多渠道供应链中的跨渠道退货服务策略研究

考虑在一个多渠道供应链结构中,零售商同时拥有实体店和网店,制造商开设直营网店且通过双渠道零售商销售产品。考虑消费者的无产品质量退货现象,研究了双渠道零售商为消费者提供跨渠道退货服务的多渠道整合问题。揭示了零售商愿意提供跨渠道退货服务的条件,探讨了跨渠道退货服务策略对市场均衡的影响,并且构建了制造商和零售商之间基于横向合作处理消费者退货的供应链机制,以改善双方的利润。

Cross-channel Consumers Return in a Multi-channel Supply Chain

In a two-stage supply chain with a manufacturer and a dual-channel retailer, the retailer has both the online and offline channels, and the manufacturer sells its products to the customer through both the retailer's dual-channel and its direct online channel. We investigate the cross-channel product return service of “Buy online, return in-store” provided by the retailer with false failure returns. Firstly, the condition that the retailer is willing to provide the cross-channel return service for consumers is explored. Secondly, the influence of “buy online, return in-store” on the market equilibrium is examined. Moreover, we propose a horizontal cooperation mechanism between the manufacturer and the retailer for dealing with consumers' return, in order to improve the profits of both the manufacturer and retailer.
