“…It is expressed, for example, that it became possible to reduce disposal costs by creating programs using reusable containers when working with suppliers to implement the so-called initiative “zero waste,” which allows companies to save different types of raw materials, fuel and other resources. Through programs for renewable energy, companies are able to reduce energy consumption by 30% quickly (Iqbal et al , 2020).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify the barriers to the adoption of blockchain technology in green supply chain management (GSCM) and further analyze the cause and effect relationship to prioritize the barriers for making strategic decisions. Design/methodology/approach The study examines 15 potential barriers related to the adoption of blockchain in GSCM which is identified from the literature review and finalized after subsequent discussions with industry professionals. Integrated Fuzzy-Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory approach is used to analyze cause and effect relationships and prioritize the barriers. Fuzzy set theory is used to handle the uncertainty and vagueness associated with the personnel biases and data deficiency problems. Three small to medium enterprises’ (SMEs’) are considered for gathering data and further analyzing the crucial barriers that are impeding the adoption of blockchain technology in GSCM. Findings The findings reveal that “lack of management vision” and “cultural differences among supply chain partners” are the most influencing barriers, whereas; “collaboration challenges” and “hesitation and workforce obsolescence” are the most influential barriers in the adoption of blockchain in GSCM. Research limitations/implications The study is developed based on 15 selected barriers which were further tested using data from three SMEs’ in the emerging economy of India. The adoption of blockchain technology in GSCM is at a nascent stage and more research studies are necessary to extend the knowledge base. Practical implications Managers need to eliminate the barriers and extend the blockchain technology application in GSCM. Managers need to develop the mission and vision of the company by doing proper alignment of blockchain technology with GSCM goals. Second, managers need to make strong collaborations and remove the hesitation and workforce obsolescence barrier by providing the right education and pieces of training. Originality/value Blockchain technology in GSCM is in a nascent stage. This study extends the knowledge base by identifying and further prioritizing the leading blockchain barriers that need to be overcome for effectively adopting blockchain in GSCM.

“…Therefore, future research direction can incorporate other influencing factors such as stock level (see [20,31]) and advertisement policy (see [24]). In addition, further studies can incorporate the effect of wastes disposal (see [15]) or greenhouse gas emissions from its disposal (see [13]).…”

Joint pricing deteriorating inventory model considering product life cycle and advance payment with a discount facility

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The product life cycle of a deteriorating product is an important consideration in inventory management. This paper simultaneously investigates the optimum pricing and inventory decisions considering product life cycles under price-dependent demand and advance payment systems with a discount facility. A time-dependent holding cost is also introduced. The objective is to carefully balance the critical decision variables in order to maximize the total profit. Furthermore, the theoretical analysis validates the concavity of the profit function. A numerical example and sensitivity analysis are provided to show the characteristics of the model. The study shows that an advanced payment period, installment numbers, product’s maximum life cycle, purchasing cost and demand function significantly influence the total profit. This inventory model with a known product lifetime and advance payments can provide management insights to inventory manager in his/her strategic planning.

“…In addition, the conservation of resources, reduction of waste, and minimization of energy consumption are the main objectives of the green supply chain at present. Iqbal et al [13] derived the most suitable model for minimizing waste in the production of primary and secondary products, as well as reverse logistics-when a manufacturer uses raw materials to produce new products in the first stage, and the new products are produced by recycling old products in the second stage. Wei et al [14] analyzed the optimal green investment, price, and discount of products, in addition to exploring which participants should collect the old products.…”

Green Supply Chain Management with Cooperative Promotion

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Green supply chain management has received increasing attention as consumers have become more environmentally conscious. Manufacturers are making green investments to meet consumers’ demands, while retailers in different markets often engage in cooperative promotion to attract more consumers. This study develops game theoretic models for investigating cooperative promotion for two cross-market firms with different channel structures, i.e., decentralized and centralized. The manufacturer determines the wholesale price for the retailers and the green investment of a product, and the retailers determine the promotional effort and retail price. This study finds that whether the firms join in cooperative promotion mainly depends on the wholesale price, as well as the impacts of the price, green investment, and cooperative promotional activities on the demand. When the wholesale price is relatively low, the retail price of the decentralized green supply chain must be lower than that of the centralized green supply chain. On the contrary, the difference in the retail price between the two green supply chains varies with the impacts of green investment and cooperative promotional activities on demand. In addition, due to the influence of channel structure, the contribution to cooperative promotion of the centralized supply chain is more than that of the decentralized supply chain with the most given conditions. Moreover, as the impact of cooperative promotional activities on demand increases, the centralized green supply chain does not necessarily result in higher profits than the decentralized green supply chain.
