Summary: This paper explores the feasibility of product take-back regulation operating under collection and reuse targets. The results suggest that the manufacturer's optimal strategy depends on the regulation model applied, with higher regulation targets decreasing the manufacturer's profit but benefiting the supply chain from the reuse target.

Summary: This paper explores an interconnected three-stage supply chain that strives to promote a greener supply chain under industrial and environmental policies. The supply chain consists of both forward and reverse components, using new materials to manufacture and sell new products, while also incorporating a market for remanufactured products. Two models, centralized and decentralized, are formulated to analyze the dynamics of the supply chain and perform sensitivity analysis through a numerical example.

Summary: As waste from consumer electronics sector grows, manufacturers are facing challenges to properly treat waste through remanufacturing in order to reduce carbon emissions. Strict collection targets or carbon emission limits under single regulation may lead to a decrease in remanufacturing and impact manufacturer's profits.

Summary: This paper examines a two-echelon inventory model for a closed-loop supply chain system with a manufacturer and a retailer under stochastic conditions with carbon emission reductions. The government offers a take-back incentive to encourage the manufacturer to reuse products, resulting in system improvement and increased collection efforts. However, these policies may lead to an undesirable increase in total emissions.

Summary: This research investigates the interaction between a retailer's information sharing behavior and a manufacturer's encroachment strategies in a closed-loop supply chain. The study shows that information sharing is beneficial to the manufacturer but detrimental to the retailer. In cases of manufacturer encroachment, the retailer may be willing to share information, and encroachment is always profitable for the manufacturer.

Summary: This paper develops a game model to analyze the long-term collection strategies in a closed-loop supply chain with a manufacturer, a remanufacturer, and a retailer. The results show that the manufacturer can develop the remanufacturing technology quickly and achieve higher profits under certain conditions. The choice between direct and indirect reverse channels depends on the entry barrier and cost advantage.

Summary: This paper studies third-party remanufacturing in a closed loop supply chain by developing game models and considers the impact of green consumer behavior and environmentally responsible behavior on the manufacturer's strategy. The research finds that when there is a significant preference gap between consumers for new and remanufactured products, both the manufacturer and the third-party remanufacturer prefer authorization; however, in the case of high environmental cost, it is difficult for them to select the same remanufacturing strategy.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of remanufacturing cost disruption on supplier-remanufacturing and manufacturer-remanufacturing modes in a closed-loop supply chain. The study compares equilibrium strategies and profits of each mode, and analyzes the effects of disruption on remanufacturing. The findings reveal that both modes have similar robustness, and in manufacturer-remanufacturing mode, the manufacturer prefers to increase acquisition price and engage in more remanufacturing when faced with negative disruption. In supplier-remanufacturing mode, the supplier may sacrifice profits from new components to maximize remanufacturing profits if the negative disruption is significant.

Summary: Remanufacturing is a meaningful approach for achieving circular economy, but the lack of cost information sharing hampers its development. This study examines the issues of cost information sharing in a supply chain with remanufacturing, and finds that sharing information on new product volume can lower wholesale price and benefit both social welfare and the environment.

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: This study investigates the impact of online and offline dual recycling channels in a closed-loop supply chain, and how government subsidies affect pricing decisions and recycling mode selection of channel members. Findings show that in dual recycling modes, remanufacturers can maximize profits by setting appropriate recycling and transfer prices, while collectors prefer single offline recycling due to competitive threats from online recycling. The relationship between collection quantities in the three modes depends on consumer preferences for the online recycling channel. Additionally, government subsidies play a positive role in promoting recycling and remanufacturing willingness of remanufacturers and collectors.

Summary: As awareness of the natural environment increases, corporates are being scrutinized for their ecological footprints. Leading transnational corporations have implemented closed-loop supply chains to reduce emissions and maintain their competitiveness. This study examines the effects of corporate social responsibility fulfillment in two types of transnational closed-loop supply chains in developing countries, providing insights into the balance of economic, environmental, and social obligations for transnational firms.

Summary: This study examines the dynamics of remanufacturing in a Cournot duopoly model, analyzing the impact of different quality policies on profits and social welfare. The findings suggest that a high-quality policy is beneficial for independent remanufacturers and consumers when end-of-life products are sufficient, but a compromise quality policy may be necessary when the availability of products is limited.

Summary: This study investigates the interactions between two platforms competing in two-sided markets with cross-sided network effects and determines their prices under different entry and homing strategies. Early-entry platforms will preserve high margins in large early markets, but market-cannibalization effect may impact platform profitability. Cross-sided network effects lead to a preference for multi-homing policy, beneficial for society as a whole.

Summary: This study examines a dynamic closed-loop supply chain involving an OEM and an IR, considering government intervention with different policies and their impacts on environmental burden, firm profits, consumer surplus, and social welfare. The findings suggest that the policies are profitable for IR and effective in reducing environmental burden, but may not necessarily benefit OEM.

Summary: This paper investigates the effects of multihoming on platform strategies and decision-making. A game-theoretic model is established to analyze the pricing and content decisions of competing platforms, and their optimal strategic choices. The study finds that developing exclusive content is a dominant strategy that benefits platforms, consumers, and society, especially in the presence of multihoming.
