Business contracts play a central role in governing commercial interactions between organizations. It is increasingly recognized that business contract conditions need to be closely linked to internal and external business processes, both to reduce the risk of contract violations and to ensure compliance with legislative regimes. Recent research has proposed contract languages allowing the spec...

Coordination is an essential technique in cooperative distributed problem solving (CDPS). However, sophisticated coordination strategies are not always costeffective in all problem-solving situations. This paper presents a learning method to acquire coordination plans for specific problem-solving situations so that the appropriate type of coordination strategy is used. This learning is accompli...

Channel coordination using contracts is a topic that commanded a great deal of attention in the supply chain management literature. Several recent studies that tested the performance of coordinating contracts in the laboratory found that they fail to coordinate channels, and a major reason for this failure is that a significant proportion of offers are rejected. Our study extends the body of re...

The paper establishes a supply chain coordinating model based on single 4PL-multy 3PL. Considering goods loss and damage, it comes to the conclusion that the fixed revenue-sharing contract couldn't be coordination when the yields was relative to the efforts of 3PL and 4PL. In order to get the coordination, we first model a fixed revenue-sharing contract based on side payment using L-F model and...

In an Enterprise network, several companies interact to produce families of goods. Each member company seeks to optimize his own production and inventory policy to maximize his profit. These objectives are generally antagonistic and can lead to contradictory choices in the context of a network with a high degree of local decisional autonomy. To avoid a global loss of economic efficiency, the ne...

This study considers a manufacturer with ambidextrous sustainable innovation capability selling products in environmentally conscious market through an independent retailer two-period game setting. We design theoretic and dyadic supply chain (SC) model considering exploitative exploratory nature of environmental innovations. five different contract types, namely, wholesale price contract, verti...

In a three stage supply chain composed of one manufacturer, one distributor and one retailer, the supply chain coordination mechanism is studied under a fuzzy demand environment. The market demand is treated as a positive trapezoidal fuzzy number, and the models of centralized decision-making system and spanning revenue sharing (SRS) contract are proposed by the method of the fuzzy set theory. ...

Abstract Recently, in their 2019 paper, Poyago-Theotoky and Yong consider a managerial Cournot duopoly with pollution externalities emission taxes propose an explicit environmental incentive compensation contract. The authors compare several exogenous equilibria emerging the symmetric sub-games which owner offers either delegation contract or standard sales contract: abatement social welfare (r...

The coordination of a decentralized supply chain can be achieved by adopting supply chain contracts. This paper investigates how a decentralized supply chain can be coordinated by a revenue sharing contract, in which the supplier offers the retailer a lower wholesale price in return for a percentage of the retailer’s revenue. Salvage value and goodwill loss are taken into consideration, since i...
