研究了由一个制造商和一个零售商组成的简单供应链中的信息共享问题。市场需求可能会受到干扰，但零售商可以从社交媒体平台获得一些信号，以更好地预测市场状态（正常或中断），即使这些信号可能不完全可靠。与传统的信息共享文献不同，我们将关机政策纳入我们的模型。我们首先描述的均衡结果下，有和没有信息共享的情况下，然后检查球员的偏好信息共享或不。结果表明，当信息可靠性水平较低时，制造商偏好信息共享，而零售商偏好信息不共享，信息共享对整个渠道不利。此外，我们的研究结果表明，随着信息可靠性水平的提高，制造商受益更多，但零售商和整个渠道损失更多的信息共享。与传统观点相反，当信息可靠性水平福尔斯落入一个中间区间时，零售商将有动机共享信息，信息共享将有利于制造商和整个供应链。然而，随着信息可靠性水平的提高，信息共享带来的好处会减少。当信息可靠性水平足够高时，双方在信息共享和不共享的情况下是无差异的。此外，关闭政策的纳入对信息共享问题具有重要意义，因此，该政策不应被忽视。
This paper investigates the information sharing issue in a simple supply chain with one manufacturer and one retailer. The market demand might be subject to disruption, but the retailer can get access to some signals from social media platforms to better forecast the market state (regular or disrupted) even though the signals might be not fully reliable. Different from the traditional information sharing literature, we incorporate the shutdown policy into our model. We first characterize the equilibrium outcomes under both with- and without-information sharing cases and then examine the players’ preferences over information sharing or not. It is shown that when the level of information reliability is relatively low, the manufacturer prefers the information sharing cases, whereas the retailer prefers the no-sharing case, and information sharing does harm to the whole channel. In addition, our results show that as the level of information reliability increases, the manufacturer benefits more but the retailer and the whole channel lose more from information sharing. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, when the level of information reliability falls into an intermediary interval, the retailer will have an incentive to share information, and information sharing will benefit the manufacturer and the whole supply chain. However, the benefits from information sharing decrease as the level of information reliability increases. When the level of information reliability is sufficiently high, both firms are indifferent between the information sharing and no-sharing cases. Additionally, the incorporation of the shutdown policy has important implications for the information sharing issue, and thus, the policy should not be overlooked.
