“…Also related to our theme here, in part, is the use of GNE supply chain models in disaster relief (cf. Nagurney, Alvarez Flores, Soylu, 2016 , Nagurney, 2018 ; Nagurney, Dutta, 2019 , Nagurney, 2020a , Nagurney, 2020b ) and in healthcare ( Nagurney & Dutta, 2019 ). We emphasize that both Nash Equilibrium and Generalized Nash Equilibrium are applied in this paper, for the first time, for supply chain network competition with labor.…”

“…Nevertheless, how resource scarcity affects social enterprises is not uniform. For example, non-profit organizations with more convenient locations and higher service quality often receive larger donations (Nagurney & Dutta, 2019 ), possibly because some donors are more interested in helping certain regions over others (Çelik et al, 2012 ). Indeed, donation inequality has been a prevalent concern in fundraising for social causes (Chakraborty & Ewens, 2018 ).…”

Humanitarian social enterprises (HSEs) are facing mounting pressure to incorporate social innovation into their practice. This study thus identifies how HSEs leverage organizational capabilities toward developing social innovation. Specifically, it considers how resource scarcity and operating circumstances affect the capabilities used by HSEs for developing social innovation, using a longitudinal case study approach with qualitative data from 12 hunger-relief HSEs operating in the United States. Based on 59 interviews with 31 managers and directors and related documents, several propositions are posited. The findings suggest that resource availability (i.e., scarcity vs. abundance) leads some HSEs to focus on developing social innovation using their collaborative capabilities, while others leverage their absorptive capacity. Further, HSEs adjust their approach to developing social innovation based on whether they are operating in ordinary circumstances (i.e., before the COVID pandemic) or extraordinary ones (i.e., during the COVID pandemic). Interestingly, the findings suggest that the organizational capabilities used by HSEs are adjusted as these enterprises become more familiar with extraordinary operating circumstances. For example, at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, resource-scarce HSEs focused on parallel bricolage to develop social innovation. Subsequently, they focused on selective bricolage. The findings offer novel insights by relating the social innovation of social enterprises to crisis management.

“…Nguyen et al (2008) and Schlumpf et al (2008)) that address the various operational factors at the blood collection sites that affect donor retention and recruitment. Nagurney and Dutta (2018) used empirical findings to formulate a game theory model using variational inequality theory in which blood service organizations utilize their quality of service at the blood collection sites to compete with one another for donors.…”

In this paper, we present a multitiered competitive supply chain network model for the blood banking industry, with a focus on the United States, that captures the economic interactions between three tiers of stakeholders; namely, the blood service organizations, the hospitals or medical centers, which transfuse blood to patients, and the payer groups that patients belong to. In addition, the supply chain framework for this life-saving product includes the competition among blood service organizations and their various supply chain activities. We model the behavior of each category of stakeholder and use the theory of variational inequalities to derive the equilibrium conditions for the entire supply chain. Illustrative examples are provided, along with qualitative properties, followed by an algorithm, accompanied by convergence results, that is used to solve simulated numerical examples. Results from these examples demonstrate that such a model can be effectively used to determine the prices and blood pathways from blood service organizations to hospitals to payers.
