Supply Chain, Beer Game, Prospect Theory, Risk Aversion, Bullwhip Effect, Dynamic Decision Making.
Abstract:
This study reports the results of an experiment on the effect of incentives on the bullwhip effect, being conducted in the Beer Game. The bullwhip effect can be explained by the increase in magnitude of orders placed by one echelon to its direct upper supplier in a supply chain. We put prospect theory in practice, and expose our treatment group – consist of risk-averse participants – to the loss-of-rewards incentive framing. Our results show that risk-averse subjects cause a larger bullwhip effect on the supply chain. Further, comparison of three customer/supplier link in the Beer Game provides evidences that the upstream of the chain suffer the most in a chain consists of risk-averse decision-makers who are exposed to a loss-of-rewards incentive framing.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to identify and investigate the critical success factors (CSFs) of Internet Banking in Iran from customers’ perspective. In this regard, the related literature in the fields of Information Systems, e-Commerce, Banking, and the Internet Banking is being studied to extract a list of variables with the potential effect on success of Internet banking in Iran. Then, the mentioned list is being refined by a group of IS and e-banking experts to devise a preliminary questionnaire. Finally, the devised questionnaire gets approvals of five experienced academics of the mentioned fields.
The use of “Critical Success Factor” methodology and “Expletory Factor Analysis” method to analyze 1018 questionnaires – filled out by Iran Mellat Bank’s Internet Banking customers – leads to find seven critical success factors from customers’ perspective. One-Sample Test (T Test) reveals that “Trust & Policy”, “Service”, “Availability”, and “Behavioral Traits” have high importance, while “Customer Interface”, “Interaction”, and “Cost & Risk” have relatively high importance.
Pairwise comparisons using the Bonferroni post hoc test reveals the following as the order of importance of the seven factors: 1. Behavioral Traits, 2. Service, 3. Trust & Policy, 4. Availability, 5. Customer Interface, 6. “Interaction” and “Cost & Risk”; in other words, the two later factor has same importance.
Further analyzing reveals that there is a meaningful difference in factor “Cost & Risk” between men and women; in comparison with men, this factor is more important for women. However, there is not any meaningful difference in other factors when these two groups are being compared. Furthermore, this study does not find any meaningful difference in any factor while comparing under-30-year-old (Gen Y’s) and over-30-year-old groups.
