Stability in a Specialized Supply Chain Setting Issue No. 61 (April - May 2010)
 The stable Supply Chain Network (SCN) configuration, introduced by Ostrovsky [11], is defined on a finite set of agents A that can be divided into k finite disjoint sets, A1 being the set of suppliers, Ak the set of final consumers, and Ai, i={2,3,…,k-1}, the sets of intermediary agents, and asks for a chain stable allocation of the agents. In our current work we present a specialized version of Ostrovsky’s generic framework, and prove that, under this setting, any k-sided SCN can be decomposed to k-1 united SM sub-markets. Moreover, we implement T-algorithm, presented in [11], as a generalization of the Gale-Shapley algorithm [7], and show how an intermediary-optimal solution can be derived, while we prove that the lattice formed by the set of solutions is distributive.

Adamantia G. Pateli (PhD, 2006)
Supervisor: Associate Prof. George Giaglis Abstract The increasing number of strategic alliances and mostly those involving an exchange of technology components or knowledge, since the early 1980s, has motivated a growing body of research on strategic alliances. The debate on the most appropriate alliance governance mode, as critical strategic decision to be made in firm level, provided the motivation and the starting point of this thesis. The discussed PhD thesis has investigated how firms decide on the governance mode of strategic alliances formed in technology-based environments under a triple perspective; a) the cost perspective, expressed by theories such as Transaction Cost Economics, b) the resource perspective, building on arguments of Resource-based and Dynamic Capabilities-based Views of the firm, and c) the less commonly applied value perspective, introduced by Game and Real Options Theories. This paper presents the primary arguments as well as findings of my PhD research. Short CV Adamantia holds a B.Sc. Degree in Informatics from the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) 1999, and MSc in Electronic Commerce from the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) 2001 and a PhD in Information Systems from the Department of Management Science and Technology, AUEB, 2006. Her current research interests include mobile and wireless applications and services, e-government, business models, and strategic technology alliances. Adamantia has published about 20 research articles in academic journals, such as European Journal of Information Systems, International Journal of Technology Management, Journal of Organizational Change Management, and International Journal of Mobile Communications, as well as in European and international peer-reviewed conferences, including the European Conference of Information Systems (ECIS), the International Conference of the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI), the Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), the Bled Electronic Commerce Conference, and the International Conference on Mobile Business (ICMB). Dr. Pateli is currently an adjunct Lecturer (407/80) at the Department of Informatics of the Ionian University, Greece. Paper of PhD Thesis (Dr. Pateli) |
