Realism versus Strategic Culture: Competition and Collaboration?

The MISO Interference Channel: Competition versus Collaboration

We consider the problem of coordinating two competing multiple-antenna wireless systems (operators) that operate in the same spectral band. We formulate a rate region which is achievable by scalar coding followed by power allocation and beamforming. We show that all interesting points on the Pareto boundary correspond to transmit strategies where both systems use the maximum available power. We...

Membrane Research in a Global Context Requires Collaboration, not Competition!

Relationship between Assertiveness and physician-nurse collaboration with Safety Culture

Introduction and Aims: Improving patient safety is one of the main pillars of health services. On the other hand, the professional communication between the health team members and some personality characteristics of nurses, such as Assertiveness, can affect the quality of services provided to the patient. Therefore, this study aimed to determine how safety culture is associated with nurse-phys...

Strategic Trade and Delegated Competition∗

Strategic trade theory has been criticized on the grounds that its predictions are overly sensitive to modeling assumptions. Applying recent results in duopoly theory, this paper considers three-stage games in which governments choose subsidies, firms’ owners choose incentive schemes for their managers, and then the managers compete in the product market. We show that if firms’ owners have suff...

Collaboration and Competition in Research

Collaboration and competition are increasing both within and between research organizations, leading to new questions for research management and science policy. Increasing collaboration is reflected by a growing average number of coauthors in all fields (Hicks and Katz, 1996; Wuchty et al., 2007). Sometimes this is seen as a perverse effect of extremely stretched competition, and not so much a...
