Model Approach

This paper describes a model to simulate the decision-making process of consumers that adopts technology within a dynamic social network. The proposed model use theories and tools from the psychology of consumer behavior, social networks and complex dynamical systems like the Consumat framework and fuzzy logic. The model has been adjusted using real data, tested with the automobile market and it can recreate trends like those described in the world market.

Model Approach

This paper introduces an approach for group decision-making problems (GDMP) without weighted aggregation operators. This approach is more suitable for scenarios with infinite number of individuals. A mathematical model approach is established based on the new concept of s⁎-optimal concession equilibrium solution without weighted aggregation operators for group decision-making problems. It is of practical significance for all decision-makers (experts) to find an optimal solution or to sort out all the candidate solutions. We prove that the s⁎-optimal concession equilibrium solution is equivalent to solving a single objective optimization problem, and, under certain conditions, the s⁎-optimal equilibrium solution always exists. Moreover, it is proven that the s⁎-optimal concession equilibrium solution is equivalent to the robust optimal solution of the group weight aggregation and the optimal solution under the worst weighted aggregation operators.

Model Approach

The purpose of this paper is to appraise the conventional business model of broadband growth and penetration, underscore the shortcomings of such models to introduce a socio-technical based model as a more real and sustainable solution to low broadband uptake. Recent studies on both conventional business model and socio-technical model approach to broadband growth and penetration are reviewed. The socio-technical systems theory (STST) itself is critiqued, and postulates founded by first proponents are questioned for possible refinement. Finally, the potency of the STST approach to broadband is brought to light. The importance and complexities of broadband are discussed. The paper culminates in a proposed framework for broadband growth and penetration which can be used as a decision making tool by policy makers. This resulting proposed framework integrates the conventional business model and the socio-technical model, as well as the attributes and repercussions of a socio-technical environment. Keywords: socio-technical systems theory, broadband, conventional business model, sustainable, repercussions, attributes. JEL Classification: 033, 040
