Details This study examines joint inventory and pricing decisions for products that are either substitutes or complements.
It incorporates the interdependence of demand, recognizing that a price change in one product may affect the demand for another.
The analysis considers how pricing and inventory levels can be coordinated to improve overall profitability.
Different policy implications are explored for substitute and complementary products.
The study provides a framework for more effective managerial decision-making when product demands are closely related.
