“…Also, it is discussed that some trading options exist for EVs for easy adaptation. Within the scope of the study of Yeung and Mok (2013), the trade style of dealers and parallel traders, as well as the sustainability of parallel imports, is highlighted, in addition to the importance of parallel imports in the strategies for all passenger vehicles produced and marketed by international corporations. They touched on how the production, price, and distribution strategies of multinational companies affect parallel imports and how they try to integrate them into their strategies.…”

Electric vehicle charge station layout planning: A case study in Istanbul Technical University campus

While the popularity of electric vehicles is rising, several studies have been conducted on the challenges surrounding charging stations. The choice of charging station layout planning is evaluated in this study, which is based on available parking capacity and potential vehicle users on campus. Its goal is to figure out how various data and different coverage methods affect optimal selection. These models aim to serve the regions within a specified distance with the least possible number of stations. The data are collected with geographic information system, and the Voronoi diagram is used to solve the models. The findings of the models have been compared, and station sites that were deemed suitable for the campus have been determined. Evaluation of three models allows the most appropriate solution for the campus to set up five stations and use a 700‐m service distance. In this study, an opportunity was created to observe how the added parameters affect the optimization model and the results.

“…Moving to the downstream part of the supply chain, Boyd and Okleshen Peters (2006) studied the case of the underground mall, a specific format of gray market that is emerging in the USA, which is becoming popular among consumers not only for the lower prices but also for social and entertainment reasons. In an attempt to understand why dealers undertake a gray market, Yeung and Mok (2013) analyzed the case of parallel imported automobiles, finding that the asset specificity and the opportunism of franchise dealers led to the parallel import of cars. The gray market has also been investigated from the perspective of the final consumer to understand the reasons that lead to the choice of buying products in the gray market.…”

Purpose From a supply chain perspective, counterfeiting is only part of a wider phenomenon defined as “illegitimate trade,” which includes supply chain infiltrations, factory overruns, gray and parallel markets, retail service counterfeiting and shoplifting. Although different forms of illegitimate trade can be observed, companies address them mainly through legal action, overlooking other counterstrategies such as technology adoption, supply chain integration and communication campaigns. This paper aims to understand which illegitimate trade phenomena are the most common and damaging to high-end fashion firms, identifying the counterstrategies that companies leverage the most and assessing the effectiveness of the counterstrategies. Design/methodology/approach A survey was conducted to address the above-mentioned research goals. It was targeted at Italian high-end fashion companies and 112 usable questionnaires were collected. Findings Empirical evidence shows that the most common illegitimate trade events are pure counterfeiting and parallel/gray markets. Various forms of illegitimate trade can co-exist and are correlated, but each of them calls for a targeted bundle of countering strategies. A synergic relationship among strategies is also observed. Originality/value This paper addresses the issue of counterfeiting and illegitimate trade with a holistic approach, highlighting the necessity of an interfunctional approach within the company as a condition for effectively countering these problems.

Yeung and Mok (2013) reported that the market share of parallel imported automobiles in Hong Kong and Singapore was 1 More specifically, countries choose between adopting national exhaustion and international exhaustion of intellectual property rights. Under national exhaustion, property rights expire only in the market where goods are initially sold.…”

This study explores the e↵ect of parallel imports on both domestic and foreign countries when the producer may refuse to provide repair and maintenance services for parallel imported units, or charge higher prices for those services. This service discrimination makes it possible for the producer to weaken intra-brand competition and reduce the degree of price convergence between countries. If this is the case, both the positive e↵ect of parallel imports on consumers in the destination country and the negative e↵ect on the producer and consumers in the source country become weaker. If the quality of the good depends on the producer's investment, permitting parallel imports in the presence of the service discrimination could lower the quality, because lower quality leads to a larger price gap between countries. As a result, it is possible that prices increase, consumers lose, and welfare deteriorates in both countries. This negative welfare e↵ect is more likely to emerge as the
