Journal Article
Yeo, G. T., Song, D., Dinwoodie, J., & Roe, M. (2009). Weighting the competitiveness factors for container ports under conflicting interests. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 61, 1249-1257. https://doi.org/10.1057/jors.2009.88

Generally, an evaluation of container port competitiveness is regarded as a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem which involves various stakeholders with conflicting interests. To solve MCDM problems, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP)... Read More about Weighting the competitiveness factors for container ports under conflicting interests.

Port integration in global supply chains: measures and implications for maritime logistics (2009)
Journal Article
Panayides, P., & Song, D. (2009). Port integration in global supply chains: measures and implications for maritime logistics. International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, 12, 133-145. https://doi.org/10.1080/13675560902749407

The aim of this article is to define and empirically develop measures of seaport integration in global supply chains and to infer implications for maritime logistics. A literature review identified four key parameters hypothesised to be part of the h... Read More about Port integration in global supply chains: measures and implications for maritime logistics.

Typology of long-term port efficiency Improvement paths: malmquist total factor productivity for world container ports. (2009)
Journal Article
Cheon, S., Dowall, D. E., & Song, D. (2009). Typology of long-term port efficiency Improvement paths: malmquist total factor productivity for world container ports. Journal of Infrastructure Systems, 15, 340-350. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28ASCE%291076-0342%282009%2915%3A4%28340%29

The global seaport sector made huge efforts in relation to port reform and technological development since the 1990s. This study attempts to systematically estimate the impacts of these efforts on world ports’ efficiency changes between 1991 and 2004...
