Public-private collaborations in emergency logistics: A framework based on logistical and game-theoretical concepts

Collaboration in emergency logistics can be beneficial for governmental actors when supply chains need to set up immediately. In comparison research on humanitarian-business partnerships, the body of literature so-called Public–Private Emergency Collaborations (PPEC) remains scarce. Private companies are only rarely considered within collaborations, although they serve as an important chain efficient goods given their resources and existing communication networks. Based this gap, we contribute field by quantitatively evaluating public–private collaboration logistics. A framework collaborations is developed based logistical game-theoretical concepts. addition, characterize both public private actors’ possible roles real cases. Furthermore, provide a structured overview PPECs challenges confronted with. The game-theoretic PPEC model created paper provides more detailed information into motivation incentives partners involved collaborations. Inspired accounts conventional sheds light partners’ participation constraints (which define scope collaboration), effects outcome if contributions strategic substitutes, reputational effects. Finally, illustrate how mechanism design approach used state transform firm’s lower levels undersupply or deprivation.
