Title: |
Off-Platform Threats in On-Demand Services
|
|
Abstrac: |
Online platforms that provide on-demand services are often threatened by the phenomenon of leakage, where customer-provider pairs may decide to transact ``off-platform" to avoid paying the platform commissions. There is a current dearth of studies in the operations literature that systematically analyze the key factors behind platform leakage. We develop two game-theoretical models that capture service providers' and customers' decisions whether to conduct their business on or off the platform. In the base model, we assume that customers are equipped with information to select their desired providers on the platform, whereas in the extension, we assume customers are randomly matched with available providers by the platform.
Across both models, platforms tend to be more immunized against leakage as customer valuations for service increase or their waiting costs decrease. In the base model, platforms with larger provider pool sizes tend to be more immunized against leakage. In the extension, platforms that feature higher proportions of high-quality providers or lower heterogeneity in service quality are more resistant to leakage. By comparing the degree of leakage or the platform's expected profit between both settings, we find that neither model of perfect information nor the imperfect information setting dominates the other.

Title: |
Prescriptive Data Analytics for Operations Management
|
|
Abstrac: |
In this talk we will survey the different approaches developed for data driven static and dynamic decision making in operations management. Within the context of static decision problems, we will discuss, Sample Average Approximation (SAA), Retrospective Optimization (RetrO), Robust Optimization (RobO), Adversarial Optimization (AdvO), Smart Predict then Optimize (SP+O), and Operational Data Analytics (ODA). We will discuss the relationship and relative advantages of the different approaches. For dynamic decision problems, we will survey the different Multiarmed Bandit (MAB), Reinforcement Learning (RL) and End-to-End integration (E2E) Approaches. We will discuss how Machine Learning (ML) algorithms such as Random Forest (RF), AdaBoost, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are integrated into providing prescriptive solution to OM problems.
