| 概要 | This study discusses the possible benefits of inviting entrants for downstream retailers when facing the encroachment of their upstream manufacturers. We consider a model comprising one retailer, one manufacturer, and one potential entrant. The manufacturer decides whether to encroach or supply the retailer; The retailer decides whether to help a third-party firm overcome its entry barrier. We show that whether firms compete in quantity or price, the manufacturer, in the presence of an entrant, may choose to supply the retailer even if the retailer does not offer any advantages in terms of cost efficiency in retailing or channel differentiation. This is because, in such a scenario, the manufacturer treats the retailer as a strategic collaborator to either restrict the entrant’s market share or alleviate the downstream competition. |
