Service Products and Productization [PDF]
Abstract Many services are difficult to understand and communicate, and as a result, difficult to position, differentiate, and sell. While important, understanding services as well-defined products has hardly received research attention although doing so offers a host of potential benefits.

Products and Productivity* [PDF]
AbstractWhen firms make decisions about which product to manufacture at a more disaggregated level than observed in the data, measured firm productivity reflects both characteristics of the firm and attributes of the products that are non‐randomly chosen by the firm.

Product Complementarity in Production: The By-product Case [PDF]
The product-product relationship has been a traditional subject of most production economics and farm management courses for the past two decades. Although the traditional examples of product-product optimization have come primarily from the agricultural production sector (e.g., legume-corn rotations and crop-livestock combinations), the concept is ...

Product Choice and Product Switching [PDF]
This paper develops a model of endogenous product selection by firms. The theory is motivated by new evidence we present on the importance of product switching by U.S. manufacturers. Two-thirds of continuing firms change their product mix every five years, and product switches involve more than 40% of firm output and almost half of existing products ...

Bioreactor for Blood Product Production [PDF]
The feasibility of ex vivo blood production is limited by both biological and engineering challenges. From an engineering perspective, these challenges include the significant volumes required to generate even a single unit of a blood product, as well as the correspondingly high protein consumption required for such large volume cultures.

A Study of Product Production in Software Product lines [PDF]
A software product line organization exists to produce products. Much of the research on creating products via product lines has focused on developing core assets such as requirements, architectures, and components. This technical note presents the results of a study that focused on how product line organizations create products (e.g., their production

Aggregate Productivity and the Productivity of Aggregates [PDF]
Explanations of procyclical productivity play a key role in a variety of business-cycle models. Most of these models, however, explain this procyclicaIity within a representative-firm paradigm. This procedure is misleading. We decompose aggregate productivity changes into several terms, each of which has an economic interpretation.

Specification of Products and Product Lines [PDF]
The study of variability in software development has become increasingly important in recent years. A common mechanism to represent the variability in a product line is by means of feature models. However, the relationship between these models and UML design models is not straightforward.

Finite products of regularized products [PDF]
The product $\big(\p a_m\big)\cdot\big(\p b_m\big)$ of two regularized products is not in general equal to the regularized product $\p (a_m\cdot b_m)$. We consider the discrepancy $F$, defined by $$ \exp(F ):=\frac{\p (a_m\cdot b_m)}{\big(\p a_m\big)\cdot\big(\p b_m\big)}. $$ When the terms $a_m$ and $b_m$ depend on parameters, we show in certain cases
