Manufacturer encroachment on a closed‐loop supply chain with design for remanufacturing

Under the carbon tax policy, the vehicle remanufacturing has become popular, which threatens the new vehicle market. Facing the complicated competitive environment, the automobile manufacturer always adjusts product modular design to deal with the challenges from the internal and external remanufacturing. Currently, considering the impacts of the complicated market competitions and product modular design on the enterprise's operation management, how the carbon tax policy affects the vehicle remanufacturing is still uncertain. Thus, we construct a duopoly remanufacturing competition model consisting of an automobile manufacturer and remanufacturer with the aim of maximizing profit and determine the optimal product modular design, production, and remanufacturing decisions as well as profits. Then, we explore the impacts of the carbon tax on the vehicle remanufacturing supply chain from the perspectives of the economic, environment, and consumer surplus. The results show that the carbon tax is always disadvantageous to automobile manufacturer's profit but may benefit the automobile remanufacturer's profit. Contrary to the intuition, improving the carbon tax is not always conducive to the environment and harmful to the consumer.

“…With the development of Internet, there are more and more researches on the structure of cross‐channel, multi‐channel, and omni‐channel supply chain (Hu et al, 2022; Verhoef et al, 2015). Beck and Rygl (2015) classified multi‐channel, cross‐channel, and omni‐channel retailing through literature review and proposed that multi‐channel retailing where consumers can shop across channels at any time and any place is usually called omni‐channel retailing.…”

Channel competition in omni‐channel supply chain considering social media advertising

Wang

Mei

et al. 2023

As a germane marketing tool, advertising has shrift to social media platform. What role of social media advertising plays in the omni‐channel supply chain needs to conduct a thorough examination. Therefore, this paper investigates a model in which a manufacturer supplies product to two competitive retailers to compare channel payoffs when considering social media advertising in four different scenarios. Specifically, the demand function fully considers the impact of exponential propagation of social media advertising. The conclusions could provide decision basis for enterprises and platform managers on social media channel selection, social media advertising pricing and cooperation form selection.

“…The recent development of e‐commerce and logistics industries has revolutionized supply chains' distribution channel patterns (Chiang et al, 2003; Hu et al, 2022). An increasing number of manufacturers are introducing online direct channels while retaining traditional retail channels, referred to as manufacturer encroachment (Tsay & Agrawal, 2009).…”

Manufacturer encroachment on a green supply chain with environmental labeling

This paper investigates manufacturer encroachment on a green supply chain wherein alternative environmental labels are utilized to disclose the hidden product greenness attribute. We show that both self‐ and government labels facilitate and adjust the promotion effect of encroachment on product greenness, stimulating green demand and retail prices for profitability improvement and raising wholesale prices for investment sharing. The difference is that self‐labeling's low credibility and complete self‐interest features only induce inferior greenness increments and coordination effects. Government labeling outperforms self‐labeling in simultaneously optimizing the interests of the manufacturer, retailer, and society, presuming the benefits of greenness improvement reimburse investments.
