Coordinating a tourism supply chain using cooperative advertising under various channel power structures

چکیده
We analyze a tourism supply chain containing a theme park, local hotels, and multiple travel agents using a game theoretic approach in three scenarios: Nash equilibrium, Stackelberg equilibrium, and full cooperation. We find that a vertical cooperative advertising strategy is particularly effective in increasing customer demand.

متن کاملA Model for Cooperative Advertising and Pricing Decisions in Manufacturer-Retailer Supply Chain with Discount: A Game Theory Approach
Coordinating the supply chain is among the most important subjects that is extensively addressed in the related literature. If a supply chain is to be coordinated, it is equivalent to say that we must solve a problem related to competition and cooperation. The game theory is obviously one of the most effective methods to solve such problems, in which the players of the supply chain are assumed ...

This article studies the optimization of pricing decisions in a supply chain with different channels under different power structure. Three different channel will be considered here; these include: the decentralized, the semi-integrated, and the integrated channel. There are two types of power balance structures for both the decentralized and the semi-integrated channels. The first type is a le...
