Smith equivalence and finite Oliver groups with Laitinen number 0 or 1 Krzysztof

In 1960, Paul A. Smith asked the following question. If a finite group G acts smoothly on a sphere with exactly two fixed points, is it true that the tangent G-modules at the two points are always isomorphic? We focus on the case G is an Oliver group and we present a classification of finite Oliver groups G with Laitinen number aG = 0 or 1. Then we show that the Smith Isomorphism Question has a...

RFID: Consumer Fears and Consumer Protection RFID introduction is a hotly debated public policy issue. The technology enables physical environments to become more interactive and supportive by tagging each item with a chip that wirelessly communicates with a service-enriched backend infrastructure. Based on a number of user studies at Humboldt-Universität and at the Auto-ID Center, this article...

In contrast to prior studies examining strategic alliances as a discrete governance structure (e.g., alliance versus M&A), we investigate their particular contractual features. A focus on the contractual provisions that firms employ in alliances also permits a more finegrained understanding of alliance design relative to broad taxonomies of collaborative agreements that are currently in use (e....
