TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze how a supplier can structure the terms of an optimal quantity discount schedule to maximize the supplier's incremental net profit and cash flow by adjusting its present pricing schedule to entice a major customer to increase its present order size by a factor of "K".
Abstract: In this paper, we analyze how a supplier can structure the terms of an optimal quantity discount schedule. The vendor's challenge is to adjust his present pricing schedule to entice his major customer to increase his present order size by a factor of "K." Optimal levels for "K" and the corresponding price discount are determined in order to maximize the supplier's incremental net profit and cash flow. Implementation issues are discussed and future research needs identified.

9 Sep 2015TL;DR: In this article, behavioral decision theory literature was used to identify the determinants of negotiation success in an integrative bargaining, free-market exercise where buyers and sellers were allowed to engage in negotiations with as many competitors as possible in a fixed time period.
Abstract: The behavioral decision theory literature was used to identify the determinants of negotiation success in an integrative bargaining, free-market exercise. This study provides a novel methodology for studying negotiation. Specifically, buyers and sellers were allowed to engage in negotiations with as many competitors as possible in a fixed time period. The results suggest that integrative bargaining behavior increases and the market converges toward a Nash equilibrium as negotiators gain experience. In addition, the results suggest that (1) positively framed negotiators (“What will be my net profit from the transaction?”) complete more transactions than negatively framed negotiators (“What will be my expenses on this transaction?”), (2) negotiators who are given moderately difficult profit constraints in order to be allowed to complete a transaction achieve more profitable transactions than negotiators without such constraints, and (3) both framing and the existence of constraints affect the total profitability of the negotiator.
