Abstract

Blockchain technology is applied for product traceability in e‐commerce supply chains. In this context, the paper investigates the channel problem and decision timing problem considering product traceability. Using game‐theoretic framework, the manufacturer encroachment strategies, order quantities and profits under different channel structure, and traceability level are characterized. Research shows that selling traceability products can expand potential market demand and increase the sales volume of products and the profits of manufacturers and retailers. Under encroachment, members with information advantage can maximize their own profits. Additionally, manufacturers can regain the high ground by adjusting traceability levels to influence wholesale prices.
