We design polar codes for empirical coordination and strong coordination in two-node networks. Our constructions hinge on the fact that polar codes enable explicit low complexity schemes for soft covering. We leverage this property to propose explicit and low-complexity coding schemes that achieve the capacity regions of both empirical coordination and strong coordination for sequences of actio...

Coordinating activities among members of a distribution channel has been a subject of great attention in the past two decades. Among various methods to coordinate independent channel members, a number of studies in the literature suggest quantity discount as a mechanism to achieve incentive-compatible coordination between a manufacturer and his retailer. The rationale behind this coordination m...

nowday, with technology progress and the emergence of new business models, increased levels of competition and changing demands and expectations of customers, using multi channels of distribution is growing rapidly. using multiple distribution channels, despite having advantages, have many challenges as coordination and integration of these channels with high efficiency and eliminate these chal...

We investigate the problem of simultaneous transmission and coordination for a point-to-point communication model. The encoder and decoder choose their symbols/actions (i.e. channel input and decoder output) in order to transmit information and to coordinate themselves. This paradigm has promising repercussions for future decentralized networks. Exploiting the coordination capabilities, devices...

Purpose This study aims to understand how integration efforts at both communication and channel levels can foster customer engagement behavior in the retail sector from perspective of employees. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through 231 face-to-face questionnaires completed by frontline employees shopping centers. A structural equation modeling approach was applied test propos...

Most studies on supply chain coordination assume that consumers are rational. However, with the development of e-commerce, consumer-bounded rationality has become an important issue respect to coordination. Based assumption some loyal offline shop and others reference-dependent, this article examines mechanism vertical restraints their competitive effects. This research study found compared rat...

This paper surveys the field of channel-based coordination models for component composition. Composition of systems out of components can be done by interaction on a component level or by coordinating components from the outside. Coordination from the outside, also called exogenous coordination, imposes many advantages to software systems like easy reusability and maintainability or the ability...
