“…Their numerical results uncover that information updating can reduce the order quantity and increase the expected profit of the entire supply chain. Liu et al (2017) study fairness effects in the logistics service supply chain when there are one logistics service integrator (LSI) and multiple functional logistics service providers (FLSPs). They consider that both parties are traded by a revenue sharing contract.…”

Supply chain contracting and the use of information are undoubtedly two critical and influential areas in modern supply chain management. However, relatively little is known about supply chain contracting mechanisms with different information settings. To fill this gap, we review and classify the related supply chain contracting literature into three categories with respect to different kinds of information considerations, namely (i) demand information updating, (ii) supply information updating and (iii) information asymmetry. We report the publication trend and classify the commonly studied supply chain contracts with the use of information such as pricing contracts, commitment contracts and menu of contracts. We discuss how contracting and the use of information influence each other in the supply chain. Moreover, we review the major application areas of information usage and report the historical development of major related topics. Finally, we propose several important future research directions.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become the focus of the company’s daily operations and strategic choices. At present, the supply risk events caused by the CSR violations of service providers in the service supply chain are frequent, which highlight the importance of formulating appropriate contracts to constrain the CSR level of providers. In the context of asymmetric CSR cost information, this paper analyzes the optimal contract parameters of integrators when providing screening contracts or pooling contracts and compares their impact on profits and the CSR level. The information asymmetry belongs to classic principal-agent problem, and we will use the revelation principle to design the contracts and solve this problem. The results that different contracts have different effects on the CSR level of different types of providers. A low-cost provider’s CSR level is the highest when a screening contract is provided, while a high-cost provider’s CSR level reaches the peak under a pooling contract. If pursuing profit maximization, the integrator should choose to provide a screening contract. When the integrator needs to ensure a higher average level of social responsibility, a pooling contract should be chosen. The findings also show that service cost is an important factor affecting the CSR level of the provider, and only when the providers’ service cost is low, will providers actively fulfill their social responsibility.

“…Li and Li [ 27 ] analyze the impacts of value-added service provided by the retailer and the impacts of the retailer’s fairness concerns on pricing strategies. Liu et al [ 28 ] extends the study to model the order allocation with fairness concerns and to assume the demand information can be updated. Chen, Zhou and Zhong [ 29 ] investigate the effect of fairness concerns on financial supply chain with buyback guarantee and conduct the optimal solutions of pricing and ordering.…”

Sustainable green technology innovation is essential in all the stages of the supply chain development. The members of the supply chain in each stage need to invest in sustainable green technology innovation research and development. However, whether the sustainable green technology innovation investments and profits for all the members are fairness concerned is a critical factor to motivate the supply chain members. Motivated by a real business investigation, in this study, a supply chain model with one supplier and one manufacturer is analyzed. We consider fairness concerns for the supplier and the manufacturer with sustainable green technology innovation development. We derive the optimal results in both with and without fairness concern. The results indicate that fairness concerns can promote and coordinate the supply chain members without advantage inequity averseness, to invest more on their sustainable green technology innovation development.
