We consider a multi-attribute outsourcing economy where both price and delivery date are relevant decision factors. In the economy, there is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) who needs multiple items to be delivered on the predetermined delivery dates and suppliers who are capable of delivering some or all of the items.

Collaboration occurs over the network using e-mail, shared files, or in some cases explicitly designed grou...

We replicated Carpenter & Shah (1998) when the information was explicitly available on the visualization. However, when the information was not ...
