Journal Title: Decision Making in Manufacturing and Services - Year 2010, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Supply chain coordination through contracts has been a burgeoning area of re- search in recent years. In spite of rapid development of research, there are only a few structured analyses of assumptions, methods, and applicability of insights in this field. The aim of this paper is to provide a systematic overview of coordinating contracts in supply chain through highlighting the main concepts, assumptions, methods, and present the state-of-the- art research in this field.
