This chapter describes a new sustainable business model, Innovation 2.0, led and deployed by the author, with the goal of increasing the innovation level at the telco service portfolio for the end-user, thank to the convergence of Internet and Telco worlds and the ‘fresh’ and ‘effervescent’ proposals created by start-ups. This model, created by Win Win Consultants, a Spanish company leader in m...

describe increased struggles between academics and administrators—struggles arising from the rapidly expanding role of administration in collegial governance. This expansion challenges faculty preference for slower, deliberate change, and for collegial, consensual decision-making. “You will find universities that 10 years ago were run in a collegial fashion now completely structured to look fro...

Win-win choices cause anxiety, often more so than decisions lacking the opportunity for a highly desired outcome. These anxious feelings can paradoxically co-occur with positive feelings, raising important implications for individual decision styles and general well-being. Across three studies, people chose between products that varied in personal value. Participants reported feeling most posit...

Recent practise has revealed that conservation interventions that seek to achieve multiple benefits generally face significant, if under-recognized trade-offs. REDD+ policies present prospective win–win solutions for climate change mitigation, rural development and biodiversity conservation. Notably, protecting, enhancing and restoring forests for their carbon sequestration services has the pot...

A class of binary decision-making tasks called the two-alternative forced-choice task has been used extensively in psychology and behavioral economics experiments to investigate human decision making. The human subject makes a choice between two options at regular time intervals and receives a reward after each choice; for a variety of reward structures, these experiments showconvergence of the...

Lewis-Skyrms signaling games (Lewis 1969; Skyrms 2010) have been studied under a variety of low-rationality learning dynamics (Barrett 2006; Barrett and Zollman 2009; Huttegger, Skyrms, Smead, and Zollman 2010; Huttegger, Skyrms, Tarrès, and Wagner 2014; Huttegger, Skyrms, and Zollman 2014). Reinforcement dynamics are stable but slow and prone to evolving suboptimal signaling conventions. A low...

We study channel coordination policies for products subject to midlife price declines during their short product life cycles. Using a two-period supply chain model consisting of one supplier and one retailer, we identify policies and/or conditions under which the supply chain can be coordinated and a win-win situation can be guaranteed. We also provide algorithms to determine the win-win policy...

(b) We do several iterations of eliminating strictly dominated strategies. First, note that when v < 75, bidding 75 is strictly dominated: regardless of the other bidder’s strategy, you will win the auction at least half the time, giving strictly negative payoff, while bidding 0 ensures a payoff of 0. Second, assume your opponent never bids 75 unless his value is at least 75. Then a bid of 50 w...
