Based on Revenue Sharing Mechanism

There are strong complementarities between feeder and trunk routes. This paper
considered the competition among parallel substitute itineraries and studied the
pricing problem of feeder and trunk routes combined path. Based on the vertical
integration and diversification in transport chain, a Bertrand game model was
established. A reasonable revenue sharing mechanism was further designed,
making the transport chain coordinate under decentralized decision making.
Numerical Example verifies the effectiveness of the model. The results show that
centralized decision making and reasonable revenue sharing mechanism
contribute more to boost profits and reduce the transport cost of the shipper.
3 - A Multi Objective Hub Location Model For A Distribution Network
Under Uncertainty In Demand And Time

In this paper, we develop a multi-objective mixed integer stochastic model (MMS)
for hub location problem under uncertainty. The transportation time between
each pair of nodes and demand of each node are uncertain parameters. Our
multi-objective model includes (1) Minimization of establishment cost as well as
transportation cost and (2) minimization of delay between each pair of nodes.

1 - Sustainable Supply Chain Habits: Translating Ethical Practices
Into Socially Responsible Supplier Selection And
Development Practices

This qualitative study examines the influence of individuals involved in sourcing
decisions to determine how corporate social responsibility practices in the
selection and development of suppliers are transformed. Based on the relationship
between the neuroscience of routine decisions (habits) and the established views
of moral development, triggers of critical reflection regarding current policies are
investigated to identify the drivers which alter existing supplier relationships. As
individual morality is judged along cultural norms, the establishment and change
of corporate patterns is seen as an extension of an individual’s development and
alteration of existing habits.
2 - On Sustainability Reporting: Increasing Role Of Global
Reporting Initiative?

This is the continuation of the work of the same authors about standards and
initiatives in sustainability and corporate social responsibility reporting. Many
businesses around the world follow the Global Reporting Initiative, but at
different levels and not necessarily incorporate what the stakeholders desire to
see. This study evaluates the case of aerospace and defense companies.
3 - Climate Change Initiatives In Supply Chains

There is ample literature about regional, nationwide, and international efforts in
establishing mechanisms to curb pollution and emissions. In this study, we first
review a variety of these policy instruments, with a focus on emissions trading
systems, and then propose a model in the presence of uncertain demand. To do
so, through a static game we investigate a multi-pollutant framework in which a
number of entities compete in their product markets.
4 - Environmental Benefits Of Individually Optimized Electric Vehicle
Battery Range

Previous studies evaluating the environmental impacts of electric vehicles (EV)
often assume that all the adopters will choose the same EV, neglecting the
heterogeneity of individual decisions considering individual travel needs and
access to charging infrastructure.This study develops optimization models to
identify the optimal EV battery range at the individual level using real world
vehicle travel data and charging station location information. This study includes
both a static analysis, which optimizes with current and historical data, and a
dynamic analysis, which considers the uncertainties in individual travel pattern
change and the further development of charging infrastructure.

1 - Stakeholders’ Influence On Mergers And Acquisitions: The
Analysis Of The Impact On Acquisition Premium And Deal
Completion Probability
JaSeung Koo, Assistant Professor, Kobe International University,
9-1-6 Koyocho-naka, Higashinada-ku, Kobe, 658-0032, Japan,
There is extensive management literature on stakeholders’ influence on corporate
business operations, yet there is little known about whether and how
stakeholders influence M&A progress. This study focuses on three types of
primary stakeholders: employees, shareholders, and lenders, and examined their
influence on the likelihood of completing an announced M&A and acquisition
premiums. I explored stakeholders’ reactions, which reflect their anticipation of
benefits and losses from the proposed M&A with an empirical analysis of
longitudinal data for listed Japanese non-financial firms’ M&As between 1986
and 2012. The results showed general support for the proposed hypotheses.
2 - The Relationship Between Deep Level Diversity And Team
Benefits: A Mixed Method from China

By using a mix-method, this paper aims to explore the dynamics of deep-level
diversity in heterogeneous teams. First, we use an exploratory multi-case study to
identify the influential factors of team diversity and team outcomes. Through
interviews of 12 innovation teams in 6 international corporations, this study
explores the impact mechanism of personality diversity and culture diversity on
team process and team outcomes. Secondly, based on a dataset of 209
questionnaires, we testify the mediating role of team conflict and the moderating
role of personality diversity and culture diversity in teams.
3 - New Perspectives on Contingent Workers

In a fast changing business environment, firms rely on contingent workers to
achieve flexibility. We found that contingent workers with high trust and various
backgrounds engage with more voice behaviors than regular workers, bringing
new perspectives to the organization as strength of weak tie theory suggests. With
panel-data collected biennially from 41,740 contingent workers in 355 different
organizations from 2005 to 2013, we conducted cluster analysis, dividing them
into four categories: high trust, different backgrounds, high fatigue and perception
of competitive organizational culture. We suggest firms first need to build trust
with them to make the most of their knowledge.
