摘要
在由知名品牌制造商和拥有自有品牌的零售商组成的二级供应链中,零售商同时出售知名品牌和自有品牌产品。考虑制造商为知名品牌实施消费者返利促销,分别研究了在制造商领导和零售商领导的供应链结构中,零售商为知名品牌提供和不提供消费者返利两种情形下的均衡策略,并进一步讨论了零售商为知名品牌提供返利的参数条件。研究结果表明,在制造商领导的供应链中,零售商实施知名品牌返利促销的机率更大,且返利使博弈双方受益。
In a two-stage supply chain with a national brand manufacturer and a retailer who has a private label, the retailer sells both the national brand and the private label, and the two products are substitutive. When the manufacturer provides consumer rebates for the national brand, the equilibrium strategies when the retailer provides or does not provide consumer rebates for the national brand in a manufacturer-led and a retailer-led supply chain were analyzed, respectively. Moreover, the boundary parameter conditions of the retailer's willingness to participate in consumer rebates for the national brand were derived. The results show that in a manufacturer-led supply chain, the retailer is more willing to provide consumer rebates for the national brand, and the consumer rebates for the national brand always benefit both the manufacturer and the retailer.
