Impacts of service uncertainty in bundling strategies on heterogeneous consumers

作者:

Highlights:

• We introduce uncertainty in service quality into the bundling strategy that is modeled.

• We solve a modeling problem related to price competition between bundling and individual sales.

• We discuss the impact of service uncertainty, cost sensitivity and product quality in our results.

• The discount can contribute or counterbalance the impact of service uncertainty.
