Innovative Tools for Business Coalitions in B2B Applications
by Paolo Renna Pierluigi ArgonetoThe manufacturing industry is facing the challenges of shifting its operations from the traditional factory integration philosophy to a supply chain based e-factory philosophy, and of transforming the focus of companies from the local factory to global enterprise and business. Innovative Tools for Business Coalitions in B2B Applications presents a set of innovative methodologies that can be used to face all the issues that stem from the interaction of customers and suppliers in an e-marketplace environment. The first methodology discussed is multi-agent architecture and this forms the basis of a simulation environment developed in order to test the proposed models. The second concerns a bargaining model based on the negotiation mechanism and the third centers on production planning to support agents during the bargaining phase. The fourth is the possibility of a coalition between the suppliers and the authors offer a choice of two different approaches. One is the application of Nash equilibrium to select the members of a potential coalition of sellers, while the other is a centralized approach with a profit sharing mechanism based on the Shapley value. All the innovative approaches reported in Innovative Tools for Business Coalitions in B2B Applications have been statistically tested in different market conditions. The methodologies, approaches and results presented in Innovative Tools for Business Coalitions in B2B Applications will be of interest to PhD students, operations managers and supply chain management researchers who develop value-added services for an e-marketplace in a business-to-business environment.
Innovative Trend Methodologies in Science and Engineering
by Zekâi ŞenThis book covers all types of literature on existing trend analysis approaches, but more than 60% of the methodologies are developed here and some of them are reflected to scientific literature and others are also innovative versions, modifications or improvements. The suggested methodologies help to design, develop, manage and deliver scientific applications and training to meet the needs of interested staff in companies, industries and universities including students.Technical content and expertise are also provided from different theoretical and especially active roles in the design, development and delivery of science in particular and economics and business in general. It is also ensured that, wherever possible and technically appropriate, priority is given to the inclusion and integration of real life data, examples and processes within the book content.The time seems right, because available books just focus on special sectors (fashion, social, business). This book reviews all the available trend approaches in the present literature on rational and logical bases.

Innovative Unternehmensführung: Erprobte Strategien, Techniken und Booster, die Unternehmen und Start-ups zukunftsfähig machen
by Philipp Plugmann Christoph Jacob Christian Kastner Daniel HesmerNichts ist älter als der Erfolg von gestern. Im internationalen Wettbewerb nimmt der Druck für Start-ups und etablierte Unternehmen zu: innovative Produkte und Dienstleistungen müssen in immer kürzeren Zyklen entwickelt und geliefert werden. Personalmangel, hohe Unternehmenssteuern und lange Antragswege sind nur einige der Innovationshemmnisse, die den Abstand deutscher Unternehmen zur Weltspitze vergrößern.Aktuelle weltpolitische Ereignisse offenbaren eine starke Abhängigkeit Deutschlands von Dritten, insbesondere bei Energie und Nahrung, aber auch bei der Digitalisierung. In allen Bereichen muss eine unternehmerische Trendwende eingeleitet werden. Dazu soll dieses Buch Impulse geben. Viele praxiserprobte Ideen und Anregungen aus der aktuellen Innovationsszene für die Bereiche Organisation, Vertrieb, Führung und Personalwesen werden vorgestellt - zumeist von Führungskräften, die wissen, "wie es geht". Ein Mix aus akademischen und praktischen Ansätzen zeigt den Lesern, wie diese erfahrenen Führungskräfte in ihren Betrieben mit Krisen, Herausforderungen und Innovationsprojekten umgegangen sind. Sie erhalten "lessons learned", die sie bei ihren eigenen Ansätzen für eine innovative Unternehmensführung unterstützen können.

Innovators' Marketplace
by Yukio Ohsawa Yoko NishiharaThis book presents a powerful method for innovation that reinforces combinatorial and analogical thoughts, with interdisciplinary communications among stakeholders in the market. In this method called Innovators' Marketplace, two games - Innovators' Market Game and Analogy Game - accelerate the spiral of innovation with visualizing data on the connectivity of pieces of existing knowledge. Some players invent ideas by connecting and combining pre-existing knowledge, while others evaluate the ideas to decide whether or not to buy. In a joyful atmosphere created by the games, players look beyond resistance to criticism, as experiments real cases show. They will start thinking and talking about the best segment of the majority, latent requirements in the future market, and scenarios for satisfying those requirements. This process embodies the principle that an interdisciplinary combination of business actors and resources, possibly with the appearance of new actors, triggers innovation.
Input Trade Liberalization in China (Contributions to Economics)
by Wei Tian Miaojie YuThis book focuses on input trade liberalization in China and discusses the underlying causes and profound effects of Chinese enterprises facing import liberalization of intermediate input. The content of this book includes ten chapters. The analysis of this book mainly uses academic research, with policy study for a few chapters. Most chapters in this book apply the standard method of contemporary economic systems, integrating into the most advanced economic theories of international trade. The author uses theoretical models to obtain predictions which receive empirical support and carries out strict empirical research using data of China's manufacturing enterprises and China's customs to analyze the causes which affect Chinese enterprises facing import liberalization of intermediate input after China’s reform and opening-up. The suggested readership would be the public who are willing to understand the issues closely related to China’s input trade liberalization and opening-up policy, and basic knowledge in economics would be necessary in understanding the academic research part of the book. Meanwhile, this book is also specifically compelling to business persons and policy makers in that it enables deeper understanding on issues about outward foreign investment of enterprises and China’s opening-up policy and facilitates their decision-making process.

Input-Output Models for Sustainable Industrial Systems: Implementation Using Lingo (Lecture Notes In Management And Industrial Engineering Ser.)
by Raymond R. Tan Kathleen B. Aviso Joost R. Santos Michael Angelo Promentilla Krista Danielle YuThis book addresses the specialized topic of input–output models for sustainable industrial systems. While these models are well-established tools for economic analysis, their underlying mathematical structure is also applicable to the analysis and optimization of a wide range of systems that are characterized by linear interdependencies among their components. This means that input–output models can be used for diverse networks, such as processes within industrial plants, industrial plants in a supply chain, or departmental units within an organization. The models can also be readily extended to interactions between man-made systems and the environment, e.g. flows of natural resources and/or pollutants. Furthermore, model variants with excess degrees of freedom can be formulated to allow optimization and decision-making to be integrated within the framework. This book examines how input–output models can be applied to sustainable industrial systems. Each major variant is discussed separately in a dedicated chapter, and representative case studies and supporting LINGO code are also included.
Input-Output in the United Kingdom: Proceedings of the 1968 Manchester Conference (Routledge Library Editions: Econometrics #5)
by W. F. GosslingOriginally published in 1970. Input-output analysis has been described as the "lynch-pin of modern economic planning". Its purpose is to trace the consequences of any economic change through each sector of the economy; to measure, for example, the effects of an increase in fuel tax on the price of food, or of an expansion in car production on the country’s import bill. This kind of knowledge is clearly essential for making economic predictions. This book presents the proceedings of the 1968 Manchester Conference including six outline papers, each followed by discussion, and several summaries of ongoing and proposed research which were added afterwards. The speakers and participants constituted a representative sample of persons from Industry and Commerce, as well as the Universities and the Civil Service.
