and marketing p,e,ople,all demand products that improve their lifestyles or to gain an edge over the competition.So,product portfolios,are interesting for many people.But unlimited product variety is not a way to be successful;there has to be an optimum.It is true for most companies that the,Pareto rule,applies:80%of the sales and/or prots,come from 20%of the products.It is evident that a single,product cannot,fulll the manufacturer needs and on the,other hand,for diversity there exists limitation.,In todays highly competitive environment,determining an,optimal product portfolio is very important for the survival of a,rm.Optimal product portfolio has received considerable attention,because the rates of failure of new product portfolio and their,associated losses are very high.The whole,product,component,information,(,产品构建信息,),engineering,portfolio decisio,n,(,工程组合决策,),is,very crucial for the progress of a rm,because it is very costly and dif,fi,cult to change,.,The key questions are,what the best product portfolio is,and how manu,facturer can,nd it.,Product portfolio management,(PPM)is,a general business concept that analyze the,production ability,(生产能力),and,market potential,simultaneously,and then determine the best set of products to,offer,.,PPM is developed to direct a product and its diversity,including,not only,attributes,(,属性,),levels,and prices,but also analysis results,environmental,requirements,(,环保需求,),manufacturing procedures,(,生产流程,),product performance information,(,产品性能信息,),and,etc.,Therefore PPM has been classi,fi,ed as a combinatorial optimization problem.Each company strives for the optimality of its product offerings through various combinations of products.,The PPM problem may develop from,two perspectives:,(I)For,attract the opinion of customers,in target markets.,(II)For reduce,the manufacture engineering costs.First is the problem of marketing managers,and second is the problem of producer.,When both,of,them,compose with each other as reflect to utility of costumers and engineering costs,this problem becomes to miss link between sale and production chain,.,Jiao and Zhang(2005)consider the,customerengineering,interaction,in product portfolio planning,which aims,to create,product,family,specications(,产品族/系列规格,),for a target market segment,and proposed a,maximizing surplus share model,(,最大剩余,份额模型,),.,In,competitive environment,we determine our product portfolio with regard to products that offer by competitors,while the competitors manage their product portfolios in regard to our products.Game theory can be used to model this problem.,T,he proposed,model constructs product portfolio,based on,customerengineering interaction,model in product portfolio planning which is,developed by Jiao and Zhang,.Present paper extends previous works in PPM with regard to,customerengineering,concerns,and,competitive environment.,It is not,for any,speci,fi,c product,and it can be applied to a diversity of products or services,.,objective:,develop,a game theory-based,model as a procedure of nding optimal product portfolio,.,2.Literature review,A PPM is dened as a decision making that optimizes some criteria,such as,market share,.The main contribution of the most researches in,PPM is summarized in following issues:,1),Generating design,alternatives,via,multi-objective,optimization,(,通过多目标优化,生成,设计方案,),.,2),Accounting for,uncertainty and competition when estimating the achievement of business goals.,3)Applying,meta-heuristic algorithms,(,元启发式算法,),to solve a combinatorial,problem during the product line design.,The development of algorithms,Heuristic,(identify product prole product line design),algorithms,improved heuristic,algorithms,genetic algorithms,.,The development of models,1)Jiao and Zhang,proposed,a model,to,address the product portfolio planning problem,it,consider,s,customer preferences,choice probabilities and,platform based product costing.Also,a genetic algorithm procedure is applied.,2)Aiyoshi and Maki,pr,oposed a game problem under the,constraints of allocation of product,and market share simultaneously.Their research is considered several manufacturers in,oligopoly market,(,寡头垄断市场,),.This proposed model,on the one hand,had the competitive circumstance,but on the other hand,did not,has,details such as large variety of customers preferences,customerengineering concerns,etc,.,3)model in this paper,considers b,oth,details,and,competitive circumstance,.,3.Description of the PPM problem,Considering the rm capabilities to produce products,a set of product portfolios have been identied.Each product has certain desirability between customers.More specically,we consider a scenario in which a set of products,have been identied,given that the,manufacturer(m),has the capabilities(both design and production)to produce all these products,.A product portfolio,is a set consisting of some selected product.Combined,with the products,a set of product portfolios are created,.,相关参数,For example,if manufacturer,m,can produce 3 product,7 product portfolio are available:,(=7),Every product,is associated with certain engineering costs,denoted as .There are multiple market segments,S=s,1,.,s,g,.,s,G,each containing,homogeneous customers,with a,denite,size,Q,g,.The customerengineering interaction is,embodied in the decisions associated with customers choices of different products.Various customer preferences on diverse products are represented by respective utilities,(utility of the g,th,segment for the n,th,product of m,th,manufacturer).Product demands or market shares,(,market share of the gth segment,for the nth product of mth manufacturer,),are described by the probabilities of customers choosing products.Customers choose a product based on the,surplus,buyer rule,.They have,the option of not buying any products or buying competitors products.,We assume that competitors respond to the manufacturers moves,meaning that,the competition react by introducing new products.,4.Problem formulation,The present paper considers a market with G segments,S=s,1,.,s,g,.,s,G,and 2 manufacturers that each of them can,offer N,m,products,and J,m,product portfolios,.This gives the,bimatrix-game,(,双矩阵对策,),problem with 2 players and J,m,strategy for each,(m=1 or 2).,The payoff for each player will of course depend on the combined actions of both players.A payoff matrix shows what payoff,each player will receive at,the outcome of the game.For player,m(m=1 or 2),the payoff matrix,F,m,is as follows:,In summary,a J,1,J,2,bimatrix game,is played by two players,player 1 and player 2.Player 1 has a,fi,nite set and player 2 has a nite,set,of,pure strategies.The payoff matrixes,f,1,(,),of player 1,and,of player 2 are denoted by F,1,and F,2,respectively.This game is denoted by(F,1,F,2,).,Now the game(F,1,F,2,),is played as follows.Players 1 and 2 choose,independent of each other,a strategy,and,respectively.Here,can be seen as the probability,that player 1(2)chooses his,th,row(,th column).The(expected)payoff for player 1 is x,1,F,1,x,2,and the expected payoff to player 2 is x,1,F,2,x,2,.,A strategy pair,(),is an equilibrium for the game(F,1,F,2,)if,The set of all equilibria for the game(F,1,F,2,)is denoted by E(F,1,F,2,).By a,theorem of Nash,this set is non-empty for all,bimatrix,-,games(Nash,1950).,Some methods for calculating payoff matrix,arrays,are there(see Section 2).We used the function that proposed by Jiao and Zhang(2005).This function is based on customer-engineering interaction model in PPM.This is as follows:,Eq.(3)is the expected shared surplus by offering a product portfolio,consisting of,products,to customer segments,s,g,each with size Q,g,.The market potentials,Q,g,can be given exogenously at the outset or estimated through a variety of techniques based on historical data or test markets.The utility of the g,th,segment for the n,th,product of m,th,manufacturer is denoted as,.,This model assumes that customers only choose a,product with a positive surplus.The choice probability,that a customer or a segment,s,g,chooses a product,with N,com,competing products,is defined as follows:,where,u,is a,scaling parameter,(,尺度参数,),.,According to matrix(1)and Eq.(3),let the,function,be defined by,5.Example,In this section,a simple example to use the proposed model is presented.For simplicity,we consider a market with two competitor(M=2),and four different products(N,m,=4)for each.Feasible strategies,is defined as follows:,产品组合数=2,4,-,1=,15,?,Three segments are identified,i.e.,s,1,s,2,and s,3,.Q,1,Q,2,and Q,3,are assumed 0.2,0.3 and 0.5,respectively.,Table 1,shows the utilities of three segments to every product(,)and cost of each,(,).Also,scaling parameter(,u,)is supposed 0.8.Therefore,2 payoff matrixes F,1,and F,2,formed for manufacturer 1 and 2,separately.This game and obtained data from expected shared surplus values(Eq.(5)are summarized in,Fig.1,.,返回,The optimal result for each manufacturer is derived from the Nash equilibrium point of the game.A strategy pair,is an alone equilibrium for the game,.The related payoff pair is(0.74,0.83).,6.Conclusions and future work,This paper proposed a game theory-based model that is used to maximize the expected shared surplus for a product portfolio managed.The product portfolio management(PPM)is an important optimization problem that includes the large set of constraints and characteristics.Therefore,it is very helpful for a manager to use a marketing decision support system which provides him the acceptable solutions with considering more terms.According to this goal,a,game,theory-based model is proposed and applied to solve the problems involved in PPM.,There are potentially unlimited opportunities for research in PPM.,Future studies,can focus on other characteristics to achieve more ideal results.Other notable directions for future researches include allowing for sequential entry strategies,time varying utilities and changing customer behaviors.,The End !,返回,相关概念,纳什定理,:,在一个有n个博弈方的博弈G=S1,Sn:u1,un中,如果n是有限的,且Si
