讲座主要内容
We investigate how the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) determine advertising strategies for smartphone products. Consumers have heterogeneous valuation of the device quality and are with homogeneous operating system (OS) quality. OEM has two advertising strategies: informative advertising (IA) and persuasive advertising (PA). We consider the proprietary and open-source OS development strategies. Our results show that in the proprietary system, the OS quality serves as an accelerator (stimuli) for the OEM to expand the base market. The OEM prefers IA when its effectiveness is not lower than a threshold and prefers PA regardless of its effectiveness. In the open-source system, The OEM chooses PA when the OS quality is low and chooses not to advertise when the OS quality is high. When the OS quality is moderate, the OEM’s decision depends on the PA effectiveness. Interestingly, the OEM prefers PA for a low effectiveness, and prefers no advertising for a high effectiveness. We find that the OEM may not always prefer advertising (a) when the effectiveness of IA is low, or the effectiveness of PA is high for a moderate OS quality; or (b) the effectiveness of IA is not low for a high OS quality. When the effectiveness of IA is moderate, the OEM chooses between PA and IA.
