报告内容简介：

In omni-channel retailing, online retailers increasingly adopted the practice of online-to-offline channel integration (OOCI) for steering customers to their physical stores due to better customer experience and higher sales performance. This phenomenon generates great challenges for e-commerce platforms as their competitors not only involves the other platforms but also the retailer’s physical store. In order to figure out how can the focal platform deal with such situation, this study collected data from 248 online retailers who simultaneously have flagship stores in two dominant e-commerce platforms in China. By using propensity score matching and multilevel linear model, this study identifies the important role of retailer’s differential function usage strategy in multiple platforms. Specifically, online retailer’s OOCI practice (i.e., label the products as the same type in the physical store, buy online pick up in physical store) has negative influence on product sales performance in the focal platform. However, volume differentiation, category orientation differentiation and uniqueness can mitigate the negative influence of OOCI. The implications for platform owners and online retailers are further discussed.
