Abstract

Hoy en día los negocios están experimentando una nueva dinámica de expansión acompañada de una estrategia que conlleva un mayor posicionamiento ya sea de concepto, marca, producto o una combinación de éstos. Por medio de un modelo de localización y el uso de un juego en dos etapas, medimos ante diversos escenarios de competencia las externalidades generadas por los efectos de la presencia de una red de sucursales o puntos de venta, tanto para los consumidores como para las empresas, partiendo del hecho de que ambos buscan maximizar sus respectivas utilidades. Los resultados del modelo revelan que la cobertura del mercado sí tiene un efecto en variables como calidad percibida del producto, precio, y al mismo tiempo estas situaciones afectan el nivel de competencia ante la presencia de empresas rivales. / Nowadays, businesses have experienced a new dynamic of expansion together with the need of a positioning strategy that has to do with either the concept, the brand, the product or a combination of them. By using a location model and a two stage game we measure in several different competition scenarios the externalities generated by the effects of the presence of a network of branches or selling points, for both the consumers and the firms, taking into account that both look for the maximization of their utilities and profits respectively. The results from the model show that market coverage has an effect over variables such as perceived quality, price, utility and profits. And at the same time these situations affect the level of competition under the presence of rival firms.
