TL;DR: In this paper, a special issue implores us to address sustainability from the lens of emerging economies and the role that innovation can play in this context, and proposes a unifying approach that enables the collaborative integration of social issues of relevance to underserved populations in operations management decisions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize the collaborative work dynamics of a client and a vendor who are engaged in a multi-state, multi-period stochastic project with a finite deadline, and they show that when the client can verify the vendor's effort, it is optimal that they both exert high effort in one of two situations: when either not enough progress has been made and the deadline is close (deadline effect), or conversely, when so much progress had been made that the project state is close to a completion state set by the client (milestone effect).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a game-theoretic model of team leadership of coproductive projects and study how team leaders should combine their directing and contributing efforts depending on the team and project characteristics.

TL;DR: In this article, a game-theoretic model was developed to evaluate the environmental benefits of extended producer responsibility-based recycling systems with respect to product design-for-recycling and recycling technology improvements.

TL;DR: A game-theoretic model of team leadership of coproductive projects is proposed and it is found that directive team leadership is optimal when the team members have low incentives and when their rewards are low, the size of the team is large, or failure is not too costly.
