AI vs. Human Buyers: A Study of Alibaba’s Inventory Replenishment System

Inventory management is one of the most important components of Alibaba’s business. Traditionally, human buyers make replenishment decisions: although artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms make recommendations, human buyers can choose to ignore these recommendations and make their own decisions. The company has been exploring a new replenishment system in which algorithmic recommendations are final. The algorithms combine state-of-the-art deep reinforcement learning techniques with the framework of fictitious play. By learning the supplier’s behavior, we are able to address the important issues of lead time and fill rate on order quantity, which have been ignored in the extant literature of stochastic inventory control. We present evidence that our algorithms outperform human buyers in terms of reducing out-of-stock rates and inventory levels. More interestingly, we have seen additional benefits amid the pandemic. Over the last two years, cities in China partially and intermittently locked down to mitigate COVID-19 outbreaks. We have observed panic buying from human buyers during lockdowns, leading to the bullwhip effect. By contrast, panic buying and the bullwhip effect can be mitigated using our algorithms due to their ability to recognize changes in the supplier’s behavior during lockdowns.

STRATEGI PEMERINTAH DALAM MENEKAN WANPRESTASI DALAM PENGADAAN KAPAL

The sale and purchase of ships carried out by institutions with Indonesian citizenship and foreign countries must pay attention to various basic principles regulated by the government. These basic principles are used and must be established for the preparation of a contract so that the parties avoid things that can harm both the seller and the buyer in terms of administration in government. The administration of buying and selling ships is included in the class of buying and selling goods whose legality of ownership must be in accordance with the standards set by the government. When buying and selling or procurement contracts are regulated based on international private law which contains several theories related to the preparation of an agreement or contract. If a ship purchase agreement does not fulfill one of the administrative elements set by the government, the agreement is considered invalid or canceled. The validity of an agreement that has been made by the parties according to Gunawan Wijaja, namely the agreement must contain validity, both the validity of which is questioned by one of the parties or other matters. In implementing the sale and purchase agreement of ships between Indonesia and foreign countries, it must be by the provisions of the sale and purchase agreement that has been determined, which can refer to agreements in international private law. It is hoped that the government of both Indonesia and foreign countries can make a wise decision in determining the cancellation of an agreement by examining or exploring further the causes of the cancellation of the sale and purchase agreement.

Relationship resilience and exogenous events: The role of relational dynamics

The paper investigates the main relational dynamics induced by an exogenous event and to what extent these dynamics contribute to relationship resilience. The paper also discusses the pre-existing conditions at the relationship level that favour relationship resilience. Methodologically, this exploratory study relies on in-depth interviews and content analysis, taking the Italian fashion industry as the empirical context under study. The paper conceptualizes relationship resilience in the case of a disruptive exogenous event as the combined effect of pre-existing conditions at the buyer-supplier relationship level and relational dynamics emerging in response to exogenous events. It identifies five pre-existing conditions: stable long-term relationships, with the supplier being irreplaceable for the know-how possessed and the importance of the buyer in terms of purchase, interdependencies generated by specific investments in technologies and innovations in production processes, relational proximity related to the geographical proximity, social bonds as a relevant part of business relationships, adoption of digital tools for the digitalization of the relationship. Theoretical and managerial contributions are also provided.

Vacuum instruments and securing the performance interest

Abstract The question as to whether the buyer of immovable property should still be able to receive the ownership of the property in case the seller goes bankrupt prior to conveyance, has sparked academic debate in many jurisdictions. In the context of immovable property, many scholars feel it is justified to provide additional protective measures in favour of the buyer and hence provide buyers with some sort of proprietary interest, prior to conveyance. But exactly which circumstances justify these protective measures under current law? And what is the most desirable way to protect the buyer in terms of scope of application and effect? This article will answer these questions on the basis of a newly-developed theoretical framework.

Climate gentrification in Miami: A real climate change-minded investment practice?

Climate gentrification has become a powerful concept to explore how climate change governance and peoples' awareness of sea-level rise will produce new housing geographies and urban inequalities. Departing from climate justice and gentrification critiques, we contribute to the conceptual advancement of climate gentrification from a geographical perspective through an examination of whether its occurrence in Miami is a real climate change-minded investment practice. We find homebuyers' awareness of sea-level rise is not the major factor compelling homebuyers to higher ground. Presently, climate gentrification in Miami is more reflective of a rational economic investment motivation in response to expensive flood insurance rather than sea-level rise itself. Homebuyers are more steered by flood insurance required by FEMA and the historical record of flooding, rather than elevation and scientific projections of storm surges. Moreover, unlike other global cities, wealthy and well-educated homebuyers show fewer concerns about rising sea levels and climate change in Miami. Our findings reveal that climate gentrification is being utilized by some developers and is both interpreted and misinterpreted by local policymakers to facilitate neoliberal urban redevelopment and place marketing. At the same time, the real estate industry is failing buyers in terms of providing accurate climate and sea-level rise information. To help remedy this knowledge gap, we call for two policy instruments to increase investors' awareness of sea-level rise: 1) include risk assessment of sea-level rise in homebuyer contracts, and 2) improve FEMA insurance maps to incorporate sea-level rise scenarios.

ANALISIS PRAKTIK JUAL BELI KARET DI DESA KAYU LAUT KECAMATAN PANYABUNGAN SELATAN DALAM PERSPEKTIF EKONOMI ISLAM

Buying and selling is a transaction carried out by both parties, namely the seller and the buyer in terms of transferring ownership rights to an object which is preceded by a contract and delivery of a predetermined amount of money. This study aims to find out how the practice of buying and selling rubber latex in the Kayu Selatan Village of Panyabungan, and how its status is reviewed according to Islamic law. The research method used is a field research method, and the nature of the research is descriptive qualitative and juridical. Sources of data collected are primary data and secondary data. The data collection is by using, interviews, observation and documentation. The result of the research is that the practice of buying and selling rubber sap in Kayu Laut village occurs in several stages, namely: first, rubber farmers harvest, usually every week on weekends (Tuesday) and sell it to a rubber sap agent or Toke, Toke will weigh the sap that has been harvested, after the sap is weighed in a sack or hanging scale. The buying and selling of rubber in Kayu Laut Village occurs normally. However, in practice there are deviations that occur, namely cutting the scales by 1 kg every 20 Kg. This is done as an anticipation of losses due to shrinkage of the sap after drying. In addition, there are deviations in the form of adding particles by Penderes as an effort to get more profit and anticipating the cuts made by Toke. In addition, there was also an abnormal weighing, the sap being weighed was still shaking but it had been calculated by the toke. This abnormal scale is also the reason for Penderes adding particles to their sap. The practice of cutting the scales, adding particles and weighing scales that are calculated when shaking is a practice that is not in accordance with Islamic law. This clearly violates the terms of sale and purchase on the object of buying and selling and attitudes on the subject of buying and selling. In addition, there are also dishonest, untrustworthy attitudes, categories of giyas and tathfif which are strictly prohibited in Islamic law.

Results of veterinary and sanitary examination of turkeys using biostimulants in early ontogenesis

Today, poultry farming is one of the most relevant branches of agriculture, as it provides products that meet consumer needs of buyers in terms of price and taste. In the conditions of the modern production process, the innovative developments of scientists are gaining increasing relevance and interest from the technological service of poultry enterprises. The most demanded are developments on the use of environmentally friendly, economically justified and effective solutions to improve the productive and reproductive qualities of poultry. At the same time, the hatchery is one of the key links in the young stock production chain and the further quantity and quality of the planting stock will depend on the efficiency of its work. The previously developed technology for the use of biostimulant solutions contributes to an increase in the number of hatched young poultry, which has been proven in previous studies. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the possibility of using meat obtained with the use of biostimulants in embryogenesis for the subsequent sale of the product on the counter for consumption without restrictions. The studies were carried out according to generally accepted methods, taking into account (TR CU 021/2011) for microbiological indicators "Ensuring the compliance of food products with safety requirements." As a result of determining the organoleptic, microbiological, chemical and histological parameters of meat in the control and experimental groups, it was established that it fully complies with the current regulatory documents and is a complete food product. On the basis of the foregoing, the safety of the resulting products was experimentally substantiated when using biological stimulants in turkey embryogenesis based on the results of the data obtained from the indicators of the veterinary and sanitary examination.

Overview on built environment planning: Residential overhang factors in malaysia affordable housing

Affordable housing remains a prevalent issue in the country. The definition suggests affordable housing as adequate housing in quality, location, and known as not so costly that prevents its occupants from meeting other essential living needs. In the effort of providing sufficient affordable housing, various affordable housing programs, namely Residensi Wilayah and PR1MA, are currently in the market with the aims to develop and deliver new affordable housing, which targeted the middle-and low-income group. Although the lacking of affordable housing persists, the severe glut in the property market has also records to reach an all-time high. The overhang crisis in the country became an infamous issue in the country with the slow market, which led to the increase in the overhang unit’s statistics year over a year which partially in affordable housing segmentation. It is highlighted that the overhang in affordable housing has shown significant rising despites of its strong demand. This paper attempts to examine the overhang issue in affordable housing in Malaysia and related factors. This research will add up some points of discussion as regards the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic towards the issue of affordable housing and the strategies in reducing the overhang issue during the pandemic. A review of the past literature related to the topics was carried out and data derived from journals, reports, and websites were gathered and examined to establish the framework on this issue and to identify the overhang factors in affordable housing. The developers are urged to build houses that can cater to the demand of buyers in terms of the property type, location, and also price range. The overhang units did not attract the target market while the product mismatch is one of the contributing factors. Other related factors are affordability, high living costs, and stagnant income growth, cooling measures, financing, unsuitable location, accessibility, the lack of timely and accurate data of buyer’s preference including the shift in demand towards the better-quality project. A study on the overhang factors of affordable housing is needed to resolve the issue, or else, the overhang issue will be worsened and will create a lot of negative impacts in the future. At the end of the research, the list of the property overhang factors and its framework able to be identified and to be used as guidelines and references to the public.

Legal Environment and Contractual Choice

Abstract This paper considers contractual choice under imperfect legal systems, in particular, contracts with different timing of payment. Ex-ante payment contracts are risky for the buyer, because the seller may shirk. Ex-post payment contracts are risky for the seller, as the buyer may default. Optimal contract is solved for any given legal environment. Exchanges with lower gains from trade tend to adopt ex-post payment contracts. The seller is a better proposer than the buyer in terms of the efficiency of the proposed contract. Surprisingly, offering ex-ante payment contracts is not strictly better for the seller under any legal environment. Moreover, mixed payment contracts are also analyzed and shown to never be optimal.

Factors Affecting the Effectiveness of Inter-Dialectical Accommodation among the Sellers-Buyers Discourse

In this research, the researchers convince the readers about factors that affecting the effectiveness of Inter-dialectical accommodation among sellers-buyers. In this research, they prove how the theory of Giles cannot cover the discourse among sellers and buyers in terms of accommodation, which is done in Central Lombok Nusa Tenggara Barat Province. The researchers describe the phenomenon of the inter-dialectical accommodation in the dialect of Meno-mene versus Meriak-meriku. The object of this research is the activities of sellers-buyers in doing the transaction in the market. The data in this research is taken through observation, recording, interview and note taking of the accommodation among sellers and buyers discourse in some markets in Praya Barat, Praya and Jonggat Sub-district. The researchers use the interpretative qualitative method with some data to reflect the condition of sellers versus buyers discourse in the market. The researchers find the preliminary data shows that the Giles Convergence Theory is un-effective or not applicable in the market where sellers and buyers of Meno-mene versus Meriak-meriku assemble and do a transaction. However, the research result shows the un-effectiveness or there is no effect of converging in bargaining. This research reveals that the convergence theory by Giles cannot be generalized into all part of the discourse, especially in the dialect of Meno-mene versus Meriak-meriku.

An agent-based model for the assessment of LTV caps

We assess the effects of regulatory caps in the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio for housing mortgages using an agent-based model. Sellers, buyers and banks interact within a computational framework that enables the application of LTV caps to a one-step housing market. We first conduct a simulation exercise; later, we calibrate the probability distributions based on actual European data from the Household Finance and Consumption Survey. In both cases, the application of an LTV cap results in a modified distribution of buyers in terms of property values, bidding prices and properties sold, depending on the probability distributions of the LTV ratio, wealth and debt-to-income ratios considered. The results are of similar magnitude to other studies in the literature embodying other analytical approaches, and they suggest that our methodology can potentially be used to gauge the impact of common macroprudential measures.

Price and profit structuring for single manufacturer multi-buyer integrated inventory supply chain under price-sensitive demand condition

This paper undertakes the study of an integrated production-inventory and pricing decision problem for a single manufacturer-multiple buyers supply chain where each buyer faces price-dependent demand. The item manufactured at a finite production rate is shipped to the buyers in multiple equal-sized shipments. Earlier researchers have not studied this problem for maximizing the overall supply chain profit and its allocation among the chain partners. For the allocation of the maximized profit, four different schemes are being proposed, each for a different level of understanding and faith among the partners. Demand, taken as price-sensitive, affects the costs to the manufacturer as the same is dependent upon the sales volume. Since the manufacturer fixes its sales price depending upon the sales volume affected cost, the volume will affect the buyer in terms of its unit purchase cost, and the holding cost which is charged as a percentage of the unit cost. This reality is attempted in this paper in addition to maximization of the chain profit and its allocation among the chain partners for integrated inventory management. Associated problems, formulated as mixed-integer non-linear programming problems, are computationally very hard, and thus evolutionary heuristics as Genetic Algorithm and Teaching-Learning Based Optimization are proposed. The strength of various proposed schemes for profit distributions has been analyzed using numerical experimentation. It is found that a forward contract between manufacturer and buyers will help to generate the maximum profit. It has also been shown that the distribution of profit based on Shapley function values is most fair and logical.

Black Homebuying after the Crisis: Appreciation Patterns in Fifteen Large Metropolitan Areas

Some have questioned the financial wisdom of homeownership and, especially, Black homeownership. This is understandable because the mortgage crisis dealt heavy blows to Black homeowners. One concern is that home values may not appreciate as much where Blacks purchase homes. We examine how Black homebuyers fared compared to White and Latino buyers in terms of home appreciation during the 2012 to 2017 recovery. We examine appreciation rates by race and ethnicity across 15 metros. We then estimate the relationship between appreciation and the race and ethnicity of the homebuyer, as well as characteristics of the neighborhood where the home is purchased. We find Blacks saw higher appreciation rates than Whites in high– and medium–appreciation metros, but not in low–appreciation metros. We also find that in medium– and high–appreciation metros, buyers in racially diverse neighborhoods tended to see higher levels of appreciation. Also in higher–appreciation metros, those buying in lower–income neighborhoods tended to see higher appreciation rates, while those in low–appreciation metros did not.

Multigroup Moderation on Customer Service Satisfaction: Case of Online Retailing

To understand the factors that influence the online shopping, retailers need to observe the behavior of the shoppers in various contexts. It enables them to target their most valuable prospects more effectively. Earlier research shows that customer’s characteristics play key role in deciding the threshold level for the customer satisfaction and repurchase rate. Moreover, in the scenario when businesses have the option to sell their products through aggregator, other than having their own website, it becomes imperative for the vendors to understand about the preferences of potential online buyers in terms of choice of aggregator too. In this backdrop, present study is an endeavor to study the moderating role of gender and choice of aggregator on the relationship of dimensions of service quality and customer satisfaction. For the study 240 respondents were chosen through convenience sampling from Delhi NCR region. A hybrid scale using the statements of previously designed standardized questionnaires was used to capture the responses. Results show that no significant moderating effect of gender and choice of aggregator found on the relationships of dimensions of e-service quality and customer satisfaction.
