We analyze pricing and protection (digital rights management) strategies in a two-echelon supply chain that consists of a manufacturer and a retailer of digital products. The demand for the legal (non-pirated) product, which depends on both price and monetary investment in protection, is assumed...

We consider a supply chain consisting of a supplier and a risk-averse retailer operating under endogenous demand in retail pricing. The demand potential is uncertain and is revealed at the beginning of the selling season when it is too late to order products. The product price, on the other...

We formulate a model for determining the optimal pricing, order quantity and replenishment period for perishable items with price-dependent and time-dependent demand. The items have a fixed shelf-life, and the demand rate decreases linearly in the selling price and polynomially over the time...

This work presents an extension of the classical EOQ model for items with a fixed shelf life and a declining demand rate due to a reduction in the quality of the item in the course of its shelf-life. The demand rate, reflecting consumer preference for fresh items, is a polynomial function of the...

We formulate and analyze two models for determining the optimal pricing, order quantity and replenishment period for items whose demand function is separable into components of price and inventory age. The first model assumes a multiplicative demand function. We provide conditions, which are...
