Summary: This study is the first to review the literature dealing with Revenue Sharing Contracts (RSCs), which have gained considerable popularity over the past two decades. The research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art in the field and identify potential areas for further exploration, by analyzing 148 carefully selected papers on RSCs in operations research and management. The study classifies and discusses the reviewed papers in terms of contract types incorporated and research questions addressed, also providing mathematical formulations of prevalent RSC structures.

Summary: Rebate policies are widely used by manufacturers to stimulate sales. This paper analyzes a supply chain model with revenue sharing and wholesale price contracts. The study shows that revenue sharing contract and wholesale price contract with rebate can achieve Pareto improvement, and a revenue sharing contract with rebate policy can achieve Kaldor-Hicks improvement.

Summary: This study investigates the design of equity cooperation mechanisms in the sharing logistics service supply chain, providing feasible solutions for logistics companies. Not all cooperation scenarios considered achieve Pareto improvement of the total profit of the supply chain when members choose to cooperate under revenue-sharing or cost-sharing mechanisms.

Summary: This study proposes a new wholesale pricing mechanism that promotes information sharing between a weaker retailer and a more powerful manufacturer, benefiting both parties. The novel feature of this mechanism is an additional stage of interaction before the retailer's information sharing decision.

Summary: Due to the stochastic demand and uncertain environment during the pandemics, the vendor and retailer use revenue sharing and markdown policies to share risks and benefits. Three supply chain coordination policies are developed, and it is found that the revenue sharing contract is more attractive for the retailer while the centralized policy is preferred by the vendor. The sensitivity analysis shows that the number of markdowns is not sensitive to demand variations.

Summary: The study found that, when considering consumer reference price effect, a cost-sharing contract is more effective than a wholesale-price contract in enhancing product greenness and stimulating demand. Under a single contract, a retailer-led situation is more conducive to improving product greenness. Moreover, consumer reference price effect can reduce the sharing ratio of a cost-sharing contract when the manufacturer dominates, but it can also alleviate the issue of double marginalization by decreasing wholesale and retail prices and boosting consumer surplus.

Summary: The study indicates that in a supply chain setup, suppliers benefit more from using capacity reservation contracts than wholesale price contracts, especially in low-margin scenarios. Behavioral factors such as naive anchoring and trust also play a role in supplier decision-making.

Summary: This paper develops a duopoly model to analyze the effects of capacity sharing strategy and optimal revenue-sharing contract in different scenarios, showing that capacity constraints affect sustainable development, but capacity sharing may not improve social welfare.

Summary: This paper investigates the decision-making and coordination of an e-commerce supply chain (ECSC) with consumer preferences. The optimal decisions are made for decentralized and centralized decision models, and a comparative analysis is performed. A coordination mechanism based on revenue sharing is proposed, and the conclusions are verified through numerical analysis.

Summary: Our paper examines the impact of concession revenue sharing contracts on airports and airlines. We find that sharing concession revenues is profitable for airports, leading to increased consumer surplus and social welfare. Airports prefer exclusive agreements when their non-aeronautical revenues are low, allowing them to extract higher payments by taking advantage of competition between airlines. The level of regulated aeronautical charges influences airport decisions and the intensity of airline competition. While welfare is higher under non-exclusive arrangements, this may conflict with airport preferences. The use of these contracts remains incentivized under airport competition, and revenue sharing increases. Revenue sharing also boosts traffic when there is a high degree of cooperation between airlines in an alliance.

Summary: This study uses data from three different bike sharing systems to predict the demand for electric bicycles using an algorithm and classifiers. The system with the highest prediction accuracy, Santander Cycles in London, predicts that approximately 21% to 27% of trips would have used an electric bike if one had been available. Temperature, distance, wind speed, and altitude difference are the most important features.

Summary: This paper examines the interaction between a manufacturer's capability to acquire demand information and a retailer's demand investment decision in a supply chain. The study explores two common contract types, wholesale price and two-part tariff, and finds that the retailer benefits from the manufacturer's increased capability to acquire demand information. The results challenge some established findings in the literature and provide new insights into supply chain dynamics.

Summary: This paper explores the impact of consumers' environmental concern on the strategies and outcomes of a supply chain. Taking a supply chain perspective instead of a single-firm one is more realistic since the retailer has a direct influence on sales through pricing policy. Therefore, the contractual arrangement in the supply chain becomes an important issue.
