Abstract:China’s brick-and-mortar retail are facing the challenges of transformation and upgrading,also the development of online retail has entered the stage of game among giants. Under this background,China’s supplier- retailer relationship has undergone new changes. The government has attached great importance to the role of supplier- retailer relationship in healthy development of retail industry,emphasizing the need to formulate the principles of fair trade and to support the improvement of new supplier-retailer relationship in many policies issued in recent years. Government regulation and industry self-discipline are two major approaches to regulate supplier- retailer transactions. At present,China mainly adopts the approach of government regulation. However,for a long time,there have been problems such as low effectiveness and multi-party regulatory confusion with this regulatory framework. As an important supplement to government regulation,industry self- discipline can regulate supplier- retailer transactions effectively,reducing regulatory costs and preventing supplier- retailer conflicts. Many developed countries including the United Kingdom,the European Union,and Australia have established self- discipline frameworks for supplier-retailer transactions. However,this framework has long been absent in China,and related research papers are also very limited. Based on analyzing the status of supplier- retailer relationship and regulation in China,the author summarizes the experiences of supplier-retailer transaction self-discipline in developed countries and raises suggestions for constructing China's supplier-retailer transaction self-discipline framework. The author believes that government should play the role as giving policy and legislation guidance and providing supervision in self-discipline framework. Under the guidance of laws and regulations and on the basis of coordination and communication,all parties should jointly formulate the self- discipline principle and establish self-discipline organization. Based on this self-discipline framework,the self-discipline organization should establish a supplierretailer complaint investigation and conflict mediation mechanism,to form a multi- level model in which administrative law enforcement deals with illegal transactions and self-discipline framework resolves general conflicts.
