Since the reform and opening up,China’s economy Economic development has caused a series of corporate social responsibility(CSR) issues, In recent years,Companies began to pay attention to their social responsibilities with public attention to corporate social responsibility(CSR). According to consumers’ attitudes toward corporate social responsibility, company in the Dual-channel has motivation to implement CSR as a Competitive differentiation tool to its production. If so, what influence can this CSR behavior bring to the supply chain operations and the companies’ economic performance?In order to solve this question, Based on the product differentiation role of corporate social responsibility(CSR), we employ the wholesale price contract to built a game model on dual-channel supply chain operations where an upstream manufacturer sells to two downstream retailers(1 and 2) and retailer 1 uses CSR activities to differentiate in the final market. The product differentiation divides the final market into two parts: one consists of consumers who accept retailer 1’s CSR activities; the other is composed of consumers who do not accept them. We first assume that the CSR consumer only buy products from retailer 1. The comparative statics on the equilibrium shows that the manufacture sells to retailer 1 at a lower wholesale price to stimulate it conduct CSR activities. Further, as consumers’ base utility(the degree of consumers’ CSR acceptance, retailer 1’s CSR conducting efficiency) increases, retailer 1’s CSR performance, the manufacturer’s wholesale prices, the retailing prices and supply chain members’ economic performance increase. Finally, retailer 1’s CSR activities weaken the competitiveness in the NCSR market segment via product differentiation.Secondly, we assume CSR market was opened to both retailer 1 and retailer 2.under this condition, The comparative statics on the equilibrium shows that retailer 1’s CSR behavior made its demand in CSR market increase as the degree of consumers’ CSR acceptance, retailer 1’s CSR conducting efficiency increases. This also made the manufacturer increase its profit through raise the wholesale price to retailer 1. As a result, retailer 1 and the manufacturer’s profit increase, while retailer 2’s profit decreases because of the reduction of demand in CSR market. Finally, retailer 1’s CSR activities weaken the competitiveness with retailer 2 via product differentiation.The contents are divided into five parts as follows: chapter one, Elaborating theoretical background. Chapter two, proposed the theoretical framework. Chapter three and chapter four is the building of model and solve the equilibrium, comparative statics on the equilibrium. Chapter five is the summary.
