Competing for Customer Goodwill on Product Availability
"... We develop a newsvendor model of two suppliers that compete to sell the same type of items to a customer, repetitively, in discrete periods, for an infinite time horizon. At the beginning of each period, each supplier orders a number of items which he receives immediately. In each period, the custom ..."

In all instances, the optimal ordering policy for each supplier turns out to be an “order-up-to ” policy. Key words: inventory theory
