This study analyzes the changes that have occurred in food logistics in the three years since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the one year since the war in Ukraine commenced. Food logistics companies are highly sensitive to demand shocks, energy prices, and staff availability. In this study, “first-hand” information was collected in the Iberian Peninsula, and it showed a process of Schumpeterian transformation. This crisis environment in which food logistics companies have been operating has opened a unique opportunity to renew operating procedures and seek new solutions, products, and markets. Therefore, food logistics companies have developed more effective communication strategies and innovative, profitable, and forwardlooking commercial strategies to adapt to the new needs of their clients, applied more efficient transport planning and management methods, implemented new technologies to increase automation and digitization in warehouses, transport platforms, and trucks, and boosted market concentration and investment in infrastructure. Therefore, public authorities and top executives must focus on promoting and facilitating these improvements....
Motivating active participation in e-commerce logistics alliances to enhance delivery efficiency and customer satisfaction has long been a societal interest. Leveraging the quantum game theory, this paper develops a model for incentivizing collaboration within these alliances. This model enables theoretical and numerical analysis of members’ strategies and entanglement levels.Thefindings show that quantum strategies increase members’ profits, achieving Nash equilibriums and Pareto optimal outcomes, outperforming the classical game theory. In addition, the size of quantum entanglement emerges as a critical determinant influencing members’ active participation in collaborative distribution. Strengthening information sharing and aligning interests can enhance entanglement levels among members, making them more inclined to adopt strategies promoting active involvement in collaborative distribution. Moreover, members can adapt their strategies based on the initial entanglement in collaborative distribution, thereby incentivizing participation and reducing ethical risks. In conclusion, through numerical analysis, we present relevant strategies and recommendations for incentivizing collaborative distribution within e-commerce logistics alliances....
Logistics service connects various fields of social and economic activities and is one of the industries with high energy consumption and carbon emissions. The carbon peaking target and carbon neutrality target will force the low-carbon transformation of China’s economy. In order to achieve the goal of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”, the logistics industry is facing the pressure of green transformation. However, green logistics is a new logistics concept produced under the background of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”. At the current stage, with the shortage of resources in the world and the increasing requirements for sustainable development, green logistics has also ushered in a very big development opportunity. At the current stage, the development of green logistics in China is not perfect enough, and there are many consciousness problems, system problems and technical problems, so it is necessary to explore the status quo and countermeasures of green logistics development under the background of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality” in order to promote the development of green logistics. This paper studies the development status and countermeasures of green logistics under the background of “carbon peaking and carbon neutrality”, and provides feasible suggestions for the development of green logistics....
This study aims to investigate the research and development (R&D) competition within the supply chain, focusing on two aspects: R&D competition at the manufacturing level and competition in pricing strategies. This paper establishes a dynamic game model of R&D competition, comprising two manufacturers and two retailers, with both manufacturers exhibiting bounded rationality. Thekey findings are as follows: (1) an increase in the adjustment speed positively affects the chaotic nature of the R&D competition system, leading to a state of disorder. This chaotic state has adverse implications for manufacturing profitability. (2) The spillover effect exhibits a positive relationship with the level of chaos in the R&D competition system. A greater spillover effect contributes to a more turbulent environment, which subsequently impacts the profitability of manufacturers. (3) R&D cost parameters exert a positive influence on the stability of the R&D competition system. When the system reaches a state of equilibrium, an escalation in the R&D cost parameters poses a threat to manufacturer profitability. (4) Retailer costs play a detrimental role in the stability of the R&D competition system. As retailer costs increase, there is a decline in R&D levels, thereby diminishing manufacturer profitability. (5) To mitigate the chaotic state, we propose the implementation of the time-delayed feedback control (TDFC) method, which reflects a more stable state in the R&D competition system....
In this Article, we observe the Logistic--Map Ansatz, which is a popular forecasting Model to estimate the Market Penetration of new technologies in Time evolution. Especially we focus on the Substitution Process of regenerative resources for electro-energy in B.R.D. as a Case Study using real available Data. The Aim of this Article is to develop some specific Models that could represent Logistic Growth implying explicitly the Fractality as the Substitution Dynamics is characterized by high Complexity and fractal Characteristics. According to this Target, we consider a specific Fokker-Planck Ansatz, which could represent the time-fractional Evolution of the Substitution Grade. Further, we implement a relaxation Model, which focuses on the time Evolution of the Expected Value of the Substitution Grade. Additionally, a time-discrete Hybrid model is proposed and a concrete Application of Homotopy Methode delivers interesting Results....
