“…There are implications for non‐government organizations (NGOs) and charity organizations as well. Gaur et al () suggest that there is huge demand of reconstructed products, and our data also indicate that consumers in both societies are aware of such products. Therefore, NGOs and charity organizations can collaborate with firms to promote reconstructed products.…”

“…The key reasons that influence consumers' perception towards reconstructed products are perceived lower quality (Guide & Li, ; Matsumoto, Chinen, & Endo, ; Michaud & Llerena, ), perceived risks (Hamzaoui Essoussi & Linton, ; Wang, Wiegerinck, Krikke, & Zhang, ), individual factors (Gaur et al, ; Hazen et al, ), and perceived lower value (Wang et al, ). However, published literature suggests that if government and society intervene, then consumers' perception towards reconstructed products may become favourable (Gaur et al, ). For instance, attachment of sociocultural norms or values with consumption influences consumers' perception towards reconstructed products (Oliver & Lee, ; Soroa‐Koury & Yang, ).…”

“…Product reconstruction provides economic advantage along with environment sustainability. For instance, an annual sale of more than $300 billion is generated by 130,000 companies in the United States (Gaur, Subramoniam, Govindan, & Huisingh, 2017;Pearce, 2009). The reconstructed 1 products generate higher profit margins (on an average 20%) than new products that typically range from 3% to 8% (Pearce, 2009).…”

The purpose of this study is to understand whether consumers from different cultures have varied perception towards reconstructed products. Cultural divergence concept provides the theoretical support for the study. Data are collected from consumers of two culturally diverse societies (India and the United States). We use grounded theory for interview and data analysis. From the data, 23 open codes and 8 axial codes for Indian consumers and 28 open codes and 8 axial codes for the American consumers are generated. The key finding of our study suggests that culture plays a decisive role in shaping consumers' perception towards reconstructed products. The other findings of our study indicate that consumers of both societies are influenced by other factors that include product‐ or process‐related factors, brand‐ or store‐related factors, and individual factors. We discuss policy level, firm level, and nonprofit or charity level implications. Finally, limitation and scope for future research are outlined.

“…Core acquisition management is the activity of obtaining the right cores in terms of quality and amount in a timely manner [24]. According to Gaur et al [25], core acquisition is one of the most important parts of the closed-loop supply chain because all other activities depend on it. It does not only determine a remanufacturing business's profit, but it is also crucial for determining other operational aspects, such as production planning and control, as well as inventory policy [11].…”

HeavyEq is an Indonesian company that remanufactures diesel engines for the mining industry. The company experiences delays in the remanufacturing process that lead to a sales backlog. The main purpose of this paper is to identify the root cause of, and propose a solution to, the problem. A fishbone diagram is developed to identify the root cause, and the results show that delays in the remanufacturing process are mainly caused by uncertainty over cores (used engines) in terms of their arrival time, quantity, and quality. Based on a literature review and interviews with experts, an improvement in core acquisition activity, separating job orders for disassembly and recovery, and reassembly processes is proposed to reduce delays in the remanufacturing process.

“…Chen et al (2012) [23] provided a variety of optional warranty services based on consumer heterogeneity risk preferences and moral hazard decisions in different market periods. Gaur et al (2017) [24] conducted research on the influencing factors of consumer purchase and perceived behavior, and analyzed the pricing decision problem. In terms of factors affecting consumer purchasing behavior, there is an uncertainty in the duration of consumers holding their own goods (Joshi and Rahman, 2015 [25]), loss aversion and other influencing factors.…”

The remanufacturing warranty strategy has become an effective mechanism for reducing consumer risk and stimulating market demand in closed-loop supply chain management. Based on the characteristics of consumers' behavior of purchase decisions, this paper studies the warranty decision model of remanufacturing closed-loop supply chain under the Stackelberg game model. The present study discussed and compared the decision variables, including remanufacturing product pricing, extended warranty service pricing, warranty period and supply chain system profit. The research shows that consumers' decision-making significantly affirms the dual marginalization effect of the supply chain system while significantly affecting the supply chain warranty decision; the improved revenue sharing contract and the two charge contracts respectively coordinates the manufacturer-led and retail-oriented closed-loop supply chain system, which effectively implements the Pareto improvement of the closed-loop supply chain system with warranty services. In the present study, the model is verified and analyzed by numerical simulation.Sustainability 2018, 10, 4738 2 of 21 in determining the total cost of the product (Shafiee and Chukova, 2013 [4]). A satisfactory warranty policy will increase consumers' willingness to purchase remanufactured products while contributing to production sustainability and resource efficiency (Song et al. 2018 [5]). However, the supply chain must balance between the warranty inputs and outputs to maximize benefits. This paper is primarily related to the research in three streams: the operation of the warranty strategy (which mainly focusing on the warranty period and the product life cycle), the supply chain pricing strategies and the consumer behavior theory. In the following, we review the literature in these three streams.At present, scholars have done preliminary research on the operation of warranty strategies, mainly focusing on the warranty period and the product life cycle. Li et al. (2016a) [6] studied the impact of the warranty period on the closed-loop supply chain system from the perspective of product warranty period. Lan et al. (2014) [7] explored the impact of product price and quality on the development of warranty strategies under the fuzzy supply chain based on three types of warranties. Du et al. (2016) [8] accurately estimated product warranty costs based on product endogenous variables (product loss rate, etc.) and gave cost calculation methods. Arabi et al. (2017) [9] determined the the best warranty period from the perspective of the manufacturer and consumer to minimize the total cost of use and increase the service life. Chen et al. (2017) [10] considered product warranty as an economic compensation for consumers in the event of product failure and compared the impact of the extended warranty provided by the manufacturer or distributor on the overall market. Li et al. (2016b) [11] discussed issues related to the manufacturer's pricing strategy in two supply chains, including one manufactur...
