Ingredient Branding Strategies in a Dynamic Supply Chain: Models and Analysis Juan Zhang University of Science Technology of China, Qinglong Gou University of Science Technology of China, Liang Liang University of Science Technology of China, Xiuli He University of North Carolina at Charlotte 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. 3. 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.
