Managing Dynamic Competition
研究买方如何设计供应商间的动态竞争，以利用学习经济效应并降低被锁定的成本，涉及采购竞争中的让赛、知识产权保护和信息共享等策略。
In many important high-technology markets, including software development, data processing, communications, aeronautics, and defense, suppliers learn through experience how to provide better service at lower cost. This paper examines how a buyer designs dynamic competition among rival suppliers to exploit learning economies while minimizing the costs of becoming locked in to one producer. Strategies for controlling dynamic competition include the handicapping of more efficient suppliers in procurement competitions, the protection and allocation of intellectual property, and the sharing of information among rival suppliers.
