Title
Supply chain coordination with information sharing: The informational advantage of GPOs.
Abstract
•We model a supply chain with a GPO and two heterogeneous and competing manufacturers.•We consider differentiated signal precisions and partial information sharing.•We identify three determinants of supply chain inefficiency under group purchasing.•Information sharing from only one manufacturer may be optimal for the supply chain.•Perfect coordination is achieved in both quantity competition and information sharing.
