The INFORMS Analytics+ Conference showcased how companies are turning advanced analytics and AI into measurable operational results
Museums take this educational role seriously, and many institutions understand the need to sustain and broaden their appeal. “They used to be these big ivory towers of knowledge and history and thought and art,” said Hilary Knight, director of Change& in London and former director of digital at Tate. “Museums themselves are changing their role to be centers for discussion and encounter and to be much more participatory.”
President Donald Trump is back at it with his tariff threats for pharma, promising massive levies on generic drug imports starting in 2028.
The president’s proposal — which was announced on Truth Social and has yet to be solidified via an official proclamation or notice — is framed as a push to encourage domestic drug manufacturing.
Trump outlined a 100% tariff on generic drugs originating from outside the U.S. starting on Aug. 1, 2028, which would be increased to 200% the following year.
But the conditions that have long kept generic drug manufacturing out of the U.S. largely haven’t changed and Trump’s most recent plan might only succeed in making drugs more expensive while failing to bring factories stateside, according to Tinglong Dai, the Bernard T. Ferrari professor of business at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.

Conventional wisdom suggests that counterfeit luxury goods are primarily purchased by consumers who cannot afford authentic products.
New research published in the INFORMS journal Marketing Science challenges that assumption, finding that both lower- and higher-income consumers are significantly more likely to purchase counterfeit goods than middle-income consumers.
If public companies are increasingly focused on meeting quarterly earnings expectations, what happens to the innovations that require years of investment and patience to develop?
New research published in the INFORMS journal Management Science suggests the answer could have far-reaching implications for businesses, investors and the broader economy. The study found that companies facing greater short-term financial pressures tend to produce fewer breakthrough and novel innovations, the kinds of discoveries that can shape industries for decades.
Consumers often assume that choosing more environmentally friendly products helps reduce environmental harm. New research suggests the reality may be more complicated.
As demand for eco-sensitive products grows, some companies respond in ways that can unintentionally increase sales of older, less efficient products, potentially offsetting some of the environmental benefits consumers hope to achieve.
Many technology startups assume that if they want global success, they need global customers from the very beginning.
New research suggests the opposite may be true.
Startups can improve their chances of succeeding in foreign markets when they first focus on learning from users closer to home.
A new study from INFORMS suggests warehouse robots perform better when they work together instead of operating independently.
