Information rules - a strategic guide to the network economy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The main thesis of this book is that while technology may change, economic laws do not. The authors, Carl Shapiro and Hal Varian point out that the information economy is driven by advances in information technology and infrastructure. What is new is, not the total amount of information available but our ability to manipulate information across industries. Technology is allowing people to do more with the same information, by improving access and reducing the cost of storing and transmitting information.

Antitrust in Software Markets
In this paper, we provide an integrated economic framework for conducting antitrust policy in software markets. We identify four fundamental economic characteristics of software markets critical to antitrust analysis: (1) systems and network effects; (2) low marginal costs relative to average costs; (3) software as a durable good; and (4) rapid technological change. We then compare actual antit...

In this brave new world, the economics of networks takes on greater importance in comparison with traditional economies of scale. This paper explores the implications of the s...
متن کاملImproving Lifetime of Strategic Information Network in Oil Supply Chain
Today, information networks play an important role in supply chain management. Therefore, in this article, clustering-based routing protocols, which are one of the most important ways to reduce energy consumption in wireless sensor networks, are used to optimize the supply chain informational cloud network. Accordingly, first, a clustering protocol is presented using self-organizing map neu...

متن کاملEmploying Sensor Network to Guide Firefighters in Dangerous Area
In this paper, we intend to focus on the sensor network applications in firefighting. A distributed algorithm is developed for the sensor network to guide firefighters through a burning area. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property to adapt itself against possible changes. The protocol developed, will integrate the artificial potential ...
