“…The E-CLSCN model is constructed by using variational inequalities, and the sensitivity analysis is carried out by numerical examples. The conclusions of this paper are similar to the study of Zhao et al [12], that is, consumers' preference for products can effectively promote the profits of the corresponding node enterprises. However, this paper considers complex dynamic and static problems, so the results of this paper are more abundant than the study of Zhao et al [12].…”

“…The study of this paper from a dynamic and static perspective is more in line with the actual situation. Thirdly, the consumers' preference for products [2,15,16,[30][31][32][33], e-channel [11,12,14,34], the behavior of corporate promotion under the e-channel [19,20,[35][36][37][38], CLSCN [9,23,[44][45][46][47][48], are explored and then the above questions are combined to be studied, which has not yet been explored. Finally, inspired by the research of Seuring et al [40] and Shashi et al [41,42], the sustainable thinking is included in this paper, that is, considering the e-channel can effectively reduce the impact of the middlemen's behavior on the environment, and study the problem the E-CLSCN equilibrium.…”

“…Remanufacturing is the future industry which serves In the CLSCN, manufactures (remanufactures) sell NP (RP) through some special channels, mainly including traditional retail-channel and e-channel (B2C) [11]. With the rapid development of network technology, e-channel is attracting an increasing number of attention from enterprises and consumers [12,13]. According to the online retailer report (www.alibaba.com), as shown in Figure 2, the rapid development of the retail industry of e-channel sales has far exceeded the total retail sales.…”

Multi-Period E-Closed-Loop Supply Chain Network Considering Consumers’ Preference for Products and AI-Push

The remanufacturing industry plays a significant role to improve the utilization of resources and contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development. E-commerce channel (e-channel) has become an important retail channel. The multi-period closed-loop supply chain network of electronic channels (E-CLSCN) is studied. Moreover, this study considers the influence of consumers’ preference for products and artificial intelligence push (AI-push) on network balance under the conditions of dynamic and static. The network consists of manufacturers, remanufacturers, and demand markets. Remanufacturers are responsible for collecting and remanufacturing. The multi-period E-CLSCN model is established through variational inequalities. The study finds that whether dynamic or static, consumers’ preference for new products (NP) has positively correlated with the profits of manufacturers and the whole E-CLSCN. Consumers’ preference for remanufacturer products (RP) has only positively correlated with the profits of remanufactures. In the aspect of AI-push, the manufacturers’ AI-push has positively correlated with the profits of the entire players of E-CLSCN, while the remanufacturers’ AI-push has only positively correlated with the profits of the remanufacturers. Also, considering the multi-period, the sensitivity of the demand markets for the investment of manufacturers’ and remanufacturers’ AI-push gradually reduces, and the marginal benefit of AI-push gradually decreases. Finally, this paper addresses interesting managerial insights from the perspective of government and enterprises. Under the dual objectives of environmental protection and economic interests of enterprises, this study provides a reference for governments and enterprises to develop relevant dynamic policies. Namely, the government formulates dynamic environmental protection measures, and enterprises formulate dynamic strategic plans and implement government policies. While promoting the management level of E-CLSCN, it effectively boosts the development of the remanufacturing industry and recycling sustainable economy.

The reduction of fresh agricultural product volume loss throughout the supply chain system is of high importance due to their perishable nature and impact on society, the economy, and environment. In this paper, three models for two-stage pricing, coordination, and volume loss reduction of the supply chain where third-party logistics service providers and retailers act as a Stackelberg leader and a follower for fresh agricultural products are developed, taking into account both volume loss during transport and quality loss in retail in the presence of strategic consumers. The following results are drawn from the contract for sharing revenues and service costs: (1) The supply chain achieve coordination and the products are healthier for consumers; (2) the coordination leads to a reduction in the three types of volume losses simultaneously only if the lowest marginal costs of the supply chain occur under certain conditions; and (3) the increase in the service sensitivity coefficient, the increase in the freshness discount coefficient under certain conditions, the decrease in the consumer benefit discount coefficient under certain conditions, and the decrease in the price sensitivity coefficient lead to an increase in the profit of the supply chain and a reduction in the three types of volume losses.

“…Moreover, some scholars also studied specific agri-food supply chains, including oranges, vegetable, cheese, fish, and dairy [15][16][17][18][19]. Given the special structure of agri-food supply chain, some other studies examined the optimal decisions of participants, such as "farmer and supermarket" [20], "farmer and company" [21], and "farm and consumers" [22]. In terms of research methods, Siddh et al [23] found that most of the current research focusing on the quality problems of fresh agricultural products was in the form of case studies and statistical analyses.…”

The quality of agri-foods in e-supply chains confronts more threats than that in the traditional agri-food supply chain. However, most of the existing studies focusing on the quality problems of fresh agri-products are mainly cases studies and statistical analyses, and they do not take into account the farmers’ willingness to comply with safe agri-food supply procedures. To solve the supply quality problems of fresh agri-foods and help participators make a better choice, the decision-making behavior on the supply quality of agri-foods in the e-supply chain was deeply studied in this paper using game theory. Some factors related to the decision behavior of the supply chain were analyzed, including the supervision intension of the government, the rights protection consciousness of consumers, and the intensity of punishment for poor-quality agri-foods. These factors have an important influence on the farmers’ willingness to provide high-quality products and e-business’ probability of inspection. Compared with three different decision models of agri-food e-supply chains, the results show that the decentralized decision model is better than the centralized model from the view of quality protection. The behavior of members of the supply chain is as follows: the farmers’ willingness to supply high-quality agri-foods increases with the increase in the consumers’ consciousness of their rights and the government’s supervision intensity. The “experience deviation” phenomenon also occurs when a new e-business makes a decision about its quality inspection behavior in this e-supply chain where the quality information is traceable. As such, e-business enterprises should reduce their quality inspection behavior based on the increase in the government’s supervision intensity. This happens to be opposite to the traditional experience where quality information is not traceable. This study not only extends the research framework of the novel electronic supply chain, but also provides a certain reference for the subsequent research and e-business practices of fresh produce in developing countries.
