Fusjonsanalyse av bokhandlermarkedet i Trondheim : Vurdering av metode for analyse av foretakssammenslutning

Følgende utredning tar utgangspunkt i fusjonen mellom kjedene Norli og Libris i det norske bokhandlermarkedet. Ved en slik fusjon på nasjonalt nivå vil mange lokale marked bli påvirket, og utredningen fokuserer på følgene av en slik fusjon i det lokale bokhandlermarkedet i Trondheim sentrum. I utredningen vurderes også de alternativer konkurransemyndigheter og andre står overfor ved vurdering av foretakssammenslutninger. I vår analyse har vi benyttet oss av tradisjonelle verktøy som markedsavgrensning og prispressindekser, samt en grundigere analyse ved hjelp av en matematisk logit-modell. Vi har benyttet markedsandeler for de ulike aktørene i Trondheim, og data for egen- og krysspriselastisiteter mellom disse. Analysen er gjort på kjedenivå grunnet tilgjengelig data, samtidig som vi gjennom drøftingen har vært obs på at fusjoner som dette kan få konsekvenser på butikknivå

Real-Time Aeroservoelastic Analysis of Wind-Turbines by Free Multibody Software

This work illustrates the feasibility of the implementation of innovative, efficient and low-cost solutions for fast-prototyping and customization of controlled mechanical and aeroservoelastic systems. A controlled constant-speed wind-turbine is considered as an example of the proposed methodologies, where the physical aeromechanics problem is controlled by a controller process scheduled for execution in real-time on a PC-class computer. The physical problem is simulated by a general-purpose multibody process that is scheduled in real-time as well. The processes communicate using real-time inter-process communication primitives. All the involved tools are based on free software

Developing the Evaluation of a Pattern-Based Approach for Business Process Improvement

The evaluation of design science (DS) artifacts is a frequently discussed research issue, and many approaches have been developed for this DS activity. However, it is often stated that these approaches only provide rudimentary support for determining the appropriate evaluation methods for an individual DS project. In this paper, an evaluation method for a Business Process Improvement (BPI) pattern approach, which is currently under development, is elaborated. For that purpose, findings from reviewing relevant literature as well as general DS evaluation criteria are investigated to derive an evaluation method for the BPI pattern approach
