Abstract :
This paper investigated the influence of suppliers´ profits who manufacture the alternative commodities and the consumer utility, in the situations that the suppliers choose the common or the excusive shop to sell their commodities. By comparing suppliers´ profits and consumer utility, the analysis suggested such a conclusion: in general, suppliers´ profits and consumer utility in the exclusive shop model will be higher than the common shop model; But under certain conditions, suppliers´ profits and consumer utility in the common shop model are better than exclusive shop model, and conditions depend on parameters like channel base demand, channel cost and channel substitutability.
