It delineates meta-requirements and design principles that address both the transformative potential of GenAI, and the unique challenges faced by the fashion sector. To validate the practicality of the proposed design theory, a prototype system was developed and evaluated with feedback from 30 experienced fashion practitioners, confirming its feasibility and effectiveness. Insights from case studies conducted with two Hong Kong-based fashion companies further highlight the benefits and challenges of integrating GenAI into fashion design. While GenAI demonstrates promise in enhancing communication, accelerating design processes, and improving customer engagement and satisfaction, key challenges remain, including the need for high-quality datasets, significant computational resources, and ethical considerations related to AI-generated designs. The design principles derived from this study provide a structured guideline for system designers, offering a practical framework for developing GenAI systems that cater to the specific needs of the fashion industry. By contributing both theoretical and practical insights, this study advances understanding of how GenAI can drive innovation in fashion design and lays a foundation for future research in this domain.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1320-1333"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143845402","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}

To address the issue, we incorporate in-store service into a game-theoretic model to explore the price competition between a B&M retailer and an e-tailer in the presence of CSB. Based on capturing the heterogeneity in consumer perceptions of product valuation and in-store service, we analyze the price and service strategies of the retailers in different time spans. Our results show that CSB may lead to profit declines for both B&M retailer and e-tailer. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the nondigital attributes of products are strongly tied to in-store service strategies aimed at alleviating CSB. Specifically, the B&M retailer selling low nondigital-attribute product should provide low-level in-store service to mitigate CSB, whereas those selling high nondigital-attribute product should provide high-level in-store service. Moreover, our results indicate that the B&M retailer does not always counter CSB due to in-store service cost. When the service cost or travel cost is low, the B&M retailer is more likely to embrace CSB. Interestingly, when CSB intensity is low, the B&M retailer is more willing to counter CSB. Finally, a counterintuitive but interesting result shows that the price matching strategy of the B&M retailer does not always guarantee a consistent improvement in its profit.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1178-1194"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143830436","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}

Additionally, we examine how intrinsic and extrinsic outcome expectations moderate these relationships. To test our hypotheses, we gathered longitudinal data over two-and-a-half years from a diverse sample of 198 undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in a practice-based entrepreneurship training program. This extended data collection allowed us to capture variations across different cohorts of participants and temporal contexts.

In order to better explain the paths and ways of the effects of PIPs on patent quality, this article also considers the mediating role of firms' ambidextrous R&D behaviors. It is divided into exploration and exploitation of R&D behaviors by technology boundaries. The research results show that PCPs and PUPs each have different effects on ambidextrous R&D behavior and patent quality, and there is even the possibility of negative effects. The higher the magnitude and balance of synergy between the two types of PIPs, the more they can promote patent quality improvement. In addition, the magnitude and balance between the two types of PIPs synergy have different effects on ambidextrous R&D behavior.

In this article, we investigate how AI adoption influences innovation performance via two distinct pathways: explicit and tacit knowledge sharing. Drawing on the absorptive capacity theory, the study further examines how a firm's ability to assimilate and apply knowledge moderates these relationships. Based on the survey data from 290 Chinese manufacturing firms and analyzed using structural equation modeling, the findings reveal that AI facilitates both types of knowledge sharing, yet only the link between tacit knowledge sharing and innovation is significantly strengthened by higher absorptive capacity. The study contributes to engineering management literature by unpacking the dual-role mechanism of AI in knowledge-driven innovation and highlighting the critical boundary condition of absorptive capacity. For practitioners, it offers strategic insights into how AI tools and absorptive capacity can be codeveloped to unlock innovation potential. These findings highlight the need for tailored AI adoption and robust knowledge-sharing mechanisms, supported by absorptive capacity, to drive sustained innovation outcomes.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"2137-2149"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144219606","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 study examines the interplay of multiple factors—enterprise informatization, digital infrastructure, e-commerce, technological investment, innovation, hardware, and software—across four key themes: digital readiness and technological integration, market and economic enablers, innovation capacity and activity, and foundational artifacts and resources. Using data from 31 provinces in China from 2015 to 2022, this study employs fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis to uncover pathways to regional profit growth. The study identifies five distinct configurations contributing to profit growth across China's provinces. In most configurations, e-commerce and technological investment emerge as central drivers. However, in less developed regions, profit growth relies more on improvements in digital infrastructure and hardware, with innovation and enterprise informatization playing a less significant role. The findings also reveal that profit growth requires addressing the weakest elements in the ecosystem—whether digital infrastructure, technological capabilities, or other factors. Strategies tailored to regional conditions must prioritize improving these weaker components to achieve sustained growth, as ignoring them can limit the overall success.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1730-1744"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143925063","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}

Findings show that the multidimensional supply chain flexibility (comprising supplier flexibility, internal flexibility, and customer flexibility) has a positive and significant relationship with supply chain resilience. In addition, supply chain endurance is instrumental in enabling supply chain flexibility to attain supply chain resilience. Furthermore, the moderating effect of environmental uncertainty is supported. The findings are also validated through a robustness test. This study is the first to consider supply chain endurance as a mediator between supply chain flexibility and supply chain resilience.

Blockchain technology, increasingly adopted in sectors, such as fashion and automotive, supports these methods by addressing key challenges. However, the optimal adoption mode—government, manufacturer, or retailer—remains unclear. In this article, we integrate blockchain's three benefits (reduced DER cost, lower transaction cost in emissions trading, and enhanced green trust) and its three costs (setup cost, operational cost, and usage fee) to compare these modes based on the LCSC's sustainability, profitability, and social welfare. Key findings are as follows. First, blockchain adoption typically boosts sustainability and profitability, although two tradeoffs require careful consideration. Second, retailer adoption outperforms the other modes by significantly enhancing sustainability, maximizing blockchain user profits, and achieving the highest social welfare outcomes. The retailer's profit can also be maximized if the setup cost coefficient and total carbon footprint level are sufficiently low. Another advantage of this mode lies in the flexibility of usage fee. Third, the impact of blockchain adoption varies across supply chains with different carbon footprint levels. These results remain robust in extension with risk considerations. This study provides valuable managerial insights, including guidance for LCSC on selecting the optimal blockchain adoption mode, and recommendations for policymakers to address the lack of economic incentives in low-emission supply chains and reduce the overreliance on indirect offset in high-emission ones.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1559-1575"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896249","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}
