It evaluates the mean performance of system designs by simulation outputs and aims to identify the best system design from a set of alternatives by intelligently allocating a limited simulation budget. In R&S, the optimal computing budget allocation (OCBA) is an efficient budget allocation rule that asymptotically maximizes the probability of correct selection (PCS). In this paper, we first show the asymptotic OCBA rule can be recovered by considering a large-scale problem with a specific large budget. Considering a sufficiently large budget can greatly simplify computations, but it also causes the asymptotic OCBA rule ignoring the impact of budget. To address this, we then derive a budget-adaptive rule under the setting where budget is not large enough to simplify computations. The proposed budget-adaptive rule determines the ratio of total budget allocated to designs based on the budget size, and its budget-adaptive property highlights the significant impact of budget on allocation strategy. Based on the proposed budget-adaptive rule, two heuristic algorithms are developed. In the numerical experiments, the superior efficiency of our proposed allocation rule is shown.","PeriodicalId":55161,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Operational Research","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143877946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As multinational enterprises (MNEs) increasingly seek to absorb or transfer cutting-edge digital technologies from overseas, the recent escalation of geopolitical tensions has introduced substantial uncertainty into this process. Drawing from the techno-geopolitical uncertainty literature in general and the geographic relational view in particular, this study explores how Chinese MNEs are impacted by the rise of geopolitical tensions in their efforts to transform digitally. Our findings reveal that geopolitical tensions between home and host countries adversely impact the digital technology depth and breadth of the focal firm. Also, these relationships are reinforced by the firm's contextual feature – state ownership. Yet the foreign presence of these MNEs positively moderates the relationship between geopolitical tensions and digital technology depth, but the effect is not observed for digital technology breadth. Our exploration of the interrelationships between geopolitical tensions, digital technologies, and firm governance advances the literature and provides practical implications for policymakers and managers in the new era of geopolitics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48454,"journal":{"name":"Technological Forecasting and Social Change","volume":"216 ","pages":"Article 124147"},"PeriodicalIF":12.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the strategic responses of dominant agricultural input firms to the rise of biological solutions. Through qualitative textual analysis of press releases, company reports, and other public sources, we identify five key strategies followed by incumbents: portfolio expansion, marketing and distribution, technological complementarities, product development, and window of technology. These exploration strategies are pivotal in shaping the technological and market trajectories of sustainable innovations, particularly in a sector characterized by market concentration. While synergies exist between chemical and biological products, incumbents face challenges adapting to the distinct rationale of these products. This study offers practical insights for firms operating in this emerging market while underscoring how incumbents play a dual role in navigating adaptation challenges while influencing the scalability and commercialization of these emerging sustainable technologies.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143862174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
