The current paper defines the optimal sequential information gathering structure of a rational utility maximizer decision maker in the simplest non-trivial theoretical scenario, where the decision maker is allowed to acquire only two pieces of information from a set of multidimensional goods. We...

Informationen gewinnen als betriebliche Ressource eine immer größer werdende Bedeutung. Daraus ergibt sich für das Management einer Organisation die Herausforderung, organisationale Strukturen zu gestalten, die dieser zunehmenden Bedeutung Rechnung tragen, um somit diese Ressource erfolgreich...

Mastermind is a two players zero sum game of imperfect information. Starting with Erdos and Rényi (1963), its combinatorics have been studied to date by several authors, e.g., Knuth (1977), Chvátal (1983), Goodrich (2009). The first player, called “codemaker”, chooses a secret code and the...
