  • maximizing nash product Social Welfare in allocating indivisible goods
    European Journal of Operational Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: Andreas Darmann, Joachim Schauer
    Abstract:

    Abstract We consider the problem of allocating indivisible goods to agents who have preferences over the goods. In such a setting, a central task is to maximize Social Welfare. In this paper, we assume the preferences to be additive and measure Social Welfare by means of the Nash product. We focus on the computational complexity involved in maximizing Nash product Social Welfare when scores inherent in classical voting procedures such as approval or Borda voting are used to associate utilities with the agents’ preferences. In particular, we show that the maximum Nash product Social Welfare can be computed efficiently when approval scores are used, while for Borda and lexicographic scores the corresponding decision problem becomes NP -complete.

  • management theory and Social Welfare contributions and challenges
    Academy of Management Review, 2016
    Co-Authors: Thomas M Jones, Thomas Donaldson, Edward R Freeman, Jeffrey S Harrison, Carrie R Leana, Joseph T Mahoney, Jone L Pearce
    Abstract:

    In this Introduction to the Special Topic Forum on Management Theory and Social Welfare, we first provide an overview of the motivation behind the special issue. We then highlight the contributions of the six articles that make up this forum and identify some common themes. We also suggest some reasons why Social Welfare issues are so difficult to address in the context of management theory. In addition, we evaluate means of assessing Social Welfare and urge scholars not to make (or imply) unwarranted “wealth creation” claims.
