In last-mile delivery, due to its efficiency advantage over home delivery, collection delivery points (CDP) strategy is adopted widely by express companies but implemented in different modes: some express companies build CDP networks by themselves but some other cooperate with third-party CDP networks. In recent years, a new business-to-business sharing mode has emerged: express companies with CDP networks share them with those without. Motivated by this phenomenon, to examine express companies’ CDP network sharing strategy, we consider a competitive express service market comprising one express company with CDP network (CDP provider) and one without (CDP receiver). We find that the CDP network sharing always benefits CDP provider. However, interestingly, it hurts CDP receiver when CDP strategy’s efficiency advantage is large. Therefore, CDP provider can lower the usage fee charged to stimulate CDP receiver to accept the sharing offer. Consequently, CDP provider can always reach an agreement on CDP sharing with CDP receiver. Furthermore, we examine the impact of CDP sharing on market potential. More interestingly, CDP sharing leads to a double-win outcome in certain situations, even though it has some negative impact on market potential. Our findings provide implications for express companies having options to participate in CDP network sharing.

最后一公里物流市场收派点网络共享策略分析

在最后一公里配送中，由于相对于送货上门的效率优势，集递点（CDP）策略被快递公司广泛采用，但实施方式不同：有的快递公司自建CDP网络，有的快递公司与第三方合作CDP 网络。近年来，出现了一种新的企业间共享模式：拥有CDP网络的快递公司与没有CDP网络的快递公司共享。受这一现象的启发，为了考察快递公司的CDP网络共享策略，我们考虑了一个竞争性的快递服务市场，其中包括一家拥有CDP网络的快递公司（CDP提供商）和一家没有CDP网络的快递公司（CDP接收者）。我们发现CDP网络共享总是有利于CDP提供商。然而，有趣的是，当CDP策略的效率优势很大时，它会伤害CDP接收者。因此，CDP提供者可以降低收取的使用费来刺激CDP接收者接受共享报价。因此，CDP提供者总能与CDP接收者就CDP共享达成一致。此外，我们还研究了 CDP 共享对市场潜力的影响。更有趣的是，CDP共享在某些情况下会带来双赢的结果，尽管它对市场潜力有一些负面影响。我们的研究结果为快递公司选择参与 CDP 网络共享提供了启示。
