Abstract :
Consider a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and two distributors of different countries. This paper studies the service Spill-Over effect of gray market. We build a two-country, three-stage model to research manufacture´s operation strategy though a Stackelberg game. We find that the service provided by manufacturer when a gray market competitor exists is higher than that in a sealed market setting.
