Nonsmooth Equations in Optimization: Regularity, Calculus, Methods and Applications (Nonconvex Optimization and Its Applications
The book establishes links between regularity and derivative concepts of nonsmooth analysis and studies of solution methods and stability for optimization, complementarity and equilibrium problems. In developing necessary tools, it presents, in particular, (i) an extended analysis of Lipschitz functions and the calculus of their generalized derivatives, including regularity,...

Conjoint analysis is one of the most important tools to support product development, pricing and positioning decisions in management practice. For this purpose, various models have been developed. It is widely accepted that models that take consumer heterogeneity into account, outperform aggregate models in terms of hold-out tasks. The aim of our study is to investigate empirically...

The effect of incentive schemes and organizational arrangements on the new product development process
This paper proposes a new model for studying the new product development process in an artificial environment. We show how connectionist models can be used to simulate the adaptive nature of agents' learning exhibiting similar behavior as practically experienced learning curves. We study the impact of incentive schemes (local, hybrid and global) on the new product development...

Strategic transfer pricing, absorption costing, and observability
This paper analyses the use of transfer pricing as a strategic device in divisionalized firms facing duopolistic price competition. When transfer prices are observable, both firms’ headquarters will charge a transfer price above the marginal cost of the intermediate product to induce their marketing managers to behave as softer competitors in the final product market. When transfer...

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....
