A new study in Engineering offers a carbon-coupled network charge-guided bi-level interactive optimization method. It focuses on optimal peer-to-peer (P2P) coupled electricity and carbon trading among prosumers in distribution networks. The method aims to address the challenges from distributed renewable energy and has been proven effective in a case study, bringing potential benefits to network operation and the energy transition.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the platform economy, logistics service strategies in platform supply chains (PSCs) are crucial for efficient operations. A new study published in Engineering delves into self-built logistics (SBL), third-party logistics (3PL), and logistics service sharing (LSS) in PSCs. It uncovers key research topics, influencing factors, and offers insights into future research directions, providing valuable guidance for both academic research and industry decision-making.

Knowledge theft is about intentionally claiming unjustifiable ownership of somebody else’s contributions, including ideas and work products such as presentations, systems or solutions to a business problem. It not only undermines employee trust and morale but also poses a serious threat to the success of knowledge management initiatives. Organizations must recognize the risk that knowledge theft poses to their intellectual capital and adopt proactive strategies to foster a culture of ethical behavior, protect knowledge assets, and support employees in rebuilding trust and collaboration after such events.
