Abstract
Motivated by the recent trend in global sourcing and multi-channel strategies, we analyze a supply chain in which a manufacturer distributes a product through two distributors (channels) to a retailer whose demand is uncertain. The two distributors differ in terms of their commitment to offering return cred- its, and they compete by charging different wholesale prices to the retailer.
