Game theory in supply chain analysis. (English) Zbl 1138.91365
Simchi-Levi, David (ed.) et al., Handbook of quantitative supply chain analysis. Modeling in the e-business era. Boston, MA: Kluwer Academic Publishers (ISBN 1-4020-7952-4/hbk). International Series in Operations Research & Management Science 74, 13-65 (2004).
Summary: Game theory has become an essential tool in the analysis of supply chains with multiple
agents, often with conflicting objectives. This chapter surveys the applications of game theory to supply chain analysis and outlines game-theoretic concepts that have potential for future application. We discuss both non-cooperative and cooperative game theory in static and dynamic settings. Careful attention is given to techniques for demonstrating the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium in non-cooperative games. A newsvendor game is employed throughout to demonstrate the application of various tools.
