This study focuses on the cross-licensing choices of two competing ICT firms that engage in price competition with substitutable products of different quality levels. Using a game-theoretical model, we find that each firm will have a higher (lower) profit as its competitor's product quality improves in a price-sensitive (quality-sensitive) market. Signing a cross-licensing agreement is profitable for the two firms when their quality improvements are roughly symmetric or when customers are sensitive to the price difference but less sensitive to the quality difference. Furthermore, we examine the quality-to-price ratio, which reflects customer perceived value, and find that cross-licensing may achieve a win–win–win situation for both firms and customers when there is no significant difference in quality improvements between the two firms or when the competition intensity is moderate. The rationale behind these results hinges on the integration of the quality improvement effect and the quality differentiation effect. The results explain the observations of ICT firms' cross-licensing practices and provide managerial implications for ICT firms and policymakers.","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 1","pages":"67-87"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191062","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They can operate as resellers (under a reselling contract) or marketplaces (under an agency contract) for suppliers. This study analyzes the most effective contract arrangement between an online intermediary and two competing suppliers. The suppliers receive online reviews of their products and also be affected by the spillover effect of the intermediary's channel on their own direct sales channels. The intermediary can offer a reselling contract to one supplier and an agency contract to the other or offer the same contract type to both suppliers. We find that when the cross-channel spillover is positive or only moderately negative, the intermediary offers different contract types if the difference in the review ratings of the two suppliers' products is considerable; otherwise, a reselling contract is offered to both. However, when the cross-channel spillover is highly negative, the intermediary may offer an agency contract to both suppliers. Our research provides practical guidance for intermediaries on the most effective contract strategies to use when collaborating with suppliers who receive varied online reviews, depending on the cross-channel spillover scenarios.","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"45 8","pages":"5867-5882"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the popularity of e-commerce and online shopping, supply chain firms have begun considering expanding their business to online channels. In this paper, we construct a game model to explore the impact of the pharmaceutical supply chain's development of online channels on supply chain members. We conclude that under the zero profits policy, increasing the public hospital's public welfare level will increase the price of drugs, decrease the price of medical services, and reduce the overall cost of patients. In addition, the greater the sensitivity of medical services, the lower the likelihood that a drug supplier will open an online pharmacy, and the lower the level of public good, the greater the likelihood that a drug supplier will open an online pharmacy. In addition, under certain conditions, patients can receive a higher level of medical service and spend less on healthcare under a dual-channel strategy. Finally, under a dual-channel strategy, an appropriate profit-sharing mechanism can eliminate instability in the pharmaceutical supply chain.","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"45 8","pages":"5883-5898"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the potential impact of digital inclusive finance on regional capital aggregation. By analyzing city data from China between 2011 and 2020, we find that the development of digital inclusive finance exhibits an inverted U-shaped effect on regional capital aggregation. During the initial stages of digital inclusive finance development, it promotes regional capital aggregation; however, beyond a certain threshold, there is a fostering of capital outflow. The impact mechanism reveals that digital inclusive finance exerts a nonlinear effect on the efficiency of regional capital allocation, thereby altering the regional capital aggregation level. Furthermore, enhancing human capital levels can accelerate this process, whereas increased government intervention may impede it. This study contributes to the theoretical research on factors influencing capital flow across regions and offers significant implications for utilizing digital inclusive finance to narrow the regional capital allocation gap and promote coordinated regional development.","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"46 1","pages":"115-128"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142868673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Impact of consumers' anticipated regret","authors":"Zhimin Guan, Tianyang Yu, Jingyang Dong, Jun Zhang","doi":"10.1002/mde.4358","DOIUrl":"10.1002/mde.4358","url":null,"abstract":"Original products (sold by a brand-owner) are exposed to the dual challenge of imitation products (sold by a copycat) and deceptive counterfeit products (provided by a counterfeiter). In such cases, consumers face higher shopping risks and are more likely to experience post-purchase regret. Blockchain can prevent the infiltration of deceptive counterfeits and the occurrence of regret, but its adoption can also raise consumer privacy concern. Hence, considering the above factors, we focus on the brand-owner's blockchain adoption strategy. First, we define two types of regret: counterfeit-purchasing regret (CPR) and low-cost-effective regret (LCR). Second, we consider three scenarios: scenario NR: without blockchain and considering only CPR, scenario NT: without blockchain and considering only LCR, and Scenario B: with blockchain. Finally, we compare the equilibrium results under scenarios NR and NT with those under scenario B, respectively. We interestingly find that blockchain adoption benefits the brand-owner when (1) privacy concern is low or (2) privacy concern is moderate and the sensitivity factor of CPR is large or the sensitivity factor of LCR is small. Therefore, we advise brand-owners to intervene in consumers' sensitivity to regret in order to make blockchain adoption work in their favor.","PeriodicalId":18186,"journal":{"name":"Managerial and Decision Economics","volume":"45 8","pages":"5846-5866"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142191069","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
