Article Description

Information technology can reduce coordination costs, leading to increased coordination and cooperation among buyers and suppliers in an industry. However, increased cooperation may be limited by other factors, particularly power dynamics and the structure of the bargaining game. This paper investigates the role of power in influencing the effects of IT on interactions between manufacturers and retailers in the consumer packaged goods industry.
