Selling a Product Line Through a Retailer When Demand is Stochastic: Analysis of Price-Only Contracts
To expand sales, many manufacturers try to develop and sell product lines. Frequently, however, the operations of distributing a product line creates tension between manufacturers and retailers as they do not necessarily agree on which product versions included in the product line should be sold to consumers. To mitigate this tension, previous literature has shown that if a manufacturer (he) wa...
متن کاملOptimal Inventory Policies when Purchase Price and Demand Are Stochastic
In this paper we consider the problem of a firm that faces a stochastic (Poisson) demand and must replenish from a market in which prices fluctuate, such as a commodity market. We describe the price evolution as a continuous stochastic process and we focus on commonly used processes suggested by the financial literature, such as the geometric Brownian motion and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. ...
متن کاملStrategic Behavior in Service Networks under Price and Service Level Competition
Decentralized service providers specialize on contributing their core competency to an overall goal. This paper focuses on the strategic behavior of service providers within Service Value Networks. We present an abstract model as a formalization of a service value network. The model comprehends an auction-based mechanism design to allocate multiattribute service offers within the network and to...
متن کاملModeling and solving a three-stage fixed charge transportation problem considering stochastic demand and price
This paper considers a three-stage fixed charge transportation problem regarding stochastic demand and price. The objective of the problem is to maximize the profit for supplying demands. Three kinds of costs are presented here: variable costs that are related to amount of transportation cost between a source and a destination. Fixed charge exists whenever there is a transfer from a source to a...
متن کاملDynamic price competition with capacity constraints and a strategic buyer
We analyze a simple dynamic durable good oligopoly model where sellers are capacity constrained. Two incumbent sellers and potential entrants choose their capacities at the start of the game. We solve for equilibrium capacity choices and the (necessarily mixed) pricing strategies. In equilibrium, the buyer splits the order with positive probability to preserve competition; thus it is possible t...
