Preface
The overarching goal of this study is to report on the development of new and innovative ideas to support the integration of decision making between a coordinator in a supply consortium (the principal) and a subordinate service providing partner (the subordinate agent). In particular, new approaches for the management of logistics processes in volatile and uncertain planning environments are developed and evaluated. These approaches improve the common decision making between a supply consortium coordinator and service proving partner(s), which finally leads to an increase of the quality of the generated value creation process provided by the supply consortium. An installation and a setup of opportunities for the coordinator to intervene into the local resource deployment of a service providing partner is the core idea behind these new approaches. If necessary from the viewpoint of the complete supply consortium, the coordinator should be allowed (and obliged) to control temporarily the dispatching of resources partly or completely. The motivation behind this intervention is to protect and stabilize the performance of the overall supply consortium if a certain partner does not act in the sense of the consortium. To realize and to implement the coordinator interventions, we propose that the sup
