Supply chain partnerships can mitigate deficiencies associated with decentralized control and reduce the \u201cbullwhip effect\u201d. This study illustrates the benefits of supply chain partnerships based on information sharing. For a decentralized supply chain comprising a manufacturer and a retailer, we derive the members\u2019 optimal inventory policies under different information sharing scenarios. We show that increasing information sharing among the members in a decentralized supply chain will lead to Pareto improvement in the performance of the entire chain. Specifically, the supply chain members can reap benefits in terms of reductions in inventory levels and cost savings from forming partnerships with one another. A case study is provided for illustration.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635570110386625","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,13]],"date-time":"2007-04-13T09:43:20Z","timestamp":1176457400000},"page":"114-121","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":355,"title":["Benefits of information sharing with supply chain partnerships"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Zhenxin","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Hong","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"T.C.","family":"Edwin Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022012319472489900_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Baganha, M.P. and Cohen, M.A. (1998), \u201cThe stabilizing effect of inventory in supply chains\u201d, Operations Research, Vol. 46,  pp. s72\u2010s83.","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.46.3.S72"},{"key":"key2022012319472489900_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chen, F.
