Deferment and Normative Coordination (6)Filed Under: General

Strategic expectations of economic agents, several producers complementors and intermediaries experience deterrence caused by durability of investment. Durability reduces uncertainty, shows commitment and exacts reciprocal durability of investment from other parties. Ex-post plan and existing technological paths are durable too. Novelty in technology or innovation and reduced durability of investment allow economic agents to engender differentiation of labor and increase in lengths and numbers of nested circuits of a production net. An agent defers the consumption with the expectation of profit. Profit would be allowed to this agent only if there are other agents who participate in the deferment and each of whom holds expectations on profits. The deferment must complete itself at a future time on approaching the average period of production. Similar to the normative dialogue these expectations need to follow norms in order to bring about completion of a particular production net. Norm guides the expectations of agents by disallowing them certain paths and the agents with the freedom to expect expectations of others keep generating short-period nests and an average period dialogue by remaining within the norm. Short periods remain nested within the overall structure of the average period.

To put in another way, it follows from our analogy that divisions of labor do not possess uniqueness or some unique rationale. Divisions of labor across firms or across several groups, such as the intermediaries, would then, we argue, be contingent to a situation of expectations. Such divisions retain fluidity. Designing an end consumable product through severalties of coordination might take several paths with several alternative and possible divisions amongst the participants who all join in the deferment-based expectations of expectation. The only binding that these groups or firms would consider necessary is what we have called normative binding. A great deal of ambiguity can be allowed in such engagements. Participants who could only guess based on partial and always evanescent evidences offered by the partners, use as it were a mix of axiomatic and subjective probabilities, or better still would be to think about potential. This potential gelled in time is the capital.
