A company's inventory metrics are often viewed as critical indicators of its supply chain performance although inventory costs are only a fraction of total supply chain costs comprised of supplier, manufacturing, transportation, and warehousing costs, as well as inventory costs. Moreover, inventories across the supply chain are dependent on acquisition and distribution decisions. We discuss how simulation and optimization models can be combined to integrate analysis of inventory and supply chain network design decisions in performing a total cost analysis. An application of the models to plans for distributing retail products to an expanding network of stores is reviewed.

Indeed, in 2006, the Solicitor General and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) represented to the Supreme Court that the Federal Circuit's test of patentability-a centerpiece of the circuit's patent jurisprudence for more than twenty years-is "misguided" and "counterproductive" and has "exact[ed] a heavy cost in the form of unwarranted extension of patent protection.... It might try to counterbalance its insularity by encouraging attorneys to cite and discuss the wealth of empirical and social science research on patent law that has been produced in recent years.18 The court could also display greater receptiveness to ideas generated by district court judges, particularly those related to the allocation of judicial authority.19 These solutions, however, would not pro...

Regional clusters have gained great popularity with international development agencies, local authorities, planners, and corporate strategists, as a means of achieving greater competitiveness and economic growth. A considerable body of work has rendered strong theoretical and empirical support to the cluster approach and governments have poured in enormous amounts of funds to promote and facilitate cluster strategies. Yet, not all clusters are sustainable. This paper pulls together insights from knowledge management, strategic management as well as social network, social identity, and social exchange theories to provide a comprehensive understanding of the socio-political dynamics of clusters. Specifically, it is argued that the competitiveness of regional clusters can be compromised by...

The literature on growth theory has pointed to the importance of human capital in order to explain the process of economic development. In the present study, we highlight the role played by cities in fostering human capital accumulation. More particularly, building on a simple urban economics model, we perform cross-country estimations, measuring the relation between human capital accumulation and urbanization. Our results support the result according to which more urbanization induces higher rates of human capital accumulation, but only above a certain threshold level of development. This latter result raises policy concerns on issues related to over-urbanization.
