With the intensive growth of internet use, the customers choose the online market as the right preference. Hence, manufacturers are attracted to launch an online channel that includes a retail channel. To maintain the versatile demand types of products, a retailer is to stock more than one product of the same category, and consequently, he has to purchase products from different manufacturers. This article formulates a dual-channel supply chain model with two manufacturers and a standard retailer, where the optimal online prices, retail prices, wholesale prices, and level of green improvements are decided under different types of decision making power strategies such as Centralized, joint manufacturers Stackelberg, separate Stackelberg, Nash games are investigated. The optimal results are derived and compared with the help of a numerical example. Moreover, a sensitivity analysis is performed to scrutinize the effect of some important parameters. It is found that the green level is higher in a double dual-channel model than in a single dual-channel model. Moreover, the own-channel price sensitivity parameters affect the profit functions of the members negatively. The manufacturers must control the cost-coefficients of greening to increase the green level of the manufacturing products.

“…Then, Giovanni [9] have characterized a two-echelon (2En) CLP SCN in the battery industry and formulated a model with considering a manufacturer-retailer duality under MS game with recycling, where they have found that a maximum joint incentive always increases the GI level and profit of the manufacturer. After that, Shi et al [25] has constructed a stylized DC CLP SCN with one manufacturer, one retailer, and one recycler. They have considered the manufacturer as a leader and then optimize the effectiveness and competitiveness by incorporating one of the remaining entities.…”

Due to the hugely populated world, recycling of the used products has become the most significant perspective in e-commerce. The scientists have been exploring how increases the degree of recyclability and the green innovation level. This paper considers a supply chain with a manufacturer, a retailer, a supplier, and a collector. The manufacturer can increase or decrease the level of green innovation by changing the quality of raw materials. He sells them through his direct channel as well as the retailer's traditional channel. The retailer enforces the strategy promotional effort for enlarging his market demand. After Formulating the problem, the strategies in collector-led, supplier-led, collector-supplier Nash, and collector-supplier-retailer Nash game are studied under manufacturer Stackelberg games along with the centralized policy. The parameters' sensitivity has been analyzed to the profit and decision variables and then draw significant managerial insights. The model declares the optimal strategies for each player as well as the chain. It is achieved that the higher level of green innovation and promotional effort always increases all the profits. The optimal pricing decisions be lowest under the Collector-Supplier Nash game.

“…There was an investigation on how a firm's organisational structure can affect marketing decisions by Shi et al [59,60]. The authors compared a decentralized firm with separate manufacturing and remanufacturing divisions, one with centralised and consolidated manufacturing and remanufacturing and dual dedicated channels.…”

“…A different research by Shi et al [59,60] investigated the optimal supply chain integration strategy for the manufacturer in a stylised dual-channel closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) consisting of one manufacturer, one retailer, and one recycler. The manufacturer had to choose one of three strategies: forwardly integrating the retailer, reversely integrating the recycler, or integrating neither.…”

Product returns have been introduced to the supply chain because of the need to protect the environment and some circumstances beyond a manufacturer's control (such as product recalls).Introducing product returns has led to the formation of closed loop supply chains, that is, situations in which organisations both manufacture and remanufacture their own products. Closed loop supply chains (CLSCs) have been known to be uncertain in the timing, quality and quantity of the returns. In addition to these uncertainties, most organisations lack the necessary infrastructure and technology to perform reverse logistics operations on their own. For this reason, they seek assistance from external parties such as third party reverse logistics providers. Third parties often have the expertise and technology required to run reverse logistics operations. At the same time, the rapid pace of e-commerce has led to manufacturers adopting more than one channels for selling their products. However, in a closed loop supply chain setting, the dual channel has been defined by more than just selling products both offline and online. The aim of this paper was to review literature on the use of multiple and dual channels in reverse logistics and closed loop supply chains and identifies research gaps as well as future research directions on the topic. The paper investigated how multiple and dual channels have been utilised to address issues in reverse logistics and closed loop supply chains. A content-based analysis was carried out for 57 papers. The identified characteristics of these papers were classified into 9 categories. By reviewing literature on dual channel supply chains, the paper was able to identify the ways in which different channels are formed in closed loop supply chains. The purpose of the paper was threefold. Firstly, the literature review described the general characteristics of dual channel closed loop supply chains based on what was revealed by existing literature. The review also classified literature based on the definition of dual channel CLSC, research methodology and topic of focus. Finally, the research proposed some meaningful gaps and directions for future research. The results of the review showed that there is need to expand literature on the competition of channels, greening strategies and carbon emissions and supply chain dynamics and stability in dual channel closed loop supply chains. Future research should also consider relaxing some assumptions and incorporating real case studies.
