Thus, we frame a decision‐making model for a firm procuring through advance‐payment contracts (APCs) from numerous small farmers. These farmers are decision‐biased and have varying needs for credit. Hence, composed of a fraction of the per unit guaranteed price, the advance payment uniquely ...
Literature has identified two main sources of knowledge production: academic research institutions and established firms (see Audretsch & Feldman, 1996). The knowledge they produce could only in small parts be exploited within their boundaries, or outside by new venture creation. In this stadium, ...
Some scholars (Audretsch, 1995; Oakey, 2013) discussed how small firms compensate for size-related disadvantages. Knowledge protection, intellectual property (IP) negotiation, and the wider learning process (of how to access, connect, and interact with a larger and more powerful organization) affect...
Roland Berger (2016), for example, estimates a potential of €450 billion of net profits and capital employed in Europe due to the upgrade from Industry 3.0 (I3.0) to I4.0. Likewise, there are claims in the literature that manufacturing firms have to innovate their business model towards ...
In this way, the forecasting model of echelon 1, which has the most accurate information about the demand, is shared to the other firms. Parameter settings and initial conditions We performed simulations for \(N=5\) echelons, varying \(L_\text{train}\). The safety factor was set to \(...

The maximization problem for the competitive producers of old intermediates with i∈[0,Nt] can then be written as: maxx¯t(i)p¯t(i)-ωtWx¯t(i), so that we have p¯t(i)=ωtW and, hence: (1.4)x¯t(i)=ωtW1α-1. The producers of new goods (i.e. the firms run...

constraints and financing decisions have ignored the limitation on the amount of borrowing. However, in real-world situations, some firms cannot borrow an unlimited amount of cash from financial institutions, thereby leading to lost sales due to insufficient working capital for supporting the operations...
Implementing sectoral screening is relatively straightforward and excludes only a small proportion of equity firms. Firms that can pass the qualitative screens are subject to quantitative financial screening through which only firms that are involved in negligible impermissible activity (e.g., minor ...
