This paper analyzes noncooperative dynamic game behavior in a two-echelon supply chain composed of one supplier and one retailer. The aim is to give supplier reasonable suggestions on decision making of marketing strategy. The challenge of dealing with this problem is the discreteness of demand. The main contributions of this paper are twofold: one is to address the necessary conditions in which supplier can choose quantity discount policy as marketing strategy; the second is to provide the solving methods of the equilibrium strategy and discount rate under quantity discount policy. Two types of quantity discount marketing strategies are considered. It is concluded that the strategy sets of production and procurement are independent of discount rate via analyzing the optimality properties. Numerical tests illustrate that incremental quantity discount policy is more widely considered than all-unit quantity discount policy, and whether the quantity discount policy can be chosen as the marketing strategy not only relates to supplier's own cost structure but also retailer's cost structure.

There is increasing pressure on companies to follow more strict practices along the whole supply chain regarding sustainability and health. However, consumers' knowledge on nutrition, labelling and on the impacts of the agri-food system is scarce. In this sense, it is particularly interesting to analyse consumers' behaviour towards a family of products coming from one of the most controversial sectors due to both past health hazards and its high environmental impact: the livestock sector. This sector constitutes itself one of the Global issues' bottlenecks that call for urgent action. The present study reviews consumers' behaviour towards meat and dairy products claiming different attributes related to sustainability. Therefore, this chapter reviews, synthesize and discusses the existing knowledge on the topic with an integrative-interdisciplinary approach. Finally, marketing strategy recommendations are provided.

In this paper, we design a revenue share contract when a supplier is the leader and a retailer is the follower in a two-echelon supply chain. The innovation lies in dividing the supplier’s marketing strategies into two types: the profit oriented and the sales oriented to distinguish the different decision objectives from previous literatures assuming the supplier and retailer are both profit oriented. The paper uses the revenue share contract to reach supply chain coordination and Pareto optimality in the supply chain with the profit-oriented suppliers. However, the contract makes supply chain collaboration solutions and the Pareto improvement with the sales oriented supplier conditional. Numerical examples are given to illustrate these cases.

(1) Background: A binding recommended retail price has been used in several markets in a variety of forms, and the book market is a typical example. Publishers sell books to online retailers at a unit wholesale discount computed on the cover price. Retailers are then allowed to set the retail price. Therefore, if consumers regard the cover prices as reference points, then they may be more likely to purchase books if retail prices are lower than the cover prices. (2) Methods: We develop a Stackelberg game model for a book supply chain to investigates how reference price effects affect retailers and publisher’s pricing strategies. (3) Results: The results show that retailers will sell printed books at a discount only when the publisher’s wholesale discount rate is not high. Further, as the intensity of the reference price effects increases, (a) the lower boundary of the wholesale discount rate rises, (b) publishers’ profits increase and (c) retailers’ profits increase relative to the level of consumers’ e-books acceptance. (4) Conclusions: This result is related to the fact that the online retailer, such as Amazon and JD.com, like to invoke reference price effects in consumers’ minds by highlighting the printed book’s discount rate.

The shared supply chain model has provided new ideas for solving contradictions between supply and demand for large-scale standardized production by manufacturers and personalized demands of consumers. On the basis of a platform network effect perspective, this study constructs an evolutionary game model of value co-creation behavior for a shared supply chain platform and manufacturers, analyzes their evolutionary stable strategies, and uses numerical simulation analysis to further verify the model. The results revealed that the boundary condition for manufacturers to participate in value co-creation on a shared supply chain platform is that the net production cost of the manufacturers’ participation in the platform value co-creation must be less than that of nonparticipation. In addition, the boundary condition for the shared supply chain platform to actively participate in value co-creation is that the cost of the shared supply chain platform for active participation in value co-creation must be less than that of passive participation. Moreover, value co-creation behavior on the shared supply chain platform is a dynamic game interaction process between players with different benefit perceptions. Finally, the costs and benefits generated by the network effect can affect value co-creation on shared supply chain platforms.
