Comment on “Salesforce Compensation with Inventory Considerations”

This note critically analyzes the conditions for equilibrium existence in a model involving incentive schemes and inventory management. It identifies a technical flaw where equilibrium is asserted to exist under certain parameter values when, in fact, it does not. However, by introducing a reasonable assumption that inventory can only be ordered in sufficiently large increments, the qualitative outcomes and key insights remain intact.
