We consider a decentralized LQG measurement scheduling problem in which every measurement is costly, no communication between observers is permitted, and the observers' estimation errors are coupled quadratically. This setup, motivated by considerations from organization theory, models measurement scheduling problems in which cost, bandwidth, or security constraints necessitate that estimates b...

In this research, we claim to join the efforts of practitioners and researchers provide managerial responses an unprecedented health crisis such as COVID-19. To do this, study concept 'collective resilience' a mechanism for responding in Tunisian context. The aim research is explain impact collective resilience processes on ability organizations withstand crisis. We conducted sixteen semi-struc...

This review classifies the existing studies on decentralized assembly systems into two branches. The first branch focuses on equilibrium decisions. The other branch pays attention to the coordination mechanism. This paper enables readers to get the knowledge of research status of decentralized assembly systems. Directions of future research are also discussed in this paper.

Wide area networks offer access to an increasing number and variety of resources, such as documents, software, and network services. Yet, it is difficult to locate resources of interest, because of the scale and decentralized nature of the environment. We are interested in supporting a global confederation of loosely cooperating systems and users that share far more resources than can be comple...

In this paper, I explore a natural experiment of organizational change from decentralization to centralization in a leading Chinese newspaper. Using a di¤erences-in-di¤erences approach, I …nd that centralization substantially increases the journalists’performance in the dimension desired by the newspaper. I provide evidence that the journalists whose jobs are potentially associated with larger ...

Decentralized autonomous organizations are a new form of smart contract based governance. organization platforms, which support the creation such organizations, becoming increasingly popular, as Aragon and Colony. Selecting best fitting platform is challenging for significant number decision criteria, popularity, developer availability, governance issues, consistent documentation should be cons...

In the latter part of the 1990s, many companies have worked to foster a 'matrix' style culture through several changes in organizational structure. This type of culture facilitates communication and development of new technology across organizational and global boundaries. At Glaxo Wellcome, this matrix culture is reflected in an automation strategy that relies on both centralized and decentral...

Social norms help people self-organizing in many situations where having an authority representative is not feasible. On the contrary to institutional rules, the responsibility to enforce social norms is not the task of a central authority but a task of each member of the society. “The social norms I am talking about are not the formal, prescriptive or proscriptive rules designed, imposed, and ...

The emerging grassroots party Barcelona en Comú won the 2015 Barcelona City Council election. This candidacy was devised by activists involved in the Spanish 15M movement to transform citizen outrage into political change. On the one hand, the 15M movement was based on a decentralized structure. On the other hand, political science literature postulates that parties develop oligarchical leaders...
