报告简介：
In today's increasingly interconnected world, co-opetition due to the introduction of dual sourcing (for alternative supplier) and dual channel (for alternative profit) has emerged as a new business practice among the high-tech firms. The boundaries between cooperation and competition have been becoming vague, where rivals engage in collaborative activities. This study develops an analytical model to investigate the dual sourcing decision of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the presence of a competitive supplier (i.e. frenemy) as well as a non-competitive supplier who nevertheless suffers from unreliable production technology. We also investigate the competitive supplier's dual channel decision if it prefers operating both component-selling business and self-branded business. We find that the OEM always prefers supplier diversification by engaging the additional non-competitive supplier although the latter experiences the yield uncertainty problem. Further, we show that the non-competitive supplier's expected profit is unimodal in its production technology level in the dual sourcing scenario. This result suggests that the non-competitive supplier may not have incentives to further improve its production technology once it reaches a threshold. Finally, we investigate the credibility of competitive supplier's threat to stop supplying the components to OEM as a response of OEM's engagement of a new supplier. We show that the termination of component-selling business by competitive supplier is a non-credible threat to prevent OEM seeking the alternative supplier.
