Manufacturing firms often employ a blend of approaches to develop business-to-business (B2B) platforms, leading to significant reconfigurations in their BMs. However, they frequently encounter failures in their B2B platform development initiatives, leading them to abandon initial efforts and pivot to alternative platform strategies. Therefore, this study, through an in-depth case study of a manufacturer in the energy sector, articulates a three-phase pivoting framework for B2B platform BMs, including platform development and platform strategy. Initially, the manufacturer focused on asset-based product sales supplemented by asset maintenance services and followed an emergent platformization strategy characterized by the rise of multiple, independent B2B platforms catering to diverse functions. Next, focusing on the imposed customer journey strategy, the firm shifted towards a strategic multi-platform integration into an all-encompassing platform supported by artificial intelligence (AI), signaling a maturation of the platform BM to combine a wide range of services into an energy-performance-based contract. Finally, the last step of the firm's platform BM evolution consisted of a deliberate platform strategy open to external stakeholders and enveloping its data-driven offerings within a broader platform ecosystem. This article advances B2B platform BMs and digital servitization literature, highlighting the efficacy of a progressive approach and strategic pivoting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"280 ","pages":"Article 109466"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a new personalized content-based method to comprehend customers’ preferences in an online retailer based on customers’ previous clicks and purchases and attributes of the products. We represent each product with an attribute vector that consists of all attributes of a product, e.g. color and brand. Then, for each customer, a score is assigned to each attribute vector based on the customer’s previous preferences, representing his/her interest in that combination of attributes. We test the method using data provided by an apparel retailer. Our method outperforms benchmark methods (including Collaborative Filtering) in predicting customers’ preferences (i.e. clicks and purchases) in general, and it has a strictly better performance in predicting customers’ preferences over new products. Also, our method outperforms benchmark methods with a high margin in predicting the preferences of customers who are not generally interested in popular products. Finally, we implement a hybrid method consisting of all implemented methods named the Smart Selection. This method outperforms all methods in predicting clicks and purchases with a high margin. This shows that our method provides a complementary approach for Collaborative Filtering by successfully addressing the limitations of commonly used methods.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"280 ","pages":"Article 109487"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143138121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

EV battery recycling has emerged as a critical area of focus due to its profound implications for sustainable performance. The European Union's Regulation Concerning Batteries and Waste Batteries (EU) 2023/154, introduced in September 2023, further underscores the importance of EV battery recycling for sustainability. Businesses are progressively embracing innovative recycling strategies to meet evolving regulations and advance sustainability objectives. However, despite growing interest, existing research on EV battery recycling remains fragmented and lacks a cohesive, systematic framework to guide advancements in this field. To bridge this gap, this paper conducts a systematic review of the literature, analysing 148 articles sourced from Scopus and Web of Science. The analysis reveals that government policies are the primary drivers (antecedents) of EV battery recycling efforts. Recycling processes involve diverse methodologies, stakeholder collaborations, and innovative business models, which collectively yield significant environmental and economic benefits (consequences). However, these processes also face challenges that require interdisciplinary and multi-stakeholder approaches. This paper proposes several future research directions to enhance the sustainability of EV battery recycling. These include expanding the scope of studies to incorporate diverse contexts and advanced theoretical frameworks; evaluating the effectiveness of various policy interventions; exploring innovative strategies to optimize recycling processes; and rigorously assessing their environmental and economic viability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Production Economics","volume":"282 ","pages":"Article 109551"},"PeriodicalIF":9.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143348419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Additive manufacturing is one innovation that could prove pivotal in the automotive spare parts supply chain. On-demand production, enabled by additive manufacturing, could lead to significant cost savings by reducing inventory. The complex structure of the automotive supply chain offers many opportunities for the positioning of additive manufacturing and realizing the potential for production closer to the point of use. While several scenarios for the positioning of additive manufacturing have been proposed in the literature, there is a lack of empirical research and case studies evaluating the practicality of the scenarios. An embedded single case study was conducted with eight key informants from the automotive industry to extend the theory and examine the feasibility of the scenarios from the literature in practice. The findings suggest the implementation of additive manufacturing in a regional distribution center or outsourcing to additive manufacturing service providers. Both scenarios have shortcomings that are of practical importance. Implementing additive manufacturing in various regional distribution centers would require greater investment by the original equipment manufacturer while outsourcing to additive manufacturing service providers would entail costly certification procedures. With this in mind, a two-stage implementation scenario was developed and validated. This scenario proposes the production of spare parts in a regional distribution center or at an additive manufacturing service provider, depending on the complexity of the manufacturing process.

Third, industrial symbiosis could improve the downstream manufacturer's abatement level under moderate regulations and increase its emissions reduction amount under stringent regulations.

Motivated by the real-world practice, our paper studies the cooperation and competition strategy with 3PSs from the perspective of an etailer. Specifically, our paper extends the prior literature from two aspects: (1) we look into the scenario where the 3PS serves as the supplier such that a co-opetition case emerges; (2) we compare the cases with exogenous and endogenous wholesale prices. Benchmarked by a standard two-channel structure, we find that, when the 3PS plays a dual role (i.e., a supplier and a marketplace seller), co-opetition is more preferred as the 3PS is better off when the etailer opens a competing, self-operated store, suggesting a more nuanced relationship between the etailer’s platform and 3PSs.

This study aims to address these knowledge gaps, motivated by data from interviews, by using optimization models to analyze food suppliers’ investments in PT amid varying market prices, transportation costs, and deterioration rates. Our findings identify specific conditions that drive PT investment, including scenarios where deterioration rates and market prices fall within certain ranges, and where low transportation costs align with high or moderate market prices. Moreover, government interventions can support PT investment by improving these conditions, though their effectiveness may be limited if suppliers lack access to affordable low-carbon PTs or face high costs. We also identify a breakeven point for social welfare, showing that excessive taxation can significantly reduce welfare. This study introduces a novel framework that integrates multiple elements to offer a deeper understanding of the motivations behind suppliers' investment decisions. It seeks to align supplier incentives with the goals of sustainable food supply chains, thereby fostering more effective policy strategies for tackling food waste.
