Information and Organization for Horizontal Multimarket Coordination
建模了不同协调结构对面临多个横向市场不确定需求的企业绩效的影响,比较了分散、集中和分布式结构的绩效,并研究了影响协调价值的因素。
We model the effects of alternative coordination structures on the performance of a firm that faces uncertain demand in multiple horizontal markets. The firm's coordination structure is jointly determined by its decision-rights structure and by its information structure. We compare the performance of decentralized, centralized and distributed structures and study factors that affect the value of coordination. The results quantify and illustrate the value of co-locating decision rights with specific knowledge.
