Summary: In this paper, the optimal channel structure of a green supply chain consisting of one manufacturer and one retailer is examined. The study shows that the manufacturer's dual-channel supply chain performs the best in improving the greenness of products and its own profits. Regardless of the channel structure, consumers' green awareness encourages the manufacturer to improve the greenness of its products.

Summary: Green innovation plays a critical role in the development of green supply chains. Governments often provide targeted innovation subsidies to encourage enterprises to implement green innovation. Game analysis suggests that subsidizing the core manufacturer at the supply chain level can stimulate the entire chain, leading to environmental, economic, and social benefits. The government is more inclined to subsidize manufacturers as subsidies for green innovation increase and the proportion of green consumers grows.

Summary: This study examines the impact of supply disruption timing on pricing decisions, finding that order quantity is influenced by price leadership, and higher levels of disruption lead to higher market retail prices in the Nash game. The timing of orders plays a critical role in pricing strategy.

Summary: In competitive markets, firms need to develop strategies for quality production, product pricing, and marketing efforts to sustain competition. This research uses a supply chain game to model the competition between two substitutable product supply chains. The findings suggest that competition intensity among supply chains leads to an increase in product quality level. In addition, comparisons with centralized settings and monopolistic markets are conducted, and the impact of asymmetric information about manufacturers' cost for quality production is explored in the competition between supply chains.

Summary: This study investigates the optimal decisions, profits, and social welfare in a green supply chain when the manufacturer or retailer conducts green product development. The results show that in the manufacturer-led model, the product greenness and leader's profit are higher, while in the retailer-led model, the retail price and wholesale price may vary.

Summary: Cost allocation is a way to promote green supply chain management, and the behavior preference of decision makers influences the process. This study shows that retailers' participation in environmental cost allocation improves product greenness and achieves Pareto optimality in the supply chain; however, strong fairness preference of manufacturers weakens this positive effect.

Summary: The lack of coordination in green supply chains due to conflicting goals weakens performance, but government intervention through contracts such as insurance can help solve this issue. This study focuses on green supply chain coordination with government intervention and emphasizes the important role of insurance contracts in reducing risks and pollutants. Results show the superiority of insurance contracts over cost-sharing contracts in coordinating green supply chains.

Summary: The rapid development of industrialization has led to an increasing contradiction between human and nature, resulting in the preference for green products among consumers. This study investigates a two-level green manufacturing supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer, and examines the impact of demand on product greenness and advertising investment. It proposes a coordination mechanism for cost-sharing and revenue-sharing.

Summary: This paper investigates sustainability coordination among three major supply chain parties in the context of consumer green awareness, finding that greener markets are more profitable. High investment costs hinder companies from achieving higher levels of emission reduction, while increased consumer green awareness can motivate companies to achieve higher emission reduction levels, but not always lead to reduced carbon emissions.

Summary: This study examines the impact of a supply chain manufacturer's fairness concern and risk aversion on the green supply chain. It compares three models and finds that the manufacturer's risk aversion increases the retailer's profit, the manufacturer's fairness concern decreases the retailer's profit, and the manufacturer's risk aversion decreases the product's green level.

Summary: This paper examines competition and cooperation strategies in pricing and green marketing in a dual-channel supply chain, taking into account customer satisfaction. The study finds that the optimal price is not always proportional to green marketing efforts due to the influence of customer satisfaction. In some cases, the manufacturer should actively assist retailers in improving green marketing to increase profits.

Summary: The paper proposes a two-echelon green supply chain model under governmental interventions and fuzzy uncertainties, analyzing equilibrium decisions of expected value and chance-constrained programming models. The results show that the risk attitudes of the supplier and retailer, as well as their different predictions on uncertainties, affect their equilibrium decisions. Additionally, strong governmental interventions can coordinate conflicts between pricing and green level decisions, and the retailer may play a key role in driving the development of the green supply chain.
