Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether truthful information sharing can be achieved via informal cheap talk in a competitive setting, and how carbon emission constraint and information-sharing modes (no information sharing, partial information sharing and public...

Purpose The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of information asymmetry on revenue sharing contracts and performance in a dual-channel supply chain. First, the authors model the optimum revenue sharing contract in a dual-channel supply chain under both the full information case and...

This paper develops a coordination mechanism for a supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and n Cournot competing retailers when the production cost and demands are simultaneously disrupted. This differs from traditional supply chain coordination models under a static case and the case with...

In this paper, an adaptive gradient algorithm (AGM) for box constrained optimization is developed. The algorithm is based on an active set identification technique and consists of a nonmonotone gradient projection step, a conjugate gradient step and a rule for branching between the two steps. We...
