Title
Impact of structure, market share and information asymmetry on supply contracts for a single supplier multiple buyer network.
Abstract
•We study single supplier multiple buyer network under different settings of supply network structure.•We examine the effect of market share and asymmetric information on four types of supply contracts.•We calculate the optimal contract values for each type from the perspective of the supplier.•The optimal transfer payment of a buyer is influenced by market share of the buyer and supply network structure.•The supplier can collude with a buyer with less market potential to increase her assured profit level.
