Abstract
In this paper, analytical models are developed to study the benefits from cooperation and leadership in a supply chain. In addition to providing analytical expressions for cooperation and leadership, we investigate conditions under which cooperation and leadership policies should be taken by the leader of a supply chain. A total of eight cooperation/leadership policies of the leader company are analyzed by using four models. We give optimal decisions for the leader company under different cost combinations.
