| Abstract | This research examines supply chain coordination in a single-supplier two-retailer supply chain with the bidirectional option contract. By utilizing the traditional wholesale price contract, the profit of supplier is not high normally and the contract is not much attractive for all firms. Under the bidirectional option contract, the supplier announces the fair and attractive option prices, then, the retailers place the initial orders and purchase option quantities. When the demand information is realized, the two retailers adjust the initial orders by exercising call or put options. To consider coordination and profit sharing, the demand in each period is assumed to be under uniform distribution and the mathematical models are developed. This research finds that in a single-supplier two-retailer supply chain, the bidirectional option contract can significantly coordinate supply chain and achieve win-win situation. |
