We set up a two level supply chain model which consists of one manufacturer and two retailers in this paper. Necessities as the main research object, we develop the nonlinear demand function of products which is more related to the reality. In order to increase the performance of whole supply chain in the decentralized decision, we introduce revenue sharing mechanism in this paper. Through nume...

The manufacturing costs, sales costs, and ma...

As the two most important nodes in tourism supply chain, competition, as well cooperation relationship between scenic spots and enterprises, has a profound impact on healthy development of industry. In this paper, we establish dual-channel chain model by making many assumptions about operations enterprises. According to repeated game theory, find that there is certain trigger strategy for equil...

Supply chains for perishable items consist of products with a fixed shelf life and limited production/collection; managing them requires competent decision-making. With the objective of placing the learners in the position of decision-makers, we propose the Blood Supply Chain Game which simulates the supply chain of blood units from donors to patients based on a real case study modelling the UK...

the need for high-quality medical equipment in the hospital supply chain has more than ever demonstrated the necessity and importance of quality management to be implemented by administrators in line with the iranian health reform plan. in this study, the game theory was used to model the strategies chosen by companies supplying medical equipment to hospitals. considering the process of self-le...

This paper investigates supply chain coordination with side-payment contracts. We …rst summarize speci…c side-payment contracts and present our review on the literature that developed general sidepayment schemes to coordinate supply chains. Following our review, we discuss two criteria that a proper side-payment contract must satisfy, and accordingly introduce a decision-dependent transfer paym...

We consider a supply chain with a single supplier and two retailers. The retailers choose their orders strategically, and if their orders exceed the supplier's capacity, quantities are allocated proportionally to the orders. We experimentally study the capacity allocation game using subjects motivated by financial incentives. We find that the Nash equilibrium, which assumes that players are per...

In this paper, we develop a supply chain game theory framework consisting of retailers and consumers who engage in electronic transactions via the Internet and, hence, may be susceptible to cyberattacks. The retailers compete noncooperatively in order to maximize their expected profits by determining their optimal product transactions as well as cybersecurity investments in the presence of netw...

In a decentralized supply chain, supplier-buyer negotiations have a dynamic aspect that requires both players to consider the impact of their decisions on future decisions made by their counterpart. The interaction generally couples strongly the price decision of the supplier and the quantity decision of the buyer. As a result, the outcome of the negotiation may not have an equilibrium. We prop...

This study proposes a novel option-revenue sharing coordination contract framework. In the proposed model, the retailer determines the number of order sales effort. The manufacturer sets the price of products for the wholesale strategy. The investigated supply chain problem analyzes the results of different strategies. In the proposed coordination contract problem, two types of games including ...
