摘要
While embracing omnichannel operations, firms are rolling out ship-from-store (SFS). This paper considers a newsvendor-like retailer operating both online and offline channels, and analyzes how SFS affects the seller's profits. In our model, consumers strategically choose a channel to optimize their utility, which is investigated by applying the theory of hyperbolic discounting. The results show that, interestingly, the firm can be worse off implementing SFS, when the customer-base expansion thanks to SFS is not significant. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
