Decisions and Coordination of Green Supply Chain Considering Big Data Targeted Advertising
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (1)
- In the green supply chain where the online retailer conducts big data targeted advertising, what are the optimal decisions for the manufacturer and the online retailer?
- (2)
- What influence will the model parameters have on the equilibrium results of the green supply chain?
- (3)
- Can the zero wholesale price-side-payment contract and the greedy wholesale price-side-payment contract help to achieve the coordination of the green supply chain?

6. Conclusions
- (1)
- Manufacturers must correctly understand the real product needs of consumers and actively carry out product improvements and green investment. Online retailers must meet consumer service needs and improve consumer satisfaction. As a result, the increase in the attenuation coefficient of known information consumers is promoted, and the withdrawal of consumers is inhibited.
- (2)
- In order to increase the green sensitivity of consumers, both manufacturers and online retailers must actively promote green products to create a new fashion for green consumption. In reality, the environmental awareness of consumers is constantly increasing, which is very important for the development of the green supply chain.
- (3)
- When big data targeted advertisements are delivered, online retailers should optimize the content of the targeted advertisements and adopt quick response strategies, such as issuing coupons to potential consumers waiting for conversion. As a result, the increase in the sensitivity coefficient of big data targeted advertising and the conversion rate of potential consumers is improved.
- (4)
- Whether it is an online-retailer-led green supply chain or a manufacturer-led green supply chain, manufacturers and online retailers should trust each other, agree on a fixed payment fee acceptable to both parties, and coordinate the green supply chain by adopting a zero wholesale price-side-payment contract or a greedy wholesale price-side-payment contract. The application of the contract ensures that both parties can obtain more profits and the green supply chain can obtain higher environmental benefits.
