Abstract:
This paper studies distribution channel structure strategies (to centralize or decentralize) for
two competing supply chains that sell substitutable products with price and lead-time sensitive
demand. We find that centralization (decentralization) associates with itself a price (lead- time)
advantage and a lead-time (price) disadvantage. As a result, price substitution and lead-time
substitution have different impact on the equilibrium channel structure. Specifically, price
substitution favors decentralization whereas lead-time substitution tends to result in
centralization. Our results show that the equilibrium channel structure may critically depend on
the game type (Bertrand vs. Cournot) and the profit criterion (manufacturer profit vs. channel
profit). In the Cournot model, centralization for both chains (CC) is always the only Nash
equilibrium. In the Bertrand model, CC is still the only Nash equilibrium for the manufacturer
profit criterion. On the channel profit criterion, however, it is the relative intensity of price and
lead-time substitution that determines the equilibrium channel structure.
