摘要：
In nowadays'complex business environment, firms often have conflicting relationship. They can be supply chain partners, but at the same time, they can be competitors. Capacity is often limited and so the supplier is facing the dilemma of whether to reserve the capacity for itself or to supply to the buyer. Prior researches have examined this problem in a perfect information setting, but in reality, supplier often has private information on its own capacity. In this research, we consider a channel-conflict environment in which a supplier has private information on its own capacity. The buyer decides on the order quantity and the supplier decides on how much to sell directly to customers. We find that the supplier can be worse off while the buyer can be better off from the supplier’s private information. Our results also show that the buyer can benefit from a more capacitated supplier. From a managerial perspective, our research demonstrates that the supplier may prefer to sell to a better-informed buyer, but yet the buyer may be reluctant to develop advanced informational capabilities.
