Despite their significance, existing research has not adequately captured the intricate dynamics of GICNs, particularly from an evolutionary perspective. This study seeks to fill this gap by employing a holistic approach to analyze the complexity and evolutionary characteristics of a representative CoPS industry, across macronetwork, meso-module, and micromotif levels. Utilizing global patent data from 2001 to 2020 pertaining to chip manufacturing, our analysis identifies distinct collaborative patterns across the macro, meso, and micro levels within GICNs. At the macro level, there is a discernible shift towards a distributed structure, epitomized by a “big center, multicenters, decentralization” trend. The meso level exhibits a progression towards a “loosely coupled” configuration of technical submodules, reflecting a specialized division of labor. Notably, the micro level demonstrates a significant centralization in collaborative innovation, with enterprises playing a pivotal role. This investigation provides an exhaustive empirical examination of GICNs within the CoPS industry and offers novel insights into the evolution of such networks. Furthermore, it furnishes actionable recommendations for policymakers and engineering managers seeking to navigate the complexities of CoPS innovation, thus providing a strategic roadmap for collaboration and innovation management.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1039-1051"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143706680","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}

Although optimizing models do allow the user to find both the optimal and other solutions through sensitivity analysis, they tend to exclude portfolios that might be more desirable because of a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria. For all practical purposes, these methods do not consider the entire set of <italic>possible</i> portfolios, which could be or is assumed to be large. These possible portfolios consist of two groups: those that are not feasible because of mutually exclusive relationships between projects and those that are feasible. Our focus in this article is to identify all feasible portfolios such that the resulting set does not include any portfolio that contains projects with mutually exclusive relationships. We deploy a compatibility matrix that incorporates both the complex interactions and the extent to which projects are mutually exclusive or mutually complementary. We then generate a complete and inclusive set of project portfolio scenarios in which no single portfolio contains mutually exclusive projects. The resulting set generally has a manageable number of project portfolios. We then analyze the complete spectrum of project interactions with mutual exclusivity at one end, complete complementarity at the other, and project independence at the midpoint. Our deceptively simple method can stand alone or be used in conjunction with almost any of the existing methods. This article describes our innovative conceptual framework, which we believe could exert broad influence over managerial practice.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1154-1162"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143800779","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}

Achieving carbon neutrality is critical, and in the digital economy, technology-driven business models are essential for reducing carbon emissions through effective carbon emission trading systems. However, current research on carbon emission trading suffers from inadequate privacy protection, low efficiency in data sharing and model construction, as well as insufficient capabilities in automated and autonomous model building. Therefore, this study focuses on utilizing blockchain and automated machine learning for data sharing and modeling to enhance carbon neutrality. First, we design the architecture of the system and the mechanism for storing data on the blockchain. We then devise methods for storing and trading carbon emission transactions on the blockchain and construct the process for issuing carbon credits. In addition, our proposed method incorporates neural architecture search to develop a carbon trading price forecasting model. By leveraging data augmentation for carbon emission price time series and utilizing triplet loss for model training, we enhance the reliability and security of carbon trading investment through accurate price forecasting. The experimental results further demonstrate the robust performance and precision of our carbon emission price forecasting module. Consequently, our approach provides efficient carbon emission trading services to businesses and individuals, offering a robust solution for global carbon emission reduction and the achievement of carbon neutrality.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1117-1139"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143800781","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}

We delve into the existence, antecedents, and consequences of sticky IT investment behavior, an understudied managerial deliberate resource commitment decision in response to changes in sales. Guided by downsizing theory, we initially theorize and find that IT investments exhibit stickiness: IT investments move downward less for sales decreases than they move upward for equivalent increases. Then drawing upon agency theory, adjustment costs theory, and managerial expectations theory—which influence managers’ motivation for downsizing—we predict and demonstrate that managers’ empire-building incentives, their avoidance of adjustment costs, and their optimism regarding future sales strengthen their engagement in sticky IT investments. Furthermore, we introduce and operationalize three novel measures of firm-specific IT investment stickiness that reflect slack IT resources during sales downturns, respectively, capturing the influence of empire-building incentives, adjustment costs, and managerial optimism. Built on these measures, we uncover that the degree of stickiness in a firm's IT investments offers additional insights into predicting future performance, growth in future IT labor, and growth in future sales. Overall, our work formulates an integrative conceptual framework for understanding sticky IT investment that incorporates the presence and antecedents of managers’ asymmetric IT investment decisions, as well as the implications of firm-specific sticky IT investment for forecasting future corporate outcomes. We discuss these findings and their practical and theoretical implications in detail.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1010-1026"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698224","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}

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}

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.

Some projects in the construction program might face forbidden time window constraints (e.g., periodic typhoon season), thereby influencing client's overall schedule. The construction program with forbidden time windows significantly challenges the traditional scheduling methods. To solve this problem, a two-phase scheduling framework is proposed. Before the construction program execution, a predictive scheduling method is used to generate an optimal baseline schedule. From the client perspective, each project of the construction program is considered as a node in the schedule network. During the execution, a reactive scheduling method is applied to adjust the baseline schedule when deviations occur. To validate the method, numerical experiments are conducted for a real-life case of a large water conservancy construction program. The results show that the peak demand of self-producing resource and the production system investment cost is reduced by 9.09% and 9.05%, respectively, compared with the critical path method. The framework provides clients with an effective tool for scheduling programs with forbidden time windows.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"842-854"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698287","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}

Therefore, it is critical to understand the mediating and moderating roles of these factors to ensure that contract flexibility has a positive impact. This article constructs a parallel and contradictory mediation model and identifies the boundary conditions from intraorganizational, interorganizational, and institutional levels. Data were collected from 272 Chinese construction projects and analyzed using structural equation model techniques. The results indicate that contract flexibility has a double-edged sword effect on contractors’ opportunistic behavior. Dynamic capabilities and the strength of auditing can intensify the relationship between contract flexibility and cooperative intentions or conflict, potentially stimulating the contractors’ opportunistic behaviors. Interorganizational trust enhances the supportive role of contract flexibility in cooperative intentions, but it also exacerbates conflicts and triggers contractors’ opportunistic behavior. This research enriches the existing body of knowledge on contract reference point theory by revealing the hidden mechanisms between contract and behavior. It explores the double-edged sword effect of contract flexibility within multilevel contextual frameworks, clarifying its boundary conditions.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"987-999"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698286","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}
