Supply Chain Games
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Games is dedicated to supply chain contracting. The need to coordinate supply chains and align the operations of inter-linked firms is increasingly vital to ensure efficient, resilient, and sustainable supply chains. Potential topics include contract structures, risk-sharing tactics, quick-response measures, and gain-sharing methods. We encourage domain-specific papers that discuss supply chain contracting issues in agriculture, manufacturing, healthcare, and various services. Below are further keywords that may help to identify suitable topics for the Special Issue.
