Fairness Concern in Remanufacturing Supply Chain—A Comparative Analysis of Channel Members’ Fairness Preferences

Remanufacturing is a sustainable product reutilization strategy to realize responsible consumption and production. However, it has remained largely untapped opportunity for enhancing productivity due some behavioral matters such as fairness concerns of remanufacturing related firms. Concerning the emerging development industry, this paper provides game-theoretic analysis supply chain (RSC) consisting one leading manufacturer following retailer, with inclusion concern. We propose compare several scenarios channel members’ preferences as, both members are concerned, only member fair neutral, expound how concern affects RSC strategies resulting utilities. also demonstrate dynamic evolution stable state selections whether being concerned in long term. Analytical results show that favorable achieve desired objective relevant its preference improved performance or enhanced environmental benefit. Whatever is, however, detrimental be short In term, evolutionary indicate would choose concerned. The eventual status relies on initial preference. especially reference strategies, thus production sustainability well benefits.
