Drawing on the knowledge sharing perspective, we consider a positive association between common analysts and supplier operational efficiency. Using 20,359 buyer–supplier dyads collected from <i>Compustat</i> during the period 1994 to 2017, we empirically find that the existence of common analysts significantly enhances suppliers' operational efficiencies. Additionally, the positive association is amplified when the supplier's bargaining power is lower or the buyer's demand uncertainty is higher. We further examine the underlying mechanisms through which common analysts improve supplier operational efficiency by showing that common analysts transmit buyer-related information to suppliers via both private and public channels and help suppliers reduce bullwhip effects. Finally, compared with other relational ties, common analysts uniquely mitigate suppliers' bullwhip effects and, in turn, have a stronger positive impact on their operational efficiencies. Collectively, our evidence highlights the distinctive and important role of common analysts in transferring operational information along supply chains and improving supply base outcomes.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operations Management","volume":"72 6","pages":"788-809"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904240","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}

A central reason is a shift in where agency resides. Angelopoulos et al. (&lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;) describe this as agency reversal: technologies increasingly make operational decisions once reserved for humans. This shift reflects a broader change in IS, where digital artifacts are no longer passive tools but agentic systems capable of initiating action and assuming responsibility under uncertainty (Baird and Maruping &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;). As agency moves from humans to technology, the basis of operational outcomes changes. Digital transformation therefore compels scholars to rethink how decisions become outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Explaining this shift requires disciplinary precision. In operations management (OM), outcomes are explained through processes (Holweg et al. &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;): performance emerges from how work is structured through allocation, inventory, queuing, and coordination decisions. In contrast, information systems (IS) research explains how decisions are generated, focusing on how digital systems represent information, structure decision logic, and mediate action (Hirschheim and Klein &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;). As digital technologies assume decision-making roles, these perspectives become increasingly interdependent but remain theoretically distinct.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This separation creates a fundamental gap. OM explains how processes generate outcomes, while IS explains how decisions are produced within digital systems, yet neither explains how technologically generated decisions are translated into operational performance. As a result, existing theories provide only partial accounts of digital transformation, leaving unresolved how digital decisions are enacted within operational systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Forum argues that digital transformation exposes boundary blind spots in both OM and IS. These blind spots arise because the two fields rely on different causal frames for explaining how digital technologies reshape operational work. OM provides the mechanisms necessary to explain how digitally generated decisions translate into operational outcomes. IS contributes critical insight into how digital systems structure decisions through architecture, governance, and design, while OM brings deep expertise in process structure, interdependence, and performance (Hirschheim and Klein &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;; Holweg et al. &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;; Kumar et al. &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;; Agatz et al. &lt;span&gt;2025&lt;/span&gt;). Progress, therefore, depends on purposeful boundary work: transdisciplinary work and interdisciplinary collaboration that is mechanism-centered rather than improvised.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This Forum advances a mechanism-based theory of digital transformation that links digitally generated decisions to operational outcomes. We identify three recurring conceptual disconnections between OM and IS and develop five mechanism clusters that explain ho","PeriodicalId":51097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operations Management","volume":"72 6","pages":"776-787"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joom.70053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because SMEs frequently face severe credit frictions, short cash-to-cash cycles, and limited access to traditional operational buffers, timely and predictable financing can create financial slack that helps them absorb short-term disruptions. In RBL, repayment is tied to realized revenue, but the resilience benefits of this model depend on a stable and responsive supply of investor capital. Drawing on behavioral operations, investor psychology, and OM research on financial slack, we examine whether investor-directed digital nudges can increase investor engagement and, through more timely and reliable capital flows, strengthen SME operational resilience. Collaborating with a major RBL platform in Asia, we conduct a large-scale randomized field experiment in which investors are randomly assigned to one of five messages: (i) <i>cooperative</i> social-value message (ii) <i>competitive</i> social-value message, (iii) <i>precommitment</i> message designed to mitigate time-inconsistent preferences, (iv) <i>ease-and-convenience</i> message designed to reduce perceived cognitive costs, or a plain message control that accounts for attention effects. Our results show that the <i>ease-and-convenience-framed nudge</i> significantly increases investor engagement, leading to more timely and predictable funding aligned with SMEs' operational needs. These improved capital flows reduce delinquency and shorten payoff durations, suggesting that investor-side nudges can strengthen borrower resilience by creating financial slack that helps SMEs maintain operational continuity under cash-flow pressure. Our empirical evidence combines an investor-side online experiment, a borrower-side mechanism experiment, and semi-structured interviews with SME borrowers. Together, these analyses show that ease-and-convenience messaging is especially effective for long-tenured, risk-averse, institutionally affiliated, and urban-based investors, while borrower-side evidence suggests that financial slack is the most strongly supported borrower-side mechanism through which timely and predictable funding helps SMEs absorb short-term shocks, meet urgent operating obligations, and maintain repayment continuity. By documenting how investor-side nudges generate cross-side benefits for SME borrowers through financial slack and buffering, this study advances behavioral operations research on context-dependent nudging, extends OM work on platform-mediated resilience, and offers guidance for fintech platforms seeking to stabilize capital flows to vulnerable SMEs.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operations Management","volume":"72 6","pages":"810-830"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148904220","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}

We introduce HASTERAD (hierarchical attribute substitution tree estimation via recursive attribute discovery), which recovers a substitution tree from standard SKU–store–week scanner data. Leveraging variation in prices and promotions, HASTERAD compares attribute-based substitution patterns and then recursively partitions the product space to recover a candidate hierarchy of attribute-level substitution. Applied to the IRI Marketing Data Set, it recovers a stable and economically interpretable tree. To quantify its economic value, we execute a three-step optimization process on synthetic data with known ground truth: we recover a tree with HASTERAD, estimate demand parameters on that tree, and optimize assortments. HASTERAD's chosen assortments forgo less than 11% of the profit available to a clairvoyant planner, even in demanding settings where a traditional flat demand model forgoes almost 100%. Performance remains strong whether the method is applied to a multi-store panel, where stockouts are unobservable, or to a single store's internal records, where data are sparse but stockouts are observed. These findings are robust across several alternative specifications. Our central empirical finding concerns model selection. A tree chosen by best in-sample fit, from an exhaustive search over simple hierarchies, fits the observed sales nearly as well as HASTERAD's recovered tree, yet prescribes assortments whose expected profits are substantially lower. Fit evaluates observed purchases, but assortment optimization depends on predicting demand under assortments not yet observed.</p>","PeriodicalId":51097,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Operations Management","volume":"72 6","pages":"831-850"},"PeriodicalIF":10.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/joom.70058","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148903721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our study highlights the importance of considering how operations management phenomena are influenced by large institutional investors, and we identify both firm- and device-level pathways that moderate this influence.
