Analyzing the Dynamic Evolution of Co-Opetition Mechanism among Shipping Service Resources ()
Abstract
Considering the major shipper choice
factors of potential demand, charge sensitivity and service cost coefficient, the
paper analyzes the dynamic evolution of co-opetition mechanism among shipping
service resources. A number of interesting results are obtained: when the
strategy profile moves from perfectly competition to perfectly co-operation,
the optimal charge will increase while the improvement of shipping service is
uncertain; because long-term equilibrium state is perfectly competition
strategy profile, there is a need for appropriate institutional arrangement to
reduce the saddle-point position in order to achieve maximize profit for the
overall shipping service resources.
