The intelligent transformation of logistics plays a significant role in meeting the diverse needs customers, improving operational efficiency, and reducing carbon emissions activities. Therefore, to achieve sustainable development, enterprises need face decision-making problem transformation. In this paper, we construct Stackelberg game model between financially constrained logistics-service pr...

This research considers a fresh-product supply chain consisting of a single-buyer, a single-supplier for deteriorating products where the market demand is dependent on the retail price, fresh rate, and remaining rate. Firstly, in a competitive model, the primary decision variables (i.e., the supplier's wholesale price and preservation-technology investment and also buyer's order quantity and re...

Using the price for recycling used home appliances as a variable in the decision-making process, this paper studies the pricing decision-making process of the home appliances enterprises when a wholesale and retail price for the green home appliances have already been determined in advance. Considering the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to the whole sup...

When demand is uncertain, manufacturers and retailers often have private information on future demand, and such information asymmetry impacts strategic interaction in distribution channels. In this paper, we investigate a channel consisting of a manufacturer and a downstream retailer facing a product market characterized by short product life, uncertain demand, and price rigidity. Assuming the ...

We consider a manufacturer introducing a new product into a distribution channel and examine what wholesale price should be charged. The setting in many ways is simple. The channel is abbreviated with the manufacturer selling directly to the retailer. The contract is also simple, merely a flat wholesale price. Demand is stochastic but independent and identically distributed in each period. Comp...

With risk neutral traders and zero transaction costs, the expected value of the difference between the current forward price and the spot price of a commodity at the delivery date of the forward contract should be zero. Accounting for the transaction costs associated with trading in these two markets invalidates this result. We develop a statistical framework to test whether profitable trading ...

Using the price for recycling used home appliances as a variable in the decision-making process, this paper studies the pricing decision-making process of the home appliances enterprises when a wholesale and retail price for the green home appliances have already been determined by other methods. In consideration of the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to...

This paper consider optimization decision-making of closed-loop supply chain based on revenue sharing contract and prospect theory, and study the effect of lose aversion on the performance of closed-loop supply chain. We establish a decision-making model for the closed-loop supply chain which consists a loss averse retailer and a loss averse manufacturer. Through the analysis of this model unde...

This paper studies a buyback contract in the Stackelberg framework of a manufacturer (leader) selling to a price-setting, newsvendor retailer (follower). Using an analytical model that focuses on a multiplicative demand form, we generalize previous results and produce new structural insights. A novel transformation technique first enables us to establish the unimodality of the profit functions ...

Influence of market share of buyers on choice of contracts has not received sufficient attention in the context of various supply chain structure. This paper focuses on this gap and examines a network consisting of one supplier and two buyers under complete and partial decentralization. In the complete decentralized setting both buyers are independent of the supplier. In the partial decentraliz...
