BALTIMORE, MD, November 12, 2024 – New research in the INFORMS journal Manufacturing & Service Operations Management is guiding the development of more inclusive and efficient electricity markets. The work demonstrates how aggregating small-scale, distributed energy resources (DERs) like solar panels can effectively balance the power of large utility companies.
Global supply chains are undergoing an irrevocable shift. While material flows remain critical, they are only the most visible aspect of this transition. Beneath the surface, changes in information exchanges, financial reconfigurations, and human capital movements are posing far greater risks to the benefits of global trade. The US, China, and the rest the world must handle these changes with care and perspective.

What does race have to do with diabetes? Especially in these tumultuous times, we thank advocate Mila Clarke Buckley for her willingness to explore the connection between race, ethnicity, and health disparities for minorities with diabetes.
The scientific contributions emerging biopharma brings to big pharma can’t be understated. Licensing deals – whereby large pharma companies purchase the IP and drug development rights from, typically, a small biotech—are big business. In 2016, the potential total value of strategic alliance payments reached nearly $58 billion. While this figure includes contingent milestone payments and royalties on market revenues, even up-front payments are no drop in the bucket.
The weight loss industry in the United States is vast and generates about $20 billion each year from over 100 million dieters. Commercial weight loss programs design customer-focused program policies to shape and optimize satisfaction and development. These two metrics are tied to how well a program does and the success of the customers in that program. New research in the INFORMS journal Marketing Science finds one key to success is making sure you have the right role model for dieters.
Covid-19 cases are accelerating around the country, reaching new daily highs in states including Texas and Arizona and spurring concerns about prospects for an economic and social revival. Thirty-three states, from Oklahoma to South Carolina and Washington, had a seven-day average of new cases on Tuesday that was higher than their average during the past two weeks, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of Johns Hopkins University data.
The first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic isn’t even over and U.S. preparations for the second wave are nowhere to be seen. Political leaders like Vice President Michael Pence have said there won’t even be another resurgence, but fresh evidence suggests otherwise: Seven states, including Arizona, Florida and South Carolina, are experiencing new daily cases that more than doubled from two weeks ago. Regardless of whether a second wave is on its way, one thing is clear: The U.S. health care system is still struggling.
