Study on supply chain revenue allocation with bilateral asymmetry information

摘要

Information asymmetry and the revenue allocation are still key problems influencing the supply chain coordination and the relationship between the upstream and downstream. An incentive model is established in this paper by introducing a virtual third party as a coordinating body and considering the supply chain coordination as a special one-to-many principal-agent problem. The connection between the supply chain profits and the proportion of revenue allocation and the cost distribution function is got. The results show that the greater the likelihood of high cost, the smaller the proportion of revenue allocation; however, in the case of the same prior cost distribution, the higher cost manufacturer (vendor) gets greater proportion of revenue allocation.
