In the traditional single-chain supply chain literature research, it is assumed that enterprises in the supply chain system have enough working capital. However, in practical management practice, enterprises are often faced with capital shortage, poor operation, and other related risks. In this paper, the price strategy of competitive supply chain based on bank financing is studied when many retailers are short of funds in the competitive environment. It is found that once the market share among retailers is fixed, the wholesale price of suppliers and the selling price of retailers will gradually increase with the increase of competition intensity, regardless of whether the retailer has financial constraints or not. The greater the competition intensity among retailers is, the better the expected profit of each member of the supply chain and the system will be. Finally, with the help of numerical analysis, the validity of the conclusion is depicted and verified. The relevant conclusions enrich and develop the financing theory of competitive supply chain, providing a strong practical reference value for the fund risk management of supply chain enterprises in the competitive environment.

“…Furthermore, regarding supply chain management under both decentralized and centralized structures directly selling products through two retail channels, Xiao et al [20] analyzed chain-to-chain contracts in terms of price and lead time. Naser and Khojasteh [21] built a price competition model in an uncertain demand environment wherein each supply chain contained a risk-neutral manufacturer and two risk-averse retailers, and studied the supply chain strategies under the leadership of either the manufacturer or the retailers. Under demand uncertainty and with longitudinal structural constraints, Zhao et al [22] studied the chain-to-chain competition of fixed price contracts, and analyzed the effects of fixed prices and competition intensity on contract selection.…”

Abstract:Under two different power structures, where the supplier and the distributor, respectively, are modeled as the leader, this paper studies water pricing strategies in two competing water resources supply chains. We assume that each water supply chain consists of a risk-neutral water supplier and a risk-neutral water distributor. We build different decision models for two competitive water resources supply chains, derive the optimal decision strategies for the water supply chain members, and analyze how competition intensity affects these decisions. Analytical results show that when the supplier is the leader, its water wholesale price is always higher than that when the distributor serves as the leader. On the other hand, the retail price and the two supply chains' channel profits depend on the competition intensity, but are independent of the power structure. To illustrate the proposed models, we apply them to examine the water pricing strategies in the South-to-North Water Diversion Project in China. The results showed significant insights into the pricing strategies of water resources in different routes of this massive water diversion project.

“…Naimi Sadigh et al [15] also developed a model of pricing, order quantity and marketing in a three level supply chain with several suppliers, one manufacturer and several retailers which is solved by Nash equilibrium. The competitive model between two supply chains consisting of a manufacturer and retailer with replaceable goods for a real problem in a food industry was developed by Aminnaseri and Azari Khojasteh [16]. Bian et al [17] have developed a model for determining competitive price between the retailers of Apple and Samsung products consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer.…”

This paper deals with the coordination of pricing and order quantity decisions for two seasonal and substitutable goods in one firm. We assume that the customers are price sensitive and they are willing to buy the cheaper products, which is known as one way and customers-based price driven substitution. First, a mathematical model is developed for one firm, which contains two replaceable products considering seasonality. The model aims to maximize the profit by determining optimal dynamic prices, order quantities and the number of periods for both of the products. Then, we show that the objective function is strictly concave of price and has a unique maximum solution. Next, an exact algorithm based on the Karush Kuhn Tucker (KKT) conditions is presented to determine the optimal decisions. Finally, a numerical example accompanied by sensitivity analysis on key parameters is developed to illustrate the efficiency of solution procedure and the algorithm.
