Product design in monopolistic competition

Burak Dindaroglu

International Journal of Economic Theory > 19 > 3 > 471 - 488

We consider a model of monopolistic competition where producers can manipulate an elasticity parameter at an early stage. We interpret this as a choice of product specialization. Lower marginal costs of production lead to more generic products in all equilibria, which lead to fewer varieties under free‐entry. Entry of a new firm increases overall specialization and increases prices, that is, the environment...

Smartphone repairability indexes in practice: Linking repair scores to industrial design features

Mário Barros, Eric Dimla

Journal of Industrial Ecology > 27 > 3 > 923 - 936

Policymaking mediates the relationships between manufacturers and consumers, thus defining the boundaries for the philosophies of production set forth by major companies. Research states that policymaking falls short in addressing the waste issues, natural resources consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and other negative impacts posed by premature obsolescence; only recently have the “right‐to‐repair”...

Benefits of sourcing alternative inputs of manufacturers for suppliers

Yuetao Gao, Norman Johnson, Bo Shen, Yinliang (Ricky) Tan

Production and Operations Management > 32 > 6 > 1880 - 1894

A downstream manufacturer can procure high‐quality inputs from its upstream raw material supplier to produce finished products with high quality. The manufacturer may also have the option to source alternative cheaper low‐quality inputs to partially replace the inputs from its supplier to produce finished products of lower quality. That is, the manufacturer can use a mixture of the supplier's inputs...

Product design with attribute dependence

José A. Novo‐Peteiro

The Manchester School > 91 > 4 > 361 - 385

This paper studies how product design and pricing strategies are affected by the existing relationship between the characteristics that integrate the product. The analysis shows that complementarity and low substitutability encourage the provision of quality incorporated to the products and increase the quality distortion and cannibalization problems that are common in segmented markets. A two‐product...

Why we like to touch: Consumers' tactile esthetic appreciation explained by a balanced combination of unity and variety in product designs

Ruben A. G. Post, Janneke Blijlevens, Paul Hekkert, Daniel Saakes, more

Psychology & Marketing > 40 > 6 > 1249 - 1262

Tactile experiences are a pivotal part of consumer behavior and choice. However, very little is known about why consumers esthetically appreciate touching products. The principle of Unity‐in‐Variety, stating that consumers like to perceive variety but only when this variety is presented as a coherent whole, has been shown to partly explain consumers' esthetic appreciation in the visual domain. We...

From share of choice to buyers' welfare maximization: Bridging the gap through distributionally robust optimization

Maoqi Liu, Li Zheng, Changchun Liu, Zhi‐Hai Zhang

Production and Operations Management > 32 > 4 > 1205 - 1222

We study the product design problem where a decision maker selects the features of a product from a set of feasible options. We focus on two widely studied objectives in this field, that is, the share of choice (SOC) and buyers' welfare (BW). The two objectives are vulnerable to different types of customer preference misspecification, that is, deviation from the nominal utility distribution and effects...

Analysis of parameters about useful life extension in 70 tools and methods related to eco‐design and circular economy

Marta Royo, Vicente Chulvi, Elena Mulet, Laura Ruiz‐Pastor

Journal of Industrial Ecology > 27 > 2 > 562 - 586

One of the approaches followed by the circular economy (CE) to achieve sustainability through design is product life extension. Extending the life of products to make them useful for as long as possible is a means to reduce waste production and materials consumption, as well as the related impacts. For designers, conceptualizing products in a way that allows them to be used for longer is a challenge,...

The impact of animal welfare regulations on firms' product offerings: Humane or organic product?

Zhiping Lin, Wenli Xiao, Yen‐Ting Lin, Yinping Mu

Naval Research Logistics (NRL) > 70 > 1 > 89 - 104

Increased public concerns about animal welfare have spurred new regulations to improve animals' treatment and living conditions. We study how these regulations affect firms' product offerings, prices, and profits. We consider two competing animal agriculture supply chains, each consisting of a supplier and a buyer. New regulations require firms to choose between offering humane or organic products,...

Consumer reactions to AI design: Exploring consumer willingness to pay for AI‐designed products

Hao Zhang, Xiaofei Bai, Zengguang Ma

Psychology & Marketing > 39 > 11 > 2171 - 2183

Companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) technology to generate promising concepts for new products which are then marketed to consumers as “AI‐designed.” Drawing on four studies and follow‐up studies, this paper explores consumer perceptions of AI design. Based on the information gap model, the studies determine that, compared with professional‐designed products, consumers are...

Analysis of attachment factors in small household EEE: An opportunity toward the circular economy

Elena Mulet, Vicente Chulvi, Marta Royo

Journal of Industrial Ecology > 26 > 4 > 1364 - 1377

Despite the fact that one of the goals of the circular economy is that products can be used for as long as possible, existing data show that the number of years that small household appliances are used until they are replaced is not increasing and is even decreasing in some cases. This work focuses on product attachment as a strategy to slow down the replacement of the product and, consequently, to...
