Costco and Amazon subscription services were just the beginning. Consumers can now subscribe to a pickle-of-the-month club, monthly shipments of coloring books, bimonthly boxes of survival tools, and more. Traditional subscription services, such as newspaper or milk deliveries to people’s homes, have been around for decades. But subscription-based home delivery services have become increasingly ubiquitous for other categories of physical products as well. I’m a researcher who studies logistics and supply chain management and has worked with companies in South America, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the U.S. to cut operational expenses using cost-effective strategies such as improved delivery routing and scheduling. Based on my research and experience, I believe that a more effective solution exists. But first, let’s take a closer look at the problem and the strategies companies are using today. @retailopsprof mitsmr.com/48ZN853

This year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that female participation in the labour market did not have an upward trend over a 200 year period, but instead forms a U-shaped curve. The participation of married women decreased with the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the early nineteenth century, but then started to increase with the growth of the service sector in the early twentieth century. Goldin explained this pattern as the result of structural change and evolving social norms regarding women’s responsibilities for home and family. #NobelPrize
