    Abstract

    This paper investigates the partial information sharing of a supply chain including one retailer and two competitive manufacturers. The retailer has information about the uncertain market demand, and can share partial information with neither, one, or both of the manufacturers. We formulate three pricing decision models, and explore how some parameters (e.g., the amount of shared information, competition intensity, etc.) affect pricing and profits. Moreover, we give the sufficient conditions that each member benefits from the retailer's partial information sharing.
