Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper investigates the subject behavior of Energy conservation and emission reduction (ECER) based on structured classification of the organization types of FLF supply chain, and explores reasonable behavior incentive mechanism for ECER of FLF supply chain in China. Design/methodology/approach: This paper classifies the organization subjects of FLF supply chain, and different characteristics of organization subjects are compared in detail. ECER behavior incentive mechanism modeling of FLF supply chain is explored by taking advantage of principal-agent model in view of asymmetry information. Incentives issue of different operating subjects is discussed as enlightenment of the model. Findings: Three types of the organization subjects of FLF supply chain in China have been identified as: loose organization, semi-compact organization and compact organization.Subjects of different types have different abilities to conduct ECER work. Government needs to propose differentiation polices of incentive compensation for different operating subjects, widen the gap of differentiated subsidies/rewards for different investment levels on ECER conducted by different operating subjects of FLF supply chain. Research limitations/implications: It will take long-term unremitting efforts to achieve the target of ECER work for FLF supply chain in China, the dynamic issues and simulation modeling on behavior incentive mechanism of ECER should be developed in future research. Practical implications: Clear understanding of structured classification of the organization subject types of FLF supply chain and the behavior incentive mechanism for ECER, will help government to improve the ECER work in an efficient and effective way. Originality/value: Research to behavior incentive mechanism of ECER has important theoretical value and practical significance. This paper contributes to distinguish three types of operating subjects of FLF supply chain in China, put forward the behavior incentive mechanism of ECER to support the government to improve the ECER work scientifically.
Highlights
Modern supply chain of freshwater live fish (FLF) refers to link the various functional links of FLF from production areas to consumption areas into an organic whole which includes production, fishing, commercialization, transport, handling, culturing, distribution, transaction and settlement, quality information and so on, carry out effective coordination and control for the physical flow, organizational flow, information flow and value flow, promote the realization of preservation and appreciation for the whole industry chain, meet the demand of production and consumption of FLF (Lu, Wu, Li & Chen, 2014)
The innovation of the research in this paper is to investigate the subject behavior of energy conservation and emission reduction (ECER) based on structured classification of the organization subject types of FLF supply chain in China
The contribution to theoretical research is to distinguish three types of operating subjects and organizations of FLF supply chain, and show that the ability and motivation of operating subjects to participate in ECER work and their effects are significantly different for different types
Summary
Modern supply chain of freshwater live fish (FLF) refers to link the various functional links of FLF from production areas to consumption areas into an organic whole which includes production, fishing, commercialization, transport, handling, culturing, distribution, transaction and settlement, quality information and so on, carry out effective coordination and control for the physical flow, organizational flow, information flow and value flow, promote the realization of preservation and appreciation for the whole industry chain, meet the demand of production and consumption of FLF (Lu, Wu, Li & Chen, 2014). Liu (2012) finds that the organization subjects of FLF supply chain have weak consciousness of ECER and are unwilling to adopt new technology of ECER in China. The innovation of the research in this paper is to investigate the subject behavior of ECER based on structured classification of the organization subject types of FLF supply chain in China. The contribution to theoretical research is to distinguish three types of operating subjects and organizations of FLF supply chain, and show that the ability and motivation of operating subjects to participate in ECER work and their effects are significantly different for different types. This research put forward the behavior incentive mechanism of ECER to support the government to improve the ECER work scientifically, which makes contribution to the practice community.
