The need for a symbol to warn of potential infection hazards became apparent during Public Health Service contract work on the development of containment facilities for virus-leukemia research. A program of direct inquiry and a search of the literature revealed that there was no universally used signal and that scientific and safety organizations concurred in the need for one. Criteria for symbol design were established, and final section was based on “uniqueness” and “memorability.” The National Institutes of Health is recommending use of the symbol as a warning of biological hazard.

In this paper, we study a pricing and after-sales service contract design problem, where a retailer purchases products from a manufacturer and then sells to the consumers. The sales cost is the retailer’s private information and might be mined by the manufacturer via advanced learning algorithms and related big data techniques. We first develop a crisp equivalent model, based on which the optimal contracts and the supply chain parties’ profits under asymmetric information are derived. We show that, compared with the optimal wholesale price and after-sales service level with symmetric information, asymmetric cost information makes the wholesale price distorted upward when the retailer’s sales cost is low. When the retailer’s cost is high, the after-sales service level is distorted downward. We characterize the manufacturer’s loss and the retailer’s gains due to asymmetric sales cost information. This helps the manufacturer make the investment decision of big data techniques. Interestingly, we find that the retailer might voluntary disclose the sales cost information, which results in a win-win situation for the manufacturer and the retailer. This makes the manufacturer less favor big data techniques. Finally, we conduct extensive sensitivity analysis with respect to the retailer’s sales cost, the consumer’s sensitivity to the retailer’s after-sale service level, and the fraction of high-type retailers in the market.
