In the study of closed-loop supply chain management, it is a valuable question to set up effective incentive mechanism to improve the closed loop recycling efficiency and supply chain profit level. The implementation of the incentive mechanism is usually accompanied by principal-agent theory. For the manufacturers, it has a certain reference significance to study the Closed-loop supply chain incentive mechanism based on the theory of the principal-agent.Firstly, the paper introduced the related content of channel choice in closed-loop supply chain. A model is created based on Stackelberg theory with nonlinear relationship between recovering price and total recovery.On this base, the paper discussed the change of the whole supply chain profit under different recycling channels, summarized the respective applicable conditions of different Recovery mode under the premise of floating coefficient of initial investment. Secondly, aiming at RT—CLSC incentive problems,a two-stage Closed-loop supply chain model involving a single manufacturer and a single retailer was constructed by using principal-agent theory of Information Economics. Through making qualitative and quantitative analysis of a two-stage dynamic model, the relationship between incentive intensity and other parameters was studied, and the influence of incentive intensity on the recovery rate in the supply chain was analyzed.In addition, took consider of the TPT—CLSC, paper established a closed-loop supply chain Incentive model composed of single independent third party. The influence of this incentive mechanism in Environmental performance and economic benefits of CLSC is analyzed, even the impact of industry’s total profits including consumer surplus. To deepen the analysis between incentive costs and recycle profits. A further study of TPT-CLSC Incentive mechanism is made by using principal-agent theory of information Economics. Finally, it is proved that the TPT-CLSC Incentive mechanism can be used to coordinate the Environmental performance and Economic benefits of CLSC.Finally, took enlightenment Thornton’s recycle case as an example, this paper discussed the closed loop recycling enterprise’s operation pattern, from the company incentive mechanism to coordination mechanism, the future development direction of similar enterprises is also discussed in this paper. |
