Inevitably, there is a tension between the provision of services in a market society and the management of crime risks in both public and private sectors. As central media of exchange in global networks, credit, debit and charge cards can never avoid the risk of crime entirely: the primary goals of corporations are profit maximisation rather than maximum crime reduction. There will always be so...

A panoply of retailer practices, such as advertising loss leaders or marketing house brands, take advantage of third party trademarks to increase the retailer’s profit. In a sense, trademark owners create spillover benefits for these retailers (I call these benefits “brand spillovers”). This Article examines the phenomenon and legal treatment of brand spillovers. In general, retailers have not ...

Optimization modeling and simulation of the autothermal reactor in the methanol production process was effectively done using the quasi –Newton scheme of optimization in Aspen Hysys 2006.5. The primary variables selected for this modeling were heat flow value of the following: Steam1;steam2; coolant1; coolant2; coolant3. After running the process optimization simulation, total cost was minimize...

This study focuses on evolutionary game analysis of supply chain (SC) strategies with fairness concerns. First, the equilibrium solutions under eight combined are obtained through Stackelberg game. Subsequently, theory is applied to analyze stability these and discuss strategy tripartite The suggests that effect distributional concerns SC pricing differs from peer-induced in short term. Implant...

Based on the cooperation between retailer and third-party network platform, this article used consumer valuation model considering sale price and logistics factors. It calculated the optimal sale price and logistics service level in both traditional channel and internet channel and then get the maximal profit. By discussing the range of wholesale price, it analyzed the respective profits of ret...

Design of network systems is an engineering effort of providing communication services. In this paper, we investigate a strategic implication of design decision on channel coordination. In our model, the system is designed by an upstream monopoly vendor and used by downstream retailers who provide service to end users. We show that the joint presence of demand uncertainty and intra-channel comp...

We propose an economic supply chain model that accounts for typical inefficiencies resulting from low visibility of the flow of consumer goods. Using realistic numerical input values for the model, we illustrate how the profit distribution among manufacturer and retailer changes as item-level RFID is used for different purposes along the consumer goods supply chain. Applying basic Game Theoreti...

Retailers, particularly those in the style-goods and fashion apparel industry, are increasingly demanding guaranteed profit margins (GPMs) from their vendors. Under a GPM stipulation, a vendor has to offer a rebate to maintain the retailer’s target margin on the item if the retailer is compelled to take a markdown from the initial price to sell out the ordered quantity for the season. Vendors d...

Large-scale projects often have several activities which are performed by subcontractors with limited multi-resources. Project scheduling with limited resources is one of the most famous problems in the research operations and optimization cases. The resource-constraint project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a NP-hard problem in which the activities of a project must be scheduled to reduce the p...

the choice of which products to stock among numerous competing products and how much space to allocate to those products are central decisions for retailers. this study aimed to apply data mining approach so that, we got needed information from large datasets of sale transactions to find the relations between products and to make product assortments. thus, we represented a model for product ass...
