Price competition in duopoly supply chains with stochastic demand [electronic resource]
, Article Journal Of Manufacturing Systems ; 01/2014 ; Eshghi, Kourosh ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
In the literature, substantial researches have been carried out on supply chain coordination. The majority of these studies suggest a mechanism that enforces the supply chain members to follow the strategies that produce the equilibrium of an integrated supply chain. Moreover, most of researches do not consider the competition among supply chains

Abstract
In literature, substantial works have been done on supply chain coordination. The majority of these works looking for a mechanism that enforces the supply chain members to follow strategies that produce the equilibria of an integrated supply chain, and most of this literature ignores competition between supply chains. In this thesis, we consider two distinct supply chains which compete to each other on the price. We present a method to calculate the equilibria for three structural forms. In the first form, two supply chains are integrated and in the second form, one of the supply chains is integrated and the other one is decentralized. Finally in the third form, both supply chains are...
Supply Chain Planning Considering Gray Markets
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Shavandi, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nowadays diversion of products from authorized distribution channels to the gray markets has been considered by manufacturers. There many cases that the products of main industries are supplied through gray markets. Gray markets are divided into two categories. The first category is parallel imports where an unauthorized distributor or a third party imports the products from a low price market into a market with high price. In most researches of parallel importation it is assumed that a monopoly manufacturer distributes its products in both two markets. In the second category of parallel importation researches, it is assumed that the manufacturer distributes the products in a certain market...
Parallel importation and price competition in a duopoly supply chain

Abstract
Nowadays, diversion of products distribution from authorised channels to the gray markets is one of the main challenges of manufacturers. Suppose an international supplier distributes the products in several countries with different prices. In parallel importation, there are unauthorised distributers who supply products with a lower price and import them to a higher price market. The problem of parallel importation considering a manufacturer and a competitor is analysed using the game theory approach in this article. We investigate the pricing strategy for manufacturers and the effect of unauthorised distributer on price, market share and profit. We also investigate the performance of...
Reactive Market Power Indices Analysis
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Ranjbar, Ali Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Reactive market power assessment is an important issue for ISOs and the regulators of the reactive power market. Due to the localized characteristics of reactive power as a technical support and its monopsonistic nature as an economic commodity, a vivid reactive market power index including market share, demand side and cost is not achieved yet. In this work, the existing market power indices in simple commodity markets and power markets are reviewed. Then the applicable indices to reactive power are introduced. Then, a new reactive market power index is presented which is based on bidding strategy deviation of the GENCOs in two types of simultaneous reactive markets. Considering its...
