A Coordination Mechanism of Supply Chain with a Retailer and Two Competitive Suppliers by Zhi-yang Liu, Yong Liu, Hui Li

“…To deal with coordination problem of a supply chain consisting of two competitive suppliers and a dominant retailer, considering these factors such as cooperation effort degrees and competition on the supply chain members, we establish a two-stage model considering cooperation effort degrees and competition of the suppliers from the perspectives of decentralized decision and centralized decision and exploit it to discuss the optional decisions and explore the impact of cooperation effort degrees on the profits of supply chain members. …”
