With the expansion of the Internet and the proliferation of e-businesses, many manufacturers have chosen to distribute products through online retail channels in addition to brick-and-mortar retail channels. In this paper, we consider a dual-channel supply chain in which a manufacturer considers selling a product through a conventional retail channel and an online channel. Considering two common procurement and order fulfillment policies for online retailers (etailers), conventional batch ordering and drop shipping, we investigate the impact of supply chain power structure in terms of market power and retail channel dominance on a manufacturer's optimal distribution channel strategy. We analyze and compare the two procurement models with respect to the etailer's order fulfillment policies. We find that a manufacturer never prefers a drop-shipping etailer as the first mover in a sequential pricing game with a batch ordering traditional retailer. The manufacturer prefers to award the power of retail channel dominance to a batch ordering retailer with relatively high market power even if the etailer also follows a batch ordering policy. Drop-shipping benefits both the manufacturer and the etailer when the etailer has relatively low market power. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
