Unfortunately, the knowledge of CQM is diverse in format and scattered in different stakeholders within the whole construction processes. Therefore, knowledge management (KM) of CQM is underinvestigated. To offering a comprehensive view of KM in CQM, this article employed a mixed review method to critically review 87 related articles. The results indicate 1) building information modeling, ontology, and natural language processing are identified as critical technologies in KM, 2) expert system and decision support, structural health monitoring, and project management are the major application domains. This article conducts an in-depth analysis of the literature based on the three phases of quality control: pre-construction, in-construction, and post-construction. The results are discussed to critically assess the critical technologies in KM. A framework is proposed to guide the effective implementation of KM in CQM, alongside a discussion of the current challenges and opportunities. The article further identifies potential development directions for KM in CQM, including total quality management, digital twins, development of large language models, construction of “No-cost” KM platforms, uniform evaluation and standardization mechanisms, tacit knowledge capture, and confidentiality and security. A novel paradigm for knowledge-driven quality management decision-making is first introduced. This article offers a comprehensive perspective on the application of KM in CQM, which will significantly enhance the effectiveness of CQM implementation in the future.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1069-1088"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143740267","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}

Owing to the technical complexity of these projects, persuasive elements can be found in features scattered across the project's textual description and video pitch. To date, existing research has systematically examined the influence of textual attributes, but the impact of auricular attributes and their joint persuasive effect is not yet clearly understood. To investigate these gaps, our study uses text and audio features extracted from a dataset of 3589 reward-based technology crowdfunding campaigns on Kickstarter. The results indicate that both text (brevity, readability, and sentiment) and audio (tone neutrality, audio contour, frequency, and harmonics) features of a campaign's message, positively influence crowdfunding outcomes. This influence is more pronounced when they are considered in conjunction. These results provide new theoretical insights for assessing persuasive message properties in a technology crowdfunding context. For entrepreneurs, the strength and delivery of the story put forward in technology crowdfunding are more noticeable when the joint effects of text and audio are considered.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"2049-2064"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144219608","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}

A total of 377 responses obtained from public employees through an electronic questionnaire were analyzed. In the first step of the mixed-methods research design, the proposed relationships were examined using structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), while additional insights into the necessary and sufficient internal and external digitalization conditions were obtained using importance-performance analysis and necessary condition analysis. The results indicate that certain external factors, such as the conditions needed for IT specialists or government clouds, and certain internal factors, such as institutions designing an appropriate IT component or assimilating innovative technologies, contribute more prominently to the digitalization processes. Postanalysis feedback from practitioners validated the quantitative results and provided additional practical relevance. Thus, from a practical perspective, the research suggests the need to develop appropriate legislative frameworks and organizational structures that encourage the digitalization of public administration. The study also offers a guide to the public sector, which will amplify the use of digital tools and technologies and further drive digitization within these institutions.

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}

In recent years, technological advances have made it possible for firms to use large amounts of available data to make decisions under demand-side information uncertainty. However, it remains unclear exactly how they can dynamically optimize bundling and pricing decisions by learning from uncertain consumer's valuations. To answer this question, in this article, we study the bundling and pricing decisions of a monopoly firm offering a basic product and a premium product over finite <italic>T</i> periods. We first analyze the equilibrium outcomes of pure component strategies and pure bundling strategies (PBSs) under deterministic consumer's valuations. We then introduce a learning-based bundling strategy (LBBS) framework to make decisions dynamically over time. It employs Thompson sampling to estimate the fractions of low-valuation consumers (LVCs) of two products, allowing the firm to adjust its decisions based on updated beliefs about consumer's valuation distributions. We demonstrate the robust performance of the LBBS and show the interesting findings. That is, the fraction of LVC of premium product, the ratio between high and low valuation of basic product, the ratio of low valuation and the ratio of high valuation of two products wield significant influence on the adoption of bundling strategy and its possibility. These findings offer practical guidance to firm's practitioners regarding when and which PBS to adopt and how to improve PBS decisions according to the fractions of LVC of products. We also extend the model to uniform distribution of consumer's valuations and correlated consumer's valuations to test our results.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"1970-1982"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144139951","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}

We construct a two-period model to investigate these strategies considering the sentiment ratio (i.e., consumers weigh more on negative reviews than positive ones). Our findings indicate that in the presence of online reviews, continuing to offer both versions benefits the seller, though discontinuing the previously introduced version may increase surplus for customers and society. We analytically derive the optimal launching strategies, and highlight the significance of the sentiment ratio, the quality and the quality-differentiated levels on the decision-making. Interestingly, the strategy of introducing the low-version followed by the high-version can be optimal under a low sentiment ratio. We also disclose the impact of online reviews on dynamic pricing. In addition, we reveal the conditions under which managers could maximize the value of online reviews. Finally, several extended cases are explored to verify the robustness of the main results.

Manufacturers operating in the B2B2C channel typically sign <italic>profit-margin-guarantee</i> (PMG) contracts requiring them to ensure minimum profit margins for the platform under specified conditions. While providing manufacturers with sales opportunities, this exacerbates the financial burden on small- and medium-sized manufacturers (SMEs) with limited capital. This article explores the optimal financing decisions and sales channel choices for manufacturers under the factoring financing (FF) model, where manufacturers sell their accounts receivable to a factor entity to alleviate liquidity constraints. We find: 1) The initial accounts receivable level significantly influences manufacturers’ sales channel choice—when accounts receivable are low, the B2B2C channel's PMG contracts may not be advantageous for manufacturers, but when they are high, dual-channel operations (B2C and B2B2C) may benefit the platform, although manufacturers’ gains might be limited. 2) Higher FF ratios do not consistently enhance manufacturers’ performance, as overreliance on financing can increase operational risks. 3) Although conventional wisdom suggests that manufacturers should lower wholesale prices to mitigate the pressures of PMG contracts, platforms can foster beneficial arrangements by reducing the PMG rate, which improves supply chain efficiency. We develop a theoretical framework for channel choice, contract design, and financing strategies, providing actionable insights for SMEs to optimize e-commerce supply chain operations.","PeriodicalId":55009,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management","volume":"72 ","pages":"2018-2034"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144185924","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}
