This research aims to shed light on the difference among three collection strategies for agricultural biomass, i.e. commitment strategy, pure competition strategy and vertical integration strategy. Firstly, the assumptions of biomass distribution, cost structure and market structure are applied to describe the agricultural biomass market, this lead to lead to a monotonous increasing inverse demand...
In this paper, hierarchical holographic modeling (HHM) is used to identify the risks in transport PPPs under the perspectives of contractual nature of PPPs, institution and cultural environment, and inadequate supervision. Then, we propose that the traditional financial audit approach can not effectively control risk on PPPs, and furthermore, we give an analytic framework of audit supervision for...
This paper proposes a cognitive model of shipping investment expertise by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach and judgmental process survey. Assessment of shipping assets is a complicated task includes both financial and technical aspects and requires high degree of expertise particularly for technical evaluation. As a supporting tool, a fuzzy extended AHP structured is designed by collecting...
This paper explains the phenomenon that taxi drivers of all over the country on strike with bounded rationality model, and draws several conclusions. First of all, Parties' limited cognition leads to contracts are incomplete, which will require renegotiation. The main reason of the strike is that taxi drivers own little power on the renegotiation but not the increased rent, unauthorized taxi and so...
In order to satisfy the Chinese enterprisespsila demand for the import of hi-tech equipment and reduction of costs during the import process, we need to construct an electronic alliance import platform for hi-tech equipment. This article attempts to apply the advantages of a large-scale electronic purchase platform for hi-tech equipment through the implementation of an "online reverse auction"...
The problem how the shipping proprietors stimulate their employees to reduce costs under asymmetric information is discussed on the basis of principal-agent theory. The shipping proprietors determine a contractual base according to their demand and how much the employees confirmed, and compare it with the actual cost so as to offer reward or penalty to the employees. Based on such contractual procedure,...
In order to explore the generation mechanism of adverse selection risk in the process of expressway concession right transfer, this paper establishes information screening model from the angle of main body behavior, using the game theory and the principles of information economics. Through the analysis on the model, it puts forward to some suggestion about risk prevention, namely: an improved contract...
This article mainly considers the profit distribution method in an upstream supply chain with manufacturer dominating, based on the balance of inventory cost and transportation cost. The profit distribution model is established to study three methods of profit distribution. The distribution coefficient lambda, which is specific and operative, can be got from the model solution. A numerical example...
Consider a two-echelon supply chain with one supplier and one retailer, and the products are perishable and sold over a single selling season. According to the classical newsvendor model, the retailer traditionally can only order products before the selling season. This paper discusses a situation in which the retailer can place a second order in the selling season. And supply chain members' optimal...
The practice of vendor-managed inventory (VMI) draws a high attention from both industrial and academic worlds. On the basis of previous studies, we introduce three parameters, namely the fixed and variable transportation cost, and the service cost per unit, to develop models for the following three scenarios by mainly employing the method used in Dong & Xu (Ref.13): (1) traditional supply chain...
Dynamic background modeling is an essential task for numerous visual surveillance applications such as incident detection and traffic management. Adaptive mixture models and nonparametric models are two popular methods for background modeling at present. However, it is usually too costly to perform for the both methods in real time, since they are both memory and computationally inefficient. To overcome...
