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.
