In this paper we examine the sourcing strategies of clothing firms in the developed economies of the UK and Germany in the context of their national institutional framework. We argue that, as a result of their embeddedness in divergent national structures, these firms pursue different sourcing strategies and make different locational choices. We place particular emphasis on the different mix of...

Dependencies among intentional actors is a fundamental feature of i* Modelling. By depending on others, an actor can achieve much beyond what it can by itself. At the same time, the dependent actor becomes vulnerable to the failings of dependees. However, even when dependees are fully fulfilling expectations, over time, depending on other actors can result in structures that are hard to change....

This paper applies and further develops a research model of the relationships between business model dimensions, intrinsic and extrinsic attributes of mobile services, and their perceived end-user values (Pedersen and Methlie, 2004). The model suggests a set of hypotheses on the effects of service providers’ choice of revenue model, governance form and service strategy on direct network effects...

In risky and other multiattribute choices, the process of choosing is well described by random walk or drift diffusion models in which evidence is accumulated over time to threshold. In strategic choices, level-k and cognitive hierarchy models have been offered as accounts of the choice process, in which people simulate the choice processes of their opponents or partners. We recorded the eye mo...

An induced value laboratory experiment is conducted to explore the vulnerability of discrete choice experiments strategic misrepresentation preferences. We consider behaviour arise when an agent: (i) believes will be used determine a provision decision over set alternatives; and (ii) has expectations about relative likelihood those alternatives being selected delivered. In experiment, agents re...
