A Study On Value And Incentive Mechanism Of Information Sharing In Supply Chain

Along with the economical globalization and the intensification of market competition and consumer's demand is developing towards individualization, enterprise needs cooperate closely and share information to each other. It can make supply chain system more efficiency and goals of Supply Chain Management (SCM) are realized. Therefore abundant information sharing is a successful key on SCM. The value and incentive mechanism of information sharing in a supply chain are mainly studied. This thesis discusses and explores the information sharing in SCM using multidisciplinary knowledge, set up mathematic model and carry on mathematical statistics analysis. I hope that enterprises in our country to be clear about the value of information sharing through research and establish the scientific sharing system to reduce costs, improve efficiency and obtain stronger competitive ability in the world stage.The thesis based on look up the achievement of information sharing in SCM, discussion the importance of information sharing and set up mathematic model to study the sharing demand information to the impact of the entire supply chain and find information sharing among supply chain members may help improve supply chain performance, but the benefits contributing is unbalanced. Enterprises that gain less benefit not willing supply their information voluntarily. Enterprises that gain more benefit should be drawing up a reasonable incentive mechanism to encourage information senders make their information to others. Thus the incentive mechanism can operate effectively. The thesis studies the incentive and supervisory mechanism that how to improve partner enterprise's effort level thought a two task principal-agent model. The mechanism's characters and the parameters condition's validity are discussed under the situation of information symmetric and asymmetric. Finally, researches Baoshan Steel Group that success in practice of supply chain sharing.
