“…We assume that the service experience provided by the retailer is superior to that of the direct channels (e.g., the retailer provides more customer support, presale advice, or technical assistance). The independent valuations that consumers assign to these benefits are uniformly distributed among consumers (see e.g., Kogan et al 2013).…”

We analyze a dual-channel supply chain comprising two suppliers that offer vertically-differentiated agricultural products; specifically, one offers an organic version of an agricultural product and the other offers a conventionally-grown version of the same product. Each supplier distributes his product through two channels: directly to consumers and via a single retailer who sells both product versions. Consumers are assumed to be heterogeneous in their valuations of the benefits associated with organic products and of the benefits of purchasing from a retailer (reflected, e.g., in extra services). We also assume that the agricultural products can depreciate in value (e.g., due to deterioration and spoilage). We study market competition in the case where all supply chain members (the two suppliers and the retailer) determine their prices simultaneously in order to maximize their respective profits. First, we analytically solve the cases where organic and conventional value depreciations are equal in each channel or where the direct and the retailer value depreciations are equal for each product. Under these assumptions, we show that each supplier sets a wholesale price that is equal to the direct price. Moreover, the price margins set by the retailer for both the organic and conventional versions are identical. The more general case is analyzed numerically; this analysis reveals the relationships between the model parameters, the equilibrium pricing and the profits of the supply chain members. We identify the conditions under which the wholesale prices of each product version are higher than the direct prices.

“…Pricing and protection investment strategies for the case of monopoly were also analyzed in the recent litereture, for example, by K. Kogan, Y. Ozinci, Y. Perlman [7]. In our paper the monopoly case and the pricing startegies are discussed as well and the monopolistic price was obtained in the explisit form.…”

The paper considers the market of software products. Regularly this markets are suffering from dealing with a problem of countefeit or pirate products that are sold. Taking this into account the paper is solving the problem of price equilibrium on this market. The software company set the price and the quality of the software product while the countefeit or pirate company suggest the consumers the product of the lower quality. First the general model is analyzed and price equilibrium is defined. Second, the monopoly case is considered separately and optimal software price is defined. Finally, it is supposed that there are two companies that produces original software on the market who differentiate in quality, and there are two pirate companies who produces this software. The duopoly case is analysed and equilibrium prices for competing companies are obtained in the explicit form.

“…Instead of this, the enterprises should seek for other methods, such as alliances and diversification of products. Kogan et al (2013) include, besides price strategies, the tactic of periodic updates of the softwares in which it is possible to maximize profit.…”
