It focuses on a domestic manufacturer competing with a foreign competitor to maximize retail market gains, with options for financing including banks, bonds, and crowdfunding. Game-theoretic models are used to explore participants’ behavior in the supply chain, considering three power structures: a Nash game and two Stackelberg games with alternating leadership. Results reveal that domestic manufacturers prefer financing options with flexible interest rates, such as crowdfunding, or low-interest alternatives such as bonds, when facing rising production costs or reduced competitiveness (when the foreign manufacturer holds a leader position). This preference impacts retailers, potentially leading to reduced product prices, benefiting retailers. Also, increasing initial capital prompts the domestic manufacturer to prefer bank methods. Interestingly, a higher budget and quality do not always guarantee higher profitability and can result in additional costs (for instance, in Nash game structure), depending on power structure type and market size. Furthermore, with increased price sensitivity, crowdfunding becomes less viable, leading to a preference for bank and bond financing. This can conflict with retailers’ optimal financial choices, highlighting the complexity of financial decisions in supply chains and their crucial role in global competition.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"14525-14542"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142320479","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 important to investigate the development trends of sustainable battery technologies by forecasting technological convergence concerning these three aspects. However, no lithium-based battery-related studies have analyzed the fusion of technologies regarding multiple aspects. In this article, we proposed a multiplex network to identify the sustainable convergence of lithium-based battery technologies. We utilized the patents filed at the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The proposed multiplex network consists of three layers representing co-occurrence networks of international patent classification codes for storage, safety, and recycling technologies of batteries, respectively. Specifically, we focused on the technological convergence of the lithium-ion battery, the most influential energy storage solution for electronic products, and the lithium-based solid-state battery, which can be applied to recently emerging robust safety and energy-intensive products. The result of the article suggests future battery technology areas that consider three aspects. This article is expected to contribute to presenting guidelines for sustainable technology development to stakeholders in the complexly characterized battery industry.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"14365-14374"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142172636","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}

For the capital-constrained and emission-dependent engineering machinery remanufacturer, since both remanufacturing and carbon emission reduction (CER) require huge investment, the situation exists where CAPF cannot completely solve the enterprise's shortage of funds. Therefore, this article proposes a hybrid carbon asset pledge financing (HCAPF) model that combines CAPF and bank loan financing, and introduces the HCAPF into production operations of remanufacturing, investigating the emission-dependent remanufacturer's production and CER decisions under HCAPF. The results show that: 1) A higher carbon asset pledge rate will help reduce the environmental impact and improve the output and profits of remanufacturers under HCAPF. However, whether the emission price volatility is conducive to production and reducing environmental impact depend on the threshold of the CER rate. 2) Under HCAPF, implementing CER under different remanufacturing strategies has different influences on the quantity of products. Besides, the CER is not always beneficial for the environment and whether an increasing CER rate can increase the remanufacturer's profit is determined by the emission advantage of remanufactured products. 3) The remanufacturing strategy has different impacts on the operation of remanufacturers under HCAPF. For the remanufacturer with/without CER, the complete remanufacturing strategy is more beneficial for increasing profits.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"14228-14242"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142143779","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 a multinomial logit model, we propose a two-sided market framework for investigating the pricing decisions of a CDP with two differentiated service levels under a general variable commission scheme and a fixed-rate commission scheme. The results show that 1) the two-sided pricing mechanism (price and wage decisions) allows the supply to match the demand for different service levels, except when the CDP adopts a fixed-rate commission scheme; and 2) depending on the magnitude of the fixed commission rate, adopting a fixed-rate commission scheme has different impacts on the equilibrium outcomes. We also extend our model by including the commission scheme and multiple service levels. The results show that 1) the CDP can achieve a higher optimal profit under the courier classification scheme than under a benchmark variable commission scheme, and 2) offering senders and couriers diversified service levels benefits the CDP. This article provides CDP practitioners with a quantitative tool for pricing for service-level menus.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"14350-14364"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142173992","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}

Understanding the barriers and enablers that influence the success of academic institution-based CE ventures (CEV) is of paramount importance. This article investigates the barriers and enablers of academic institution-based CEV using a mixed-methods approach. Drawing on resource dependence theory, sociotechnical systems theory, resource-based view, and social capital theory, the study explores the complex interactions between academic institutions and their surrounding communities, focusing on the establishment and success of CEV. The study employs fuzzy “analytic hierarchy process” and fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory methodologies to prioritize and identify the interrelationships among the identified barriers and enablers. The findings reveal that among the main categories of collaboration, infrastructure, and networking barriers (causal barriers), and among the subcategories of barriers, insufficient networking opportunities (causal barriers) are the top barriers. To mitigate these barriers, technology-based enablers (causal enablers) are the top enablers. Policymakers and educational institutions can use the findings to design and implement effective support systems that foster an entrepreneurial culture that promotes sustainable community development and economic growth.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"71 ","pages":"15209-15223"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142595097","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}
