Aiming at the stock loss of supply chain, a two-stage decentralized supply chain with one manufacturer and two retailers was considered. For the members decision on whether invest Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or not, the players'profit models were constructed under three scenarios: none of the players adopts RFID (Scenario N), only the manufacturer and one retailer adopt RFID (Scenario S) and all players adopt RFID (Scenario T). The method of RFID tag cost-sharing was analyzed and the RFID investment strategy was discussed. The result showed that the manufacturer who used the new wholesale price contract or the cost-sharing coefficient contract could both share RFID cost effectively and get the same result, but could not coordinate the supply chain. When the retailers had the same shrinkage rates, the same RFID cost thresholds existed with the players of supply chain in scenarios S and T. The retailer with lower shrinkage rate would not initiative adopt RFID, while the retailer with higher shrinkage rate would initiative adopt RFID and prefer for scenario S.
