Asymmetric evolutionary game among functional logistics service providers

Abstract

In this paper, we use the evolutionary game theory as a research tool to analyze the quality game among functional logistics service provider populations based on the logistics service supply chain and logistics service capabilities defined. As the importance of completing a logistics task cooperating is different with each other, we establish an asymmetric evolutionary game model among the functional logistics service providers. The research results show that: The game has two evolutionary stable strategies, the quality game within the functional logistics service provider populations will eventually make all providers choose the same strategy, which is, all providing high quality service products at the same time or all providing low quality service products simultaneously.
