Surviving in a competitive spatial market: The threshold capture model Serra, Daniel Revelle, Charles Rosing, Ken discrete facility location threshold competitive location Operations Management Most facility location decision models ignore the fact that for a facility to survive it needs a minimum demand level to cover costs. In this paper we present a decision model for a firm that wishes to enter a spatial market where there are several competitors already located. This market is such that for each outlet there is a demand threshold level that has to be achieved in order to survive. The firm wishes to know where to locate its outlets so as to maximize its market share taking into account the threshold level. It may happen that due to this new entrance, some competitors will not be able to meet the threshold and therefore will disappear. A formulation is presented together with a heuristic solution method and computational experience. 2017-07-26T10:50:41Z 2017-07-26T10:50:41Z 1999-02-01 2017-07-23T02:04:20Z info:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaper Economics and Business Working Papers Series; 359 L'accés als continguts d'aquest document queda condicionat a l'acceptació de les condicions d'ús establertes per la següent llicència Creative Commons http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
