Summary: This study aims to explore the regulatory effect of relationship quality in the process of the omni-channel model on service supply chain collaboration of agricultural products. It also investigates the intermediary effect of service supply chain collaboration in the process of service innovation and the omni-channel model. Through a questionnaire survey and AMOS multivariate statistical analysis, the study shows that the omni-channel model has a significant impact on service innovation. Service supply chain collaboration mediates this relationship, and the quality of supply chain relationships regulates the model. The results highlight the importance of improving service supply chain collaboration, managing the omni-channel model, and promoting service innovation in agricultural supply chains.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction between manufacturers and retailers in the supply chain using a game-theoretic framework. The findings suggest that retailers prefer to engage in promotion regardless of product quality, while manufacturers are reluctant to share promotional costs. The study also reveals an interaction between product-channel structure and promotional effort. Additionally, there exists a feasible region of quality levels where the supply chain can achieve Pareto improvement.

Summary: This research proposes a game theory model to analyze the trade-offs between traceability and sustainability in the adoption of blockchain technology in global supply chains. The study finds that high distrust levels discourage firms from implementing blockchain, while low distrust levels make it an economically suitable technology with minimal environmental damages. The study also highlights the importance of consumer sensitivity to price and quality in determining the adoption of blockchain technology.

Summary: Based on the Stackelberg game theory, this paper investigates the incentive effects of five government subsidy strategies on agricultural products in e-commerce. A two-tier e-commerce supply chain is constructed to examine the impact of these strategies on the greenness, price, and profit of the supply chain. The results indicate that government subsidies have a significant effect, with direct subsidization from the government to farmers having the strongest impact on the sales and greenness of agricultural products. This study provides policy implications for governments to establish a sustainable mechanism through direct subsidization.

Summary: This study optimizes the sustainable supply chain through bi-level programming, considering resilience factors and pricing decisions. It proposes that the government can influence environmental and social responsibility by setting an emissions tax rate. The results suggest that the centralized model provides a better solution, and maintaining emergency stock is recommended when mitigating the adverse effects of disruptions.

Summary: This paper investigates the optimal distribution strategy of a manufacturer in a dual-channel supply chain based on the product type. Depending on whether the product is demand-type or cost-type, the manufacturer may choose to sell its premium product through direct or traditional channels for maximum efficiency.

Summary: By constructing the consumers' utility function, this article calculates the optimal order quantity and optimal expected profit of a fresh retailer under the centralized and decentralized inventory strategy in an omni-channel supply chain. It also analyzes the impact of consumers' channel preference, consumers' demand transfer behavior, and the buy-online-pickup-in-store (BOPS) service on retailers' inventory strategy. The results indicate that opening a BOPS service is not always beneficial for retailers, but eliminating the differences between channels is always beneficial. The optimal order quantity and expected profit are influenced by various consumer behaviors under the decentralized inventory strategy, whereas they are only affected by the freshness-keeping cost under the centralized inventory strategy. A reasonable inventory management strategy should consider the product type, inventory cost, consumer preferences, and order quantity.

Summary: Recognizing the significant threats posed by climate change to agricultural supply chains, companies globally are committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Recent advancements in modeling have improved transparency in meat and ethanol industry supply chains, linking production practices and environmental impacts to downstream demand. Understanding spatially explicit hotspots in production impacts and land use changes is crucial for effective mitigation efforts and policies.

Summary: This study examines the impact of optimism on companies in a green supply chain, finding that managers' optimistic bias may impede investment in green product development while being harmful to the upstream manufacturer and beneficial to the downstream retailer. Surprisingly, under certain conditions, green optimism can be detrimental to all stakeholders in the supply chain.
