In this paper, we examine a real-world case related to the consumer product supply chain to analyze the value of supply chain coordination under the condition of moral hazard. Because of the characteristics of a buyback contract scheme employed in the supply chain, the supplier company's sales department encourages retailers to order more inventory to meet their sales target, whereas retailers ...

Supply chains are often in an environment where the demand is affected by the retailer’s sales effort and the supplier has no accurate information about the retailer’s cost.
