We study the effect of downstream competition on incentives for demand forecast investments in supply chains. We show that with common pricing schemes, such as wholesale price or two-part tariffs, downstream firms under Cournot competition overinvest in demand forecasting. Analyzing the determinants of overinvestment, we demonstrate that under wholesale price contracts and two-part tariffs, tot...

Overconfidence is a prevalent and potentially catastrophic behaviour in judgment decision-making. In this paper, we define manufacturers’ overconfidence as belief bias that they overestimate the impact of product greenness on demand accuracy uncertainty. We build game theory model based overconfident beliefs, address decisions price, discuss supply chain profits. For adverse effects brought by ...

Abstract—The need for holistic modeling efforts that satisfy the increasing supply chain enterprise at a strategic level has been clearly recognized by industry first and by academia recently. In order to increase the profitability of the entire chain, strategic decision-makers need comprehensive models to guide them to make efficient decision. The determination of optimal network configuration...

Current research on smart contracts focuses technical, conceptual, and legal aspects but neglects organizational requirements sustainability impacts. We consider this a significant gap explore the relationship between in supply chains. First, we define concept of terms chain management. Then, conduct content analysis literature to overlapping fields Next, develop semi-structured assessment fram...

This paper contributes to the supply chain contracts literature in economics and operations by performing qualitative sensitivity analysis of a wholesale price contract in a two-echelon supply chain setting. Ordertheory tools are used to derive sufficient conditions for monotonicity of contract parameters. The upstream supplier is modeled as a Stackelberg leader. The supplier is assumed to have...
