“…They could include pricing, assortment, shelf space, inventory, and other merchandising decisions (Gooner et al, 2011). Inventory and assortment are day-to-day routine activities that are absorbed into suppliers' operating systems (Kurtulu ˛s et al, 2022). The study suggests that retailers consider these activities to be relatively unimportant and routine.…”

“…Firstly, it addresses the implications of delegating operational category decisions to a single member of the category supply chain. For example, the delegation of product assortment and stocking decisions to a single supplier result in a higher wholesale price for the retailer and higher stocking for each product and overall (Kurtulu ˛s et al, 2022). Secondly, it also moves away from day-to-day operational decisions onto the management of the category.…”

PurposeThe category captain system (CC) of retailer category management (RCM) is established, accepted, and widely adopted. The paper empirically assesses the application of this system in building collaborations between retailers and their suppliers to generate growth following COVID-19. This study applies service-dominant logic (S-D logic) to RCM and establishes the current ‘practical’ application of the five axioms of S-D logic within the CC system.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers adopted a qualitative research design which examined both category managers and retail buyers currently involved in the CC system, using thematic analysis of transcripts from 25 practitioner participants.FindingsThe study reveals service is not a fundamental basis of exchange in the CC system. Value is uniquely, independently, and separately created by the retailer that significantly restricts the scope of the category service eco systems and the opportunity to innovate through value co-creation.Practical implicationsSignificant change is required to realise value co-creation and innovation applying S-D logic to RCM. The study indicates there is potential to start this change by the formalisation of wider informal category relationships between non-captain suppliers and retailers through consumer insight technology, and by aligning suppliers and retailers to make more effective and sustainable trading decisions.Originality/valueThe study indicates that certain elements of the CC system proposed by the literature's games-based theoretic models, are not applied in practice. The lived experiences of practitioners suggest informal ways of by-passing the formal system using S-D logic.

Situational Factor Determinants of the Allocation of Decision Rights to Edge Computers

Internet of Things (IoT) designers frequently must determine whether action-oriented decisions should be made by edge computers or whether they should be made only by central servers combining input from all edge computers. An important example of this design problem occurs in fire protection IoT where individual edge computers attached to sensors might be empowered to make decisions (have decision rights) about how to manage the fire. Alternately, decision rights could be held exclusively by a central server isolated from the fire, because the designer is concerned damage to edge computers could cause them to act unreliably. This research models this allocation of decision rights to identify the relative influence of various decision factors. We first model the allocation of decision rights under the following assumptions (1) the central server cannot make an error the edge computer cannot make, (2) the central server cannot update the edge computer with its information in a timely manner, and (3) the central server cannot reverse an action initiated by the edge computer to explore the factors impacting decision rights conferral. We then relax each of these three assumptions. We show how relaxing each assumption radically changes the factors impacting decision rights conferral. We also show that allowing the central server to update information on the edge computer or reverse the edge computer's decision making can result in overall lower system performance. We then perform a series of numerical experiments to understand how changing various parameters affect the problem. We show for the general real-world scenario, the key factor influencing the decision is the ability of the edge computer to detect false alarms. We also show magnitude of loss and ratio of real to false incidents have a linear and logarithmic relationship to the reliability of the edge computer.
