Abstract EN
E-commerce platforms can act as an e-tailer or a third-party intermediary that charge a commission and allow manufacturers to sell products on their platform directly.
These two forms of dual-channel supply chain structures have different impacts on decisions and profits of manufacturers and traditional retailers.
This paper establishes different Stackelberg game models for both dual-channel supply chain structures and achieves the equilibrium results.
The results state that both structures can increase the consumer surplus and social welfare.
More importantly, when the platform acts as an e-tailer, the manufacturer and the traditional retailer can form a “win-win” situation.
Nevertheless, when the platform acts as a third-party intermediary allowing manufacturers to sell products on the platform directly, it is bound to harm the interests of the traditional retailer.
