We have designed an inventory model for seasonal products in which deterioration can be controlled by item preservation technology investment. Demand for the product is considered price sensitive and decreases linearly. This study has shown that the profit is a concave function of optimal selling price, replenishment time and preservation cost parameter. We simultaneously determined the optimal...

We describe a virtual marketplace where buying and selling agents that learn from experience enter the market with an ’attitude’ (a mental state) formulated as a complex function of prior experience(s), market conditions, product information as well as personal characteristics such as importance of time vs. importance of price and the commitment level to the purchase/sale of the product.

According to the Fundamental Motives Framework, basic goals such as protecting oneself, forming coalitions, and avoiding disease have emerged as a result of evolutionary processes to enhance reproductive fitness. This article introduces the Situational Affordances for Adaptive Problems (SAAP), a measure of situation characteristics that promotes or prevents the achievement of these evolutionari...
