Most medical devices do not hit the market through rigorous safety testing but by being deemed similar enough to something already approved—the “predicate” device through a mechanism known as the FDA’s 510(k) pathway. But similar is not a synonym for safe. While the assumption may be that substantial equivalence is a reasonable stand-in for a safety review, a share of devices cleared with this method still get recalled, and the FDA spends valuable time reviewing devices the same way, regardless of how risky it is on paper.

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.
