We set up a two level supply chain model which consists of one manufacturer and two retailers in this paper. Necessities as the main research object, we develop the nonlinear demand function of products which is more related to the reality. In order to increase the performance of whole supply chain in the decentralized decision, we introduce revenue sharing mechanism in this paper. Through nume...

Motivated by the influenza vaccine industry, we study a supply chain contracting problem under the presence of uncertainties that are related to product design, delivery, and demand, respectively. The supply chain consists of a manufacturer and a retailer, where the retailer places an order before the flu season starts and the manufacturer decides on when to produce the products. Because produc...

U a consignment contract with revenue sharing, a supplier decides on the retail price and delivery quantity for his product, and retains ownership of the goods; for each item sold, the retailer deducts a percentage from the selling price and remits the balance to the supplier. In this paper we show that, under such a contract, both the overall channel performance and the performance of individu...

T coordination of supply chains by means of contracting mechanisms has been extensively explored theoretically but not tested empirically. We investigate the performance of three commonly studied supply chain contracting mechanisms: the wholesale price contract, the buyback contract, and the revenue-sharing contract. The simplified setting we consider utilizes a two-echelon supply chain in whic...

During the silent era, movie producers rented the vast majority of their films to exhibitors for flat per-day fees, but a technology “shock” in the form of the coming of sound led to the widespread replacement of flat fees by revenuesharing. This paper seeks to determine why. It finds that sound technology altered the structure of incentives in movie exhibition, reducing the role of the exhibit...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of the local economy, as measured by municipal revenue and local unemployment rate, on sickness absence among the employed. DESIGN A prospective cohort study of 60 160 public sector employees (46 081 women, 14 079 men) with ecological measures of municipal revenue and local unemployment rate 1999-2000 and individual measures of sickness absence at bas...

A Comparison of Multiple-Unit All-Pay and Winner-Pay Auctions under Incomplete Information by Yasar Barut, Dan Kovenock, and Charles Noussair This paper examines the properties of independent-private-value all-pay and winner-pay auctions when there are multiple units sold. We study bidding behavior, efficiency and revenue in a set of nine experimental sessions, each with six bidders. All-pay au...

We study the coordination of supply chains with a risk-neutral supplier and a risk-averse retailer. Different from the downside risk setting, in a conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) framework, we show that the supply chain can be coordinated with the revenue-sharing, buy-back, two-part tariff and quantity flexibility contracts. Furthermore the revenuesharing contracts are still equivalent to the ...
