A rigorous guide to how randomness shapes a firm’s design and daily decisions
This study presents a dynamic model where a firm decides its capacity at time zero and then actively manages production and pricing as events unfold. It blends inventory flow, stochastic demand, and learning effects to show how long‑term design choices interact with short‑term operations.
The work outlines a two‑stage approach: first, determine the optimal operating policy for a given capacity; then choose the capacity level that maximizes long‑run profit, accounting for how operations respond over time. Readers will see how barrier policies arise naturally and how pricing and capacity decisions adapt to uncertainty and experience.
Ideal for readers interested in operations research, industrial organization, and the theory behind dynamic firm decisions under uncertainty.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a novel model for make-to-stock firms founded on the idea that actual production and demand occur as random, countable events. The author extends classic monopoly theory by incorporating dynamic aspects and stochastic uncertainties to create a model that more accurately reflects real-world complexities. Through optimising functions that consider both short-term decision-making and long-term capacity planning, the book examines the relationship between pricing strategy and production decisions. It also explores how achievable capacity expands as cumulative production increases, capturing the learning curve effect observed in many industries. By doing so, the book provides a comprehensive and dynamic theory of the firm that adds depth to our understanding of production and pricing strategies in uncertain environments.
