Fairness and Channel Coordination
W incorporate the concept of fairness in a conventional dyadic channel to investigate how fairness may affect channel coordination. We show that when channel members are concerned about fairness, the manufacturer can use a simple wholesale price above her marginal cost to coordinate this channel both in terms of achieving the maximum channel profit and in terms of attaining the maximum channel ...
متن کاملStrategic Decentralization and Channel Coordination
In this paper, we show that under certain conditions, strategic decentralization through the addition of a retailer in the distribution channel can increase a manufacturer’s profits. The specific case on which we focus is the quantity coordination (double marginalization) problem for a manufacturer selling durable goods in a two-period setting. We show that the standard solution that coordinate...
متن کاملCoordination, Differentiation and Fairness in a Population of Cooperating Agents
In a recent paper, we analyzed the self-assembly of a complex cooperation network. The network was shown to approach a state where every agent invests the same amount of resources. Nevertheless, highly-connected agents arise that extract extraordinarily high payoffs while contributing comparably little to any of their cooperations. Here, we investigate a variant of the model, in which highly-co...
متن کاملFairness and Coordination Failures in Supply Chain Contracts
Channel coordination using contracts is a topic that commanded a great deal of attention in the supply chain management literature. Several recent studies that tested the performance of coordinating contracts in the laboratory found that they fail to coordinate channels, and a major reason for this failure is that a significant proportion of offers are rejected. Our study extends the body of re...
متن کاملDesign for Channel Coordination
Design of network systems is an engineering effort of providing communication services. In this paper, we investigate a strategic implication of design decision on channel coordination. In our model, the system is designed by an upstream monopoly vendor and used by downstream retailers who provide service to end users. We show that the joint presence of demand uncertainty and intra-channel comp...
