Abstract
In this chapter, analytical models are developed to study the benefits from cooperation and leadership in a supply chain. In addition to providing analytical expressions for cooperation and leadership, we investigate conditions under which cooperation and leadership policies should be taken by the leader of the supply chain. A total of eight cooperation/leadership policies of the leader company are analyzed by using four models. We give optimal decisions for the leader company under different cost combinations. Some analytical implications obtained from this study show that if the benefit of leadership is high, then the leadership is always an optimal policy.
