Study of behavior incentive mechanism of energy conservation and emission reduction for China freshwater live fish supply chain
Abstract: 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.
