In this paper, we consider the coordination issue on a supply chain when the firm on this chain tries to produce new products. By considering the risk of new products, three contracts, constant wholesale price contract, revenue sharing contract and linear quantity discount policy, are investigated.

We study how interactions between financing and investment decisions can shape firm boundaries in dynamic product markets. In particular, we model a new product market opportunity as a growth option and ask whether it is best exploited by a large incumbent firm (Integration) or by a separate, specialized firm (Non-Integration).

When an innovative product is introduced into the market, consumers are often uncertain about the product value. Over time they may learn the value of product. This paper studies the impact of consumer learning on the firms' marketing efforts and revenue sharing strategies in a supply chain that sells an innovative product to consumers over multiple periods. Both the supplier and the retailer c...

Besides, as more and more social media web sites offer advertising-revenue sharing with some of their contributors, shared revenue provides an extra incentive for contributors who have joined revenue-sharing programs. we develop a dynami...

Predictive pricing (e.g., Google’s “Smart Pricing” and Yahoo’s “Quality-Based Pricing”) and revenue sharing are two important tools that online advertising networks can use in order to attract content publishers and advertisers. We develop a simple model of the pay-per-click advertising market to study the market effects of these tools. We then present an algorithm, PricingPolicy, for computing...

We assume that the manufacturer will either sell the items to the vendor outright or offer the items to the vendor on a revenue sharing (consignment) basis. In the latter case, that amount of money the vendor pays per unit is less than if the items are purc...

In this paper, we argue that the metaphor form of a comparison (i.e., a topic-vehicle pair) is preferred over, and more comprehensible than, the simile form when the interpretive diversity for that comparison is high. Interpretive diversity refers to the richness of the figurative meaning of a comparison; it is high to the extent that more features or properties are related to the figurative me...

Sports leagues constitute one of the few examples of legally operating cartels. In this paper I examine how gate revenue sharing may serve to coordinate talent investments within these cartels. I show that sharing revenues has the potential to raise cartel profits, because it decreases the incentive to invest in playing talent. Leagues consisting of teams with heterogeneous local markets should...
