The rapid growth of on-demand food delivery services has posed significant challenges in logistics optimization. This study focuses on a formerly leading food delivery company in Uzbekistan, which faced difficulties in meeting customer expectations due to high demand and inefficiencies in courier allocation. The research applied Discrete Event Simulation (DES) theory to analyze courier utilization, waiting times, and delivery performance. The model incorporated district-based clustering, queueing theory, stochastic simulation modeling, model validation and performance evaluation to evaluate various operational scenarios. Findings reveal that integrated models reduce delivery times by 1.6 times, enhance throughput, and provide actionable strategies for urban delivery optimization. The results contribute to both academic literature and managerial practice in emerging markets.

Competition from the informal sector, including digital platforms, presents a significant challenge for formal companies. In response to this pressure, formal firms may introduce innovations that provide them with a competitive advantage. Using a probit model, this study examines the relationship between informal competitive pressure and the innovation activities of formal firms, based on enterprise survey data conducted by the World Bank in Uzbekistan in 2019. The results indicate that informal competition increases the likelihood of innovative activity in formal companies by 7 percentage points, holding other variables at an average level. Additionally, holding international certifications and membership in trade organizations increase the likelihood of innovation by 13.9% and 14.5%, respectively. Although informal competition has a significant positive effect on the adoption of innovative products/services, it may also have other implications; therefore, policy recommendations should consider measures to reduce the level of informality in the economy.
