TL;DR: The dynamic game models for the two scenarios in which the manufacturer holds either asymmetric or symmetric channel power as the retailer are developed and the corporations’ profits and system stability are compared.
Abstract: In this paper, a dual-channel supply chain composed of one manufacturer and one retailer is discussed. The manufacturer sells its products to its customers, becoming the rival of the retailers. In this case, we consider two scenarios in which the manufacturer holds either asymmetric or symmetric channel power as the retailer. According to the changing demand, we develop the dynamic game models for the two scenarios and analyze the models’ dynamic behavior. The corporations’ profits and system stability are compared under these two scenarios. We find that the manufacturer’s profit is greater with asymmetric channel power than that with symmetric channel power. For the retailer, it will get more profit if it holds a symmetric channel power compared with the manufacturer. The supply chain profit will increase as the internal competition increases. Besides, the system stability will be easier to maintain with asymmetric channel power and the market will be much easier to fall into chaos with symmetric channel power.

TL;DR: The results indicate that a great adjustment of supply order quantity in direct channels, retailer's order quantity, consumers’ channel preference, and sales effort will cause the system to lose stability and trap into complexity.
Abstract: The Stackelberg Dynamic Game Model for a multi-channel supply chain which consists of one manufacturer and two retailers has been analyzed in this research as manufacturer provides a single product to traditional retailer, online retailer and direct channel. The complexity of the multi-channel system of such is therefore analyzed under the aid of the methods including stability domain, bifurcation diagram, the largest Lyapunov exponent, attractor, and time series. The results indicate that a great adjustment of supply order quantity in direct channels, retailer's order quantity, consumers’ channel preference, and sales effort will cause the system to lose stability and trap into complexity. On condition that customer didn't prefer the channel, the speed to adjust the order quantity would influence less on the system. Otherwise, when consumers’ channel preference too strong, the players on supply chain players would not see a profit increase, no matter how hard they'd improved their sales effort. And, so will it exhibit such a meagre influence on the profits of the whole supply players chain. During the period when sales efforts being adjusted, retailers, as the rule followers, will be confronted by more limitations than the rule maker the manufacturer. Then, to further analyze, parameters adjustment control method is utilized to control the chaos of the multi-channel supply chain. Furthermore, to investigate the influence of the delay decision on the stability domain and the profits. The research findings of this study can provide a great reference for managers and decision-making process in their supply chain management.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-echelon reverse supply chain (RSC) with one manufacturer and one retailer who try to improve sustainable consumption by increasing customers' willingness to return used products through offering a discount or a direct fee in exchange for bringing back EOL products was considered.
Abstract: Due to the increasing number of end-of-life (EOL) products and their related environmental concerns, much attention has been paid to reverse logistics. In this paper, we consider a two-echelon reverse supply chain (RSC) with one manufacturer and one retailer who try to improve sustainable consumption by increasing customers’ willingness to return used products through offering a discount or a direct fee in exchange for bringing back EOL products. Afterward, the model is extended to consider a closed loop supply chain (CLSC). Quantity discounts and increasing fee contracts are proposed to coordinate supply chains. Then, government role in improving coordinated supply chains through donating different incentives (tax exemption and subsidy) to supply chain members are analyzed. Results show that total channel profit in the coordinated case is improved. Also, in the proposed models, each member has enough motives to participate in the plan. In addition, results demonstrate that government-sponsored incentives to the manufacturer are preferred to the retailer.
