An attempt is made in this article to identify the success and failure factors in organizational change and learning process. The empirical study was made by following an organization-wide project that aims at changing pricing practices in highly decentralized sub-units through the efforts of corporate head office. The results show that the highly decentralized organizational structure and the ...

Enterprises with transparent boundaries, decentralized organizational structure, and constantly increasing requirements on IT flexibility, is a novel generation of organizations of 2020s. This paper elaborates on how the Enterprise Architecture (EA) can better support such organizations. We analyze three types of organizational structure: centralized, federated and decentralized. First, we iden...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are characterized by decentralized control, large-scale and extreme dynamism of their environment. Developing applications that can cope with these characteristics requires a paradigm shift that puts adaptation, resilience and self-organization as primary concerns. Complex adaptive systems (CAS), commonly used to explain the behavior of many biological and social syst...

In the operations management literature, decentralization is often associated with the double marginalization problem. However, in this chapter, we review several existing papers that demonstrate how decentralization can be beneficial to supply chain performance. A key premise in this literature is that consumers are strategic: They rationally anticipate and respond to future market conditions....

The decentralized propose of wise-store is semantic responsive organization. Decentralized design improves system scalability and reduces query latency for composite metadata queries. It is hold up different composite queries in resourceful such as top-k and search queries. So we can develop the large storage file system in Exabyte – Level system with billions of files. It has functionality and...

In this paper,a coordination model has been investigated for a two-level supply chain (SC) consisting of one retailer and one supplier under periodic review inventory system. The review period and the retailer’s safety factorare assumed to be decision variables. The retailer faces stochastic demand following a normal distribution with known mean and variance. Moreover, it is assumed that unmet ...

Companion papers develop a model of real-time hierarchical computation of resource allocations by boundedly rational members of an administrative staa. The nodes of a hierarchy are ooces within which information processing may be decentralized. Decision making is decentralized across the nodes of the hierarchy. A version in which the cost functions are quadratic and the cost parameters follow r...
