Research on Pricing and Effort Investment Decisions for Dual-Channel Fresh Product Supply Chain Under the Participation of Third-Party Logistics Provider by Yunting Wu, Aimin Zhu, Lijuan Yu, Wenbo Wang

“…In most cases, the D1 Model generates the highest system profit. However, in scenarios where consumers are highly sensitive to freshness and marketing efforts, the system profit of the D2 Model is higher than that of the D1 Model. (3) The supply chain has lower pricing and effort input when consumers are more sensitive to prices and higher pricing and effort input when consumers are more sensitive to freshness. …”
