Profit Ascertainment and Distribution in Production Networks (Report‪)‬

Abstract: Production Networks are a popular field for scientific studies. This contribution focuses a subproblem within the network controlling: the ascertainment and distribution of profit. Within that scope an economic-theoretical model for that problem is introduced. Thereby, the role of incentive and sanction mechanisms is also considered. The main difference to other approaches consists in the application of an automated management instance for fulfilling that task in combination with preassigned calculation rules. Key words: Network, Profit Distribution, Network Controlling.
