Environmental consciousness has become increasingly important in everyday life and business practice. The effort to reduce the impact of business activities on the environment has been labelled as green supply chain management. Any major greening project would require efforts on the part of the entire supply chain. However, very few studies have addressed the issue of coordinating the green sup...

Although take-it-or-leave-it pricing is the main mode of operation for many retailers, a number of retailers discreetly allow price negotiation when some haggle-prone customers ask for a bargain. At these retailers, the posted price, which itself is subject to dynamic adjustments in response to the pace of sales during the selling season, serves two important roles: (i) it is the take-it-or-lea...

In this paper, we apply game theory to study the price competition between drugstores and hospitals in China’s pharmaceutical supply chain. Motivated by drug shortages disparity problems, build a simplified model with one supplier, hospital, drugstore which sellers sell kind of compete on price. The hospital receives discount from government when ordering both face price-sensitive uncertain dem...

Enterprises have assigned increasing importance to remanufacturing, and meanwhile, the competitiveness of remanufacturing has also become established. In this article, game theory is exploited and government subsidies for remanufacturing, consumer willingness to pay and recycling competition are considered, with a focus on a supply chain consisting of one local manufacturer and one nonlocal rem...

Purpose From the quantum game perspective, this paper aims to study a green product optimal pricing problem of dual-channel supply chain under cooperation retailer and manufacturer reduce carbon emissions. Design/methodology/approach The decentralized centralized decision-making prices profits are obtained by establishing classical models. Then compared. Findings When entanglement is greater th...

This paper considers advertising, collection and pricing decisions simultaneously for a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) with one manufacturer (he) and two retailers (she). A multiplicatively separable new demand function is proposed which influenced by pricing and advertising. In this paper, three well-known scenarios in the game theory including the Nash, Stackelberg and Cooperative games are ...

How to effectively conduct investment regulation and control becomes the core question that the government departments are concerned about. In this paper, the relations among government, owner and contractor are studied and the static and dynamic game model is built for behaviors among each ...

Closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) management faces collection and remanufacturing cost disruption challenges. This study explores a CLSC system wherein original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) license the third-party remanufacturer (TPR) to bear activities investigate pricing decisions in CLSC, while considering disruptions. To obtain optimal strategy, we develop game theory models under disruptio...

In this article, we present a joint production, pricing, and inventory control problem that can help manufacturers manage revenue in an omnichannel environment. This article puts forward multiperiod Stackelberg game between manufacturer retailer, assuming the former to be leader. The leader–follower is formulated as mixed-integer nonlinear bilevel optimization wherein both players seek m...
