Abstract

This study introduces the k-proportional τ-value as a generalized allocation rule for big boss games by modifying the minimal right vector with a proportionality parameter, k. The model preserves core allocations while allowing flexible payoff distribution. An AI- and OR-focused case based on Amazon’s personalized recommendation system illustrates its use in analyzing hierarchical collaboration, incentive alignment, and fair reward sharing in complex, data-driven organizational settings. This approach offers a practical tool for evaluating cooperation and equity in modern firms.
