“…Liu et al [9] find that the manufacturer should set the same online sale prices and wholesale prices in the decentralized dual-channel supply chain; meanwhile, its online pricing influences the retailers' pricing. Other aspects, e.g., channel strategy [10,11], sales effort [12,13], and service effort [14,15], are also stud-ied. The concept of new retail in our paper focuses on the cooperation and competition of online and offline channels.…”

The new retail focuses on the high integration between online and offline channels. The main problems faced by the development of the new retail are the interest balance of all decision subjects, the pricing strategy, and the coordination of online and offline channels. This paper considers the effect of the new retail firms’ delivery time and establishes a two-part tariff contract to study the decision-making and coordination of the new retail fresh products supply chain. This paper constructs cooperative and non-cooperative models and employs the cooperative model as the benchmark case to realize the coordination. It is found that when the delivery time has little effect on the market demand, the offline store often should pay more fixed charges to the new retail firm. With the increased impact of delivery time on market demand, the fixed charges paid by the offline store become smaller. Under the coordination decision model, the offline store pays fixed charges to compensate for the new retail firm’s early delivery costs, but its interests still increase compared with the decentralized decision model. This study models the time-dependent demand for fresh products and proposes an incentive mechanism to coordinate the new retail fresh products’ supply chain; further, it demonstrates that the prices can be significantly decreased with the designed contract, and all the supply chain members can benefit from Pareto improvement.

“…However, few studies consider other roles as supply chain decision makers. Chen et al [29] focused on pricing and service issues in a dual-channel supply chain dominated by publishers. Li et al [30] focused on the option pricing and coordination mechanism in a supplier-dominated festival food supply chain.…”

In e-commerce transactions, the packaging level of porcelain, to a certain extent, determines the loss rate of goods in the transportation process. Therefore, encouraging decisionmakers to improve the packaging level is key to coordinating the supply chain of porcelain. Considering consumers’ preferences for packaging level, this paper constructs three kinds of porcelain supply chain decision-making models, including the impact of the packaging level on porcelain transport losses and after-sales problems caused by transport losses. Using Stackelberg game knowledge, the equilibrium decision and supply chain profit under three decision models are compared and analyzed. The main findings are as follows: the decision and profit are better in the centralized decision-making mode. In the decentralized decision-making model, the profit of the leader is higher than that of the follower. Consumers’ preferences for porcelain packaging and the value coefficient of packaging protection have a positive effect on the improvement of supply chain profits and the level of porcelain packaging. In addition, in view of the decentralized decision-making model led by suppliers, this paper introduces a joint contract to encourage the members of the supply chain to improve the packaging level of porcelain and achieve the perfect coordination of the supply chain.

Government carbon policies and consumers’ preferences are forcing companies to reduce their carbon emissions. Due to financial and technical constraints, carbon-dependent manufacturers are seeking embedded services from energy service companies. By considering these government carbon policies and consumer preferences, this paper constructs a revenue-sharing contract and a two-part contract model for an embedded low-carbon service supply chain using the Stackelberg game to investigate the contractual coordination between the manufacturer and energy service company and their optimal decision making. The equilibrium decisions and the selection of contracts in the supply chain with different parameter levels were obtained. The model’s validity was verified through numerical simulation analysis, and the impacts of the main parameters on the equilibrium decisions and expected utility for the supply chain were analyzed. The results showed that both contracts would enable manufacturers and low-carbon service providers to achieve profit maximization goals when the parameters meet certain constraints. Changes in consumers’ low-carbon and low-price preferences can cause manufacturers to change their business strategies. In addition, the level of technology of ESCOs affects the selection of the type of contract between manufacturers and energy service companies. The findings described in this paper can provide management insights for manufacturers regarding carbon reduction in practice.
