Integrative, multiple issue bargaining can be expected to characterize many decision making situations in marketing. In this paper we present a mathematical model specifically appropriate to such negotiations. The central features of the model are: (i) the close relation of the structure of the...

Using a simulated supply chain experiment based on the well-known "beer game," we examine how changes in order and delivery cycles, availability of shared point-of-sale (POS) information, and the pattern of customer demand affect supply chain efficiency. We find that speeding up cycle time is...

Existing approaches to combining multiple forecasts generally offer either theoretical richness or empirical robustness, but not both together. In this paper, we propose a new method for combining forecasts which attempts to overcome this imbalance. The method allows easy inclusion of relevant...

We formulate an axiomatic model of conflict situations in which there exist two prominent outcomes. One is the traditional conflict outcome, the other is the reference outcome. The latter is an outcome with the following properties: (1) It is Pareto-superior to the conflict outcome, (2) It is...

In this paper, we examine the pattern of correlation among consumer price sensitivities for customer purchase incidence decisions across complementary product categories. We use a hierarchical Bayesian multivariate probit model to uncover this pattern. We estimated this model using purchase...

We develop a game-theoretical model to show that in the markets where price consistency across channels is critical, an incumbent brick-and-mortar retailer can deter the online entry of a pure-play e-tailer by strategically refraining from entering online. In the markets where price consistency...
