Coordination of supply chain after demand disruptions when retailers compete (2007, methodology): “Chen et al. (2001) considered a twoechelon system in which a supplier distributes a single product to multiple retailers.”
Untangling Safeguard and Production Coordination Effects in Long-Term Buyer-Supplier Relationships (2008, background): “2 Chen et al. (2001) found that improvements in supply chain efficiencies can drop to as low as 70 percent where parties fail to establish such appropriate coordination mechanisms.”
Quantity discounts in single-period supply contracts with asymmetric demand information (2007, unknown): “Chen et al. (2001) show that although a traditional quantity discount cannot be used to achieve the first best solution in an environment in which a single supplier serves heterogenous retailers, coordination can be achieved with a discount which is based on a retailer’s annual sales volume, order…”
Flow Coordination and Information Sharing in Supply Chains: Review, Implications, and Directions for Future Research (2002, background): “Lee and Whang (1999) and Chen, Federgruen , and Zheng (2001) argue that this approach is in keeping with currently accepted management practices.”
Buyer vendor coordination models in supply chain management (2006, background): “Chen et al. (2001) in their paper of one supplier and many retailers have shown that same optimum level of channel wide profit can be achieved in decentralized system as that of centralized system only if coordination is achieved via periodically charged, fixed fees, and a non-traditional…”
Coordination of joint pricing-production decisions in a supply chain (2002, background): “To the best of our knowledge, Weng (1995) and Chen et al. (2001) are the only two papers that combine the above two streams of research to study channel coordination with both pricing and production/ordering decisions.”
Group Buying of Competing Retailers (2011, background): “Some studies combine the last two streams by considering channel coordination with price-sensitive demand and operating costs (Chen et al. 2001, Weng 1995).”
Spectrum Trading in Cognitive Radio Networks: A Contract-Theoretic Modeling Approach (2011, background): “In [29], Chen et al. extended this to multiple customers and more general cost structures.”
Coordinating orders in supply chains through price discounts (2002, background): “While page 15 the assumption of complete information has been made by various other researchers (e.g., Viswanathan and Piplani, 2001; Chen et al,2001), it is possible that the manufacturer may not have access to such information.”
Tourism supply chain management: A new research agenda (2009, background): “For example, many studies of manufacturing supply chains (e.g., Jeuland & Shugan, 1983; Parlar & Wang, 1994; Weng, 1995; Corbett & de Groote, 2000; Chen et al., 2001) show that coordination can result in improved performance and greater profitability for the entire supply chain and its participants.”
