A study of return strategy under Omni-Channel retail based on Stackelberg game by Liu Yejun

“…In practice more and more retailers began to allow consumers to order online and pick up in store (BOPS), this paper focuses on the BOPS omni-channel model under the return strategy selection problem of the research, considering the product matching rate, online return processing costs, cross-channel return probability and other factors. Constructing Stackelberg game models by using the consumer utility function which is used for analyzing the consumers' choices for different channels and constructing the demand function of each channel and the profit function of retailers and manufacturers. …”
