This study examines how the green supply chain (GSC) operates on the E-commerce online channel (resell mode and agency mode) and the traditional offline channel with information sharing under demand uncertainty.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study builds a multistage game model that considers the manufacturer selling green products through different channels. On the traditional offline channel, the competing retailers decide whether to share demand signals. Regarding the resale mode of E-commerce online channel, just E-tailer 1 determines whether to share information and decides the retail price. In the agency mode, the manufacturer decides the retail price directly, and E-tailer 2 sets the platform rate.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study reveals that information accuracy is conducive to information value and profits on both channels. Interestingly, the platform fee rate in agency mode will inhibit the effect of a positive demand signal. Information sharing will cause double marginal effects, and price competition behavior will mitigate such effects. Additionally, when the platform fee rate is low, the manufacturer will select the E-commerce online channel for operation, but the retailers' profit is the highest in the traditional channel.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This research explores the interplay between different channel structures and information sharing in a GSC, considering price competition and demand uncertainty. Besides, we also considered what behaviors and factors will amplify or transfer the effect of double marginalization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/imds-06-2023-0419","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,12]],"date-time":"2024-03-12T00:39:30Z","timestamp":1710203970000},"page":"1329-1355","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Optimal channel selection considering price competition and\u00a0information sharing under demand uncertainty"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"124","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3911-9039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nan","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jianfeng","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Devika","family":"Kannan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kannan","family":"Govindan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2024041212295375200_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpe.2020.107612","article-title":"Supply competition under quality scores: motivations, information sharing and credibility","volume":"226","year":"2020","journal-title":"International Journal of Production Economics"},{"key":"key2024041212295375200_ref002","unstructured":"Amazon (2022), \u201cAssociates program standard commission income statement\u201d, available at: https:\/\/affiliate-program.amazon.com\/help\/node\/topic\/GRXPHT8U84RAYDXZ"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2024041212295375200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"227","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejor.2008.11.049","article-title":"Price competition with integrated and decentralized supply chains","volume":"200","year":"2010","journal-title":"European Journal of Operational Research"},{"key":"key2024041212295375200_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.omega.2019.07.001","article-title":"Promotional pricing and online business model choice in the presence of retail competition","volume":"94","year":"2020","journal-title":"Omega"},{"key":"key2024041212295375200_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.omega.2022.102794","article-title":"Selling models for platforms under service-sensitive demand","volume":"115","year":"2023","journal-title":"Omega"},{"key":"key2024041212295375200_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"150","DOI":"10.1016\/j.omega.2018.08.004","article-title":"Optimal pricing in mass customization supply chains with risk-averse agents and retail competition","volume":"88","year":"2019","journal-title":"Omega"},{"key":"key2024041212295375200_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tre.2019.09.010","article-title":"To be or not to be green?
