Abstract
In the context of China's dual carbon target and the International Maritime Organization's stricter greenhouse gas emission reduction strategy for shipping, there is an urgent need for a green transformation of the shipping supply chain. However, how to solve the problems of high investment cost and low CSR awareness of shipping enterprises in green transformation is still facing many challenges. To this end, this paper constructs a green shipping supply chain system composed of two shipping companies and shippers, consider the awareness of green preference of shippers, explore the impact of different government subsidy strategies on the optimal service and corporate social responsibility investment decision of green shipping supply chain. The results show that under the strategy of no government subsidies, the proper CSR of can effectively improve the economic and environmental performance of shipping supply chains. Compared with the no-government subsidy strategy and the government-subsidized CSR shipping company strategy, the CSR investment of shipping company under the subsidy strategy of shippers has the most significant impact on the shipping supply chain.
期刊介绍:
Research in Transportation Business & Management (RTBM) will publish research on international aspects of transport management such as business strategy, communication, sustainability, finance, human resource management, law, logistics, marketing, franchising, privatisation and commercialisation. Research in Transportation Business & Management welcomes proposals for themed volumes from scholars in management, in relation to all modes of transport. Issues should be cross-disciplinary for one mode or single-disciplinary for all modes. We are keen to receive proposals that combine and integrate theories and concepts that are taken from or can be traced to origins in different disciplines or lessons learned from different modes and approaches to the topic. By facilitating the development of interdisciplinary or intermodal concepts, theories and ideas, and by synthesizing these for the journal''s audience, we seek to contribute to both scholarly advancement of knowledge and the state of managerial practice. Potential volume themes include: -Sustainability and Transportation Management- Transport Management and the Reduction of Transport''s Carbon Footprint- Marketing Transport/Branding Transportation- Benchmarking, Performance Measurement and Best Practices in Transport Operations- Franchising, Concessions and Alternate Governance Mechanisms for Transport Organisations- Logistics and the Integration of Transportation into Freight Supply Chains- Risk Management (or Asset Management or Transportation Finance or ...): Lessons from Multiple Modes- Engaging the Stakeholder in Transportation Governance- Reliability in the Freight Sector
