To measure forecasting information´s impct on performance of dual-channel supply chain, this paper establishes a two-level dual-channel supply chain model. According to Stackelberg game, performances of forecasting information on manufacturer and retailer were investigated. The optimal pricing strategies of two cases-information sharing case and non-information sharing case are compared. The impact of forecasting information´s accuracy and channel competition on retail´s information-sharing decision are revealed. It concludes that manufacturer´s forecasting information is shared by retailer passively. Retailer can benefit from the information-sharing and has the motive to share their private information within certain conditions.
