ABSTRACT: Retailers are faced with a dilemma of whether to share demand information with other supply chain members, and if so, how to share it. Our research interest is motivated by the grounds that the value of downstream retailers' sales information to upstream manufacturers is to improve the accuracy of manufacturers' order forecasting.
