Organizational change management is concerned with realizing strategies using models, methods and prescriptions that seek to guide the three key elements of strategic management process: strategic analysis (what is our current configuration?), strategic choice (what is our desired configuration?) and strategic implementation (how to realize the desired configuration?). To address these strategi...

Poole’s (2000, Non-parametric unfolding of binary choice data. Political Analysis 8:211–37) nonparametric Optimal Classification procedure for binary data produces misleading rank orderings when applied to the modern House of Commons. With simulations and qualitative evidence, we show that the problem arises from the government-versus-opposition nature of British (Westminster) parliamentary pol...

This paper extends the Brander-Spencer (1985) model by considering market uncertainty, exploring nonlinear policy, and examining ̄rms' choices of strategic variables. By investigating the interrelationship between trade policy and market conduct, we ̄nd that unlike the oftenstudied linear policy, a nonlinear policy can in°uence the domestic ̄rm's choice of strategic variables and hence alter th...

Applications of game theory—and an alternative strategic theory called “theory of moves”—as well as social-choice theory to a wide variety of strategic situations, principally but not exclusively in politics, will be examined. Uses of strategy in voting in committees and elections, in political campaigns, in the defense and deterrence policies of nations, and in bargaining and coalition-buildin...

Among the strategic choices made by today’s economic actors are choices about algorithms and computational resources. Different access to computational resources may result in a kind of economic asymmetry analogous to information asymmetry. In order to represent strategic computational choices within a game theoretic framework, we propose a new game specification, Strategic Bayesian Networks (S...

This paper uses laboratory experiments to study subjects' assessment of uncertainty resulting from strategic and non-strategic decisions other players. Non-strategic events are defined by the colors balls drawn urns, whereas action choice in Stag Hunt (SH) Prisoners' Dilemma (PD) games. We elicit matching probabilities examine if they satisfy law probability including monotonicity additivity. V...

BACKGROUND Since 1998, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI) has supported more rapid implementation of research into clinical practice. OBJECTIVES With the passage of the Veterans Access, Choice and Accountability Act of 2014 (Choice Act), QUERI further evolved to support VHA's transformation into a Learning Health Care System by aligning sc...
