Study on mechanism of profit allocation in virtual enterprise based on shapley value considering harmony degree

The optimization of logistics system is an important topic in the area of transportation, especially how to allocate profit of every member can influence sustainable development of collaborative relationship. In this paper the collaborative concept is introduced to automobile manufacturing, and the structure formed by collaborative members including an automobile manufacturer, a logistics supplier and a logistics seller is set up for the first time. Among the members, the automobile manufacturer is the key member; the logistics supplier and the logistics seller are members with relative freedom. Then, a profit allocation method based on Shapley value with risk correction factor according to contribution degree is put forward. Last, several profit allocation methods are analyzed by an example, and the studying result shows that the method suggested in this paper does well in coordination with profit of every member in automobile manufacturing.

Profit Allocation

PurposeIn the context of sharing economy and online shopping, establishing a stable urban joint distribution alliance (JDA) is extremely necessary for the entire logistics service market. The purpose of this paper is to rationally allocate the profits and determine the most stable allocation scheme for the urban JDA as well as provide a direction for cooperation between express enterprises and lead managers to pay more attention to the comprehensive performance.Design/methodology/approachCooperative game-based methodologies including the proportion method, the core theory, nucleolus and Shapley value have been employed. Four criteria consisting of enterprise operation, customer satisfaction, environmental sustainability and information technology have been incorporated into Shapley value for improvement.FindingsThis paper reveals that express enterprises in logistics service market can achieve more benefit from JDA than those who operate separately. Among proposed profit allocation schemes, improved Shapley value scheme shows more rationality by considering partners’ asymmetric contribution. Besides, a stable alliance can be always ensured with partners’ lower propensity to disrupt and relatively balanced negotiation power under improved Shapley value scheme.Originality/valueThis paper makes a few attempts to contribute to the literature on the improvement of Shapley value and applies the concept of “propensity to disrupt” into the field of logistics. Besides, this paper provides various profit allocation schemes and incorporates influencing factors into Shapley value for an improvement thus helping policy-makers make better-informed decisions on urban distribution. Additionally, a case study based on urban express enterprises in Southwest China has been conducted to verify the proposed profit allocation schemes.
