Abstract

This paper investigates values of information sharing in supplier-remanufacturing and manufacturer-remanufacturing scenarios where the retailer possesses private demand information. In the supplier-remanufacturing scenario, the supplier acts as the mere component provider. While in the manufacturer-remanufacturing, the supplier acts as both a component provider and a competitor to the manufacturer. We find that information sharing is profitable for both the supplier and the manufacturer, while it is detrimental to the retailer. The supplier with shared information would adjust the wholesale price and acquisition price to reach an equilibrium between forward and reverse flows.
