This paper investigates the value of advance payment financing to carbon emission reduction and production in a supply chain. We discuss two models, namely, (1) chain model with manufacturer that is not capital-constrained, under conditions being without financing, (2) capital-constrained manufacturer, using bank mixed financing. characterize compare optimal solutions models then extend cap-and-trade regulation general stochastic demand. find low-price discount can increase partners’...

The paper considers the sustainable trade credit and inventory policies with demand related to period environmental sensitivity of consumers under carbon cap-and-trade tax regulations. First, decision models are constructed three cases: without regulation, regulation. optimal solutions retailer in cases then discussed exogenous endogenous periods. Finally, numerical analysis is conducted obtain conclusions. shortens as consumer enhanced. cap has no effects on decisions Carbon price have...

Motivated by the industrial practices, this work explores carbon emission reductions for manufacturer, while taking into account capital constraint and cap-and-trade regulation. To alleviate constraint, two contracts are analyzed: greening financing cost sharing. We use Stackelberg game to model four cases as follows: (1) in Case A1, manufacturer has no sharing; (2) A2, financing, but (3) B1, and, (4) B2, Then, using backward induction method, we derive compare equilibrium decisions profits...

Abstract This paper discusses the impact of a trade credit policy on alleviating conflicts arising dual‐channel supply chain that includes one manufacturer and value‐added retailer. We use Stackelberg game to model problem characterize optimal pricing strategies for each partner, examining different circumstances in terms retail price contracts. When consistent strategy is applied dual channels under conditions an exogenous period, can help both partners achieve win‐win situations following...

This paper provides a comparative investment analysis of four leading firms in the media and entertainment industry: Walt Disney Company (DIS), Netflix, Inc. (NFLX), Warner Bros. Discovery, (WBD), Paramount Global (PARA). By evaluating valuation metrics, growth rates, profitability, study identifies Netflix as potential high-return investments. While demonstrates steady through diversified revenue streams, Netflix's strong brand innovative advertising strategies sustain investor confidence...

This study incorporates consumer’s low carbon awareness (CLA) and demand forecasting into supply chains that adopt the cap-and-trade system. Three scenarios are discussed, namely, information sharing, full retailer-only forecasting. Strategies for pricing reduction of equilibrium emission derived. We also compare decisions profits in three cases present numerical analysis.

This paper investigates the optimal replenishment policy for retailer with ramp type demand and dependent production rate involving trade credit financing, which is not reported in literatures. First, two inventory models are developed under above situation. Second, algorithms given to optimize cycle time order quantity retailer. Finally, numerical examples carried out illustrate solutions sensitivity analysis performed. The results show that if value of small, will lower frequency putting...

This paper discusses optimal order-taking strategies under competing trade credit policies with varying demands. study examines three decision-making scenarios, namely, (i) a centralized supply chain, (ii) decentralized and (iii) coordinated chain buyback contract. Optimal decisions are obtained for each scenario. We find that if the average forecast value of sensitivity is higher than real value, then at risk having an overestimated performance; lower actual underestimated performance. As...

Abstract This study considers a low-carbon supply chain model comprised of capital-constrained manufacturer and retailer under cap-and-trade system. These two parties can choose from financing modes: bank or mixed financing, in which the latter combines with equity financing. Two decision-making power structures are formulated, namely Nash game retailer-led Stackelberg model. Subsequently, comparative analysis equilibrium outcomes for both within these is performed, yielding following...

The impact of the retailer's information updating and supplier's loss averse attitude on push contract pull is analyzed production quantity members' profits. Furthermore, discuss contracts choice considering factors wholesale price, aversion.

This paper investigates an EPQ model with the increasing demand and dependent production rate involving trade credit financing policy, which is seldom reported in literatures. The considers manufacturer was offered by supplier a delayed payment time. It assumed that linear function of time proportional to demand. That is, also study attempts offer best policy for replenishment cycle order quantity maximum its profit per cycle. First, inventory developed under above situation. Second, some...

In the Business to Consumer (B2C) environment, it is important alleviate mismatch between delivery capacity and demand in express supply chain. To do this, we propose three contracts improve chain performance: advanced payment contract, penalty time insurance contract. assess these contracts, considered of one e-retailer provider. We discussed which contract better for partners when can coordinate found that its unit cost delayed orders lower, will choose advance among contracts. When...
