We study the information sharing in a supply chain of manufacturer selling to two asymmetric retailers engaged inventory competition. The dominant retailer has strong bargaining power and market power, which means that it enjoys lower wholesale price can obtain part unmet demand transferred from weak retailer. offers As retailer’s private is unknown other participants, whether share players bec...

This paper investigates the quality and pricing decisions in a supply chain consists of one retailer two manufacturers. The updates trust value to manufacturers based on historical information product determine actual order quantity. We propose four game models by considering situations, i.e. , manufacturer-dominant scenario retailer-dominant scenario. Based theoretical numerical analysis, we o...

In a supply chain serving a market with random demand, a downstream retailer faces uncertainty in the availability of demand information. He may conduct market research but may not acquire useful insight into customer preferences or potential demand. Or, he may possess a large amount of transaction data but fail to translate the data into information that would provide guidance to pricing or st...

This paper considers advertising, collection and pricing decisions simultaneously for a closed-loop supplychain(CLSC) with one manufacturer(he) and two retailers(she). A multiplicatively separable new demand function is proposed which influenced by pricing and advertising. In this paper, three well-known scenarios in the game theory including the Nash, Stackelberg and Cooperative games are expl...

Considering a dual channel closed-loop supply chain composed of manufacturer and retailer, the retailer establishes online direct channels, four Stackelberg game models are constructed to study impact carbon tax different fairness concerns members on optimal strategies, such as emission reduction level, recycling pricing decisions etc. The results show that does not affect decision manufacturer...

This paper aims to investigate the uncertainty factors that impact the collection strategy of a remanufacturing closed-loop supply chain. The basis of this type of supply chain is the collection of used products, without which the remanufacturing of new products would be out of the question. In this paper, we considered the effect of stochastic disturbance on the collection process in a closed-...

We explore in this paper the performance of sales rebate contracts in fashion supply chains. We conduct both analytical and numerical analyses via a mean-variance framework with reference to real empirical data. To be specific, we evaluate the expected profits and variance of profits risk of the fashion supply chains, fashion retailers, and manufacturers under 1 the currently implemented sales ...

Advertising-driven demand is very common in practice. This paper considers pricing and advertising strategies issues a two-echelon supply chain involving manufacturer retailer. According to who undertakes the expenditure, both retailer-advertising case manufacturer-advertising are analyzed under Stackelberg framework. The crucial factor that affects strategy optimal profit for each p...

We assess the benefits of sharing demand forecast information in a manufacturer–retailer supply chain, consisting of a traditional retail channel and a direct channel. The demand is a linear function of price with a Gaussian primary demand (i.e., zero-price market potential). Both the manufacturer and the retailer set their price based on their forecast of the primary demand. In this setting, w...

Consider a supply chain involving an independent retailer and an independent manufacturer. The manufacturer produces a single product and sells it exclusively through the retailer. Using this supply chain framework, we develop a game theoretic model to study two commonly observed practices of selling extended warranties: the manufacturer offers the extended warranty directly to the end consumer...
