Game analysis of multi-strategy between government and suppliers in green supply chain

Abstract

In order to study the roles that the government and the suppliers played in the green supply chain, this paper constructed the game model of multi-strategy between government and suppliers. Game theory was then used to seek the optimal mixed strategies of the government and suppliers under equilibrium conditions. It is shown that government can adjust the economic policy according to the cost of government supervision, the penalties on non-green products, the environmental damage costs of non-green products, and so on. On this basis, this paper provided theoretical ideas for the government to improve the efficiency of the green supply chain. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.
