Integrated planning for product selection,shelf-space allocation,and replenishment decision with elasticity and positioning effects

As the retail industry is growing larger and more diversified, retailers' decisions about product selection, shelf-space-allocation, and replenishment become more important and challenging. This paper is to present a model for shelf-space allocation with product selection and replenishment decisions to maximize the retailer's profit. The model is based on a two-dimensional display space in which all shelves and products have widths and heights and includes factors that influence demand for each product, such as space and cross-space elasticities and positioning effects. The integrated model presented is mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) because the demand function is non-convex. This research proposes two heuristic algorithms (tabu search and genetic) to solve the MINLP problem. The results show the effectiveness and efficiency of these algorithms by comparing the outputs to the MINLP optimal solution for small data sets and comparing the algorithm performances for large data sets. The solution methodologies expect to support a simultaneous decision-making process for retailers to maximize their revenue.

一体化供应链组合战略的构建

随着供应链之间竞争的加剧,单一地采用精细思想和敏捷思想设计供应链已经不能满足客户的要求。只有合理地运用精细思想和敏捷思想的组合战略,才能使供应链能够同时达到满足终端顾客的产品可获性和有能力购买性的双重需求。同时,使用模块化设计能够降低供应链组合策略的复杂性,增强供应链的适用性和通用性,使供应链结构变得简单化。     

信用担保合约的定价

随着信用担保行业的不断发展,作为高风险行业,对其担保合约的科学定价以覆盖其担保失败的损失,显得极为重要。利用信用担保合约与信用违约互换的支付函数的同构性,构建适当的信用违约互换合约及模拟信用担保公司的信用担保合约,以信用违约互换的定价方式为信用担保公司的信用担保合同进行定价,更能体现出定价模型对担保合约定价的客观性、科学性和准确性。     

不确定性决策与人民币汇率

运用不确定条件下决策的理论和方法,来分析人民币汇率风险评价及管理过程。研究表明,为规避汇率风险,应在完善汇率形成机制的同时,建立健全汇率政策信息的传递与反馈渠道;在微观方面,应积极建立衍生产品市场,为企业的避险行为提供有效的交易平台。     

LDPC码的树图法构造

LDPC码译码采用的是BP算法,但由于回路的存在,使译码重复迭代,特别是短长度的回路使LDPC码的性能下降.为此,用树图法分析了LDPC码的回路及其特性,给出了求解回路长度和所经过节点的方法,非常适合于计算机进行求解.同时也用树图的方法来构造LDPC码,可以在树生成的过程中了解其中的回路数目及长度.     

结合全双工与协作干扰的无线网状网物理层安全策略

针对无线网状网中缺少窃听者先验知识不利场景中的安全连接问题，提出了一种结合全双工和协作干扰技术的物理层安全策略。利用全双工通信中的自干扰消除技术和协作干扰技术，提出的安全策略可有效劣化位于信息传播范围内包括潜伏在接收节点附近窃听者的接收性能。为保证信息的安全传输给出了协作干扰节点的选择方法，基于随机几何等数学方法导出了选定路径的安全连接概率表达式。性能分析和仿真结果表明，所提方法与仅基于全双工或协作干扰技术的方法相比，其安全性能有较大提升。     

Re-examining the link between fairness and commitment in buyer-supplier relationships

By re-examining the link between fairness and commitment in supply chain relationships, this study elaborates on the existing theory that views fairness only as an antecedent. It proposes that commitment can also precede perceived fairness, thus redefining the link between the concepts as bidirectional in buyer–supplier relationships. The study examines both the buyer and supplier perspectives. Based on interviews at 24 technology industry firms in Finland, this empirical study demonstrates that buyer commitment has a positive impact on how suppliers perceive distributive fairness in the relationship. In turn, this effect is reciprocated by the suppliers through a commitment in the form of relationship-specific investments and continuous improvements that are perceived as fair by the buyer. As a managerial implication the study emphasizes the importance of fairness evaluation to the relationship parties.     

Imperfect competition in two-sided matching markets

This paper considers a simple equilibrium model of an imperfectly competitive two-sided matching market. Firms and workers may have heterogeneous preferences over matches on the other side, and the model allows for both uniform and personalized wages or contracts. To make the model tractable, I use the Azevedo and Leshno (2013) framework, in which a finite number of firms is matched to a continuum of workers.In equilibrium, even if wages are exogenous and fixed, firms have incentives to strategically reduce their capacity, to increase the quality of their worker pool. The intensity of incentives to reduce capacity is given by a simple formula, analogous to the classic Cournot model, but depends on different moments of the distribution of preferences. I compare markets with uniform and personalized wages. For fixed quantities, markets with personalized wages always yield higher efficiency than markets with uniform wages, but may be less efficient if firms reduce capacity to avoid bidding too much for star workers.     

经营绩效反馈、环境不确定性与企业广告投入

基于2012～2015年深沪两市A股上市公司样本数据，对经营绩效反馈和企业广告投入之间的关系进行了理论分析和实证检验，并进一步考察了环境不确定性的调节作用。研究结果表明：（1）当企业未实现资本市场经营预期时，随着实际绩效低于经营预期程度的增大，企业广告投入将减少；（2）当企业实现资本市场经营预期时，随着实际绩效高于经营预期程度的增大，企业广告投入将增加；（3）当企业未实现资本市场经营预期时，与低不确定性环境相比，高不确定性环境中企业经营绩效负反馈对广告投入的负向影响将增强；（4）当企业实现资本市场经营预期时，与低不确定性环境相比，高不确定性环境中企经营绩效正反馈对企业广告投入的正向影响将增强。
