“…As the overall scale of service industry continues to expand, we need to pay attention to the construction of logistics service brand. At present, the research on LSSCs mainly focuses on integration and coordination [40]. However, from the practical viewpoint, most enterprises do not fully understand LSSCs, how they affect logistics and how partnerships within LSSCs differ from those of supply chains [5,[41][42][43].…”

The overall scale of China’s logistics industry is growing rapidly, and the environment and conditions for its development are constantly improving, which lays a solid foundation for further accelerating the development of the logistics industry. However, logistics services are characterized by subordination, immediacy, demand volatility, and substitutability. Low-level integrated management of logistics services seriously hinders the development of the logistics service supply chain (LSSC) for sustainable performance. Many studies have been limited to the performance evaluation of LSSCs, and the factors affecting LSSC performance have generally been ignored. This study focuses on integrated LSSCs by using an integrator’s opportunistic behavior as the entry point of research and investigates the factors that affect the sustainability of LSSC performance. On the basis of relevant theories, a model for a hypothesis is constructed and eight hypotheses are subsequently proposed. Moreover, 271 survey responses from functional logistics service providers (research object) are utilized to develop a structural equation model for empirical research. Findings show that integrators with opportunistic behavior inhibit the information-sharing behavior of supply chain members. Consequently, the integration capability and agility of LSSCs are reduced, which affects the overall performance of LSSCs. The findings of this study can provide management insights into the behaviors of supply chain members and governments.

“…A recent paper by Chen et al [20] also analyzed the interactions between fairness concern and decisions, including pricing and service level in a dual-channel supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and two retailers. Also, Liu et al [21] investigated the impact of different fairness concerns on order allocation in the logistics service supply chain. Zhang et al [22] revealed the characteristics of price changes when fairness concern was categorized into unfavorable and favorable disutility, respectively.…”

“…For fairness concern, Cui et al [18] incorporated fairness concern into a conventional supply chain and considered its influence on channel coordination between a manufacturer and a retailer. Cui's model was then extended by Liu et al [21] to include a nonlinear demand. ey further devised a revenue-sharing contract to coordinate a twoechelon CLSC with both members' fairness concerns.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the joint effect of overconfidence and fairness concern on supply chain decisions and design contracts to achieve a win-win situation within the supply chain. For this study, a centralized supply chain model was established without considering the retailers’ overconfidence and fairness concern. Furthermore, the retailers’ overconfidence and fairness concerns were introduced into the decentralized supply chain, while the Stackelberg game model between the manufacturer and the retailer was built. Furthermore, an innovative supply chain contract, i.e., buyback contract, with promotional cost sharing was designed to achieve supply chain coordination along with overconfidence and fairness concern. Finally, a numerical analysis was also conducted to analyze the effect of overconfidence, fairness concern, and the validity of the contract. The principal findings of the study include the positive correlation between retailers’ overconfidence and optimal order quantity, sales effort, expected utility, and profit. Although the order quantity and sales efforts were not affected by the fairness concern of the retailer, the contract achieved coordination with a win-win outcome when the level of overconfidence and fairness concern was moderate.

“…Kirshner et al [34] explored the influence of reference effects on supply chains, including internal and external references. Liu et al [35] investigated the impacts of distributional fairness concerns and peer-induced fairness concerns by comparing the different models in which two FLSPs exhibit four combinations of fairness concerns. In addition, they further proposed incentive contracts to optimize decision-making during order allocation.…”

“…In addition, they further proposed incentive contracts to optimize decision-making during order allocation. In terms of fairness concerns, most scholars focus on the influences of the fairness concerns of decision-makers on channel conflicts and pricing, such as in [6,28,31,32,34,35]; only in [29] is the dual-channel discussed when considering fairness. In [30,33], the green manufacturing of products is discussed, and [33] also studied government subsidies.…”

This paper addresses the problem of green manufacturing decision making for a green dual-channel supply chain (SC). In the investigated SC, the manufacturer will decide whether to adopt green manufacturing under the influence of the retailer’s fairness concern-based dual-channel. Thus, we discuss two decision scenarios: the no green manufacturing strategy with retailer fairness (NM model), and green manufacturing with retailer fairness (GM model). Our study has several findings: Firstly, adopting a green manufacturing strategy is not always beneficial to supply-chain members when a retailer has fairness. In particular, when fairness is at a relatively high level, the manufacturer will not adopt green manufacturing. Secondly, under green manufacturing, the product’s green degree and subsidies have a positive impact on the price and demand and the members’ profit and utility. Besides, the subsidies and retailer fairness have a counter effect on the optimal decision. Thirdly, comparing the two scenarios (NM & GM), we found that the channel price of the GM model is lower than the NM model. Finally, from the perspective of the supply chain system, the system tends toward the manufacturer adopting green manufacturing and maintaining retailer fairness concerns at a lower level.
