چکیده

In strategic prospective, scenario thinking and negotiation processes, the analysis of the actor game plays an important role. Such an analysis intends to rank the stakeholders’ positions on many strategic issues, assess the convergences and divergences, and anticipates coalitions and conflicts. Many models and tools have been proposed and used which rest on matrix analysis, game theory and simulation. The paper examines two of them: Mactor, a model of scenario planning, and a negotiation model derived from a game theory based political decision model. The paper detects the flaws, similarities and differences. Based on this comparison, the paper proposes a new model, called MASAM, with the advantages of both, but without their detected flaws. The model and its associated tool have been applied for assessing the public WLAN landscape. The paper sketches the first results which have to be integrated in a more sophisticated scenario analysis. RÉSUMÉ: Dans les approches prospectivistes et autres processus de négociation, l’analyse du jeu des acteurs joue un rôle important. Ce type d’analyse étudie la position des acteurs, évalue leurs divergences et convergences ; on essaie notamment d’anticiper les conflits et les coalitions. Plusieurs modèles et outils ont été proposés et utilisés avec plus ou moins de succès. Cet article examine deux d’entre eux : l’un (Mactor) basé sur une analyse matricielle et destiné à s’intégrer dans une approche par scénario, l’autre, une déclinaison de modèles de négociation basés sur la théorie des jeux. Cet article détecte les similarités, les points forts et les déficiences de ces deux approches. Il propose ensuite un modèle fédérateur, avec les avantages des deux approches mais sans leurs déficiences constatées. Ce modèle a été appliqué à une évaluation du paysage technologique des réseaux publiques sans fil (WiFi). Les premiers résultats de cette évaluation sont communiqués ; ils constituent la première partie d’une démarche plus ambitieuse de construction de scénarios dans ce contexte.

An Insight into the Model Structures Applied in DEA-Based Bank Branch Efficiency Measurements

In this paper, we focus on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)-based model structures have been used in assessing bank branch efficiency. Probing the methodologies of 75 published studies at the branch level since 1985 to early 2015, we found that these models can be divided into four categories: standard basic DEA models, single level and multi-level models, enriched (hybrid) models and specia...

Models of multi-attribute decision-making: implications for institutional analysis and design

Institutions are governance tools. They are useful only if they impact on behaviour: of citizens, and of those administering the legal system. Models of behaviour are therefore crucial for institutional analysis and design. In light of this, this paper draws lessons for institutional analysis and design resulting from the models of multi-attribute decision-making assembled in this special issue...
