Excerpt from The Problem of the Active Coordination of Hierarchical Decision Systems: A Discussion and an Application to Problems in Economics
In Chapter I the author formally defines and discusses the Active Coordination Problem in hierarchical decision systems. A brief history is given of past efforts to tackle this problem. And a paradigm is presented emphasizing important dimensions of the coordination problem which have been neglected or obscured in existing theories of coordination.
In Chapter II the author draws upon his paradigm to compare, contrast, and criticize several models of coordination. Each of the models is concerned with the coordination of economic systems with "externalities." Arguments are given for the development of more comprehensive and hence useful theories of coordination. The author feels that it is particularly important that new theories encompass the game theoretic factors arising from different distributions of power and information between and across 'levels' of the decision system.
