Under group buying strategy, a retailer offers buyers price discount based on buyers' aggregate purchase quantity. This paper studies the supply chain coordination issue with a supplier and a retailer that uses group buying mechanism when selling to customers. We demonstrate that a buyback contract can coordinate the supply chain under group buying, and how its contract terms critically depend on the quantity threshold above which group buying deal is activated.
