چکیده
This study explains the mismatch between the planned domain of integrated infomiation systems and the existing territorial rationalities. We define a territorial rationality as a collective perspective which serves as a philosophical basis or a conceptual lens for decision-making. We define a territorial entity as members of an organization (or organizations) who hold this territorial rationality. When these territorial entities interact among each other, their territorial rationaliues are transformed by three major modes: authority, exchange, and persuasion. These new concepts can be used to predict how multiple subunits in organizations strategically respond to the integration of disparate information systems. Possible themes for the responses range from local autonomy versus central control, to knowledge diffusion versus knowledge specialization, to resource redistribution versus resource alignment. We argue that the changes in territorial rationalities and entities explain the divergent organizational responses to the integration of information systems.

We study a model of a stochastic transportation system introduced by Crane. By adapting constructions of multidimensional reflected Brownian motion (RBM) that have since been developed for feedforward queueing networks, we generalize Crane's original functional central limit theorem results to a full \ector setting, giving an explicit development for the case in which all terminals in the model...

We study a class of continuous time optimal entry-exit decisions under uncertainty for a single firm and for a duopoly. Under very general hypotheses, the optimal policy for a single firm exists and is unique. This unique optimal policy is a barrier policy: A firm optimally enters or exits from an industry when the demand reaches certain barriers. In the context of a duopoly, there may exist mu...
