Green supply chain decision-making embedded with information transfer function of blockchain
In view of consumers'imperfect trust in green products and the high transaction costs among supply chain enterprises,the game model of green supply chain decision-making was setup based on the technical effect character-istics of blockchain.The decision of green supply chain was compared and analyzed under the two situations of not implementing blockchain and implementing blockchain.The sufficient conditions for green supply chain to imple-ment blockchain were discussed under the different value goal.The research showed that when the increased value was large or the increased value was small,but the weakening factor of the potential market size of green products was greater than a certain degree,the green supply chain would have enough incentive to implement blockchain.Through numerical example analysis,it was further found that the relationship among price elasticity coefficient of green products,green effort cost coefficient of the manufacturer and green preference degree of consumers would af-fect the conditions of green supply chain implementation of blockchain.When blockchain was implemented,both the manufacturer and the retailer would raise their selling prices.The greater the increased value created by implemen-ting blockchain,the higher the wholesale price,but the impact on the retail price was different.
