“…The research of Wang et al [35] considered competition regarding CSR investment level to be an important component of firms' competitiveness with the emergence of consumers' awareness of CSR and found that the manufacturer's profit is convex with respect to consumers' environmental awareness [40]. A socially concerned manufacturer can offer a higher price for its products [14].…”

Optimal coordination and service level of the supply chain in the sharing economy: the perspective of social responsibility

The sharing economy has changed people’s lives. These changes have accelerated the pace of life and improved the quality of life, but have also had some negative effects. For example, in China, in the supply chain of the takeout delivery platform, the service deliverer often violates traffic rules to shorten the delivery time. This phenomenon has aroused widespread concern in society. From the perspective of sustainable operation of platform enterprises and reducing social risks, this issue is worthy of in-depth study. First, this study analyses the optimal decision-making about pricing and service efforts, then discusses the supply chain coordination mechanism under a revenue-sharing contract, and finds that the platform’s service level is related to the efforts of deliverers and the elasticity of demand/service. However, under a traditional revenue-sharing contract, the economic returns are not enough to motivate deliverers to avoid violations of traffic regulations; When the increase of cost caused by the improvement of service level is not fully covered by the revenue sharing from the platform, they have a strong incentive to break the rules even if the optimal coordination can be achieved in the supply chain. Second, this study reconstructs the revenue-sharing contract by adding social responsibility to the objective function of the platform enterprises and designs contingent rewards to regulate behaviours of service deliverers. The results indicate that when the contingent reward factor reaches a certain level, the optimal effort of the service deliverers is constrained within a reasonable range, which can to some extent reduce the occurrence of illegal behaviour. Our findings offer fresh insights on coordination of supply chain in the sharing economy, identify new direction for future research on CSR, and provide managers of platform enterprises with suggestions for regulating the behaviour of partners and balance the economic and social benefits.

“…Classic coordination contracts include sharing revenue contract, buy-back contract, quantity-flexibility contract, wholesale pricing contract, and quantity discount contract [32]. Now, researchers have to add some other factors into the coordination contract, such as environmental, economic, and social dimensions [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. For the two-tier reverse supply chain, Heydari et al [41] proposed a coordination mechanism combining quantity discounts with increasing fee, adding government subsidies into the contract as incentives so that each member has enough initiative to participate in the coordination process, which favors retailers much more.…”

Decision and Coordination of Low-Carbon E-Commerce Supply Chain with Government Carbon Subsidies and Fairness Concerns

et al. 2020

More low-carbon products help fight climate change and environmental problems. Governments consider encouraging the manufacturer’s initiative of producing low-carbon products by providing subsidies. However, when the manufacturer sells low-carbon products through the e-commerce platform, fairness concerns arise because of the profit difference. So, this paper builds game models to study decision behavior in the low-carbon e-commerce supply chain when the manufacturer receives government carbon subsidies and has fairness concerns. Our findings show that consumers’ preference for low-carbon products will be conducive to the operation of the supply chain. So it is necessary to popularize low-carbon products. The effect of government subsidies on supply chain decisions is different from fairness concerns. Government subsidies are positive factors in the supply chain operation, which can stimulate the manufacturer to make low-carbon products as expected and choose the high quality-high price development mode. This will help improve the profit of enterprises in the supply chain but cannot effectively stimulate the e-commerce platform to increase its service level. By contrast, the manufacturer’s fairness concerns are negative factors, which make the manufacturer prefer to adopt a low quality-low price development mode to improve their utility. This offsets the positive effect of government subsidies. It turns out that the profit of both node enterprises and the supply chain system has declined. But, fairness concerns are an important way to express the manufacturer’s demand. Finally, the joint allocation contract of cost and profit designed by comprehensively considering the effect of government subsidies and fairness concerns can make the supply chain coordinated. However, even as positive factors, only within a specific range do government subsidies help coordinate the supply chain, but not the more, the better.

“…Zhang et al [7] constructed a two-echelon supply chain model with double-sided disruptions, proposed two coordination models AQDP and CLPP, and explained the specific situation that this coordination model is suitable for application. In the sustainable closed-loop supply chain, Johari and Hosseini-Motlagh [8] proposed and verified the promotion effect of two-way two-part tariff contract on collection rate, consumer surplus, social welfare, and profits of all CLSC members. Hosseini-Motlagh et al [9] proposed two-part tariff contract, which can improve the profits of the reverse supply chain and its members and improved the environment.…”

“…A large number of studies show that cooperation in the supply chain can be carried out in the form of contracts and can obtain additional benefits or reduce certain costs, such as Zhang et al [7]; Johari et al [8]; and Hosseini-Motlagh et al [9]. In the dual-channel supply chain, the coordinated measures are often that the leaders of the positive and negative supply chain (not the same) put forward their own preferential prices to reach a lower retail price so as to increase the demand and realize the increase of the profits of the supply chain.…”

In recent years, the market economy has been booming, and the demand of consumers has begun to become diversified. Consumers’ preferences for products, the sensitivity of product prices, and other factors can often affect the market demand and also make enterprises realize the importance of consumer preferences. The decision-making model of the supply chain with consumer preference composed of a retailer and a third-party presale platform is established, and we analyze the implementation of a single presale model, a single spot-sale model, and decision-making models under the “presale and sale” mode. The equilibrium strategy of centralized decision and decentralized decision under the mode of “presale and sale” is compared, and the influence of the proportion of informed consumers and the exogenous variables of cross-period discount on supply chain decision is further analyzed. The coordination strategy of the decentralized decision supply chain under the mode of “presale and sale” is put forward, and the coordinated operation among supply chain members is realized. The results show that compared with other sales models, the “presale and spot-sale” model is more beneficial to the profit of the supply chain.
