Stand der Literatur zur operativen Steuerung von Dienstleistungsprozessen
Leyer, Michael - 2011
Services are characterised by the integration of customers while the service is produced. This integration leads to interruptions in the processing of a customer order until the customer provides the missing input. Since customer behaviour can be planned to a certain extent only challenges in...

Strategische Implikationen einer geringen Fertigungstiefe für die Automobilindustrie
Krcal, Hans-Christian - 2007
In the German automobile industry the vertical integration, as an indicator of value added, is on average low. Beyond the argument of relative high labour costs for manufacturing, several specific reasons for the level of vertical integration, linked to the flexibility of business administration...

How do market structures affect decisions on vertical integration
Matsushima, Noriaki; Mizuno, Tomomichi - 2010
We provide a simple model to investigate decisions on vertical integration/separation. The key feature of this model is that more than one input is required for the final products of the local downstream monopolists. Depending on their cost structure, downstream firms' decisions on vertical...

Management Practice in Production
Triebs, Thomas; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2012
In this paper we account for observed management practice in the estimation of aproduction function. In our model management practice is observable and we allow it toaffect output directly (neutral shift) and indirectly by affecting input productivity. Thisformulation gives us a semiparametric...

Productivity with General Indices ofManagement and Technical Change
Triebs, Thomas; Kumbhakar, Subal C. - 2012
We propose a model of production where technical change is both time and management induced. We define a general management index in addition to the general time index of Baltagi and Griffin (1988) and use them as arguments in the translog productionfunction. Time and management induced...

A Role for Instructions
Valsecchi, Irene - 2005
The paper is concerned with instructions as a way of setting premises for subsequent decisions in models of teams à la Marschak-Radner, under information diversification. The paper suggests that instructions can bridge people's differences in knowledge: they do not require mutual understanding...

Scheduling resource-constrained projects with a flexible project structure
Kellenbrink, Carolin; Helber, Stefan - 2013
In projects with a flexible project structure, the activities that have to be scheduled are not completely known beforehand. Instead, scheduling such a project includes the decision whether to carry out particular activities at all. This also effects precedence constraints between the finally...

On multi-period emissions trading in the electricity sector
Bode, Sven - 2006
different types of power plants (hydro, nuclear, lignite, coal and gas) is simulated over two periods. On the demand side, three … different load curves are assumed (winter, summer, transition). For each demand curve different elasticities are analysed …. Supply and demand are matched on an hourly basis. The allocation is either based on absolute emissions or on a generation …

The Efficiency of German Universities Some Evidence from Non-Parametric and Parametric Methods
Kempkes, Gerhard; Pohl, Carsten - 2006
Due to tight public budget constraints, the efficiency of publicly financed universities in Germany is receiving increasing attention in the academic as well as in the public discourse. Against this background we analyze the efficiency of 72 public German universities for the years 1998 to 2003,...
