The National Electronics Manufacturing Initiative's (NEMI) plug and play Factory Project addressed the issues of how to quickly integrate new pieces of electronics assembly equipment into a shop floor line management system and how to manage the vast amounts of data available in today's electronics manufacturing environment. The necessary technical infrastructure was designed, developed, and de...

Service bundling can be regarded as an option for service providers to strengthen their competitive advantages, cope with dynamic market conditions and heterogeneous consumer demand.

We consider a simple tournament model with two stages and compare two information conditions: Either intermediate information on the subjects’ relative positions after the first stage is available or it is not. According to our theoretical predictions, equilibrium behavior in both stages is not affected by intermediate information. In laboratory experiments, we also find no difference between a...
