Abstract:
By incorporating overconfidence into the model, a twoechelon supply chain composed of one supplier and one overconfident retailer is investigated and their decisionmaking is analyzed. It is shown that if the retailer is overconfident, the supply chain can achieve coordination. However, supply chain coordination may be destroyed under the buyback contract of the supplier. If the retailer gets the adverse market information, the buyback contract would fail. On the contrary, if the retailer has favorable information, the suppliers profit would decrease with increase of the overconfidence degree. Furthermore, by introducing a revenue sharing contract into the model, the retailers order quantity and the suppliers profit are greatly improved so as to achieve supply chain coordination. Finally, numerical examples are given to illustrate and confirm the obtained results.
