A Note on the Equivalence of Rationalizability Concepts in Generalized Nice Games
No full textMoulin (1984) describes the class of nice games for which the solution concept of point-rationalizability coincides with iterated elimination of strongly dominated strategies. As a consequence nice games have the desirable property that all rationalizability concepts determine the same strategic solution. However, nice games are characterized by rather strong assumptions. For example, only single-valued best responses are admitted and the individual strategy sets have to be convex and compact subsets of the real line R1. This note shows that equivalence of all rationalizability concepts can be extended to multi-valued best response correspondences. The surprising finding is that equivalence does not hold for individual strategy sets that are compact and convex subsets of Rn with n>1.
Uniqueness Conditions for Point-Rationalizable
No full textThe unique point-rationalizable solution of a game is the unique Nash equilibrium. However, this solution has the additional advantage that it can be justified by the epistemic assumption that it is Common Knowledge of the players that only best responses are chosen. Thus, games with a unique point-rationalizable solution allow for a plausible explanation of equilibrium play in one-shot strategic situations, and it is therefore desireable to identify such games. In order to derive sufficient and necessary conditions for unique point-rationalizable solutions this paper adopts and generalizes the contraction-property approach of Moulin (1984) and of Bernheim (1984). Uniqueness results obtained in this paper are derived under fairly general assumptions such as games with arbitrary metrizable strategy sets and are especially useful for complete and bounded, for compact, as well as for finite strategy sets. As a mathematical side result existence of a unique fixed point is proved under conditions that generalize a fixed point theorem due to Edelstein (1962).
Förlorat i Översättningen : Att Klarlägga Diskrepanser i Dotterbolagsautonomi inom en Multinationell Koncern
No full textIn the face of growing geopolitical instability, regulatory complexity, technologicalshifts, and intensifying environmental and societal pressures, modern multinationalenterprises must carefully mediate global integration with local responsiveness. In thiscontext, subsidiary autonomy has been increasingly recognised as both a necessity anda persistent source of governance tension. Although autonomy is widely discussed inthe IB literature, the concept remains fragmented and conceptually unclear,sometimes reducing it to a binary of authority formally assigned or assumed moreexpansively by subsidiaries. Furthermore, far less attention has been given to itsmicrofoundations, leaving critical blind spots in theory and practice. This study adoptsa network perspective of the firm and an agency theory lens to examine why managersassume autonomy. The research is built upon a qualitative single-case study of aEuropean multinational energy service firm’s Swedish operations, drawing on 28semi-structured interviews, internal documents, and ethnographic-style observations.It advances a four-aggregate framework for the microfoundations of subsidiaryautonomy and derives tentative propositions for future testing. The results suggestthat autonomy is co-produced by normative anchoring, structural mediation, powerand control dynamics, and psychological conditions. Beyond its empiricalcontribution, addressing an under-represented context in the literature, this studyoffers three theoretical contributions: (1) theorising intermediate units’ dual agency asthey recalibrate discretion across organisational layers; (2) providing evidence oflatent autonomy, reframing autonomy as a reversible, relational practice in whichdelegated decision rights may be underutilised and not only expanded; and (3)suggesting autonomy’s social embeddedness in norms, socialisation, andpsychological conditions, not just formal delegation and structure. The study offerspractical recommendations and levers for practitioners in multinational enterprises toimprove autonomy–governance fit amid contemporary global pressures.Inför växande geopolitisk instabilitet, regulatorisk komplexitet, teknologiska skiftensamt tilltagande miljömässiga och samhälleliga omställningskrav måste modernamultinationella koncerner försiktigt balansera global integration med lokal lyhördhet.I detta sammanhang har dotterbolagens autonomi alltmer erkänts som både ennödvändighet och en bestående källa för spänning i förhållande till styrning. Även omautonomi diskuteras allmänt i IB-litteraturen, förblir konceptet fragmenterat,konceptuellt oklart och det reduceras ibland till en binär uppdelning mellan formellttilldelade beslutsrätter och mer expansivt antagna av dotterbolagen. Dessutom harmycket mindre uppmärksamhet ägnats åt dess mikrofundament, vilket lämnarkritiska blinda fläckar i teori och praktik. Denna studie antar ett nätverksperspektivpå företaget och agentteori för att undersöka varför chefer tillägnar sig autonomi.Forskningen bygger på en kvalitativ enfallstudie av ett europeiskt multinationelltenergitjänstekoncerns svenska verksamhet och utgår från 28 semistruktureradeintervjuer, interna dokument och etnografiskt präglade observationer. Studien läggerfram ett fyraggregerat ramverk för mikrofundamenten bakom dotterbolagsautonomioch härleder preliminära propositioner för framtida prövning. Resultaten tyder på attautonomi samskapas av normativ förankring, strukturell mediering, makt- ochkontrolldynamik och psykologiska tillstånd. Utöver sitt empiriska bidrag, sombehandlar ett underrepresenterat sammanhang i litteraturen, erbjuder denna studie treteoretiska bidrag: (1) en teoretisering av mellanliggande enheters dubbla agens när derekalibrerar autonomi över organisatoriska nivåer; (2) evidens för latent autonomi,som omramar autonomi som en reversibel, relationell praxis där delegeradebeslutsrätter kan underutnyttjas och inte bara utvidgas; och (3) föreslår autonominssociala inbäddning i normer, socialisering och psykologiska förhållanden, inte baraformell delegation och struktur. Studien erbjuder praktiska rekommendationer förchefer i multinationella koncerner för att förbättra samspelet mellan autonomi ochstyrning under samtida globala påfrestningar
Normative reconstruction and social character of freedom in Axel Honneth
No full textO presente objeto de pesquisa busca proceder ao estudo e identificação dos traços essenciais envolvidos na abordagem teórica das relações sociais e políticas trazidas na obra O Direito da Liberdade do filósofo alemão Axel Honneth. Faz-se uma análise da influência hegeliana sobre o conceito de liberdade, assim como dos fatores relacionados com o suprimento das carências subjetivas, mediadas pelas diferentes “esferas” sociais. Honneth, assim, procura trazer à tona a compreensão de um novo modelo de liberdade advindo da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel, o qual se distingue substancialmente dos modelos tradicionais. O autor busca evidenciar a limitação das teorias da justiça de tradição liberal, invocando a necessidade de uma visão integrada das relações sociais experimentadas nas esferas referidas por Hegel, concebendo-se uma experiência concreta de liberdade social. Nesse sentido, evidencia-se o caráter interdisciplinar e emancipatório do método de reconstrução normativa como base teórica para a justificação pública nas sociedades modernas.This research object aims to study and identify the essential traits involved in the theoretical approach of social and political relations brought in the work Freedom’s Right by the german philosopher Axel Honneth. It analyses the hegelian influence on the concept of freedom, as well as the factors related to the supply of subjective needs, mediated by the different social "spheres". Honneth thus seeks to bring to light the understanding of a new model of freedom stemming from Hegel’s Philosophy of Law, which differs substantially from traditional models. The author seeks to highlight the limitation of liberal theories of justice, invoking the need for an integrated view of the social relations experienced in the spheres referred to by Hegel, conceiving a concrete experience of social freedom. In this sense, the interdisciplinary and emancipatory character of the normative reconstruction method is evidenced, as a theorical basis for public justification in modern societies
Sentinelles - Réanimation d’un moulin millénaire au bord du Fornant (Haute-Savoie)
No full textLes sentinelles sont des jalons dans le paysage qui enregistrent le temps : une allée d’arbre centenaire, un chemin qui s’efface, les méandres fossiles d’une rivière, une peinture qui s’écaille. Ces individus hétéroclites servent d’allégorie pour illustrer la mutation du paysage du val des Usses. Située entre les bassins genevois et annécien, cette région à vocation agricole est devenue une zone-dortoir qui héberge de nombreux pendulaires. Afin que l’agriculture n’ait pas qu’un rôle subalterne, le val doit re-qualifier son rôle et son identité au sein du territoire métropolitain. Face à une intensification des infrastructures, la collectivité doit élaborer des stratégies pour concilier ce réseau en expansion avec les structures existantes et la mémoire du lieu. Le projet du Fornant s’inscrit dans cette quête de résilience. Les sentinelles sont multiples le long de la rivière; une canalisation aérienne d’eau potable, un bief enterré, le mur sud d’un moulin millénaire et les ruines d’une habitation paysanne, tout ces protagonistes placés sous les lignes d’un pylône à très haute tension. Par le dessin de ces infrastructures, le projet dévoile l'anatomie de la ressource en eau et interroge nos modèles d’énergie en termes d’accessibilité et de consommation. Alors que de nouveaux lotissements se développent dans les villages, le projet du Fornant nous invite à porter attention aux formes déjà existantes. La revitalisation progressive de ces structures en ruines est envisagée de manière virale, se propageant de proche en proche. À une époque où l’antagonisme entre la ville et la campagne est de plus en plus prononcé, cet élan a le potentiel de stimuler une économie locale et de réaffirmer le rôle de l’agriculture dans nos régions rurales.LIFLAB-USAR-DCote: 2023.040MEM.1/1 A4 verticalGroupe de suivi: Taillieu, Jo François (dir. pédagogique) ; Cogato Lanza, Elena (prof.) ; Chevroulet, Axel (maître EPFL) ; Mazza, Gabriela (expert)Professeur responsable de l'Enoncé: Cogato Lanza, Elena (ENAC IA LAB-U)Enoncé théorique de master: Sentinelles.
