Abstract A buyer's technical knowledge may increase the efficiency of its supplier. Suppliers, however, frequently maintain relationships with additional buyers. Knowledge disclosure then bears the risk of benefiting one's own competitor due to opportunistic knowledge transmission through the common supplier. We show that in one-shot relationships no knowledge disclosure takes place because the supplier has an incentive for knowledge transmission and, in anticipation of this outcome, buyers refuse to disclose any of their knowledge. In repeated relationships knowledge disclosure is stabilized by larger technological proximity between buyers and suppliers and destabilized by the absolute value of the knowledge.

“…Bernstein and Kök (2009) and Bernstein et al (2015) explore R&D investment in a many-to-one supply chain. Ishii (2004) and Gupta (2008) consider R&D investment in a many-to-many supply chain. The above studies on R&D investment assume that R&D activities can lead to cost reduction for the firms.…”

Abstract. In a decentralized supply chain with an upstream supplier and a downstream platform, the supplier sells a product to a stochastic isoelastic demand market through a platform. The supplier considers to make R&D investment to reduce its production cost, and hence the supply chain becomes more cost efficient. We first characterize the equilibrium pricing and production decisions for the two chain members, under any given R&D investment strategy. We then analyze the impact of the supplier's R&D investment on equilibrium decisions and corresponding profits of the two chain members. We find that the supplier's R&D investment can lead to a lower retail price and a higher production quantity, and always benefit the platform's profit.

“…[3,4] investigate R&D investment in a many-to-one supply chain. [7,9] explore R&D investment in a many-to-many supply chain. Although the above studies have investigated R&D investments in decentralized supply chains from different perspectives, they all assume that R&D investment are conducted by the firms themselves, and do not explore the problem that R&D investments are conducted by the supply chain partners.…”

Abstract-This paper considers a supply chain with an upstream supplier and a downstream manufacturer, who faces a quality and price sensitive market demand. The supplier makes R&D investment in the manufacturer, which can lead to an improvement in the manufacturer's product quality, and hence, improve the efficiency of the entire supply chain. First, we derive the optimal retail price for the manufacturer, under any given R&D investment strategy of the supplier. Then, we characterize the supplier's optimal R&D investment strategy. We show that both the supplier and the manufacturer can benefit from such an investment, under certain condition.
