Price Competition Between Two Leader-Follower Supply Chains, A Case Study

Authors

Abstract:

We model a real-world case problem as a price competition model between two leader-follower supply chains that each of them consists of one manufacturer and one retailer. T he manufacturer produces partially differentiated products and sells to market through his retailer. The retailer sells the products of manufacturer to market by adding some values to the product and gains margin as a fraction of the all income of selling products. We use a two-stage Stackelberg game model to investigate the dynamics between these supply chains and obtain the optimal prices of products. We explore the effect of varying the level of substitutability coefficient of two products on the profits of the leader and follower supply chains and derive some managerial implications. We find that the follower supply chain has an advantage when the products are highly substitutable. Also, we study the sensitivity analysis of the fraction of requested margin by retailer on the profit of supply chains.

Applying Stackelberg Game to Find the Best Price and Delivery Time Policies in Competition between Two Supply Chains

In this paper, the competition between two supply chains and their elements is studied. Each chain consisted of a manufacturer and a distributor and the two chains compete in a market with single type of customer sensitive to price and delivery time. Therefore, this is a two-supply chain game and during the competition between two supply chains, elements of each supply chain (manufacturer and/o...

Leader-Follower Relationships from Trajectory Data – a Case Study

The leader-follower phenomenon is natural for many mobile objects acting collectively. It is possible to find the leader of such collective motion from trajectory data and use it to understand the motion pattern of the group. This work proposes a technique for detecting leader-follower relationships from trajectories of mobile objects, and represents them as a graph sequence. We apply this meth...

Efficiency of Competing Supply Chains under Price Competition

Consider a multi-channel supply chain (hereafter SC) system, producing and distributing two substitutable products. Within this framework, we study the SC efficiency by comparing several decentralized SC configurations with a centralized one. Our result show that it is often possible to achieve 93.5% or more of the total profit of a centralized SC in a decentralized configuration, which suggest...

Price Competition of Supply Chains under Demand Uncertainty

We study the price competition of two supply chains with demand uncertainty. Each supply chain consists of one risk-averse manufacturer and one risk-averse retailer. We consider two cases: two competing decentralized supply chains and two competing integrated supply chains. We analyze the effects of the demand uncertainty on the supply chains’ expected profits. In the first case, we find that t...
