This research studies a case where there are two manufacturers producing competing products and selling them through a common retailer. The consumer demand depends on two factors: (1) retail price, and (2) service level provided by the manufacturer. Game-theoretic framework is applied to obtained the equilibrium solutions for every entities. This article studies and compares results from three ...

In a two-stage supply chain composed of one manufacturer and one retailer, the pricing and retail service decisions are researched in an uncertain environment. The manufacturing cost, retail cost and market demand are all characterized as uncertain variables. In consideration of the different market power of the manufacturer and the retailer, three non-cooperative games are analyzed, and their ...

We consider a cooperative advertising channel consisting of a manufacturer selling its product through a retailer in competition with another independent retailer. The manufacturer subsidizes its retailer’s advertising only when a certain threshold is positive. Moreover, the manufacturer’s support for its retailer is higher under competition than in its absence.

Companies operating global supply chains in various industries struggle with parallel importers diverting goods from authorized channels to gray markets. While the existing gray market literature mainly focuses on pricing, in this paper we develop a model to examine the role of demand enhancing services as non-price mechanisms for coping with gray markets. We consider a manufacturer that sells ...

We construct a model of a local ketchup market of a city in Texas that accounts for household, manufacturer, and retailer decisions. That is, the model develops both the demand and the supply side of the market. The demand side is modeled through a latent utility framework allowing for the ‘no-purchase’ option. Accounting for both sides of the market allows one to check for any endogeneity prob...

Supply chain management is a crucial task of managing large organizations. In a decentralized supply chain each member focuses on maximizing his own profit. As a result of it, the conflict between the manufacturer and the retailers will arise. To avoid this sort of situations, coordination model strike a balancing between the profit of manufacturers and retailers. This paper investigates a two ...

In this research, we examine the impact of a negative demand disruption on trade promotions strategy, where suppliers offer discounted prices to online supply chain retailers. To analyze various factors that affect promotion strategies, develop Stackelberg game model determine optimal pricing for both manufacturers and retailers, as well order quantity Our findings indicate through an appropria...

Supply chain management of perishable products has to use some mechanisms control the product waste amount. Dynamic pricing and cooperation members are which mitigate This paper studies dynamic problem a supply with one manufacturer, retailer, two periods: production selling periods. The considers price markdown policy manage total quality-dependent stochastic demand: dividing period into diffe...

To investigate pricing strategy and coordination mechanisms of the dual-channel supply chain with a retailer that has countervailing power to manufacturer, we consider effect product variety in developing decentralized centralized game models. By solving these modes comparing results, find following: (i) The retailer's offline retail price is greater than online manufacturer when market share s...
