Vendor selection with bundling: a comment

Article Abstract:

Rosenthal et al. introduced a mixed integer linear programming model for solving the vendor selection problem for the case in which the vendor can sell items separately or as part of a bundle. Each vendor offered only one kind of bundle and the buyer can purchase at most one bundle per vendor. The model used n(m+1) binary variables, where n is the number of vendors and m is the number of products they sell. However, the model can cause a purchasing paradox because it may force the buyer to pay more to receive less. A reformulation of the problem to eliminate the paradox is presented.
