Abstract:
A game theory model is established to explore equilibrium strategies and profits of the manufacturer and the retailer and to analyze the influence of consumer information investment on these equilibrium results. Equilibrium strategies and profits of different cost-sharing modes are compared to study the effect of different modes on the manufacturer and the retailer. The results show that the effectiveness of consumer information investment depends on the relative impact of advertising and retail price on market demand. Investing in consumer information will reduce profits of the manufacturer and retailer if the impact of advertising is much smaller than that of price. Furthermore, the manufacturer will transfer the information expense to the retailer by increasing the wholesale price even if it commits to sharing the consumer information investment. In addition, the manufacturer chooses a higher wholesale price, and the retailer sets a higher price when the two companies cooperate in advertising than when they do not. Meanwhile, the retailer prefers non-cooperative advertising to cooperative advertising, while the manufacturer prefers cooperative advertising when considering consumer information investment.
