New technology introduction and product rollover strategies

Fei Jing et al.

Summary: This study examines the technology introduction strategy of a provider and the product rollover strategies of competing manufacturers in a market. The main findings indicate that the provider sells the new technology to both manufacturers for small-level technology improvement, but to only one of them otherwise. Additionally, the manufacturers remove the old version of the product from the market when adopting the new technology, as long as the quality of the new version exceeds a critical threshold. In situations where the provider's production capacity is limited, the provider sells the new technology to the lower-quality manufacturer for moderate-level technology improvement, and to the higher-quality manufacturer otherwise.

Pricing, or time-to-market? Product introduction for quality differentiated products with delayed network effects

Junjun Kong et al.

Summary: This paper examines the optimal product introduction strategy of a firm considering delayed network effects in a two-period model. The study finds that the firm would adopt a free trial strategy if the intensity of delayed network effects is low and the quality differential is large, while versioning would be chosen to maximize profits in each period. In the case of high intensity of delayed network effects and moderate quality differential, shelving strategy is preferred, and combination is chosen when both the intensity of delayed network effects and quality differential are high. Furthermore, the study shows that free trial achieves the highest consumer surplus and social welfare.

High Definition Metrology-Based Quality Improvement of Surface Texture in Face Milling of Workpieces With Discontinuous Surfaces

Guilong Li et al.

Summary: This research proposes a new method to improve the surface quality in face milling of workpieces with discontinuous surfaces. By defining evaluation indexes for tool marks, presenting the physical modeling of tool marks, and developing a physical-informed optimization model, the surface quality is effectively improved.

Geometrical deviation modeling and monitoring of 3D surface based on multi-output Gaussian process

Chen Zhao et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a spherical multi-output Gaussian process (S-MOGP) method to model and monitor geometrical deviations on 3D surfaces. By mapping the 3D surface to a 2D parameter domain and establishing a state equation based on the multi-output Gaussian process, statistics are calculated and control charts are presented to effectively model and monitor the geometrical deviations.

Sequential Product Development and Introduction by Cash-Constrained Start-Ups

Sreekumar Bhaskaran et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the balance between the timing of introducing novel products and the resource constraints of companies, identifying significant differences in product introduction strategies between start-ups and established firms. The impact of technological failure and forms of learning on the optimal strategy of start-ups is also explored.

Performance, Reliability, or Time-to-Market? Innovative Product Development and the Impact of Government Regulation

Fei Gao et al.

Summary: The study examines the trade-offs between product performance, reliability, and time-to-market in product design decisions, as well as the impact of government-imposed minimum product reliability standards on firms, products and social welfare. It is found that such standards may lead to less reliable products and could act as a credible commitment for product reliability, benefiting firm profit and product innovation. The research informs regulators in different industries on how government regulation decisions could influence product reliability.

On sales effort and pricing decisions under alternative risk criteria

Xiang Li et al.

Summary: This study examines different risk criteria for risk-averse decision-making in a make-to-order firm setting. The results show that various risk criteria lead to similar behaviors in risk-/loss-averse decisions, with loss aversion being a milder form of risk aversion in certain cases. Additionally, the form of demand randomness can completely reverse the effect of risk/loss aversion in some situations.

Optimal sales and production rollover strategies under capacity constraints

Justus Arne Schwarz et al.

Summary: Companies face production capacity constraints when introducing new products and must make optimal decisions on transitioning from old to new product generations. Depending on capacity limitations, a single or dual sales/production rollover strategy can be implemented, with corresponding mitigation actions.

Designing Digital Rollovers: Managing Perceived Obsolescence through Release Times

Esma Koca et al.

Summary: The timing of new product release plays a crucial role in the success of rollover strategy, as it influences consumers' perception of obsolescence and upgrading behavior. This approach requires firms to offer deep discounts on existing products to maintain sales viability and attract existing customers to upgrade.
