TY - GEN AB - This book introduces the most advanced and recent theoretical research on innovative priority mechanisms in service settings. It covers cutting-edge topics on service innovations such as line-sitting, service-position-trading, referral priority programs, queue-scalping, distance-based priority, and dynamic priority policy. It also contains a variety of practical examples and applications which help managers to make better decisions and to develop a coherent business strategy. This book appeals to a wide readership, from academics and Ph.D. students who are interested in priority mechanisms, to service managers and researchers in the service industry. This is an open access book. AU - Cui, Shiliang, AU - Wang, Zhongbin, AU - Yang, Luyi, CN - T57.9 DO - 10.1007/978-3-031-30841-3 DO - doi ID - 1469422 KW - Queuing theory.
