    摘要:

    消费者预期后悔对在线零售商的决策有显著影响.在考虑消费者预期后悔、需求不确定性以及是否提供退货的情况下,构建了零售商定价和库存优化模型.研究发现,当零售商不提供退货时,消费者的保留价格、零售商的最优价格、最优订货量和期望利润均随着迟疑后悔强度的减弱或购买后悔强度的增加而减小.零售商提供全额退款提高消费者的保留价格,并使得零售商在一定条件下不受消费者预期后悔的影响.零售商是否提供全额退款受到消费者预期后悔、消费者退货成本、产品边际成本和回收残值的综合影响:当退货成本较小且预期后悔满足一定条件时,提供退货是有利的;否则,提供全额退款会降低零售商的期望利润.研究强调在制定退货决策时考虑消费者预期后悔和退货成本的重要性.

    Abstract:

    This paper studies a online retailer's pricing and inventory decisions and consumer returns policy with consideration of consumers' anticipated regret. A game-theoretical model, in which a retailer sells a single product to consumers, is developed. The retailer faces demand uncertainty and makes pricing and inventory decisions before the demand uncertainty is realized. Moreover, consumers face valuation uncertainty and may experience buyer's regret or hesitater's regret. They decide whether to purchase in anticipation of potential regret. Besides, consumers care about the retailer's return policy: If the retailer allows returns, then consumers may return the product to the retailer at a return cost when the realized valuation is low. Several interesting results are obtained: First, in the case of no return, consumers' reservation price and the retailer's optimal price,optimal ordering quantity and expected profit decrease with the buying regret and increase with the hesitation regret. Second, although a full return policy increases consumers' reservation price and may allow the retailer's price and quantity decisions to be independent of consumers' anticipated regret, it does not necesarily increase the retailer's expected profit. Whether a retailer should adopt a full return policy is affected by consumers' anticipated regret, return cost, marginal cost and salvage value of the product. When the return cost is low and the expected regret satisfies certain conditions, it is beneficial to adopt a full return policy; Otherwise,a full return policy will decrease the retailer's profit. This study emphasizes the importance of considering the consumer's expected regret and return cost when making product return decisions.
