Sharing accurate and timely supply and demand information
throughout a supply chain can yield significant performance
improvements to all members of the supply chain. Despite the
benefits, many firms are reluctant to share information with their
supply chain partners due to an unequal distribution of risks,
costs, and benefits among the partners. Thus, incentive mechanisms
must be in place to induce communication, cooperation, and
collaboration among all members of a supply chain. The issue of
Information exchange/sharing has been examined by various
researchers over the last 15-20 years. However, there is no
research book that compiles various approaches, analyses, key
implications, as well as future development of this area. This book
will serve as a handbook for researchers who are interested in
learning the state of the art of the line of research in this area
and explore open research topics in this area. Contributors, all
leading researchers, have committed to delivering 18 chapters,
broken into four distinct sections covering the Value of
Information Sharing, Contracting and Information, Information
Signaling, and Incentives for Information Sharing.
