The global thin film transistor-liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) manufacturers concentrate in Korea, Japan and Taiwan. In view of growing rapidly of demand in the world, the competition of TFT-LCD manufacturers has been a fierce phenomenon. The most important subject for every TFT-LCD manufacturer administrator is how to make the best disposition of resources and create more and more profits. T...

Many consumers are keenly aware of gasoline prices, and consumer responses to gasoline prices have been well studied. In this paper, by contrast, we investigate how gasoline prices affect the automobile industry: manufacturers and dealerships. We estimate how changes in gasoline prices affect equilibrium prices and sales of both new and used vehicles of different fuel economies. We investigate ...

We develop a consumer-level model of vehicle choice to shed light on the erosion of the U.S. automobile manufacturers’ market share during the past decade. We examine the influence of vehicle attributes, brand loyalty, product line characteristics, and dealerships. We find that nearly all of the loss in market share for U.S. manufacturers can be explained by changes in basic vehicle attributes,...

Data storage devices are getting smarter. Smart flash storage devices (a.k.a. Smart SSDs) are on the horizon and package a small programmable computer inside the device. Thus, users can run code closer to the data right inside the SSD, on the “other” side of the I/O bus. The focus of this paper is on exploring the opportunities and challenges associated with exploiting this functionality of Sma...

Copyright: © 2017 INFORMS Abstract. Competing technologies in emerging industries create uncertainties that discourage supplier investments. Open technology can induce supplier investments, but may also lead to intensified future competition. In this paper, we study competing manufacturers’ open-technology strategies. We show that despite the risk of intensifying future competition, open techno...

Manufacturers of safety-critical systems must make the case that their product is sufficiently safe for public deployment. Much of this case often relies upon critical event outcomes from real-world testing, requiring manufacturers to be strategic about how they allocate testing resources in order to maximize their chances of demonstrating system safety. This work frames the partially observabl...

Contract manufacturers always complain the accuracy of forecasts given by brand customers. This fact induces manufacturers’ burden on preparing extra materials and reserving extra capacities. To ensure profits, contract manufacturers have to add extra number on quotations. It makes the relations between brand customers and contract manufacturers even more brittle. Therefore, well-organized comm...
