This paper measured the accounting conservatism levels of 765 listed corporations between 2003 and 2010 through models such as cumulative accrual and income-expense matching, and adopted multi-index Logit regression to estimate the levels of corporate financial constraint, and found that enhancing the level of accounting conservatism can significantly lower corporate financial constraint. Furthermore,...
The paper presents a novel framework about Multi-Resolution Model (MRM) of Logistics Node Location(LNL) based on the theory of Granular Computing(GC), which integrates the macroscopic, mesoscopic and microscopic logistics location problem. Simultaneously, the paper also discusses the concept of Attribute Reduction(AR) and establishes the application framework of LNL problem. In addition, in logistics...
Ranking efficiency of large projects based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) could be used for grouping decision-making units. Utilizing the expert score tool on super efficiency results, we propose a multinomial regression model which aims to achieve the selection purpose of new public constructed projects. The efficiency of decision making units represented is estimated using the nonparametric...
To reduce carbon emission, Cap-and-Trade (C&T) is regarded as one of the effective environmental regulations around the world, which brings huge challenges to generating companies. In this paper, a non-linear programming model considering market drive of green consumption is proposed to make decisions of green improvement, production planning, product pricing and carbon trading for the generating...
Logistics service supply chain (LSSC) is a new type of service supply chain, and research on channel coordination of LSSC has increasingly caught the attention in supply chain studies. Given the influence of fairness concern behavior, it is necessary to incorporate fairness concern into LSSC to discuss its effect on channel coordination. This paper examines the wholesale price contract under a two-echelon...
With daily changing customer requirements and with personalized requirements play more important role in current services, it calls for in-depth and broader explorations about service customization. Nowadays, more and more service companies shift to mass customization mode to decrease service delivery costs, improve service capability and efficiency, and meet the growing variety of customer needs...
For the express outlets, the queuing problem is an unavoidable practical problem. Increasing the number of windows can reduce the waiting time of customers, but also increases the operating costs of express outlets. How to balance between them, determined the optimal number of windows, it is critical to network. This paper made two optimized on the basis of the existing operational processes on the...
Aiming at the problem of inefficiency of infrastructure investment in the process of China's urbanization, on the basis of summarizing forefather's research results, this paper analyzed the efficiency of input and output of infrastructure investment of China's provinces in 2005???2012 using Super-efficiency DEA model and Malmquist index under the background of new-type urbanization. It comes to the...
Analysis the change of publishing industry supply chain and digital publishing impact on the development of publishing industry logistics in the digital environment. The author suggests that Sustainable development strategy of logistics enterprises in publishing industry is raised on three parts, the first is the development mode of third-party logistics service provider, the second is the development...
With the rapid development of modern information and communication technology, e-government has gradually become the focus of government management innovation as a new link connecting the government and the public. On the basis of Information System Success Theory, we developed a G2C e-government citizen's satisfaction model from perspectives of both online service quality and offline service quality...
This paper mainly analyzes the system level concept of public service productivity, as well as identified the potential issues affecting system level pension service productivity. This approach aims at optimizing the performance of the whole system and to avoid sub optimizing the production of individual services or organizations. First, a literature based definition of public service system productivity...
Based on the margin transaction in Chinese stock market, this paper discusses the effects of margin to China securities market, especially the impact of short-selling constraints on the skewness of stock returns. The empirical results indicate that short selling system significantly increases the skewness of returns distribution. While the short selling constraints make the return distribution left...
Discussions on how the practice of extend producer responsibility (EPR) improves the development of economy, environment and society has been the hot topic in the sustainability field. Although the solution is still unclear, the key problem of the EPR study has made great progress. However, inasmuch as multilateral stakeholders and benefits (economic, environmental and social), we should pay more...
We present an analytical framework to analyze two scenarios in dual-channel supply chain: manufacturer in a dominant position, retailer in a dominant position. Focusing on retailer's sales effort, manufacturer's online sales effort and brand effort, we model competitive decision making in both scenarios as two-stage sequential games between competing manufacturer and retailer. Our analysis indicates...
This paper analyzes a dual channel supply chain with service cooperation under asymmetric information. We consider the games with asymmetric risk information and symmetric information respectively, derive the corresponding equilibrium strategies, and conduct detailed comparisons and analyses. We study the impact of service quality and asymmetric information on the optimal strategies. We find that...
To now, agent scheduling for a multi-skill call center is still a unsolved problem. The deployment of multi-skill agents and the evaluation of service level are the most critical and difficult issues. Some related studies try to solve the problem utilizing heuristic algorithm supported by simulation analysis. However, since the simulation analysis is required for each round of heuristic calculation,...
Increasing assessment schemes have been used by health care organizations to build a quality management system (QMS). These schemes provide a system approach, which encompasses frameworks, varieties of awards criteria or standards and control strategies to ensure the health care quality and safety. The focus of this study is on the comparison of existing QMSs from mainstream hospital assessment schemes...
This study inferred to many domestic and foreign literature as well as research reports, we used the FEMA method to analyze every phrase in B to C e-commerce transactions to build the service quality index, then the multidimensional scaling method to categorize these service quality indexes, in order to establish the five dimensions of e-service.
The Vehicle Scheduling Problem is a key ring of the logistics distribution optimization problem. It has always been the hot topic in the modern logistics field. Vehicle scheduling problem means: under the constraints of order quantity, deliver time, vehicle load and vehicle mileage, working out an optimum distribution scheme for a set of given customers, to make the least mileage, lowest cost of transport,...
In the age of Big Data, we must do best to economically extract value from very large volumes of a wide variety of statistics. However, because of subjective and objective reasons, it is becoming increasing clear that much data is of poor quality, which has serious effects on the research results. With the analysis on the cause and process of the low quality data, this paper introduces the concept...
