Dynamics of Network Formation Processes in the Co-Author Model
This article studies the dynamics in the formation processes of a mutual consent network in game theory setting: the Co-Author Model. In this article, a limited observation is applied and analytical results are derived. Then, 2 parameters are varied: the number of individuals in the network and the initial probability of the links in the network in its initial state. A simulation result shows a finding that is consistent with an analytical result for a state of equilibrium while it also shows different possible equilibria.Dynamics, Network, Game Theory, Model,Simulation, Equilibrium, Complexity
Human Network
Die Ausstellung "Human Network" mit Werken von Christine und Irene Hohenbüchler re ektiert diese Kooperationsstruktur aber sehr konkret und menschlich. Das Netz bilden Menschen, die helfen. Sie helfen Anderen, die Hilfe benötigen, weil deren sozialer Zusammenhalt zerstört worden ist. Als Geflüchtete aus Kriegsgebieten benötigen sie ein neues Netzwerk, um in einem zunächst fremden Land zu bestehen. Das knüpfen viele Men- schen neu für sie. Die Künstlerinnen stellen diese Helferinnen und Helfer in den Mittelpunkt ihrer Ausstellung. Sie geben ihnen durch ihre Zeich- nungen ein Angesicht. Sie unterstreichen mit der Präsentation auch früherer Projekte ihr künstlerisches Prinzip der "multiplen Autorenscha ". Künstler dienen im besten Sinne der sozialen Gemeinschaft, aus der sozialen Gemeinschaft entsteht Kunst ..

Keeping Home - Interview with Irene Maas:
Irene Maas recalls the early days of her adult life - settling into a Collingwood home with her husband, having children and then losing her husband while her children were still young. Widowed, she kept her home and added to it as a foster parent
Interplay between network configurations and network governance mechanisms in supply networks a systematic literature review
Purpose: This work systematically reviews the extant academic management literature on supply networks. It specifically examines how network configurations and network governance mechanisms influence each other in supply networks.
Design: 125 analytical and empirical studies were identified using an evidence-based approach to review the literature mainly published between 1985 and 2012.
Synthesis: Drawing on a multi-disciplinary theoretical foundation, this work develops an integrative framework to identify three distinct yet interdependent themes that characterize the study of supply networks: a) Network Configurations (structures and relationships); b) Network Governance Mechanisms (formal and informal); and c) The Interplay between Network Configurations and Network Governance Mechanisms.
Findings: Network configurations and network governance mechanisms mutually influence each other and cannot be considered in isolation. Formal and informal governance mechanisms provide better control when used as complements rather than as substitutes. The choice of governance mechanism depends on the nature of exchange; role of management; desired level of control; level of flexibility in formal contracts; and complementary role of formal and informal governance mechanism.
Research implications: This nascent field has thematic and methodological research opportunities for academics. Comparative network analysis using longitudinal case studies offers a rich area for further study.
Practical Implications: The complexity surrounding the conflicting roles of managers at the organisation and network levels poses a significant challenge during the development and implementation stage of strategic network policies.
Originality/value: This review reveals that formal and informal governance mechanisms provide better control when used as complements rather than as substitutes
