“…These behavioral preferences have a wide-ranging impact on social and economic activities. Ge et al [23] analyzed the impact of altruistic preferences on decentralized and concentrated supply chain performance. Liu et al [24] Considering carbon tax regulation and consumers’ low-carbon preference, found that the manufacturer’s and the retailer’s fairness concerns decrease their product sustainability and low-carbon promotion level, together with the profits of the system and the manufacturer.…”

With the development of the economy and science technology, global resource shortages and environmental pressures have become the focus of attention. More and more consumers tend to buy non-polluting and environmentally friendly green products, and many manufacturers and retailers are beginning to produce or sell green products to enhance their competitive advantage in the market. Considering the green preference attributes of consumers, the altruistic preference is introduced into the supply chain, and we establish four models: two cooperative manufacturers and one retailer are completely self-interested, one retailer has altruistic preference, two cooperative manufacturers have altruistic preferences, and two cooperative manufacturers and one retailer have altruistic preferences. We address the optimal greenness and pricing decisions of supply chain members, and analyze the impact of altruistic preferences on supply chain decision-making and profits. The results show that the altruistic preference coefficient can significantly affect the decision-making and the profits of supply chain members, and when two manufacturers and one retailer consider altruistic preferences, the altruistic preference coefficients adopted by the three parties are in the certain ranges, the supply chain members’ altruistic preference coefficients can increase the whole supply chain profit. Through analysis, in the three cases where the retailer has altruistic preferences, two manufacturers have altruistic preferences, and two manufacturers and one retailer have altruistic preferences, two manufacturers should adopt higher altruistic preference coefficients, and the retailer should adopt a lower altruistic preference coefficient, and the product greenness under the three altruistic preferences is higher than the product greenness when there is no altruistic preference.

“…And Andreoni and Miller (2002) further confirmed the rationality of altruism, which can be understand sufficiently by an economic model. Nowadays, most researches concerning altruistic preferences have focused on the many fields, such as supply chain (Ge & Hu, 2012), behavioural decision-making (Nandavar et al, 2019) and the carbon market (Salas & Roe, 2012) etc. For instance, Ge and Hu (2012) interpreted firms' cooperative incentive as their altruism, and pointed out that a manufacturer with altruistic liability would benefit both the supply chain and the retailers.…”

“…Although the original motive of economic philanthropy is self-interests rather than altruism, the practical results show that this kind of non-subjective altruism has achieved a win-win situation between enterprises and recipients (Ge & Hu, 2012). Compared with the profitable projects using other schemes, the investment return of PPP projects is typically lower.…”

Nowadays, the public-private partnership (PPP) scheme has been widely adopted in infrastructure projects around the world. In PPP projects, the governments participate as a principal and the investors play the role of an agent, and therefore their behaviours and incentive strategies can be explained and designed by the principal-agent theory. As “economic men” with limited rationality, both the governments and the investors have altruistic preferences during cooperation. This paper studies how project participants’ altruistic preferences affect government subsidies based on the principal-agent theory. To this end, a principal-agent model in the presence of altruism is developed. The results show that the amount of government compensation is related to the altruistic preferences, the expected revenue, costs and investors’ efforts. Contrary to intuition, the governments’ altruism actually undermines the investors’ enthusiasm in cooperation and the risk-sharing propensity, although it increases the utilities of both parties. Moreover, when selecting the investors, governments should examine their operating capacity carefully, which has a significant impact on the sustainable development of the projects and even PPP arrangements. The findings contribute new insights into the development of incentive mechanisms between governments and private investors from the perspective of the behavioural preferences.

“…Padula et Dagnino (2007) décrivent ainsi clairement la coopétition comme une intrusion de la compétition dans le jeu coopératif, et ils en tirent la conclusion que les déterminants de cette intrusion constituent la principale thématique de recherche à explorer. En d'autres termes, la coopétition est un état méta-stable du système, d'ailleurs confirmé par l'existence d'intérêts partiellement convergents entre les joueurs, qui génère un déséquilibre au sein d'un mode relationnel de type coopératif ; un tel déséquilibre peut être constructif dès l'instant où il fait progresser le système vers plus de performance globale et/ou individuelle (chacun des joueurs), voire favorise le déve-loppement de comportements altruistes, notamment au sein des chaînes logistiques (Ge et Hu, 2012).…”

L'irruption de la notion de réseau en sciences de gestion révèle, depuis près de 25 ans, que des entreprises peuvent créer collectivement de la valeur, c'est-à-dire en « faisant ensemble », tout en dépassant l'alternative originelle « marché vs hiérarchie » fondée sur la notion de frontières de l'organisation. Le rapprochement de diverses entreprises autour d'un projet commun, dont la mise en tension des flux conditionne la réussite, a fait émerger de nouveaux besoins et de nouveaux métiers, au premier rang desquels celui de prestataire de services logistiques (PSL). Tout au long des chaînes logistiques multi-acteurs, ces derniers se positionnent comme de véritables pilotes aux interfaces. La réflexion s'attache ici à caractériser et à analyser ce phénomène à partir d'une revue de la littérature et d'exemples récents.
