Outsourcing suppliers as downstream competitors: Biting the hand that feeds
In this paper, we highlight an aspect of supplier opportunism in the outsourcing paradox that has largely been ignored by extant research – the supplier as a direct competitor of the buyer firm. In light of this paradox, we offer a game-theoretic framework in which we identify conditions under which firms could alleviate or mitigate this outsourcing problem. Our results show that apart from tra...
متن کاملBlood donor deferrals: biting the hand that feeds us!
I n this issue of TRANSFUSION, the article by Zou and colleagues details trends in donor deferral and retention using the American Red Cross database. The power of the study is the enormous experience culled from almost half the nation’s blood supply. Prominent among the observations are the increasing deferrals for failing to achieve minimum hemoglobin (Hb)/ hematocrit (Hct) criteria and for d...
متن کاملBiting the hand that feeds: Rpn4-dependent feedback regulation of proteasome function.
The 26S proteasome of eukaryotic cells mediates ubiquitin-dependent as well as ubiquitin-independent degradation of proteins in many regulatory processes as well as in protein quality control. The proteasome itself is a dynamic complex with varying compositions and interaction partners. Studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have revealed that expression of proteasome subunit genes is coordinately...
متن کاملPGE2 and PAR-1 in pulmonary fibrosis: a case of biting the hand that feeds you?
MOST MEMBRANE RECEPTORS in mammalian systems are seventransmembrane domain G protein-coupled receptors. Proteinase (or protease)-activated receptors (PARs) are a novel family of G protein-coupled receptors. Unlike other G protein-coupled receptors that require ligand binding for activation, PARs are activated upon cleavage of their extracellular NH2 terminus by serine proteases such as thrombin...
متن کاملToxoplasma control of host apoptosis: the art of not biting too hard the hand that feeds you
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite that is able to infect a multitude of different vertebrate hosts and can survive in virtually any nucleated cell. The tachyzoite form of the parasite is very efficient at actively invading its host cells, where it establishes itself in a parasitophorous vacuole (PV). In this non fusogenic vacuole, the parasite is able to escape degradation...
