Supply Chain Design With Cross Sales, Product Design, and Price -Setting Competitive Newsvendors
Essay 3 addresses the problem of supply chain design under demand uncertainty. Consider two manufacturers, each producing a substitutable product and selling it through either a decentralized or an integrated retailer, which is modeled as a price-setting newsvendor. A multiplicative demand function …
