In order to investigate supply chain coordination and decision under customer balking stochastic demand, the article considers a two-echelon consisting of one manufacturer with risk-neutral retailer develops two models in centralized decentralized system three contracts are designed coordinate optimal price strategies obtained. The results show that revenue cost-sharing contract can price-depen...

Research on supply chain management (SCM) focuses “what” factors of a enable firms to achieve high performance. It examines the effect two strategically important pillars: relationships or capabilities. However their isolated investigation leads limited understanding “how” they can be combined increase firm In this study we argue that beyond direct effects relational and capability-based determ...

Supply chain management (SCM) has become an important management paradigm. As supply chain members are often separate and independent economic entities, a key issue in SCM is to develop mechanisms that can align their objectives and coordinate their activities so as to optimize system performance. In this paper, we provide a review of coordination mechanisms of supply chain systems in a framewo...

The aim of this chapter is to review various perspectives on supply chain (SC) coordination issues and appreciate a range of coordination categories and mechanisms. The application of information technology in supply chain coordination (SCC) and the related cases are also studied in this chapter. DOI: 10.4018/978-1-4666-2625-6.ch067

This study examines the effects of organizational flatness, coordination (cross-functional coordination, cross-plant coordination and supply chain coordination) and product modularity on mass customization capability (MCC) development. We develop a flatness-coordination-modularity-MCC model. Data from 317 firms located in ten countries across three industries are analyzed to test the research m...

We study competition and coordination in a supply chain in which a single supplier both operates a direct channel and sells its product through multiple differentiated retailers competing in quantities. We study analytically the supply chain with symmetric retailers and find that the supplier generally prefers to have as many retailers as possible in the market, even if the retailers’ equilibri...
