Structural Change and Homeostasis in Organizations: A Decision-Theoretic Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present here a decision-theoretic framework for the analysis of organizational change under risk. An algorithm is demonstrated which identifies optimal change paths given uncertainty involving execution time, intervention cost, and payoffs resulting from particular structural configurations. An elaboration of the basic framework to accommodate external structural perturbations is shown, and is applied to the problem of organizational homeostasis. Finally, an extension of the decision model is provided which admits multiple decision makers with divergent preferences and capacities for inducing organizational change.

Game-Theoretic Approach for Pricing Decisions in Dual-Channel Supply Chain
In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...

Project portfolio selection is very important subject of decision-makers in project-based organizations. The best assignment of resources to the most appropriate projects is necessary as financing projects with low benefit is just waste of organization's resources. However, existing project selection models pay not much attention the structure and special features of projects as a selection cri...

متن کاملOptimized Pricing Decisions In a Multi-Level Supply Chain With Various Power and Channel Structures: A Game-Theoretic Approach
This article studies the optimization of pricing decisions in a supply chain with different channels under different power structure. Three different channel will be considered here; these include: the decentralized, the semi-integrated, and the integrated channel. There are two types of power balance structures for both the decentralized and the semi-integrated channels. The first type is a le...
متن کاملCoordinating a decentralized supply chain with a stochastic demand using quantity flexibility contract: a game-theoretic approach
Supply chain includes two or more parties linked by flow of goods, information, and funds. In a decentralized system, supply chain members make decision regardless of their decision's effects on the performance of the other members and the entire supply chain. This is the key issue in supply chain management, that the mechanism should be developed in which different objectives should be align...
