烟草商业企业送货线路标准模型研究

当前各物流行业都已通过建立信息系统实时获取送货数据并以此监管送货行为。但如何科学合理地调度及分配送货任务?如何判定从信息系统中获取的实际行为数据是否符合规范、是否切合实际、是否能够促进公平的绩效考核?目前尚缺少行之有效的标准化管理工具对此做出科学的判定。本文以烟草行业商业企业送货环节为研究对象,通过建立送货线路标准模型,将送货工作中的多维变量转换为可计算的单维时间变量,从而为监管实际送货行为提供衡量"砝码"。     

每月案例点评

争议焦点 "三包"日期惹争议,7天包退如何算? 案例回放: 王先生最近遭遇了一件关于"三包"日期的乌龙事件,他打来电话投诉道:"明明是厂家的产品有问题,还没使用就坏了,难道不应该退货?7天包退这个7天究竟该怎么算?" 原来,他在去年年底购买平板电视机时,与经销商约定在12月8日送货、安装并调试.送货安装当日,王先生即发现,电视机液晶屏上有一个坏点.消费者向厂家反映情况后,厂家于12月15日上门检测,并在维修检测单上明确标示:"有一个起泡性坏点",建议消费者凭此检测单联系经销商退货或换货.但是,当王先生找到经销商时,对方却表示,根据购机发票开具之日起算,电视机购买已经超过7天,因此不能退货.王先生认为电视机还未开始使用就计算"三包"日期,而且购买之日与送货日期之间本来就有一个月的间隔,这样的计算方法有欠妥当,故来电向12365质量热线寻求帮助.

Inpatient bed allocation policy under uncertain capacity

This paper concerns the problem of inpatient bed allocation for two classes of patients (scheduled and non-scheduled) when there is uncertainty about daily available capacity. In the afternoon of each day, patients from the scheduled class, also called backlogged elective admissions, are selected from a waiting list, for the admission on the next day. The non-scheduled class, also called emergent admissions, are new requests that arise randomly each day with emergent needs. The capacity of available beds for a medical specialty to provide hospitalization services is uncertain when backlogged elective patients are chosen. Admitting too many of elective patients may result in exceeding a day’s capacity, which can potentially necessitate “overflowing” or “postponing” some emergent requests that should be performed as soon as possible. Therefore, the problem faced by the medical specialty facility at the decision-making point of each day is how many of the backlogged elective patients can be admitted. We formulate this problem as a Markov decision process (MDP) and study the structural properties of the model to characterize the nature of the optimal policy. We propose easy-to-implement policies (the fixed quota policy and the best fixed quota policy), which perform well under fitted distributions. By reporting numerical analyses using real data from a Chinese public hospital, we finally compare the improvements that our proposed solutions could bring to the hospital with the existing practices under several different cost structures.     

Barriers and breakthroughs: an “expanding frontiers” model of the technology-industry life cycle

It is argued that technological progress is marked by a series of discrete “barriers” and “breakthroughs,” which create new fields of technological opportunity. These are not random events, although their exact timing is undoubtedly very difficult to predict. They occur when and where they do because of discontinuities in the laws of nature. The technological life cycle can be defined as the period from a major breakthrough which opens up a new territory for exploitation to the next major barrier. It is characterized by a rapid increase in marginal productivity of R&D to a peak, followed by a more-or-less continuous decline thereafter, as the territory is gradually exhausted. This model is qualitatively consistent with the well-known “S-shaped curve” phenomenon, describing measures of technological performance over time. The model is also qualitatively consistent with Schumpeter's explanation of the so-called Kondratieff or “long” wave.

The General NFP Hospital Model

Throughout the past 30 years, there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the proliferation of new forms of health care delivery organizations that challenge and compete with general NFP community hospitals. Traditionally, the health care system in the United States has been dominated by general NFP (NFP) voluntary hospitals. With the number of for‐profit general hospitals, physician‐owned specialty hospitals, and ambulatory surgical centers increasing, a question arises: “Why is the general NFP community hospital the dominant model?” In order to address this question, this paper reexamines the history of the hospital industry. By understanding how the “general NFP hospital” model emerged and dominated, we attempt to explain the current dominance of general NFP hospitals in the ever changing hospital industry in the United States.     

The effectiveness of using e-collaboration tools in the supply chain: an assessment study with system dynamics

Developments in information technology, in recent years, have enabled major advances in electronic commerce, which is growing at a very fast pace. Although business-to-consumer (B2C) e-commerce seems to be slowing down due to economic conditions, business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce still represents the next generation of business automation.Taking advantage of new technologies, today provides an opportunity, but will be a must in the future. The use of Internet e-collaboration tools will increase in this new era. They play a role of “value creation enabler”, but at the same time they generate a wide range of new business and market “complexities” that companies have to face.This paper presents a classification of “managerial spaces” where multiple trading partners share critical information using e-collaboration tools and assesses the possible local and global impact on the supply chain (SC) performance. This is made by means of a SC model conceptualization and a simulation study with system dynamics.

Pervasive myths in leadership development: Unpacking constraints on leadership learning

Forty years ago, the questions most discussed among those who cared about leadership were “is leadership possible among those who don't have titles and positions?”; “what are the characteristics possessed by effective leaders?”; and “how do we find the people who are the best leaders and help them prepare for positions that will allow them to have an impact?” After many conversations, conferences, research studies, and books, the terrain has shifted among scholars. Now the conversations focus on questions such as “If leadership is a shared responsibility among members of groups, how can the full leadership potential of all be cultivated?”; “What role do collaborators play in empowering positive leadership and defending against those who misuse it?”; and “How can organizations cultivate cultures that support and encourage visionary leadership dedicated to benefitting all?” The shift in the questions that leadership educators now explore, coupled with the breadth and variety of the initiatives dedicated to nurturing it, demonstrate that leadership can be taught. More importantly, the practice of leadership demonstrates that many can pursue leadership and that they must if the opportunities of the 21st century are to be fulfilled. The conversations and the needs for leadership have both shifted and it is now incumbent on those who value leadership most to agree to unifying perspectives that can draw us together in common purpose. From your vantage point, what are the crucial conversations, next steps, and/or thoughts for consideration as we enter the second decade of the 21st century?     

Analysis of the cross-region risk contagion effect in stock market based on volatility spillover networks: Evidence from China

This article uses the stock market regional indexes of 31 provinces (include Province-level municipalities and Minority Autonomous Regions) in mainland China as a sample, and constructs an inter-regional volatility spillover network of China’s stock market based on the GARCH-BEKK model. Through network centrality analysis, Diebold and Yilmaz's spillover index method and block model analysis, we comprehensively analyze the risk contagion effect among different regions in China’s stock market. The empirical results show that: (i) The risk contagion intensity (risk reception intensity) in various regions of China’s stock market has a typical “core-periphery” distribution characteristic due to regions’ different levels of economic development. (ii) There are obvious risk spillover effect in China’s stock market, among which the economically developed regions along the southeastern coast of China, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu, are the main risk transmitters, while the economically undeveloped regions in the Midwest of China, such as Xinjiang, Xizang, Gansu, Nei Menggu and Qinghai are the main risk receivers. (iii) Each region is divided into 4 blocks according to their respective roles in the risk spillover process in China’s stock market. Block 1 that is composed of the economically underdeveloped regions in the Midwest is the “main benefit block”, it acts as a “receiver”. Block 2 that is composed of regions with strong economic growth vitality in the Midwest is a “Bilateral spillover block”, it both plays the role of “receiver” and “transmitter”. Block 3 that is composed of developed regions along the southeast coast, it acts as a “transmitter”; Block 4 that is composed of the relatively fast-growing regions in the Southwest is the “brokers block”, it serves as a “bridge”. The results of this article can provide some reference for investors in financial institutions and decision makers in financial regulators.
