Summary: To investigate the spillover effect of information sharing on carbon emissions under a cap-and-trade system, a supply chain (SC) consisting of a manufacturer and a retailer was established. The study found that the willingness of the retailer to share information is affected by carbon reduction efficiency. The implementation of information sharing contracts not only increases SC members' profits but also reduces carbon emissions and achieves spillover effects.

Summary: This paper investigates the cooperating mode selection problem of a manufacturer selling products through offline and online channels. The study finds that demand disruptions and cross-channel effects significantly influence the manufacturer's optimal operational decisions and platform mode selection. The presence of demand disruptions complicates the manufacturer's mode selection, and higher cross-channel effects can lead to increased production. Furthermore, demand disruptions have a significant impact on the profits of both the manufacturer and the platform.

Summary: COVID-19 has had permanent effects on the Regional Agri-Supply Chain (RASC), accelerating trends like globalization, e-agri-business, virtual retailing, and smart logistics. Increased competitiveness in logistics outsourcing and growing demand for regional agri-products post-COVID has raised questions about the sustainability of B2B pricing supply chain models and the strategic decisions of 3PL firms. This paper proposes decision-making approaches using game theory and finds that a contractual supply chain can be formed, but 3PL firms need perfect information and must constrain their core competencies for sustainable profit.
