A game theoretic approach to pricing, advertising and collection decisions’ adjustment in a closed-loop supply chain

چکیده
This paper considers advertising, collection and pricing decisions simultaneously for a closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) with one manufacturer (he) and two retailers (she). A multiplicatively separable new demand function is proposed which influenced by pricing and advertising. In this paper, three well-known scenarios in the game theory including the Nash, Stackelberg and Cooperative games are exploited to study the effects of pricing, advertising and collection decisions on the CLSC. Using these scenarios, we identify optimal decisions in each case for the manufacture and retailers. Extending the Manufacturer-Stackelberg scenario, we introduce the manufacturer’s risk-averse behavior in a leader–follower type move under asymmetric information, focusing specifically on how the riskaverse behavior of the manufacturer influences all of the optimal decisions and construct manufacturer-Stackelberg games in which each retailer has more information regarding the market size than the manufacturer and another retailer. Under the mean–variance decision framework, we develop a closed-loop supply chain model and obtain the optimal equilibrium results. In the situation of the stackelberg game, we find that whether utility of the manufacturer is better off or worse off depends on the manufacturer’s return rate and the degree of risk aversion under asymmetric and symmetric information structures. Numerical experiments compare the outcomes of decisions and profits among the mentioned games in order to study the application of the models.

متن کاملA Game Theoretic Approach for Greening, Pricing, And Advertising Policies in A Green Supply Chain
In this paper, greening, pricing, and advertising policies in a supply chain will be examined with government intervention. The supply chain has two members. First, a manufacturer seeking to determine the wholesale price and the greening level and second, a retailer that has to determine the advertising cost and the retail price. The government is trying to encourage the manufacturer to green t...
متن کاملGame-Theoretic Approach for Pricing Decisions in Dual-Channel Supply Chain
In the current study, a dual-channel supply chain is considered containing one manufacturer and two retailers. It is assumed that the manufacturer and retailers have the same decision powers. A game-theoretic approach is developed to analyze pricing decisions under the centralized and decentralized scenarios. First, the Nash model is established to obtain the equilibrium decisions in the decent...

This paper considers the advertising, pricing, and service decisions simultaneously to coordinate the supply chain with a manufacturer and a retailer. The amount of market demand is influenced by advertising, pricing and service decisions. In this paper, three well-known approaches to the game theory, including the Nash, the Stackelberg-retailer, and the cooperative game are exploited to study ...
متن کاملOptimized Pricing Decisions In a Multi-Level Supply Chain With Various Power and Channel Structures: A Game-Theoretic Approach
This article studies the optimization of pricing decisions in a supply chain with different channels under different power structure. Three different channel will be considered here; these include: the decentralized, the semi-integrated, and the integrated channel. There are two types of power balance structures for both the decentralized and the semi-integrated channels. The first type is a le...
