Abstract :
We examine supply chain distribution channels for two manufacturers selling substitutable products to retailers. Both retailers are Stackelberg leaders and the manufacturers are followers. retailers in competing supply chain may choose different distribution channels, either a traditional distribution or offering a retailing platform. Under supply chain competition, we identify which chanel is more advantageous for each supply chain, and under what circumstances.
