Abstract
This paper deals with the dynamics of market power with processors and retailers in the coffee supply chain in India. We develop an imperfect competition model that allows for the potential oligopoly and/or oligopsony power of retailers and processors with respect to adjacent stakeholders in the supply chain. We also empirically determine the presence/absence of market power among processors and retailers in the coffee supply chain in India. This paper highlights the existence of market power with processors in the coffee industry that plays an important role in the imperfect price transmission and should not be ignored when developing regulatory policies.
期刊介绍:
IIMB Management Review (IMR) is a quarterly journal brought out by the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Addressed to management practitioners, researchers and academics, IMR aims to engage rigorously with practices, concepts and ideas in the field of management, with an emphasis on providing managerial insights, in a reader friendly format. To this end IMR invites manuscripts that provide novel managerial insights in any of the core business functions. The manuscript should be rigorous, that is, the findings should be supported by either empirical data or a well-justified theoretical model, and well written. While these two requirements are necessary for acceptance, they do not guarantee acceptance. The sole criterion for publication is contribution to the extant management literature.Although all manuscripts are welcome, our special emphasis is on papers that focus on emerging economies throughout the world. Such papers may either improve our understanding of markets in such economies through novel analyses or build models by taking into account the special characteristics of such economies to provide guidance to managers.
