We de ne the notion of social conventions in a standard game theoretic framework and identify various criteria of consistency of such conventions with the principle of individual rationality We then investigate the emergence of such conventions in a stochastic setting we do so within a stylized framework currently popular in economic circles namely that of stochastic games This framework comes ...

today’s competition is promoted from firm against firm to supply chain versus supply chain, globalization and competition is a common phenomenon so each organization should make its supply chain as a weapon against the others, in doing so this paper presented a conceptual, graphical, step by step methodology to construct supply chain strategies by integrating strategic management’s theories, ap...

almost all countries in the world are party to the rio conventions. this entails a number of responsibilities, including reporting periodically on aspects of environmental health and national implementation of the convention. these reports can cover hundreds of pages, so completing reports is often a significant undertaking. since countries can be party to numerous multilateral environmental ag...

The flat-space limit of the one-loop effective potential for SO(10) GUT theories in spatially flat Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmologies is applied to study the dynamics of the early universe. The numerical integration of the corresponding field equations shows that, for such grand unified theories, a sufficiently long inflationary stage is achieved for suitable choices of the initial conditio...
