    Pull-to-center bias in the newsvendor problem3 questions

    1. Trait antecedents, regime generalization, learning dynamics, and parameter-informed debiasing of the individual anchoring-and-adjustment model of newsvendor ordering

    2. Jointly reproducing the pull-to-center effect and the non-linear ordering curve in a prospect-theory newsvendor model: extending the loss-averse reference-dependent (LR) framework of Vipin and Amit (2019)

    3. Explaining and predicting individual-level heterogeneity in newsvendor ordering decisions beyond the aggregate pull-to-center effect

    The paradox of redundancy in highly reliable organizations where redundancy increases complex faults3 questions

    1. Robustness of redundancy-backfire dynamics in security systems: extending Ghaffarzadegan's (2008) guard-force model to heterogeneous agents, human-resource processes, disaggregated infiltration, deterrence, and endogenous adversary growth

    2. Redundancy in disaster-response systems: under what conditions is it a pathway to resilience rather than a recipe for disaster?

    3. Feasibility and safety effect of system-level slack, redundancy, and decoupling in tightly coupled hospital organisations

    The mechanism by which the supply chain bullwhip effect persists even after information sharing1 questions

    1. Modeling and controlling the bullwhip effect in upstream production chains for diversified products

    The supply chain resilience–efficiency paradox2 questions

    1. Efficiency–resilience trade-offs in closed-loop supply chains: supply-side ripple propagation, alternative structures and inventory policies, and risk-aware tuning of the POUT controller

    2. The lean-resilience tipping point: existence, location, and nature of the efficiency-resilience boundary in supply chains

    When does risk pooling through inventory sharing fail?1 questions

    1. Dependence-structure sensitivity of optimal inventory-pooling policy choice beyond two demand sources (vine-copula extension of Derbel–Hachicha–Aljuaid)

    Revenue gains and demand learning bias in platform dynamic pricing2 questions

    1. Learning and pricing in repeated generalized second-price auctions with unknown click-through rates

    2. Consistency, convergence rates, and asymptotic distribution for the neural-network demand-parameter estimator of Safonov (2024)

    The inversion conditions for algorithmic aversion and algorithmic appreciation effects3 questions

    1. Decomposing the Framing-to-Expert-Power Mechanism in Algorithmic versus Human Advice Uptake

    2. Mechanisms and boundary conditions of algorithm appreciation in advice taking

    3. Conditions that reverse algorithm aversion versus appreciation: causal validation of the capability–personalization framework and resolution of moderator heterogeneity

    Reference class selection issues for project management planning fallacy4 questions

    1. Reference-class construction and robustness of similarity-based forecasting and structured outside-view methods

    2. Constructing reference classes for reference class forecasting when comparable megaprojects are rare or unique

    3. Validity of the reference class in reference class forecasting of hydroelectric dam cost overruns

    4. Validating and maintaining reference class forecasting for Hong Kong's major roadworks projects: unresolved issues in class construction, contingency governance, and forecast adjustment

    Manual adjustment of demand forecasting when accuracy is improved rather than reduced2 questions

    1. Boundary conditions for judgmental adjustment of statistical tourism demand forecasts: when to withhold expert intervention, and how to integrate and debias it

    2. Deployment conditions for judgmental adjustment of statistical demand forecasts: scalable product and aggregation-level selection, learning under feedback, and organizational context

    The last-mile delivery time window commitment is mismatched with system cost3 questions

    1. Choice-based dynamic time slot management in attended home delivery at industrial scale: joint scalability, realistic choice behavior, multi-day horizons, and service-level objectives

    2. Delivery-dependent costs in dynamic slotting for attended home delivery, and its comparison with dynamic pricing

    3. Restoring service-guarantee mappings for fixed-length windows and waiting policies in distributionally robust service time-window design
