Motivated by recent empirical observations made in industries like the automobile industry, this paper employs an agent-based industry simulation model to examine the strategic relationship between product diversification strategies in an industry and some aspects of the product innovation strategy of a single producer. In particular, it is established that an increase in the average degree of ...

As we outline a movement beyond the apparent creative stagnation in the videogames industry we envision possible transformations, beyond the gridlock a producer-consumer dichotomy, that propose to mobilize players as creative actors in a holistic experience. We propose to recognize the authoring roles players develop in their relation to the industry and the gaming community, that configure an ...

The literature on strategic alliances is vast. Most authors are pro-alliances and the casual reader may thereby be lulled into a false sense of security concerning the advantages of strategic alliances. There are several possible advantages of strategic alliances however by joining an alliance several opportunities are also forsaken. The opposite strategic option, a "go it alone strategy" gener...

This paper concerns income taxation, commodity taxation, production taxation and public good provision in a multi-jurisdiction framework with transboundary environmental damage. We assume that each jurisdiction is large in the sense that its government is able to influence the world-market producer price of the externality-generating commodity. The decision-problem facing the government in each...

Introduction Historically, India is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses. Although it is the world’s largest pulses producer, there is still a huge shortage of pulses and also, the prices are not affordable to a large section of consumers. An immediate need is the development and dissemination of low-cost technologies in pulses production, so that they can be affordable to the ...

This paper examines some standard open-economy New Keynesian models to address the question of how globalisation affects the inflation process. Specifically, it investigates how the Phillips curve for consumer price inflation in a country is affected by openness, and how the optimal choice of monetary policy is influenced by openness. The paper compares models that assume producer currency pric...

This article reviews prior academic research on end of life (EOL) product recovery, a component of extended producer responsibility (EPR), focusing on the management literature. Both non-market and market pressures are driving companies to take greater responsibility for their EOL products, including taking them back from customers. Several ideas are proposed for further research that would be ...

We consider a single item Production-Inventory-Routing problem with a single producer/supplier and multiple retailers. Inventory management constraints are considered both at the producer and at the retailers, following a vendor managed inventory approach, where the supplier monitors the inventory at retailers and decides on the replenishment policy for each retailer. We assume a constant produ...

Abstract: The movement pattern of mobile producer plays an important role in mobility performance analysis the wireless and network. However, behavior is directly affecting handoff latency signaling overhead cost. Many researchers provide analytical investigation to analyze solve problems compared with simulation result. To justify between investigation, node needs be included make it possible ...
