Incentive profit-sharing rules joined with open-book accounting in SME networks

چکیده
Profit-sharing rules applied together with open-book accounting are a synergetic combination that encourages SME networks to continuous innovation. This paper studies profit-sharing rules that work as incentives for cost reduction in networks. We describe a case study of a steel-roof manufacturing and assembly network, where profit sharing became relevant shortly after open-book accounting was successfully implemented. Moreover, we present a dynamic game theoretic model for the study of the desired characteristics of profit-sharing rules in such networks. We find that, under quite general assumptions, profit-sharing rules need to satisfy certain conditions in order to encourage the network partners to announce their cost-reducing ideas immediately. A suitable and simple profit-sharing rule is the combination rule which rewards the innovator and the target of cost reduction.

متن کاملABIDE: A Bid-Based Economic Incentive Model for Enticing Non-cooperative Peers in Mobile-P2P Networks
In mobile ad-hoc peer-to-peer (M-P2P) networks, a large percentage of the mobile peers typically do not provide any service to the network, thereby motivating incentive schemes for enticing non-cooperative mobile peers to provide service. We propose ABIDE, a novel bid-based economic incentive model for enticing non-cooperative mobile peers to provide service in M-P2P networks. The main contribu...
