Abstract

The case is a continuation of Lesser Antilles Lines, which describes the price competition between two duopolistic shipping companies facing inelastic demand for cargo volume. Customers have inelastic and time-sensitive demands, restricting their strategic possibilities. The case extends this setting to multiple competitors using a multinomial logit model of customer demand.
