The Methodology of Profit Maximization: an Austrian Alternative
نویسندگان
چکیده
Indeed, there has been a rich literature on the subject—based mostly around the behavioral view of the firm—that for the most part has remained on the periphery of mainstream economic thought.1 That economists would question the methodology of the dominant paradigm is understandable, given that the standard “theory of the firm” is based upon rigid assumptions that do not seem to be particularly realistic. Cyert and Hedrick (1972) note:

Using and comparing metaheuristic algorithms for optimizing bidding strategy viewpoint of profit maximization of generators
With the formation of the competitive electricity markets in the world, optimization of bidding strategies has become one of the main discussions in studies related to market designing. Market design is challenged by multiple objectives that need to be satisfied. The solution of those multi-objective problems is searched often over the combined strategy space, and thus requires the simultaneous...
متن کاملA POMDP Framework to Find Optimal Inspection and Maintenance Policies via Availability and Profit Maximization for Manufacturing Systems
Maintenance can be the factor of either increasing or decreasing system's availability, so it is valuable work to evaluate a maintenance policy from cost and availability point of view, simultaneously and according to decision maker's priorities. This study proposes a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) framework for a partially observable and stochastically deteriorating syste...
متن کاملDetermination of the largest pit with the non-negative net profit in the open pit mines
The determination of the Ultimate Pit Limit (UPL) is the first step in the open pit mine planning process. In this stage that parts of the mineral deposit that are economic to mine are determined. There are several mathematical, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorithms to determine UPL. The optimization criterion in these algorithms is maximization of the total profit whilst satisfying...
متن کاملOptimal customer selection for cross-selling of financial services products
A new methodology, for optimal customer selection in cross-selling of financial services products, such as mortgage loans and non life insurance contracts, is presented. The optimal cross-sales selection of prospects is such that the expected profit is maximized, while at the same time the risk of suffering future losses is minimized. Expected profit maximization and mean-variance optimization ...
متن کاملProfit Maximization Based on Customer Satisfaction Level in a Multi- Layer Multi-Product Supply Chain
This paper concerns with a mathematical model considering customer satisfaction requirements in a supply chain. The model tradeoffs the supply chain ability to fulfill the customers’ requirements and the limited budget in a variety of production phases. The decisions made here help to determine the profit provider price and economic quantity while the effective supplier and priori requireme...
