Title: Human–AI Collaboration: Evidence from AI-Augmented Decision Making in Pharmacovigilance

Abstract: Organizations increasingly rely on artificial intelligence (AI) to support human decision-making, yet how humans calibrate their reliance on AI in high-stakes settings remains unclear. Using data from a global pharmaceutical organization, we analyze how AI impacts human decision-making. Our findings extend research on human–AI collaboration by showing that reliance on AI is not a fixed disposition, but a dynamic, context-dependent process shaped by the consistency of algorithmic properties. These insights contribute to theories of decision making and information processing in AI-augmented organizational systems.

Title:  Overcoming Barriers to Positive Change in Operations Management: ESG, UNSDGs, Incentives

and Regulations

Abstract: This presentation explores how Operations Management (OM) research can drive systemic improvements in ESG and UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs). Progress is currently hindered by behavioral, organizational, systemic, and political barriers. However, positive change can be achieved through a strategic mix of incentives (voluntary rewards) and regulations (mandatory compliance). For example, studies on agricultural subsidies reveal trade-offs between income growth and inequality, while regulations that penalize meal delivery platforms instead of drivers are proven to be socially optimal for safety. Ultimately, evaluating these mechanisms presents abundant OM research opportunities to help shape a better humanity.
