Exploring the knowledge complexities of innovation intermediaries: The case of nanotechnology in the UK. (2015)
Journal Article
Mount, M., Milewski, S., & Fernandes, K. (2015). Exploring the knowledge complexities of innovation intermediaries: The case of nanotechnology in the UK. International Journal of Technology Management, 69(1), 20-37. https://doi.org/10.1504/ijtm.2015.071029

Innovation intermediaries are critical enablers of inward and outward technology and knowledge transfer processes, particularly in domains and industries that are characterised by high complexity. Nanotechnology as a radical, generic technology is on... Read More about Exploring the knowledge complexities of innovation intermediaries: The case of nanotechnology in the UK..

An optimization model for a monopolistic firm serving an environmentally conscious market: Use of Chemical Reaction Optimization Algorithm (2014)
Journal Article
Choudhary, A., Suman, R., Dixit, V., Tiwari, M., Fernandes, K., & Chang, P. (2015). An optimization model for a monopolistic firm serving an environmentally conscious market: Use of Chemical Reaction Optimization Algorithm. International Journal of Production Economics, 164, 409-420. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpe.2014.10.011

This work considers a monopolist firm which faces the following twin challenges of serving an environmentally sensitive market. The first challenge is the demand׳s elasticity to emissions and price. To entice its emission conscious customers and gene...

Minimizing delay of ships in bulk terminals by simultaneous ship scheduling, stockyard planning and train scheduling. (2014)
Journal Article
Babu, S. A. I., Pratap, S., Lahoti, G., Fernandes, K. J., Tiwari, M. K., Mount, M., & Xiong, Y. (2015). Minimizing delay of ships in bulk terminals by simultaneous ship scheduling, stockyard planning and train scheduling. Maritime Economics & Logistics, 17(4), 464-492. https://doi.org/10.1057/mel.2014.20

Because of an increase in population, the demand for coal has drastically risen with millions of tons of coal being imported annually through Indian ports. To accommodate with this rise in demand, there has been an increase in the concern over proper...

A diffusion model for service products. (2014)
Journal Article
Shi, L., & Fernandes, K. (2014). A diffusion model for service products. Journal of Services Marketing, 28(4), 331-341. https://doi.org/10.1108/jsm-11-2012-0224

Purpose – This paper aims to develop a diffusion model that can be used to understand and forecast the market growth of service products in a competitive environment. Despite the fast growth of the service sector, the existing literature has dedicate... Read More about A diffusion model for service products..

Exploring the Role of Innovativeness and Opinion Leadership in Diffusion. (2014)
Journal Article
Shi, L., & Fernandes, K. (2014). Exploring the Role of Innovativeness and Opinion Leadership in Diffusion. International Journal of Innovation Management, 18(4), Article 1450029. https://doi.org/10.1142/s1363919614500297

Despite the extensive studies in the field of diffusion, the role of innovativeness in diffusion models has not reached a consensus and the literature has dedicated little effort to modelling customers' heterogeneous opinion leadership. These gaps co... Read More about Exploring the Role of Innovativeness and Opinion Leadership in Diffusion..

Diffusion of multi-generational high-technology products. (2013)
Journal Article
Shi, L., Fernandes, K., & Chumnumpan, P. (2014). Diffusion of multi-generational high-technology products. Technovation, 34(3), 162-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.technovation.2013.11.008

Previous multi-generational product diffusion (MGPD) models were developed based on the diffusion patterns at that time, but may not be adopted in today's cases. By incorporating the effect of customers' forward-looking behaviour, this paper offers a... Read More about Diffusion of multi-generational high-technology products..

Dynamic pricing models for used products in remanufacturing with lost-sales and uncertain quality. (2013)
Journal Article
Xiong, Y., Li, G., Zhou, Y., Fernandes, K., Harrison, R., & Xiong, Z. (2013). Dynamic pricing models for used products in remanufacturing with lost-sales and uncertain quality. International Journal of Production Economics, 147(Part C), 678-688. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijpe.2013.04.025

In this paper, we investigate the remanufacturing problem of pricing single-class used products (cores) in the face of random price-dependent returns and random demand. Specifically, we propose a dynamic pricing policy for the cores and then model th... Read More about Dynamic pricing models for used products in remanufacturing with lost-sales and uncertain quality..
