Information provision under showrooming and webrooming

Yuyun Zhong et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of deviations between consumers' information gathering and purchase decisions on showrooming and webrooming. It examines the optimal information provision decision for an online retailer in the presence of a rival brick-and-mortar store and analyzes the effects of showrooming and webrooming on the profits of both types of retailers. The findings suggest that showrooming may increase the profit of the brick-and-mortar store and decrease the profit of the online store, while webrooming always decreases the profit of the online retailer.

Demand Pooling in Omnichannel Operations

Ming Hu et al.

Summary: The success of the BOPS initiative depends on the relative costs of store visiting and online waiting. When the store visiting cost is lower and the online waiting cost is higher, BOPS can attract more customers to the brick-and-mortar store, leading to a higher fill rate and potential customer attraction. Conversely, if both costs are high, introducing BOPS may result in demand dispersion, lower fill rates, and decreased profit margins for the retailer.

Optimal decisions on prices, order quantities, and returns policies in a supply chain with two-period selling

Dan Li et al.

Summary: This paper examines the retailer's customer returns policy strategy, pricing and ordering decisions in a supply chain selling seasonal products over two periods. The study shows that customer returns can serve as a substitute for inventory, and the choice of returns policy can impact the retailer's decision to carry over strategic inventory from one period to the next. Additionally, it is identified that an MBG returns policy may not always be the dominant strategy, depending on the option to carry strategic inventory.

Competing e-tailers' adoption strategies of buy-online-and-return-in-store service

Delong Jin et al.

Summary: The study suggests that e-tailers are more likely to adopt buy-online-and-return-in-store (BORS) services when the online return cost for consumers and e-tailer differentiation are high. In terms of profitability, both e-tailers introducing BORS does not impact their expected profits, but if only one e-tailer introduces BORS, it may lead to uneven outcomes or mutual losses. The research also extends the basic model to more complex scenarios involving additional third-party store channel providers and e-tailers.

Summary: This paper investigates the inventory and pricing strategies of an omnichannel firm utilizing the Buy-Online-Return-to-Store policy.
