We study a dynamic duopoly model with differentiated products and network externalities. New consumers appear each period and the value of the product depends on the size of the network in the current and in the previous period, for example due…

We consider an assemble-to-order system with a high volume of prospective customers arriving per unit time. Our objective is to maximize expected infinite horizon discounted profit by choosing product prices, component production capacities, and…

We consider an assemble-to-order system with a high volume of prospective customers arriving per unit time. A companion paper established that with optimal product prices, component production capacity, and sequencing of orders for assembly, the…

The Blackwell Encyclopedic Dictionary of Organizational Behavior provides clear, concise and informative definitions and explanations of key concepts and issues.

Compiled by the most influential authors in the field, CLASSICS OF ORGANIZATION THEORY is a collection of the most enduring works in organization theory. Designed for those new to the field, the text helps students grasp the important themes,…

How can one predict entrepreneurship, an individual’s participation in the founding of a new organization? We propose that the organizational context of an individual either accelerates or retards the likelihood of entrepreneurship, depending on…

We study how intermediation and asset prices in over-the-counter markets are affected by illiquidity associated with search and bargaining. We compute explicitly the prices at which investors trade with each other, as well as marketmakers’ bid…

Credible tests of hypotheses about power require credible measures of power. Roll rates purport to measure the power of the majority party in legislatures. This paper develops and employs a baseline model to assess roll rates. While on the…

This paper develops and analyzes a principal-agent model for product specification and production motivated by “core buying” decisions at an automobile manufacturer. The model focuses on two important elements of the “core” buyer’s responsibility…

Choice behavior researchers (e.g., Bazerman, Loewenstein, & White, 1992) have found that individuals tend to choose a more lucrative but disadvantageously unequal payoff (e.g., self—$600/other—$800) over a less profitable but equal one (e.g…

This paper describes ways that the definition of an equilibrium among players strategies in a game can be sharpened by invoking additional criteria derived from decision theory. Refinements of John Nashs 1950 definition aim primarily to…

We provide a theoretical framework for studying mate search and selection based on a two-sided matching model. Guided by the model, we study dating behavior using data from an experimental dating market, where we generate random matching of…

Few concepts in the social sciences are invoked with the same ease or employed so readily to explain so many social and institutional outcomes as power. The concept of power has been used to explain, for example, how organizational resources are…
