活动简介：

We investigate the optimal retailing strategy along with practical means of integrating online channel and stores to promote and sell products. In a setting where a retailer orders from a manufacturer and sells to an uncertain market, the retailer can adhere to brick-and-mortar (BM) by operating a store or adapt to click-and-mortar (CM) by operating, additionally, an online channel. A CM retailer can either reveal or hide product features for online review, and offer the preorder option at a possible discount before official product launch. We characterize system performances when the retailer adopts various strategies to unveil the strategic interplay of revealing horizontal features and offering a preorder option to a CM retailer, and explore the optimal retailing strategy through a comparative investigation.
