Capacity planning under uncertainty in a Gutenberg production model
The paper considers a two stage capacity and production planning model under uncertainty. The optimal second stage production policy falls into three cases: When capacity is slack the firm will produce with the cost minimizing production rate and adjust the production time to meet its output target. When the capacity constraint is binding, the firm will first adjust the production...

Distributed Control in Social Systems
The performance of social systems is an object of continuous theoretical debate and of manifold practical conflicts. Many approaches to defining criteria of performance and techniques of measurement have been developed and applied. The fact that the attempts are multifarious indicates that the domain of inquiry at hand is still at an immature stage, with pragmatism and eclecticism...

Segmentation Based Competitive Analysis with MULTICLUS and Topology Representing Networks
Two neural network approaches, Kohonen's Self-Organizing (Feature) Map (SOM) and the Topology Representing Network (TRN) of Martinetz and Schulten are employed in the context of competitive market structuring and segmentation analysis. In an empirical study using brands preferences derived from household panel data, we compare the SOM and TRN approach to MULTICLUS, a parametric...

The impact of capacity costs on bidding strategies in procurement auctions
This paper analyzes the impact of capacity costs on bidding strategies of firms participating in procurement auctions. More efficient firms will invest in advance due to their high probability of winning the auction while less efficient bidders prefer to wait with their investments until the outcome of the auction is known. However, in equilibrium both types of firms include a...

A performance comparison of strategic transfer pricing and tidy cost allocation in presence of product market competition and congestion costs
This paper compares the performance of transfer pricing and tidy cost allocations in a multiproduct firm in presence of output market competition and production externalities. In absence of competition, tidy cost allocations are creating inefficient allocations within the firm while transfer prices can always be adjusted to replicate the first best solution of the centralized firm....

Comparing performance of feed-forward neural nets and k-means for cluster-based market segmentation
We compare the performance of a specifically designed feedforward artificial neural network with one layer of hidden units to the K-means clustering technique in solving the problem of cluster-based market segmentation. The data set analyzed consists of usages of brands (product category: household cleaners) in different usage situations. The proposed feedforward neural network model...

Conditional Market Segmentation by Neural Networks: A Monte Carlo Study
An artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm is proposed that incorporates both market segmentation and discriminant (regression) analysis of the segments. The method simultaneously estimates the models relating consumer characteristics to market segments, i.e., subjects are assigned to (unique) segments so that subjects within a class show similar purchase behavior and share the...
