There is an urgent need for innovative management strategies and optimization solutions. Against this background, we investigate the optimization problems in electricity markets. We focus on the interactions among distribution network operators, microgrid operators, and prosumers and develop a trilevel optimization framework. This framework models the complex processes of electricity price setting, risk management, and prosumer participation to maximize profitability and operational efficiency. To solve this complex model efficiently, we propose a customized exact algorithm. It is based on the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker conditions and the L-shaped algorithm. Extensive computational experiments prove the effectiveness of the algorithm. We conduct sensitivity analyses on the electricity market operations, and the results provide valuable management insights for electricity markets. Our findings indicate that microgrid operators should prioritize flexible energy storage capacities and adaptable pricing mechanisms to effectively manage peak demand, especially during periods with high renewable generation.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"888-906"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when these employees perceive themselves as overqualified for their current roles, this untapped potential can lead to divergent outcomes: serving as a catalyst for innovation or resulting in job dissatisfaction. This study examines the impact of perceived overqualification (POQ) on the innovative behavior of high-tech personnel by analyzing data from 374 professionals across technology firms in Taiwan and Thailand. Our findings indicate that while POQ can enhance innovative performance, its effectiveness is significantly influenced by the type of motivation and the level of technological uncertainty. Specifically, extrinsic motivation tends to dampen the innovative potential of overqualified employees, whereas intrinsic motivation amplifies it. The innovative capacity of overqualified employees is fully realized when their intrinsic motivation is high, particularly in environments characterized by significant technological uncertainty. Drawing on self-determination theory and cognitive evaluation theory, this study offers strategies for organizations to leverage the innovative capacity of overqualified employees. These strategies are vital in dynamic technological landscapes, where boosting intrinsic motivation can turn overqualification from a liability into a strategic asset for sustained innovation and competitive advantage.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"952-965"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on the resource-based view, we examine the relationships among GenAI's creational affordances, customer orientation, customization, and market performance. Using survey data from 196 information technology (IT) firms in mainland China, we reveal that both product and service customization significantly mediate the positive relationship between GenAI's creational affordances and market performance. Furthermore, customer orientation merely enhances the mediation effect of service customization, underscoring its critical role in maximizing the strategic benefits of GenAI. We contribute to existing technology-driven operations management research by emphasizing the moderated mediation mechanism in the relationship between GenAI's creational affordances and market performance.

This approach facilitates complementary value creation. However, small- to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) encounter significant challenges within such ecosystems due to their limited size and limited resources. This article contributes to the extant studies on knowledge ecosystems by investigating how collaborations within these ecosystems enable SMEs to both explore and exploit knowledge, enhancing their innovation capabilities. Drawing on empirical data from 33 semistructured interviews and two focus groups involving multiple stakeholders (18 SMEs, 1 large firm, and 14 intermediary firms) from a knowledge ecosystem in Ostrobothnia, Finland, this article finds that knowledge cocreation through collaboration significantly improves SMEs’ technological and collaborative capabilities, leading to growth and market expansion. Intermediary firms play a dual role, going beyond knowledge brokering by providing capacity-building support that helps SMEs better contextualize and utilize external knowledge. This article advances both theoretical and practical understanding by demonstrating how intermediary firms function not only as facilitators but also as active capacity builders in the knowledge exploitation process. This nuanced understanding contributes to the ongoing discourse on ecosystem dynamics and SME innovation. From a practical perspective, SMEs should leverage core partners and intermediaries to address their inherent resource constraints and drive innovation performance. This approach enables them to expand their networks, codevelop technological solutions, and potentially secure future funding.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"604-618"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, existing literature offers limited insight into how AI facilitates innovation within new energy enterprises. Using data from 145 Chinese A-share listed companies from 2011 to 2022, this study employs a staggered difference-in-differences model to investigate the impact of intelligent transformation on technological innovation in new energy enterprises. The results show that: 1) Intelligent transformation significantly drives technological innovation in new energy enterprises, with digital financial development and the presence of senior executives with information technology backgrounds serving as positive moderating factors; 2) Attracting government subsidies, improving internal control quality, and promoting human capital upgrades serve as critical channels through which intelligent transformation in new energy enterprises generates innovation incentive effects; and 3) Intelligent transformation generates adverse spatial spillover effects on the technological innovation of neighboring enterprises, mainly through the siphoning of innovation resources. Neighboring new energy enterprises within the same subindustry face stronger negative spillovers, while enterprises with greater market power are less affected. These insights inform targeted policy recommendations to address these dynamics.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"703-716"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article discusses an improved approach for estimating partial productivity—the additional amount of output that can be produced by increasing a specific input by one unit. The measure is given by the ratio of the shadow price of an input to the shadow price of an output. The proposed model provides a robust estimate while avoiding zero-valued shadow prices that commonly arise due to 1) the specification of multiple inputs and multiple outputs (which may result in slack) and 2) the multiple optimal solutions that may occur in linear programing. We illustrate our model using data on Chinese provincial hospitals, offering evidence on the evolution of hospitals’ partial productivities over the period 2009–2022. The results reveal significant disparities of the partial productivities of each input across provinces and regions. The new insights available from our model have clear policy implications for decision makers, guiding them on how to improve resource allocation that would reduce costs and allow health care to be expanded.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"558-572"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the considerable academic attention they have received, gaps in the discourse still persist. These include a lack of consistent understanding of what constitutes a CA within and across (emerging) subtypes and how they operate and can be configured to achieve specific outcomes. As a result, the precise operational and strategic logic of CAs remains unclear and fragmented, complicating theory development, empirical testing, and practical implementation. To address these shortcomings, we employ a context, interventions, mechanisms, outcomes (CIMO) logic rooted in the realist tradition to both systematically organize and synthesize existing findings. Specifically, this article advances the discourse on CAs by clarifying their conceptualization and operation within and across subtypes. Additionally, it links specific interventions and mechanisms to outcomes through generalizable propositions. The resulting framework offers theoretical insights for configuring CAs to fulfill specific strategic roles in various organizational settings, with implications for their effective use and paving the way for future empirical testing and performance evaluation.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"784-799"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143667620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, stakeholder resilience is analyzed in two dimensions, namely, stakeholder issue vulnerabilities and stakeholder capabilities, and the evolutions of these dimensions are considered. Afterward, a stakeholder resilience map (including four resilient zones: dangerous, challenging, vigilant, and safe) is developed and validated using the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge (HZMB) project. The critical stakeholder issue vulnerabilities and stakeholder capability limitations in relationship management at each project phase of megaprojects are also identified. This study provides an evidence-based practical approach to evaluate stakeholder resilience in relationship management in megaprojects.
