- Abstract
Double Eleven is a shopping festival in China. Millions of people wait until 12 a.m. of that day only to spend more money on various online shopping platforms. The reason people do this on Double Eleven is that all the online shopping companies will make a great discount on that day. Not only the consumers will benefit from the day of Double Eleven, but companies also gain a huge number of profits from this. Double Eleven also provides an opportunity for online shopping companies to attract more consumers through a greater number of discounts for their products. Since the demand will always go up whenever there are discounts on the products according to the law of demand. As a result, there are two choices for the companies during this opportunity of Double Eleven: price war and cooperation. The price war will make their products more attractive to consumers due to the lower prices in the market, whereas cooperation would make a win-win situation in which they both gain profits. This study focuses on that to what situation should firms choose to cooperate. It indicates that if the discounted rate is larger or equal to 0.5, companies will cooperate. On the contrary, the companies will choose to establish the price war if this parameter is smaller than 0.5, involving more profitability than cooperation. The result of this study can be helpful when firms decide a strategy.
