Abstract

Blockchain technology is widely adopted in the e-commerce supply chain due to its excellent anti-counterfeiting and traceability capabilities. However, changes in platform models and market dominance will significantly affect how e-commerce enterprises adopt blockchain technology. Focusing on reselling and agency platform modes, this paper studies the optimal pricing and upstream-downstream blockchain data collection node deployment strategies in the e-commerce supply chain under manufacturer-dominated and platform-dominated scenarios based on game theory. The results show that manufacturers and e-commerce platforms can obtain more profits when they hold market dominance under the resale platform model and do not hold market dominance under the agency platform model. Under both manufacturer-dominated and platform-dominated scenarios, the agency platform model is more beneficial to manufacturers. In the manufacturer-dominated scenario, when the platform commission rate is low, the reselling platform model is more favorable to the e-commerce platform; when the commission rate is high, the agency platform model is more beneficial to the e-commerce platform. In the platform-dominated scenario, the reselling platform model is more favorable to the e-commerce platform. Manufacturers tend to choose the combination of the agency platform model and the platform-dominated scenario, while e-commerce platforms tend to select the combination of the reselling platform model and the platform-dominated scenario. Therefore, in the context of blockchain technology adoption, e-commerce enterprises should fully consider the impact of different platform models when deciding whether to strive for market dominance, and the influence of different market dominance when choosing platform models; they should adequately consider the interactive impact of platform models and market dominance structures when investing in blockchain technology.
