Facing market competition, container carrier and port operator will establish a strategic partnership to gain an advantage. Risk is the core issue of the partnership. For understanding the nature and purposes of partnership, this paper examines the risk by evaluating the ratio of gap between subjective and objective expected profits to the standard deviation. Three types of partnership, four risk factors, and two stages of risk stochastic process are formulated. In the case study, this paper evaluates the partnering risk for both the Keelung Harbor Bureau and container carriers. The simulation results indicate that input resources have a positive correlation with the expected revenue of partnering as well as the gap of the partner s perception. Moreover, the more market share the container carrier has, the greater the gap is. It is also shown that the port operator would expect larger revenue gap when partnering with a container carrier possessing more market share. From the port operator viewpoint, partnership with the lower market share container carrier will have a larger gap in expected revenue. The larger the size of container carrier is, the more gap the expect revenue has. |
