Purpose This paper aims to shed some new light on the mixed findings of previous empirical studies effect knowledge search breadth (SB) firms’ 2019 innovation performance (IP). Design/methodology/approach The adopts a contingent approach that examines two organizational factors in determining shape SB-IP curve. study is based survey data gathered from 414 Chinese firms. In dealing with concerns simultaneity and reverse causality, perceived time-lag between outcome variable explanatory...

This study considers a two-tier supply chain consisting of fairness-neutral manufacturer and fairness-concerned retailer. The adjusts product quality distributes the products through retailer sells to consumers having reference (RQ) effects that depend on previously purchased change over time, is assumed have three, i.e., fairness neutral (FN), with status point (FSP) non-status (FNSP), behaviors. modeled as Stackelberg game wherein has first mover advantage. utility optimal control models...

This study examines the pricing policies and dual-channel strategies in a two-tier supply chain where manufacturer distributes products through retailer considers opening of traditional direct online channel or live-streaming sales The has three modes, i.e., retail only, channel, to consider. play Stackelberg game wherein first mover advantage. two members can follow decision sequences decides price before does one, cooperate decide prices simultaneously other. profit optimization models for...

This study explores whether and how the development of green finance can facilitate social responsibility highly polluting enterprises. We conducted a quasi-natural experiment in 2017 five Chinese provinces (districts), based on establishment reform innovation pilot zones. The research samples were China's A-share heavy pollution-industry-listed companies from 2013 to 2020, difference differences model was used examine relationship between fulfilment firms. mediating moderating effects...

This study investigates the joint pricing and stocking decisions for a loss‐averse retailer with reference point effect under stochastic demand. By solving an expected utility maximization model developed based on prospect theory, optimal are derived compared those of classical newsvendor. The results show that significantly depend loss aversion coefficient, optimism level, strength. Smaller coefficient lower level lead to higher utilities. In particular, smaller benefits from strength vice versa.

Purpose Although collaborative research is believed to be an important means of accessing external knowledge, on whether taking a strategic network position benefits new product development (NPD) inconclusive. This study aims unravel the conditions under which within conducive for firm’s NPD. Design/methodology/approach Drawing social theory, absorptive capacity theory and knowledge recombinant studies, this examines how positions (i.e. degree centrality structural holes) base cohesion local...

With the rapid development of credit cards industry, there is an increasing number delinquency rates on card loans, which imposes a financial risk for commercial banks. Therefore, successful resolutions risks are important healthy industry in long term. The existed methods, such as FICO model [1] (developed by Fair Isaac Company) can estimate probabilities defaults, but it based totally subjective judgement people. This means that comes with several undesirable problems, including low...

This research builds on the idea that exchange of resources between leaders and followers can influence behavior employees. Specifically, study investigates how develop strong leader-member (LMX) with their followers, this lead to increased employee voice behavior. The analyzed data collected from 365 individual employees working in Chinese organization. findings indicate LMX acts as a mediator spiritual leadership strength mediation, however, depends followers' level traditionality...

This paper presents a coordination model that contains three active entities: actors, roles, and coordinators. Actors abstract the system's functionalities while roles coordinators statically encapsulate constraints dynamically propagate these among themselves onto actors. A software attack-tolerance survivability in open hostile environments are enhanced through appropriate constraint propagations enforcements. The role represents group of actors share same set behaviors declared by role....

Purpose This work examines the joint pricing and ordering (JPO) decisions for a loss-averse retailer with quantity-oriented reference point (RP) effect under demand uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach The is assumed to be uncertain mean variance as only known information. prospect theory used model retailer's expected utility. An utility maximization in distribution-free approach (DFA) then developed. Using duality theory, worst-case distribution transformed into tractable piece-wise...

Abstract This study focuses on a multi‐period inventory problem with capital constraints and demand uncertainties. The is formulated as an optimization model joint chance constraint ( JCC ) requiring the purchase cost for each period not to exceed available probability guarantee. To hedge against uncertainties, affinely adjustable robust approach used convert developed into counterpart. By approximating under budgeted uncertainty set which demands belong, transformed linear programming...

Purpose This paper investigates the impact of strategic alliance network centrality and structural holes on firm innovation efficiency. In addition, aims to explore moderating effects government R&D subsidies technology standardization. Design/methodology/approach Based upon literature networks, this proposes a conceptual model with several hypotheses. The empirical analysis is based sample 736 observations from 92 mechanical manufacturing firms in China 2010 2017. We measured efficiency...

The ubiquity of the internet and pervasive interconnectedness our digital lives have led to an unprecedented surge in user-generated data. This deluge data, often referred as "new oil," presents businesses with a vast reservoir opportunities gain profound insights into their customer base. Huawei has recognized that within this data landscape lies power craft marketing strategies product innovations deeply resonate audience. In essence, Huawei's journey through realms data-driven target...

Abstract This work investigates a two‐tier supply chain in which supplier adjusts product quality and prices distributes the products through retailer or directly to consumers with reference (RQ) effect. The can choose from three, that is, traditional sales (TS), dual‐channel (DC), online‐to‐offline (O2O), modes. In O2O mode, is allowed open an online channel. market demands are determined by consumer utility consisting of two parts, part depending on RQ effect other retail price quality....

Abstract Despite the ability of 3D convolutional methods to extract spatio-temporal information simultaneously, they also increase parameter redundancy and computational storage costs. Previous work that has utilized 2D convolution method approached problem in one two ways: either using entire body sequence as input global features or dividing into several parts local features. However, tends overlook detailed specific each part, while fails capture relationships between regions. Therefore,...

Innovative and creative employees are crucial for increasing organizations' competitive advantage. This study examined the relationship between Zhongyong thinking employee innovative behavior, along with mediating role of leader–member exchange (LMX). Participants were 275 subordinates 61 supervisors employed at a large enterprise in China. We tested proposed hypotheses structural equation modeling based on time-lagged survey. The results show that, as predicted, both LMX positively related...

Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought a heavy burden and challenges to the global economy society, forcing different countries regions take various preventive control measures ranging from normal operations partial or complete lockdowns. Taking Xi’an city as an example, based on multisource POI data for government’s vegetable storage delivery points, logistics terminal outlets, designated medical institutions, communities, etc., this...

E-commerce enterprises, as a kind of Internet data operation model will be their certain choice. They take information economic factors and use big strategic resources. Management accounting plays leading role indispensable in e-commerce enterprise operation. Only change processing methods management integrate its tools establish Balance Scorecard basing operational strategies data, with technologies organically. That promote efficiency greatly improve the development enterprises.
