There is a universal meaning for studying the contract negotiations to improve the performance of the supply chain structure, which consists of competing multi-manufacturers and an independent and common retailer.

Every supplier needs to check the strategy and provide a wholesale price as the supplier pricing strategy, while retailer needs to choose which suppliers to order,...
