Thus, most large retail firms have adopted a multi-channel strategy that includes both web-based channels and pre-existing offline channels. In this paper, we consider joint pricing and inventory\/production decision problems for members in a monopoly two-stage dual-channel retailer supply chain. For a dual-channel retailer, pricing in one channel will affect the demand in the other channel. This subsequently affects the retailer's replenishment (ordering) decisions, which have an impact on the producer's inventory\/production plans and wholesale price decisions. It is clear then that pricing decisions and inventory\/production decisions are interacting in each member of the supply chain and among the members in the chain as well. In this paper, we analyze joint pricing and inventory\/production problems under three scenarios by incorporating intra-product line price interaction in the EOQ model. We show that a unique equilibrium exists under certain realistic conditions. We also provide numerical results that offer insights for pricing strategies for the dual-channel retailer supply chain and for product design for different channels. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s0217595912400040","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,3,14]],"date-time":"2012-03-14T10:10:19Z","timestamp":1331719819000},"page":"1240004","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["PRICING AND INVENTORY STRATEGIES FOR A TWO-STAGE DUAL-CHANNEL SUPPLY CHAIN"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"RUN H.","family":"NIU","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"George Herbert Walker School of Business and Technology, Webster University, St. Louis, MO, 63119, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"XUAN","family":"ZHAO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business and Economics, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 3C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"IGNACIO","family":"CASTILLO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business and Economics, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, N2L 3C5, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"TARJA","family":"JORO","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Finance and Management Science, University of Alberta School of Business, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2R6, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"rf1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.51.3.409.14957"},{"key":"rf2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/nav.10113"},{"key":"rf3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.1040.0218"},{"key":"rf4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.1060.0564"},{"key":"rf5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.49.5.658.10611"},{"key":"rf6","unstructured":"G.\u00a0Cachon, Handbooks in Operations Research and Management Science: Supply Chain Management: Design, Coordination and Operations, eds.
