Competing interactions create functionality through frustration.
L ike Buridan’s Ass—and somewhat ironically—we often feel frustrated if given more choice than expected. Yet, the converse appears to be true as well. Frustration that results from the impossibility of satisfying all competing interests simultaneously itself implies a greater diversity of distinct behaviors for the overall system. Nature seems to use just this unsettling device of built-in conf...
متن کاملQuantum spin nanotubes--frustration, competing orders and criticalities.
Recent developments of theoretical studies on spin nanotubes are reviewed, especially focusing on the S = 1/2 three-leg spin tube. In contrast to the three-leg spin ladder, the tube has a spin gap in the case of the regular-triangle unit cell when the rung interaction is sufficiently large. The effective theory based on the Hubbard Hamiltonian indicates a quantum phase transition to a gapless s...
متن کاملCompeting Through Customization: Using Human Resource Management to Create Strategic Capabilities
Given the increasingly diverse customer preferences, customization has become a strategic opportunity for organizations to create value. There is no systematic effort, however, in understanding the implementation of customization as a competitive strategy. Based on theories of resources and capabilities and the multidimensional view of economic rents, we derive three strategies of customization...
متن کاملPotts models with competing interactions
The mock A N N N I model is generalised in replacing the Ising spins by q-state Potts variables. Performing exact dedecoration transformations for general q and using Monte Carlo techniques in two dimensions for q = 3, a multitude of distinct spatially modulated long-range ordered phases, as well as phases with algebraic order, are found 10 spring from a multiphase point.
متن کاملCompeting Through Information Provision∗
This paper studies the symmetric equilibria of a two-buyer, two-seller model of directed search in which sellers commit to information provision. More informed buyers have better differentiated private valuations and extract higher rents from trade. I establish how the characteristics of exogenously fixed sale mechanisms determine equilibrium information provision and show that competition gene...
