This paper investigates the emission reduction performance for supply chain members in both single-channel and exclusive dual-channel cases. Two game scenarios (Manufacturer Stackelberg Retailer Stackelberg) are examined under different channel structures. Furthermore, we introduce government subsidies as an impact factor of low-carbon strategy adoption. In (Case 1), mainly examine influence consumers’ price-sensitivity on members’ optimal decisions. 2), focus joint product substitutability...

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of manufacturers' cost misreporting and blockchain technology on supply chain pricing, member performance, coordination. We find that while manufacturers may not always have incentives to misreport their costs, when occurs, it intensifies double marginalization effect, which negatively impacts both retailer entire chain. Moreover, consistently benefits rival manufacturer, regardless whether also misreports. identify three possible equilibria in...

As digital platforms reshape the commercial landscape, brands increasingly collaborate with these to enhance product sales. Many adopt livestream as a strategic tool attract more traffic, typically choosing between Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Key Opinion Leader (KOL) approaches. Meanwhile, operate under either an agency resale mode. However, relative effectiveness of strategies remains unclear. This study investigates e-commerce supply chain comprising single brand and platform,...

Abstract We apply the theory of corporate social responsibility to analyse welfare investment undertaken by Chinese State Owned Enterprises (SOEs). present a simple theoretical model illustrate how presence objectives in firm's objective function changes its behaviour. Our accommodates special features SOEs, whose is driven both and profit concerns. The then tested using panel enterprises during period 1995–1999. empirical analysis indicates that despite corporatization reform SOEs still...

The traceability of blockchain is crucial to the quality and safety agricultural products, primarily when bacterial contamination occurs in supply chain. To gain a deeper understanding impacts on we built three-level chain model comprising one retailer, manufacturer, supplier. We aimed explore impact retailers’ altruistic preference pricing decisions channel member profit, then examine motivation enterprises participate technology. Our study showed that: (1) technology has potential improve...

5G technology promotes the development of modern agriculture in direction intelligence and precision. It plays a very important role both research agricultural products planting production products. Compared with 4G networks, network has faster information dissemination rate higher quality dissemination, which can effectively solve problems existing original wireless transmission. Combining this Internet Things, identify change rural economic development. not only improve efficiency...

<abstract><p>In a low-carbon supply chain (LCSC) constructed by single manufacturer and retailer, three decision-making models are established introducing channel preference attributes. That is, sales model, an online offline dual model in which the share revenue with her retailer. Using mean variance (MV) method to characterize risk aversion utility function of following r found. i) Consumers' for products is conducive raising price firms' profits. ii) The deepening retailer's...

Purpose Driven by the rapid expansion of online retail and surge in livestream commerce, impact different mode on brand platform performance has become a critical issue. This paper analyzes artificial intelligence (AI) key opinion leader (KOL) profitability brands platform, incorporating effects horizontal interactions to identify optimal mode.

An island logistics system is vulnerable in emergency conditions and even isolated from land logistics. Drone-based distribution an emerging solution investigated this study to transport packages a base the islands. Considering drone costs, landing platforms islands, incorporation into ground system, categorizes direct, point-to-point, cyclic bi-stage modes: direct mode, are distributed station customers directly by drones; point-to-point transported platform then independently; closed...

This paper investigates a dual exclusive channel model in which each manufacturer distributes its goods through single retailer, but two are substitute. The decision rule between channels is Nash game Case 1, while it Stackelberg 2. From (MS), retailer (RS), and (VN) theoretic perspectives, nine models developed to examine the effect of product substitutability relative status on pricing decisions at both horizontal competition vertical levels. analysis suggests that type price leadership...

We consider a decentralized two-period supply chain in which manufacturer produces product and sells it through retailer facing price-dependent demand. assume that the second period production cost declines linearly first-period production, but with random learning rate. As mean and/or standard deviation of rate increase, traditional double marginalization problem becomes more severe, leading to greater efficiency loss channel. obtain revenue sharing contracts can coordinate dynamic chain....

The emergence of digital inclusive finance has breathed new life into the agricultural enterprises' growth. Utilizing A-share companies listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges between 2011 2020 as our research focus, this study empirically explores impact enterprise value, well intervening role financing constraints.
