Research in INFORMS journal Management Science indicates that publishers who tried to manipulate readers into buying paper books over eBooks, only managed to drive their eBooks sales down.
“How might we use artificial intelligence and big data to help scientists advance our understanding?” That understanding, presumably, would be used to accelerate the creation of the universal flu vaccine, a topic that is explored in a new editorial from INFORMS member Eva Lee.
As a study by researchers from the City University of Hong Kong, the Georgia Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon University, which has been published in the INFORMS journal Management Science, has shown, delaying the ebook's output does not have a positive impact on sales of the paper edition. In addition, it has a subsequent negative impact on e-book sales.
New research in the INFORMS journal Management Science found that delaying the sale of the e-version of a new book does not lead to increased print sales, and can result in significantly fewer e-book sales (a nearly 50 percent decrease) once the digital version is made available.
According to a study in the INFORMS journal Marketing Science, co-authored by Yanwen Wang of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Michael Lewis of Emory University in Atlanta and David A. Schweidel of Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., negative advertising is effective in influencing voters — but significantly more so when the attacking candidates themselves run the ads.

Mpox is spreading across several African countries. The World Health Organization declared mpox a “public health emergency of international concern.” The Democratic Republic of Congo has been hardest hit, though Burundi has also seen a recent surge of cases. To date this year, 36,000 suspected cases have been reported, with more than one-half among children younger than 15 years old. In Burundi alone, two-thirds of the recent cases have been in those younger than 19.
The supply chain for many small parcel shipping companies is typically long. Products are often made in distant lands, travel on oceans and waterways, arrive at ports, are then transported to warehouses, from where a third-party logistics provider delivers the product to its intended destination. In a stable world, shippers and customers alike can expect a product to be delivered within the promised time window. However, in a world facing high levels of uncertainty caused by war, pandemic, political instability, raw material shortages, freak accidents (recall the regional and national impact of the bridge collapse in the Port of Baltimore caused by a container ship), and weather, the shipper must work overtime to ensure customer expectations are met at no additional cost, despite these uncertainties.
BALTIM0RE -- Experts say the longer the thousands of port workers strike, including at the Port of Baltimore, the more catastrophic the impacts could be.
