Sensitivity Analysis for Identifying the Critical Productivity Factors of Container Terminals

payoffs for container terminal operators in the container handling industry is presented in [8]. It is based on the integration of Bowley’s linear model of aggregate demand of product differentiation with Porter’s “Diamond” model. The authors developed ten competitive strategies for container terminal operators in order to present a theoretical scenario of two competing container terminal operators to exemplify the effectiveness of these strategies in terms of the number of TEUs handled, prices charged, and profits earned. The data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology has been applied to the evaluation of
