Abstract: We consider an original equipment manufacturer OEM procures key components
from component suppliers to produce a final product. The component supplier she may
implement an ingredient branding strategy through her own advertising campaign using
cooperative advertising program. We model the impact of marketing effort on the channel
members goodwill levels in a modified Nerlove- Arrow framework. We first consider a single
supplier and then extend to the cases of two suppliers in which the suppliers are independent,
allied and keep two brands and allied and keep one brand. Equilibrium subsidy rates and
advertising efforts of the suppliers and OEM are derived.

Firms’ profits and consumer surplus when a retailer contemplates selling
online
Yu Xiaowen Peking University Zheng Xiaona Peking University
Su Meng Peking University Abstract: The rapid development of information
technologies has made it easier for the retailers to engage in online sales. As a consequence,
online stores operated by traditional retailers have increased dramatically. This paper
investigates how a retailers channel choice may affect consumer surplus and firms profits. We
construct a price-setting game between a manufacturer, a Stackelberg leader, and a
retailer who is considering adding an online venue to its existing channel structure. We show
that when the online channel operating cost is low enough, the manufacturer chooses a
wholesale price that induces the retailer to adopt a dual-channel strategy. In this case, both firms
and consumers may be better off.
