This paper investigates a typical two-sided micro-level business model of IS enabled transportation network. Specifically, we focus on how two-sided sales promotion interacts with users’ learning about attribute, and measure the effectiveness of sales promotion for their platform introductions.

This paper studies two stochastic Models (A) and (B) with bulk production and bulk sales of products with catastrophe. The system has infinite storing capacity and the production and sales sizes are finite valued random variables with finite maximum production and sales sizes. When a catastrophe occurs the entire stocks are sold. Matrix partitioning method is used to study the models. In Model ...

Due to the fact that assets are recorded at their historical value and they may include unrealized gains (losses), managers may manipulate earnings through the sale of these assets and provide financial information which is not accurate and reliable. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between income from asset sales, earnings change and leverage of companies listed on Tehr...
