Using the price for recycling used home appliances as a variable in the decision-making process, this paper studies the pricing decision-making process of the home appliances enterprises when a wholesale and retail price for the green home appliances have already been determined by other methods. In consideration of the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to...

From the perspectives of the operational objectives of the green supply chain management and in consideration of its economic efficiency, social and environmental impact as well as its unique characteristics, this paper examines the pricing issues of the green supply chain for home appliances industry by using game theory and contract coordination theory. Considering the influences of the effec...

Introduction The use of microalgae-based bio-mitigation (AEN-116) suffers from a range of challenges primarily related to system complexity and scale-up issues that are driven more by economic constraints than technical limitations. It should be noted that only biological carbon capture and recycling has the potential to generate a revenue stream to offset, at least in part, the overall cost of...

Using the price for recycling used home appliances as a variable in the decision-making process, this paper studies the pricing decision-making process of the home appliances enterprises when a wholesale and retail price for the green home appliances have already been determined in advance. Considering the influences of the effective recycle behavior of the used home appliances to the whole sup...

This paper studies a supply chain coordinated by a revenue-sharing contract in fuzzy environment. Two kinds of fuzzy programming models are discussed: revenue-sharing contract with fuzzy linear demand model and fuzzy iso-price-elastic demand model. Supply chain coordination in both centralized decision setting and centralized decision setting are achieved by obtaining the optimal solutions in t...

The supply chain coordinating role of revenue-sharing has, to date, been examined only in static models. With downstream competition, the central conclusion in these models is negative: revenue-sharing cannot, except in degenerate form, achieve coordination. Incorporating dynamics, by allowing inventory carryover in discrete time, this paper establishes a foundation for revenue-sharing contract...

We study how interactions between financing and investment decisions can shape firm boundaries in innovative markets. In particular, we model innovative projects as growth options and ask whether they are best operated inside large incumbent firms (Integration) or in separate, specialized firms (Non-Integration). Starting from a standard theoretical framework, in which value-maximizing corporat...

The parametric cost estimation approach has proved to be an efficient method for analyzing complex systems such as spacecraft, missiles, ships, buildings, etc where cost varies according to a number of parameters. The cost to provision a telecom network also depends on a number of parameters; but little research effort has been applied to estimate cost using this approach. In estimating the cos...

In this paper we survey a number of different social software websites and analyze their revenue models. The main revenue models that we analyzed included advertising, premium memberships, affiliate programs, donations and merchandize sale. The survey will categorize different social software based upon the revenue model being adopted. The main aim of this paper is to highlight the need for stu...
