Understanding the business value of IT has mostly been studied in developed countries, but because most investment in developing countries is derived from external sources, the influence of that investment on business value is likely to be different. We test this notion using a two-layer model. We examine the impact of IT investments on firm processes, and the relationship of these processes to...

Generation and exploitation of knowledge became one of the most significant components in the new economy. This paper first investigates influence of information and communications technology on economy, with specific emphasis on Internet economy and electronic commerce. The paper then describes characteristics of the knowledge economy, discusses knowledge, presents main issues relevant for bui...

When an academic, scientist, or research engineer harps on about the knowledge-based economy, it’s hard to take as anything other than shameless self-serving hyperbole. Knowledge is, after all, what these people are supposed to be producing, and now here they are, telling the rest of us that that’s what drives the economy. Combine those self-promoting tendencies with the superficial observation...

Consider an exchange economy with complete information. We perturb this economy by assuming that each agent’s observation about the true state of the world is noisy. The paper investigates the robustness of equilibria of the complete information economy with respect to incomplete information. We provide conditions under which complete information equilibria are limits of equilibria of the econo...

Abstract This article aims to provide theoretical model for analyzing challenge of asymmetric information in the third sector of economy (which is the most important challenge, preventing the growth and development of third sector), using the theoretical foundation of contract theory and incentive theory with regard to the special characteristics of third sector derived by its special structur...

15 December 2012 We consider the problem of sharing retailer’s demand information in a supply chain with two competing manufacturers selling substitutable products through a common retailer. We consider several scenarios with the manufacturers facing either production diseconomy or economy, and the retailer offering information contracts either concurrently or sequentially to the manufacturers....
