We consider a supply chain involving one supplier and one retailer in which a revenuesharing contract is adopted. Under this contract, the retailer can obtain the product from the supplier at a discounted price. As a compensation, the retailer must share his revenue with the supplier at a certain revenue-sharing rate, say r (0 ≤ r ≤ 1), where r represents the portion of the revenue to be kept b...

In this paper we consider a single inventory (newsboy) problem in which the vendor has a limited amount of funds to purchase items to sell. 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...

One of the most important things in pursuit of supply chain management is to prevent sub-optimization caused by decentralized decision making over the various entities. As a solution of the issue, supply chain coordination approach has frequently been used. However, a coordinated supply chain might fail to provide additional profit to one of the players. A supply chain contract can be to achiev...

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...

The paper establishes a supply chain coordinating model based on single 4PL-multy 3PL. Considering goods loss and damage, it comes to the conclusion that the fixed revenue-sharing contract couldn't be coordination when the yields was relative to the efforts of 3PL and 4PL. In order to get the coordination, we first model a fixed revenue-sharing contract based on side payment using L-F model and...

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...

With the rapid development of electronic commerce, many manufacturers choose to establish dualchannel supply chains. To promote sales, the manufacturer in a dual-channel supply chain usually invests in national advertising and provides support to the retailer who promotes the goodwill through local advertisement. In our research, we use a Stackelberg differential game theoretic model to show th...
