Industri sapi potong masih didominasi oleh peternak kecil (98%) sedangkan sisanya adalah kontribusi dari peternak besar. Sehingga belum mampu memenuhi kebutuhan nasional. Meskipun kecil, peran peternak besar cukup signifikan terutama dalam memenuhi kebutuhan daging berkualitas tinggi. Oleh karena kajian terhadap peran peternak besar sangat dibutuhkan. Tujuan dari kajian ini adalah menganalisis struktur pasar dan kinerja peternak besar sapi potong di Jawa Timur yang merupakan lumbung daging nasional. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis Rasio Konsentrasi, Gini Koefisien dan Hambatan masuk dan keluar pasar. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa: 1. Struktur pasar sapi bakalan dan jagal adalah oligopoli lemah sedangkan struktur pasar peternak dan pedagang adalah oligopoli kuat; 2) Analisis kinerja rantai komoditas sapi potong di tingkat penyedia bakalan, peternak, pedagang dan jagal adalah menguntungkan dan efisien; 3) Terdapat hubungan antara struktur pasar dan kinerja usaha sapi potong yaitu semakin tinggi tingkat konsentrasi pasar maka semakin tinggi pula tingkat keuntungan dan efisiensinya.

“…Additionally, the profitability of gray markets largely depends on manufacturers' pricing decisions. Furthermore, the latest available studies [16,42,43] on multinational supply chains deterring PI neglect to capture the transaction costs involved in parallel import activities, which are essential for third-party arbitrage.…”

Effects of Parallel Importation and Power Structures on Price Competition in Duopolistic Supply Chains

Multinational manufacturers (MNMs) achieve significant gains from product quality and reputation in entering emerging markets while facing many operational risks, such as parallel importation (PI) and market power structures. This paper focuses on a duopolistic supply chain consisting of one MNM and one local manufacturer (LM) in an emerging market with low willingness-to-pay (WTP). Within the game analytical framework, we consider different market power structures and investigate the impact of PI on the manufacturers’ price competition, and we further discuss the MNM’s countermeasures in high and low WTP markets. We find that PI does not occur when the WTP ratio is below the threshold or the transaction cost is high. Power structures significantly affect the participant’s profitability, the LM’s gains are maximized if the MNM fully dominates the market, and the MNM loses the minimum if the LM exclusively rules the market. When in codominant structure, the parallel importer achieves maximum gains while the MNM’s profits rise in the market WTP ratio interval. PI activities boost the benefits for the LM and the parallel importer, whereas increasing transaction costs diminish those effects and promote the MNM’s profitability. PI promotes or deters price competition in duopolistic supply chains depending on power structures. In addition, increasing either the level of product substitution or quality perception restrains PI and improves the LM’s earnings, but the latter expands the MNM’s losses.

“…In this section, we model the game and analyze the equilibrium outcomes under the four different scenarios (as described in Section 3.1) when the online and offline retailers conduct the Nash game, where firms choose quantities rather than prices, e.g., [3,17,24,27].…”

Impacts of Online and Offline Channel Structures on Two-Period Supply Chains with Strategic Consumers

In this paper, the effects of strategic consumer behaviors have been investigated and analyzed with regard to online retailers and offline retailers in a dual-channel supply chain. Four channel structures (i.e., no-promotion, a direct online channel, a retail offline channel, and dual channels introduced in the promotion sales period) are considered. At the beginning of the paper, the original demand functions of a dual-channel supply chain incorporating the consumers’ utility has been introduced. The results indicate that despite improved consumer patience, all promotional prices do not fall as expected. When sales channels are provided by online retailers rather than offline retailers during the promotion period, offline retailers can achieve higher profits. We also find that in most cases, a dual-channel model in a single-period is more beneficial to both online and offline retailers than a dual-channel model in two periods, which is, to a certain extent, contrary to the existing literature of single sales channel.
