- Abstract
With the intensification of market competition, high-tech electronic products need to be constantly updated. The accelerated elimination of outdated products has led to a waste of resources and severe environmental pollution. High-tech electronic enterprises are facing more severe problems than other industries in terms of how to coordinate environmental protection and social responsibility while maintaining their profits, because of the high product elimination rate. However, little research on this aspect exists in previous literature. In this paper, we consider the sustainable development of a high-tech product supply chain from the perspectives of profits, environmental protection efforts and social responsibility costs. Considering the hierarchical structure of the supply chain, a bi-level programming model is constructed under the guidance of the manufacturer. The corresponding hierarchical intelligent algorithm is developed to solve and analyze the model. Based on a sensitivity analysis, key research findings with management significance are obtained, as follows: (1) Compared with a carbon emission penalty strategy, changing the carbon tax exerts a greater impact on the optimal decisions and the manufacturer's and retailer's profits. (2) Social welfare costs have significant impacts on product prices, green innovation expenditure and the leader's profit in a supply chain. (3) Higher retailer carbon abatement costs could help reduce the carbon emissions per unit product. (4) The wholesale price decline rate has a greater impact on product price and manufacturer's environmental protection efforts than the component purchase cost decline rate and selling price decline rate.
