Considering the peculiarities of logistics in the electronic commerce (e-commerce) supply chain (ESC) and e-commerce platform’s altruistic preferences, a model including an e-commerce platform, third-party logistics service provider, and manufacturer is constructed. Based on this, three decision models are proposed and equilibrium solutions are obtained by the Stackelberg game. Then, an “altruistic preference joint fixed-cost” contract is proposed to maximize system efficiency. Finally, numerical analysis is used to validate the findings of the paper. The article not only analyzes and compares the optimal decisions under different ESC models, but also explores the intrinsic factors affecting the decisions. This paper finds that the conclusions of dual-channel supply chains or traditional supply chains do not necessarily apply to ESC, and that the effect of altruistic behavior under ESC is influenced by consumer preferences. Moreover, there is a multiparty win–win state for ESC, and this state can be achieved through the “altruistic preference joint fixed-cost” contract. Therefore, the findings of this paper contribute to the development of an e-commerce market and the cooperation of ESC members.

PurposeThis study explores the influencing factors affecting smart supply chain innovation (SSCI) performance of commodity distribution enterprises, and proposes the corresponding framework from the perspective of the application of technology to improve the SSCI performance and make up the research gap in this field.Design/methodology/approachA multi-case study method is adopted in this study. Four distribution commodity distribution enterprises A, B, C and D in China are chosen as case enterprises. The interviews with senior management team members are used to collect data. The combination of open coding and axial coding are used to process the data. By testing the reliability and validity, the theoretical framework is summarized.FindingsFirst, we find that the technology application cost inhibits SSCI and that the level of technology suitable for enterprise development will promote SSCI. Second, SSCI in structure, management and services can improve the performance and innovation ability of enterprises. Third, the quality of multi-channel integration and degree of customization around customer demand can significantly modify the above effects.Originality/valueCompared with previous studies, this study reveals for the first time the correlation between the SSCI performance and technology application, SSCI in structure, management and service, providing new ideas for relevant researches on SSCI, and providing new theoretical support for managers' decision-making related to SSCI.

Speed Up

One way that can be done to speed up the duration of the project is to use precast concrete slabs. However, the use of precast concrete slab elements in the project can be ineffective if in the order stage, production stage, until the delivery stage of precast concrete elements to the project site is not managed properly, which can cause delays in project duration. Therefore, the use of precast concrete slabs is very dependent on the supply chain management. To anticipate this risk, it is necessary to identify what are the dominant factors in the supply chain that affect the procurement of precast concrete slabs which can cause delays in project duration. The initial influence factors were collected through a literature study and interviews with a number of practitioners, followed by a survey using a questionnaire to a number of project actors in projects using precast concrete slabs. The Likert scale 1-5 is used to measure the level of influence of a factor identified on project delays. By using factor analysis techniques, as many as three groups of dominant supply chain factors affecting the procurement of precast concrete slabs were found, namely special factors, technical factors, and human error factors.ABSTRAKSalah satu cara yang dapat dilakukan demi mempercepat durasi proyek adalah menggunakan pelat beton pracetak. Namun, penggunaan elemen pelat beton pracetak di proyek bisa tidak efektif apabila dalam tahap pemesanan, tahap produksi, hingga tahap pengiriman elemen beton pracetak ke lokasi proyek tidak dikelola dengan baik, sehingga dapat menyebabkan keterlambatan durasi proyek. Oleh sebab itu, penggunaan pelat beton pracetak sangat bergantung pada manajemen rantai pasokannya. Untuk mengantisipasi risiko tersebut, perlu adanya identifikasi mengenai faktor dominan apa saja pada rantai pasok yang mempengaruhi pengadaan pelat beton pracetak yang dapat menyebabkan keterlambatan durasi proyek. Faktor pengaruh awal dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur dan wawancara kepada sejumlah praktisi, dilanjutkan dengan survei menggunakan kuesioner kepada sejumlah pelaku proyek di proyek yang menggunakan pelat beton pracetak. Skala Likert 1-5 digunakan untuk mengukur tingkat pengaruh suatu faktor yang diidentifikasi terhadap keterlambatan proyek. Dengan menggunakan teknik analisis faktor, sebanyak tiga kelompok faktor dominan rantai pasok yang berpengaruh pada proses pengadaan pelat beton pracetak ditemukan, yaitu faktor khusus, faktor teknis, dan faktor human error.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to facilitate the successful adoption of traceability technologies, such as blockchain, into food supply chains and facilitate the understanding of the barriers and enablers to their uptake by channel members' needs so that appropriate enabling strategy can be put in place.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, an integrated framework involving five components was used as the methodology: (1) diffusion of innovation theory, (2) the innovation concept, (3) the business structure-conduct-performance paradigm, (4) legitimacy and (5) trust was developed and assessed for validity through interviewing 21 channel members, including distributors, wholesalers, Internet retailers and traditional retailers associated with a global fresh produce company's supply chain in China.FindingsBarriers negatively framing channel members' attitudes and decisions included a perceived lack of need owing to fresh produce having a short shelf life and being of low value and risk. However, the importance of traceability and the need for effective food recalls were not always understood among channel members, and distributed trust innovations were also suppressed by their lack of compatibility with the Chinese hierarchical culture.Originality/valueTo date, channel members' perception of innovations in food supply chains has not been considered in light of the components proposed in the integrated framework. The adapted framework used in this study ensured a comprehensive assessment of channel members' attitude and motivations toward traceability practices.

Simple Additive Weighting

Nowadays along with the rapid development of industrialization across the globe, the environmental and ecological impacts of products have become a serious issue. Taking into account purely the economic impacts of industrial decisions, and excluding their ecological impacts, make the human beings and animals more at risk to many threats such as global warming, ozone layer depletion, toxic environments, and natural resources depletion. To minimize the environmental effect, implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM) is much more essential for industries in the environmental and social point of view. The purpose of this chapter is to analyze barriers to an implementation of green supply chain management in a stone crushing plant of Southern India by using modified simple additive weighting (SAW) to rank approaches. Further, this study will help the small-scale industries to understand the factors affecting implementation of GSCM in their organizations.
