Logistics mode strategy of firms selling fresh products on e-commerce platforms with private brand introduction

Yuqiu Xu et al.

Summary: The decision problem for firms selling fresh products on e-commerce platforms is to choose between platform logistics and third-party logistics (TPL) for their third-party stores. The introduction of platform private brands of fresh products affects firms' operation strategies. Four theoretical models are constructed to explore the optimal logistics mode strategy and the impacts of platform private brand introduction. The main results show that the optimal logistics mode strategy depends on the platform logistics cost and the service level difference between platform logistics and TPL. Furthermore, introducing platform private brands increases firms' willingness to adopt TPL.
