Despite the positive societal implications of corporate social responsibility (CSR), there remains an extensive debate regarding its consequences for firm shareholders. This study posits that marketing capability plays a complementary role in CSR–shareholder wealth relationship. It further argues influence will be higher CSR types with verifiable benefits to stakeholders (i.e., consumers, employees, channel partners, and regulators). An analysis utilizing secondary information large sample...

ABSTRACT This study examines how firms adjust their sourcing decisions due to variations in policy uncertainty. Some studies recommend diversification manage uncertainty, whereas others argue it complicates supply chains and favors onshoring instead. The theoretical ambiguity surrounding appropriate responses domestic upstream uncertainty necessitates empirical investigation. Therefore, the assesses influences a focal firm's restructure its chain along two dimensions: (a)...

Abstract Extant research in operations management has revealed divergent insights into the value potential of resource efficiency. While one view relates efficiency with good and asserts that slack resources are a form waste should be minimized, other suggests limited can impose heavy costs on firms by making them brittle. In this research, authors build these views to investigate relationship inventory, production, marketing three metrics financial performance (i.e., Stock‐Returns, Tobin's...

Purchasing and supply management (PSM) are crucial for the effective efficient operation of manufacturing firms, now more than ever. The PSM function has evolved from being routine mechanical to a that can deliver true competitive advantage. trend toward increased globalisation outsourcing, along with focus on innovation- capability-driven management, led an reliance suppliers. This significantly enhanced importance companies. heightened significance in practice been paralleled by increasing...

Abstract The rise in front‐end service outsourcing recent years, despite its advantages, has also exposed buyer firms to unique challenges. One of the most salient risks for triads is failure due provider. Indeed such failures may be more costly greater relational and operational costs that arise from presence third‐party Yet, neither services literature nor extant operations on paid much attention financial consequences firm – i.e., triads. To fill this gap, we investigate penalty provider...

Abstract Inventories represent an important strategic resource for firms, with implications shareholder wealth. As such, firms expend considerable effort in managing their inventories efficiently. Among other factors, information technology (IT) capability can play role enabling inventory efficiency and financial performance. However, insight into the chain‐of‐effects linking IT capability, efficiency, stock market returns risk remains limited. In this paper, we provide a conceptual model...

This paper illustrates the use of secondary data for operations and supply chain management research by investigating association between efficient innovation firms. An empirical inquiry is conducted using archival financial statement information patent citation firms in manufacturing sector, over a 10-year period from 1987 to 1996. Longitudinal analysis, focusing on influence firm's time, conducted. Results limitations are discussed along with summary steps, which may be followed when research.

This study develops an understanding of the antecedents and performance‐related consequences strategic environmental sourcing ( SES ). Institutional pressure firm's engagement serve as to , with performance dimensions including environmental, product development, quality performance. While direct relationships between these have been studied in prior work, present research adds greater specificity depth by investigating process contingency effects on product‐level outcomes. The...

Focal firms are struggling to improve their environmental performance for several reasons, including a scarcity of internal and external resources. This study suggests that coopetition provides boost focal firm’s performance. In particular, this research theorizes coopetitor has spillover effect on also investigates the moderating role financial slack, leverage, inventory leanness relationship. The empirical analysis indicates firms’ significantly influences relationship is weaker with...

The defining character of tics is that they can be transiently suppressed by volitional effort will, and at a behavioural level this has led to the concept result from failure inhibition. However, logic conflates mechanism responsible for production with used in suppressing them. Volitional inhibition motor output could increased prevent tic reaching threshold expression, although been extensively investigated conflicting results. Alternatively, automatic initial excitation striatal focus-a...

Purpose This study uncovers how government interventions, in terms of stringency and support, shape coronavirus disease 2019's (COVID-19) detrimental impact on organizations' performance. Specifically, this paper studies whether support play complementary or substitutive roles lowering COVID-19's Design/methodology/approach The authors gathered primary data from USA manufacturing companies combined with secondary the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker (OxCGRT) to test proposed model...

Scheduling patients involves a trade‐off between the productivity of service provider and customer service. This study considers how outpatient medical facilities can improve their appointment scheduling by incorporating individual patient information in process. Specifically, we obtain data on characteristics examination durations from health clinic, describe that be used to predict clinic's system, evaluate benefit using over conventional classification method. Computational results...

Abstract Recent advances in manufacturing and communication technology have made it possible for firms to offer products that are personalized individual customers’ specifications. While personalizing leads benefits firms, also requires significant resources, calling into question the financial efficacy of this practice. This situation is especially salient pharmaceutical industry, where drugs individuals. type medicine expected account approximately 50% drug spending U.S. market by 2022;...

Existing research has considered how pure online retailers can optimise the allocation of fulfilment responsibilities for sales. However, policies used by may be suboptimal their dual-channel counterparts. This paper considers order cross-channel retail/e-tail organisations which utilise buy online, ship from store (BOSS) fulfilment. Specifically, we develop and evaluate a policy allocating set multiproduct orders across retailer's locations when retailer also faces in-store demand same...

Successful human behavior relies on the ability to flexibly alter movements depending context in which they are made. One such context-dependent modulation is proactive inhibition, a type of behavioral inhibition used when anticipating need stop or change movements. We investigated how motor cortex might prepare and execute made under different contexts. transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil orientations [postero-anterior (PA) antero-posterior (AP) flowing currents] pulse widths (120...

Abstract Existing research provides contrasting perspectives on the implications of product recalls for firms. While some studies find that represent failures can motivate firms to innovate, others suggest resource‐intensive nature may inhibit from innovating. This study presents a theoretical framework reconciles these two by proposing an inverted U‐shaped relationship between firm's recall frequency and innovation output. The paper also evaluates effect growth potential...
