This paper studies how product design and pricing strategies are affected by the existing relationship between characteristics that integrate product. The analysis shows complementarity low substitutability encourage provision of quality incorporated to products increase distortion cannibalization problems common in segmented markets. A two-product strategy with a attribute is shown be feasible...

Why do incumbent firms innovate more slowly than entrants? This incumbententrant timing gap is the key to understanding the industry dynamics of “creative destruction.” Theories predict cannibalization between existing and new products delays incumbents’ innovation, whereas preemptive motives accelerate it, and incumbents’ cost (dis)advantage would further reinforce these tendencies. To empiric...

In many settings where spatial preemption might be expected to produce tightly concentrated industry structures, firms share the market instead. Using a strategic investment model, I show that this can be rationalized by heterogeneous brand preferences, which cause new product introductions by incumbent firms to disproportionately cannibalize sales from existing affiliated products. I then pres...

This article considers supply chain competition in which two symmetric manufacturers compete both the new and remanufactured products markets. To engage remanufacturing, competing must appropriately determine their remanufacturing capability design to facilitate remanufacturing. inevitably changes manufacturers’ cost structure terms of fixed variable costs. The problem is formulated as a two-st...

Due to income constraints, increased awareness of environmental protection and preference for new products, consumers generate switching purchases between remanufactured which often lead a “cannibalization effect” in the market, make sellers fall into vicious circle price reduction. Considering consumers’ purchase behavior, this study examines pricing problem products competitive market environ...

Competition between times series often arises in sales prediction, when similar products are on sale a marketplace. This article provides model of the presence cannibalization series. creates "competitiveness" function that depends external features such as price and margin. It also theoretical guaranty error under some reasonable conditions, implement this using neural network to compute compe...

We study mergers among firms that compete by simultaneously choosing price and location. The merged firm moves its two products away from each other to reduce cannibalization, and the nonmerging firms move their products in between the merging firm’s products. Post-merger repositioning increases product variety, which benefits consumers, but repositioning also affects post-merger prices in two ...
