This pape is diffeet fom most of the extat studies about emaufatuig beause they oside deisios of fims athe tha supply hais. We maily fous o the emaufatuig stategy of the maufatue whe thee is a loal emaufatue. We deive the equilibium esults fo all playes ad do some ompaative studies ude diffeet ases. We fid that podut substitutability a ivet the effet of maufatue s extesio deisio o the etaile s pofit. We also oside the effet of hael stutue by ompaig the deetalized hael with the etalized hael.

INTRODUCTION ION Remaufatuig efes to eoomi poess with eoveig the ed-of-life poduts, whih wee fist podued by oigial equipmet maufatue (OEM). Remaufatued podut ofte has the same futio as the ew oe but heape, so it s a good alteative hoie fo some osumes. It is well kow that, emaufatuig has a lowe podutio ost ad plays a impotat ole i eduig eviomet bude. Addig emaufatued podut is also a oveietly way to exted podut lie, whih a help OEM attat moe osumes ad elage the maket sale futhemoe. Howeve, a OEM may be ot willig to patiipate i emaufatuig beause emaufatued podut may aibalize sales of the highe-magi ew poduts, as well as eed a geat amout of moey to build a eessay evese hael. As a supply hai playe, OEM s deisio a be iflueed by othe patiipats, suh as etaile ad loal emaufatue. Thee exist some loal emaufatues, who have matue failities fo this poess ad will always take bak the ed-life poduts ad epodue them ito ew oes. These epodued poduts a aibalize the sales of the OEM s. Fo example, some Chiese mahie tool maufatues ae puzzled with emaufatuig deisios beause thee is a big ompay Catepilla extats the big pat of pofit i this idusty. Thus, it is vey impotat fo the OEM to make a tade-off betwee the emaufatuig o ot whe faig a outside ompetito. Chael stutues a also have some effets o the OEM s deisio. Havig a etaile a be effiiet, while they have advaed maketig stategy. Howeve, a maufatue just has its ow sale hael just like Dell. We will also oside diffeet haels' impat o the OEM s deisio. I the etalized settig, we will fist oside the supply hai without a loal emaufatue to see the aibalizatio effet i diffeet hael stutues.

We fist oside a situatio without a loal emaufatue, so the system a be modeled as a Stakelbeg game, whee the OEM is the leade ad the etaile is the followe.

Both etail ad wholesale pies of the ew podut ae lowe if thee is emaufatued podut, ad the ompetitio will futhe deease the pies fo the ew oe. The OEM will have a highe ietive to exted podut lie if thee is a outside ompetito. Fom the ompaiso betwee the etalized ad the deetalized hael, we kow that if both OEM ad loal emaufatue use thei ow haels, the the OEM will pefe to patiipate i emaufatuig to avoid the ompetitio fom othe playe.

Sie the maket sale of the emaufatued podut is smalle tha the ew oe, this a be tue i a matue maket. Fistly, we oside a supply hai without a emaufatue to deive the optimal oditio, ude whih the OEM will ivest i emaufatuig. The OEM ad the etaile play a Stakelbeg game to deide the optimal pies. Whe thee is a loal emaufatue, the OEM s emaufatuig stategy may be diffeet beause poduts fom loal emaufatue a be egaded as a theat. The time sequee of this game is as follows: (i) The maufatue deides whethe to emaufatue the used podut o ot.

(iii) The etaile deides the etail pies fo both poduts.

Whe thee is o emaufatued podut i the maket, we assume the demad fo the emaufatued oe as zeo [3] by settig p a dp, so the demad fo ew oe is: D( p) ( a da ) (1 d) p. Whe thee is oly oe podut i the maket, the pofit fo the etaile is ( p, w) D( p w), (1) whih is a oave futio of p, i.e., ( p, w) / p d < 0.

Sie the expessio of the emaufatuig bouday is omplex, we will ay out sesitivity aalysis o it late o. We a also see fom the equilibium wholesale pie fo the ew podut that it will iease with both maket sizes of the two poduts.

By diffeetiatig the equilibium wholesale pie with espet to d, we a have wholesale pie due to the elaged maket size. a a w / d > 0, whih meas that OEM will ieases (1 d) By ompaig the equilibium deisios befoe ad afte extesio, we have the followig. Coollay 1. Whe OEM patiipate i emaufatuig, the pies satisfy w < w ad p < p. Fom Coollay 1, we a see that both the etail ad wholesale pies ae lowe ude emaufatuig. As thee is a ompetitive podut i the maket, the etaile may wat to deease pie to attat moe osumes. The OEM may the ut pies of the poduts to ompesate the etaile. 4..

Both of them sell thei poduts though a ommo etaile, i this way, the pofit fo the etaile a be expessed as (6). So the pofit futio fo the OEM is ( p, p, w, w ) D ( w ).

New podut s wholesale pie vesus substitutability wholesale pie w w w 1 d As a be see i Figue 1, whe the loal emaufatue jois i emaufatuig, the wholesale pie fo the ew podut is lowe tha the OEM does itself. That is, whe thee is the ompetitio i the maket, both playes will deease the pie to attat moe osumes. Though, we have aleady show that the wholesale pie is highe whe thee is just oe podut i the maket, we a see fom Figue 1 that the diffeee betwee the wholesale pies ieases with podut substitutability. That is, whe podut substitutability is high, the wholesale pie diffeee is geat. To well udestad the effet of ompetitio, we defie Figue shows the effet of substitutability o F1. (4 d ) (1 d) C 4(1 d ) C 1 F 1 F F 1. 8(1 d )(4 d ) We a see fom Figue that the extesio age is wideed by the ompetitio. To avoid the aibalizatio fom the loal emaufatue, the OEM is willig to pay muh to edue the lost aused by the outside ompetito. We a also see that, F1 ieases with maket size, whih is obvious fo maket sale ieasig a help OEM to gai moe pofit. Whe podut substitutability is highe, the diffeee of the age of extesio beomes lage whe thee is a loal maufatue. As podut substitutability ieases, the ompetitio ieases, so OEM has a highe ietive to ivest i emaufatuig to gai a highe pofit. Figue 3 illustates the pofit fo the etaile ude diffeet oditios. Fistly, we oside the pofit fo the etaile if thee is o loal emaufatue. Whe podut substitutability is suffiietly low, havig two poduts fom OEM a make a highe pofit tha just holdig just ew oe. Sellig two diffeetiated poduts a help etaile attat moe osumes ad gai a highe pofit. Howeve, whe podut substitutability is high, just holdig oe podut is moe pofitable. Highe substituted emaufatued podut aibalizes the demad of the ew oe, while the magial pofit is lowe. So the pofit fo the etaile is lowe ude this oditio. Additioally, the etaile s pofit a be high if it sales poduts fom ot oly OEM but also the loal emaufatue. As podut lie extesio dampes the pie ompetitio, both OEM ad loal emaufatue edue thei pies to ompete fo maket, ad i this way the etaile a make a lage magial pofit though
