Several studies have evaluated the effects of postharvest technologies on loss (PHL) incurred at a single stage food value chain. However, very few assessed effect multiple PHL various stages This study five (harvesting tools, cold stores, plastic crates, fruit fly traps, and ground tarps) promoted by Rockefeller Foundation Yieldwise Initiative (YWI) in Kenya three mango chain (harvest, transpo...

This article contributes to the Emerging Discourse Incubator initiative by presenting how supply chain management scholars can contribute theory development means of necessity theories. These are unique theories that inform what level a concept must be present achieve desired outcome. Necessity consist concepts necessary but not sufficient conditions for an outcome, where absence single causal ...

This study analyzes how webrooming affects the O2O supply chain of an e-tailer and a brick-and-mortar store. Two types stores are considered: self-owned franchised. We first determine via game theory optimal pricing service decisions for store when prices uniform or nonuniform online offline. The results indicate that benefits both nonuniform. For stores, market share consumer traveling costs w...

Standardization has been a powerful strategy in consumer markets, but it's reached the point of diminishing returns. And diversity is not the only chink in standardization's armor: Attempts to build stores in the remaining attractive locations often meet fierce resistance from community activists.

We find that flagships, due to the powerful brand experiences they allow, have a stronger impact on brand attitude, brand attachment and brand equity compared to brand stores. We prov...

The paper is about design of object stores for distributed memory computers. Problems of distribution within such stores are described through the design of Distributed Texas, a system derived from the Texas store [6] and implemented on a scalable multicomputer (a Fujitsu AP1000). Problems discussed include creating a single image of an object space across multicomputer architectures, tradeoffs...
