Electric vehicles (EVs) have been proposed as a key technology to help cut down the massive greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector. Unfortunately, because of the limited capacity of batteries, typical EVs can only travel for about 100 miles on a single charge and require hours...

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions and temper oil dependence in the transportation sector, solutions such as electric vehicles (EVs) and car sharing have been proposed and promoted. EV sharing, the combination of these technological and operational solutions, aims to overcome hurdles in the way...

Emerging collaborative consumption business models have shown promise in terms of both generating business opportunities and enhancing the efficient use of resources. In the transportation domain, car sharing models are being adopted on a mass scale in major metropolitan areas worldwide. This...

When an unreliable supplier serves multiple retailers, the retailers may compete with each other by inflating their order quantities in order to obtain their desired allocation from the supplier, a behavior known as the rationing game. We introduce capacity information sharing and a capacity...

We introduce the concept of the lt;igt;reverse bullwhip effectlt;/igt; (RBWE), which can be caused by supply disruptions. In the RBWE, order variability increases as one moves downstream in the supply chain, and therefore the RBWE is the opposite of the classical bullwhip effect (BWE). We test...

When product recalls happen, firms not only have to incur additional logistics costs but also suffer from a damaged reputation. Besides, they may also supply disruption risk, under which a supplier could fail to deliver the quantity ordered at all. In this paper, we discuss how to mitigate...

When supply disruptions occur, firms want to employ an effective pricing strategy to reduce losses. However, firms typically don't know precisely how customers will react to price changes in the short term, during a disruption. In this paper, we investigate three different pricing strategies,...
