In observing the behavior and interaction of manufacturer–retailers–customers, a quantity discount under price and service competition is proposed. The discount policy is constructed under a non-exclusive territory distribution channel of Generic Brand products with a single manufacturer and differently-sized heterogeneous retailers. Each retailer faces price and service sensitive demand in carrying both Name Brand and Generic Brand replacement parts. The importance of smaller-sized retailers is acknowledged and manufacturers discretely allow quantity discount incentive in motivating its retailers to provide an appropriate contribution for customer satisfaction or preference shifting. It was shown that when the manufacturer considers retailer effort in establishing a quantity discount policy and it pre-commits its wholesale prices to a set of heterogeneous retailers, an optimum solution can be determined under concave profit function conditions. By modifying its discount policy, the manufacturer is able to target both price and service effects as well as take advantage of an inherent characteristic of small retailers which is flexibility in personal services. In addition to larger earnings of retailers, Generic Brand manufacturers also realize improved overall profits and customer perception on its products.Oral Defense Committee icknowledgement iibstract iiibstract (Chinese) ivable of Contents vist of Figures viiist of Tables viii hapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Background & Motivation 2.2 Problem Definition 5.3 Research Objectives 7.4 Scope and Limitation 8.5 Thesis Structure 8hapter 2 Literature Review 9.1 Generic Brand Retailing 10.2 Incentive Policies with Sales Effort Effect 14.3 Retailer Service Efforts 18.4 Quantity Discounts 22.5 Points of Departure 26hapter 3 Model Formulation 28.1 Model Framework 28.2 Firm Size and Order Quantity Compatibility 31.3 Linear Quantity Discount 32.4 Average Effort and Firm Size 34.5 Demand Allocation 35.6 Incentive Design Policy 37.6.1 Manufacturer Profit 37.6.2 Profit Function Analysis 39.6.3 Optimum Discount Policy 41hapter 4 Numerical Results 44.1 Discount Policy under Price Competition 45.2 Discount Policy under Price and Service Competition 47.3 Sensitivity Analysis on Competition Intensity Parameters 50hapter 5 Conclusion 52.1 Managerial Implications 52.2 Contributions 53.3 Suggestions for Future Studies 53eference 54ppendix 59application/pdf1076017 bytesapplication/pdfen-US副廠牌數量折扣激勵政策零售商的努力價格與服務競爭Generic BrandsQuantity DiscountIncentivesSales EffortPrice and Service Competitionthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/178469/1/ntu-97-R94546031-1.pdf
