As a key component of logistics outsourcing, carrier selection directly affects logistics service quality. In general, there are multiple carriers to provide freight service along each route of a logistics network. Each carrier has stochastic capacity owing to that the carrier’s capacity may be partially occupied by other customers. Moreover, goods spoilage often occurs during transportation such that the amount of intact goods delivered may not fulfill the market demand. Thus, each carrier in this study is characterized by stochastic capacity that denotes freight capacity and delivery spoilage that denotes freight quality. Both freight capacity and freight quality are integrated into the carrier selection problem from the viewpoint of network reliability. An effective method that incorporates network reliability algorithm and genetic algorithm is developed to find the optimal carrier selection and the maximum network reliability. A practical logistics network is analyzed to showcase the utility of the algorithm in carrier selection, together with a sensitivity analysis to figure out the important carriers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"346 3","pages":"2195 - 2223"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698594","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 paper focuses on the governance of corporate greenwashing and constructs an evolutionary game model between enterprise, media, government and consumer from the perspective of commercial bribery to analyze the mechanisms of interaction between the complex behaviors of different decision makers. In addition, this paper uses MATLAB to simulate three key factors (controlling collusion, optimizing reputation mechanisms and guiding active governance decisions) in different scenarios for a typical greenwashing enterprise. The findings reveal that commercial bribery directly influences the strategic choices of the media, government and consumer, while increasing the reputational effect of the media, improving the supervision positivity of lower-level government and optimizing the feedback mechanisms of consumers can break the chain of interests of multi-agent collusion in greenwashing. This paper supplements the relevant literature on commercial bribery and greenwashing research in the same framework, clarifying the chain of interests in which enterprises induce the media, government, and consumer to participate in greenwashing through commercial bribery. In addition, this paper deepens theoretical research on collaborative governance of commercial bribery and greenwashing from a multi-stakeholder perspective, improves the efficiency of corporate governance, and provides decision-making reference for achieving sustainable development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"350 3","pages":"1253 - 1282"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145165189","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}

The former helps in tackling the class imbalance problem and the latter improves model stability. However, extant CCP literature is unclear on the impact of undersampling on model stability and predictive performance, while bagging has difficulties in handling the class imbalance problem. Therefore, we extend existing CCP research to benchmark underbagging, which combines undersampling and bagging. Having both prediction techniques combined we recuperate customer data that would have been lost in undersampling by using them in multiple bags and passing an undersampled, more balanced training set to the classifier. In an extensive experiment including 11 real-life CCP datasets, underbagging is benchmarked against its constituents and other popular CCP classifiers in terms of predictive performance, profit and operational efficiency. Our results indicate that underbagging is a valid and reliable alternative framework for CCP prediction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"346 3","pages":"2401 - 2421"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698593","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}

Yet, how two sources of cultural stress such as discrimination and negative context of reception are related to anxiety and depression is not well understood. This study aimed to investigate the impact of discrimination, negative context of reception, and demographic factors on anxiety and depression levels among 1426 Latino adults in the United States. Using two novel online simulators based on Bayesian Belief Networks, we explored how variations in these independent variables influence mental health outcomes. Our findings reveal that discrimination and negative context of reception significantly affect anxiety and depression, with discrimination being a stronger predictor. Generational status also played a key role, with second-generation Latinos experiencing worse mental health compared to the first generation. The item “To what extent do you feel that Americans have something against you?” was identified as the strongest predictor of mental health. Probabilistic machine learning approach allowed for the examination of complex interactions and non-linear relationships, providing deeper insights into the dynamics of cultural stressors and mental health. These findings suggest that addressing discrimination and negative context of reception could be vital for interventions aimed at improving the mental health of Latino populations. The use of online simulation tools in this research offers a novel method for subject-matter experts to explore and understand the intricate relationships between cultural stressors and mental health, potentially informing future prevention strategies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8215,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Operations Research","volume":"346 3","pages":"2461 - 2481"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143698432","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 this paper, an innovative Malmquist Productivity Index, called Linear Overall Malmquist Productivity Index (LOMI), is proposed by combining the centralized Overall Malmquist approach introduced in Afsharian and Ahn (Or Spectrum 39:881–911, 2017) and the linearizing methods suggested in Zohrehbandian et al. (J Oper Res Soc 61:604–610, 2010) for the classical Data Envelopment Analysis. The new index is easy for practitioners to implement as it requires only solving linear and quadratic programming models and shares the same advantages of the Overall Malmquist Productivity Index. The methodological proposal is complemented and validated by assessing 21 Chilean water Companies from 2011 to 2022. On average, the suggested index shows a cumulative value of 0.9088, denoting a decline in productivity over time. Water companies are getting progressively further away from the overall benchmark technology.
