Should suppliers allow capacity transfers?
研究供应商是否应允许买家将未使用的预留产能转让给其他买家，以及是否应收取转让费。发现多数情况下，供应商应让转让方保留大部分零售利润且不收费。
This research considers situations in which buyers pay to reserve their suppliers' capacity for future use. The study specifically explores whether suppliers should provide transfer rights, allowing buyers unable to use all of their reserved capacity to transfer the excess to another buyer, and whether they should charge a transfer fee. The study finds that, in most cases, the supplier maximizes financial outcomes when the buyer releasing the excess capacity keeps most of the retail‐level profit from the transfer and the supplier does not charge a transfer fee.
