1 The Concept Coordination contracts [1,2] are a modelling primitive, based on methodologi-cal and mathematical principles [8,3], that facilitates the evolution of software systems. The use of coordination contracts encourages the separation of computation from coordination aspects, and the analysis of which are the " stable " and " unstable " entities of the system regarding evolution. Coordin...

We study the important problem of how to assure credible forecast information sharing between a supplier and a manufacturer. The supplier is responsible for acquiring the necessary capacity before receiving an order from the manufacturer who possesses private forecast information for her end product. We address how different contracts affect the supplier’s capacity decision and hence the profit...

This paper investigates a supply chain consisting of single risk-neutral supplier and risk-averse retailer with the call option contract service requirement, where retailer’s objective is to maximize Conditional Value-at-Risk about profit. The optimal ordering quantity production are derived in presence requirement. Furthermore, by investigating effect level risk aversion on chain, it found tha...

Revenue-sharing contracts offer risk-sharing approach ensure coordination optimize profit for all. Research on short life cycle revenue-sharing assume stab...

This paper investigates the Stackelberg equilibrium for pricing and ordering decisions in a multi-channel supply chain. We study a situation where a manufacturer is going to open a direct online channel in addition to n existing traditional retail channels. It is assumed that the manufacturer is the leader and the retailers are the followers. The situation has a hierarchical nature and...

Purpose Inter-organisational governance is an important enabler for information processing, particularly in relationships undergoing digital transformation (DT) where partners depend on each other decision-making. Based processing theory (IPT), the authors theoretically and empirically investigate how mechanisms address asymmetry (uncertainty equivocality) arising capturing, sharing interpretin...

Considering a fresh supply chain consisting of one supplier and retailer, this paper studies the pricing coordination under altruistic fairness concern supplier. Based on centralized decision Stackelberg game theory, decentralized model supplier’s is constructed, analyzed, cost-sharing contract based designed for coordination. The results show that can inspire retailer to improve freshness-keep...
