One of the main features of all modern economies is the very high level of interconnectivity between different firms and sectors, as firms depend on a rich array of intermediate goods through their increasingly more complex supply chains. While such interconnections enable specialization and enhance productivity, they can also function as a mechanism for propagation and amplification of risk. I...

In this talk we discuss the possible closures of geodesic planes in a hyperbolic 3-manifold M. When M has finite volume Shah and Ratner (independently) showed that a very strong rigidity phenomenon holds, and in particular such closures are always properly immersed submanifolds of M with finite area. Manifolds with infinite volume, however, are far less understood and are the main subject of th...

The joint source channel coding problem of transmitting a pair of correlated sources over a 2−user MAC is considered. A new concatenated coding scheme, comprising of an inner code of fixed block-length and an outer code of arbitrarily large block-length, is proposed. Its information theoretic performance is analyzed to derive a new set of sufficient conditions. An example is identified to demon...

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) has received an increasing amount of interest among scholars and practitioner in recent years. While some companies have received immense benefits from their investments, other companies have seen no bottom line improvements. One often-cited reason for high failure rates has been the cross-functional nature of CRM implementation. Two functions frequently i...
