Configurations of Control: A Transaction Cost Approach
In this paper, I present a theory of management control based on Transaction Cost Economics.This theory seeks to integrate into a single framework a set of insights as to the natureof the organization's activities, the control problems that are inherent ...

Transaction Costs, Information Technology and Development [PDF]
This paper examines the impact of transaction costs on economic welfare and development. We extend the static model of Romer (1994), in which transaction costs reduce welfare by the reducing the equilibrium number of intermediate goods, and estimate the ...

A Family of Sodium Solid‐State Electrolytes Based on the NaGaxAl1‐xCl4 Solid Solution
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sodium‐based metal chloride solid electrolytes are promising for sodium solid‐state batteries due to their excellent oxidation stability, which, as shown for Li halides, can coexist with high ionic conductivity. To explore cationic substitution effects, we synthesized NaGaxAl1‐xCl4 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) via ball milling and investigated structural and ...

A Survey of Interlayer Interaction Models for Graphene and Other 2D Materials
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Van der Waals interactions arising from electronic polarization at atomically close interfaces generate corrugated interlayer energy landscapes that govern normal and tangential tractions. This review presents an overview of quantum, atomistic, analytical, and continuum modeling approaches, highlighting their roles across length scales in capturing ...

Stabilizing Electrochemical Interfaces With Multifunctional Cobalt Nitride Layers
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Cobalt nitrides emerged recently as an interesting class of earth‐abundant oxygen evolution catalysts. Herein, plasma‐enhanced atomic layer deposition is used to synthesize multifunctional cobalt nitride layers that simultaneously protect and catalytically activate photoelectrode surfaces.

Sensitive and Spatially‐Resolved Electrochemiluminescence via Micropatterning
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The use of a simple silica nanoparticle surface coating and patterning process can transform ordinary gold electrodes into multiplexed ECL sensing electrodes. Through spatially confined droplet formation and local ECL emission, it is possible to perform multiple analyses simultaneously from individual locations as well as intensify the ECL signal by as
