Information Asymmetry in Supply Chain Coordination: State of the Art

Abstract

Supply chains consist of several actors from supplier, manufacturer, distributer, wholesaler and retailers connected to each other by financial, material and informational flows. Optimal performance of supply chains requires set of actions that coordinate the members’ decisions [1], [2]. In many cases, members are trying to optimize their own objectives which can lead to asymmetric information by keeping some strategic information private. Although, this information asymmetry is a challenge affecting the coordination of supply chain, but it is achievable if proper set of coordinating mechanism executed. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of supply chain coordination under asymmetric information and tries to analyze the trend in the context and address the evolution and gaps in existing literature.

Selection of Suppliers for Speech Recognition Products in IT Projects by Combining Techniques with an Integrated Fuzzy MCDM

“…Although the majority of studies employed AHP, ANP, TOPSIS, and their combinations with the fuzzy set to choose the best supplier, VIKOR, DEMATEL, and ANOVA were also used often. VIKOR has been employed in over 750 supply chain management (SCM) studies over the last two decades, and there are over 500 researches on the intuitionistic fuzzy approach to SCM challenges [5,6]. According to research, VIKOR is typically used in conjunction with fuzzy AHP, fuzzy ANP linguistic information, fuzzy DEMATEL, ELECTRE, and BWM, and other fuzzy techniques, whereas intuitionistic fuzzy is typically used in conjunction with MULTIMOORA, AHP, PROMETHEE, UTASTAR, ELECTRE, and ANP.…”

Smart Transportation Behavior through the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Ride-Hailing System in Iran

“…Most academic studies on corporate mobility currently focus on the acceptance and effects of ride-hailing systems due to the recent emergence of taxi booking services [12]. Nowadays, users are more inclined towards informal public transport modes [13], known as ride-sourcing services, which provide real-time connectivity between drivers and passengers, and effectively enhance urban mobility by providing last-mile connectivity to the passengers [14]. Although transport systems are typically large and complicated, the spatial and operational interdependence between them and other infrastructures makes it very difficult to identify potential bottlenecks and critical points [15].…”
