Abstract

We investigate how a non-linear price schedule can be used to influence stocking decisions and supply chain performance in single period interactions between a supplier and buyer(s). In contrast to much of the work that has been done on single period supply contracts, we assume that there is no opportunity for ongoing interactions between the supplier and the buyers after demand information is revealed. Furthermore, we assume that there are either heterogeneous buyers that face different distributions of demand or that there is a single buyer that has better information about the distribution of demand than does the supplier.KeywordsSupply Chain ManagementChannel CoordinationChannels of DistributionAsymmetric Information
