, heterogeneous rapidly expanding sources. These sources include practice, nursing, administration, medical research. In this paper, we discuss functional requirements reference architecture for...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to put forward a multi-period dynamic pricing strategy for perishable food considering consumers’ price fairness perception. impacts the retail price, freshness and inventory shortage risk on heterogeneous willingness pay (WTP) their strategic purchasing behaviours are studied. Design/methodology/approach authors present optimization model food, conduct laboratory experiment justify theoretical model. data collected analysed by correlation analysis...

Purpose In recent years, some peer-to-peer (P2P) service sharing platforms have improved their quality by setting an entry threshold for providers. Considering consumers' heterogeneous preferences and commission rate, it is worth studying how to select the rate contract a P2P platform under predetermined Design/methodology/approach this study, platform's profit-maximizing model constructed two proposed contracts: unilateral bilateral contract. The optimal are obtained. This study also...

With the increase in carbon emissions tourism industry, more enterprises need to make sustained investments clean energy and green technologies. From perspective of theme park revenue operational management, such mainly come from admission fees in-park consumption. The objective this study is discuss role discriminatory pricing strategies supporting sustainable parks. Based on transaction utility theory equity theory, visitors’ price fairness perception service value are incorporated into...

In the online teaching activities, there are various data accumulated as time series and many methods to analyze quality of teaching. But no such which can emphasize status perception teaching-learning interaction between teachers students. this paper, we adopt multivariate analysis method help improve their promote students' mastery knowledge. We add student learning reflect ability clearly. Through statistical analysis, clustering algorithm visualization, users distinguish students...

The purpose of this study is to understand consumers' anticipated regret in online purchase decisions and provide a realistic method for sellers determine their markdown policy optimize revenue. This paper presented mathematical model seller's under conducted laboratory experiment justify the existence context. Consumers' behavioral data were collected used estimate values parameters policy. Two interesting findings are achieved. First, justifies that will be affected by behavior. Second,...

Logistics service supply chain (LSSC) is a new type of chain, and research on channel coordination LSSC has increasingly caught the attention in studies. Given influence fairness concern behavior, it necessary to incorporate into discuss its effect coordination. This paper examines wholesale price contract under two-echelon setting with stochastic demand from perspective LSI's concerns. Two models are established, that is, disadvantageous inequality aversion model advantageous model....

Electric Performance Support System (EPSS) as an integrated electronic environment can improve the performance of each employee in enterprises by means providing him/her training and educational information they need job. In this paper we introduce workflow technology into design Web-based EPSS, which dynamically manages process models terms changes workflow. By instantiating continually, different types project instantiation be obtained forms basis a general EPSS platform. The procedure...

The purpose of this study is to develop a multi-period pricing strategy for perishable food under the consideration consumers' fairness perception. Perishable refers whose value are decreasing with time goes by, and might become even negative in some circumstance. Many companies researchers realized that great importance would influence not only direct revenues but also satisfaction retention long run, addition avoid extravagance. This paper comes up theoretical model three hypotheses on...
