Comparative Analysis of Profit Model of Typical Pharmaceutical O2O Enterprises in China

Objective To study the profit model of Chinese pharmaceutical O2O enterprises.Methods A case study of three typical pharmaceutical O2O enterprises was conducted,and their profit models were compared.Results and Conclusion The pharmaceutical O2O enterprises in China are divided into three categories according to the profit models.It is found that the current pharmaceutical O2O enterprises have problems such as simple profit model and low corporate profits.Based on these problems,it is recommended that relevant enterprises develop various business models to increase profit channels.Besides,they should establish and improve internal cost control systems.

Profitability Prediction Model for NPD Projects Under RisK

Only a few successful new product development （NPD） projects are continuously supported by the firm when they are expected to assure profitability in the market. The profitability of a project is measured as profit ratio （PR）, the profit is divided by the cost. The profit figure is changed depending on either internal risks or uncertainties occurring externally. More risks require higher response costs to them and uncontrollable uncertainties affect NPD projects either positively or negatively. In this study, a PR model is developed to predict the profitability of a project at a given time. The model minimizes the response cost computed under two extreme response strategies, such as ＂Avoid＂ and ＂Acceptance＂ for the internal threats. Also, the model reflects the sales volume changes due to external uncertainties. The linear programming （LP） method determines the optimal probability of the response strategy under three scenarios of defining the relationship between risk avoidance and risk acceptance. It can be utilized to make a GO/NOGO decision on the project based on the prediction results at any gate of the NPD process. The solving procedure is provided to apply the developed model for real cases.

Finally, the research detailed profit sharing of agricultural product supply chain in the context of asymmetric information and proposed suggestions, providing references of pricing and profit sharing of supply chains of agricultural products.

Analysis of profit models for cross-border power interconnection projects

With the increasing demand worldwide for power grid interconnection,a growing number of related projects are under planning or construction.Despite the rapid growth of cross-border interconnection projects,the systematic research on profit models for these projects is insufficient.This paper first analyzes the profit sources of interconnection projects.Based on the analysis results,profit models are considered under different regulatory systems for three types of crossborder interconnection projects:fully market-oriented,semi-marketization,and fully supervised.Finally,measures for increasing the profitability and sustainable development of power interconnection projects are proposed.

Trading Strategies for All Stock Programs

Market traders buy and sell volatile assets frequently,with a goal to maximize their total return.There is usually a commission for each purchase and sale.Two such assets are gold and bitcoin.In order to solve the existing issues of purchases between gold and bitcoin,given that we have 1,000 USD,what strategies should we take to maximize our profits?In this article,the authors established seven models to predict the value of gold and bitcoins and how you should buy them,as the trends of value fluctuate,our models must be accurate enough to avoid being influenced.Targeted at that,the content is divided into three parts.For part 1:The authors selected several indicators that feature how the stock runs.For instance,price of gold and profit of gold to build first two models,which are the risk of investment model and the judgment on bull-or-bear market model.Then we use these models to evaluate whether it is safe to invest.The models are as follows:bear-bull market judgment model,risk of investment evaluation model,prediction model,trade model.For part 2:Based on the data concerned,the authors established the time series model to predict the way the market fluctuates.Meanwhile,the result of this model can be applied in correcting the results of former two models so as to make it more accurate.For part 3:The authors combined models above to give the best trading strategy.In addition,we improved the models by adding more indicators to make it more precise.We hope that by applying our models and strategies,you can successfully maximize your profit.

Public Transport Service Provisions and Policy Implications for Columbarium Trips

Grave-sweeping is one of the popular special events in Asian cities,especiallyin Chinese societies,in which families express filial piety to their ancestors during two traditional grave-sweeping festivalsin a year.The extraordinary high travel demandis often attracted to columbaria within a relative short period around the festivals,and induces severe impacts to the local traffic.It is challenging for the government and private operators to formulatea public transport service setting to satisfactorily cater all the visitors'travel demand.This paper aims to proposean optimization frameworkto identifythe optimalprovisions of public transport services for columbarium trips to achieve consumer surplus or profit maximization.Numerical studies are carried out usingthe travel demand data collected from a selected columbarium,to examine the effects of different public transport service settings to the policyobjectivesin variouscases.The modelresults showthat the current situation is neither consumer surplus nor profit optimum.Improvement schemes are suggested in relation to allow various fares during different visit periods and provide multiple public transport feeder services to serve the visitors during the high travel demand period.
