“…There is extensive literature on operations management in the FPSC, mainly focusing on sales mode (Chen et al, 2023; Yang & Tang, 2019), sales promotions (Wu & Honhon, 2023), food waste (Belavina, 2021; Hezarkhani et al, 2023), stock management (Feng et al, 2022), blockchain‐based system (Liu, Hua, et al, 2022; Wu, Fan, & Cao, 2021; Zhao & Li, 2023), and logistics industry (Liu et al, 2023; Zhang et al, 2023). On the modeling side, many researchers capture the perishable feature of fresh products.…”

In recent years, many fresh e‐tailers have introduced private brands (PBs). The introduction of PBs will increase product competition and incur fixed fee for e‐tailers; thus, e‐tailers need to consider whether to introduce PBs and where do they source their fresh products. To address these challenges, this paper develops theoretical models. The results show that introducing PB benefits e‐tailers if the construction fee of the PBs is relatively low. Interestingly, national brand (NB) suppliers have an incentive to negotiate with e‐tailers to order PB products from them. Moreover, the willingness to introduce PBs is influenced by the power structure.

“…This quadratic cost of promotion has been widely used in the current literature. Specifically, it has been utilized by Ma et al (2013) to demonstrate quality and marketing efforts' cost, Hezarkhani et al (2023) for producing cost, and Liu et al (2021) for product freshness preserving cost. Therefore, the profit functions of the supply chain participants and the whole supply chain are as follows.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare the pricing decisions and earning potential of the software supplier and the smart device manufacturer in different software promotion strategies.Design/methodology/approachBased on game theory, the authors formulate two promotion models, that is, the supplier implements software promotion activities individually (SP model) or outsources the promotion activity to the manufacturer under profit-sharing contract (MP model) when taking different channel power structures into consideration. Besides, in order to test the robustness of the conclusions, the authors also extend the basic model to the following situations: (1) the customers have different price elasticity toward service fee and product price; (2) the revenue sharing contract is employed by the supply chain members; and (3) the manufacturer's product promotion practice is taken into consideration.FindingsThe optimal service fee (product price) of the supplier (manufacturer) under SP model is always lower (higher) than that under MP model. Surprisingly, if the supplier is the channel leader and the profit sharing ratio exceeds certain threshold, the manufacturer's profit decreases in profit sharing ratio, which remains robust in three extension models. Moreover, the supply chain's profit in supplier-led game is always lower than that in Nash game irrespective of the promotion strategy in profit sharing context. When revenue sharing contract is adopted, the result holds only when the revenue sharing ratio is relatively low.Originality/valueThe authors originally explore two promotion strategies of the software supplier when taking the channel power structures into considerations, which has not been explored in the literature to the best of the authors' knowledge.

“…Another stream of research related to our paper focuses on chain-to-chain competition, and most studies have investigated channel structures, production outsourcing, information sharing, price and quality competition, extended warranties, and demand uncertainty [38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. Ha et al [39] consider information sharing under the chain-to-chain competition and find that information sharing may benefit or hurt one of the two supply chains.…”

Remanufacturing and Product Recovery Strategies Considering Chain-to-Chain Competition and Power Structures

In addition to its economic potential and environmental significance, remanufacturing shows strategic importance in competition. Product recovery, a fundamental part of the remanufacturing system, should be aligned with the competition between supply chains. Moreover, the power structure of the supply chain influences interactive decisions. In this study, we investigate how supply chain competition and power structure influence product recovery strategies. We model the problem in two competing supply chains, where the manufacturers sell products through the respective retailers. Either manufacturer can choose between two product recovery strategies: collecting the used products for remanufacturing directly (that is, direct recovery) or assigning the task of product recovery to the retailer (indirect recovery). In addition, we conduct full-blown exploration of the impact of power structures, including Stackelberg-Manufacturer as the leader, Stackelberg-Retailer as the leader, and vertical Nash. The results reveal the joint inter- and intra-channel implications of the product recovery strategies.
