Abstract:
When freight forwarding companies apply blockchain technology to build a shipping logistics platform, they need to discuss how to make the best investment decisions and how to coordinate supply chain members. This paper first combines the development status of the shipping logistics industry, puts forward a conceptual model that uses the integration of blockchain technology to build a shipping logistics blockchain platform with freight forwarding companies as the main body. Then, the Stackelberg game method is used to discuss the impact of information sharing on investment decisions under the application of the shipping logistics blockchain platform, and the contract of'service cost allocation and benefit sharing'and'blockchain cost allocation and benefit sharing'are designed to coordinate the supply chain. Finally, numerical analysis is used to verify the results. The results of the study found:(1)The investment threshold of freight forwarding companies investing in building shipping logistics blockchain platforms is related to the unit cost optimization coefficient, demand information forecast amount, and price sensitivity coefficient.(2)Although the application of a shipping logistics blockchain platform by freight forwarders is at the cost of information sharing, information sharing can enable freight forwarders and shipping companies to obtain greater benefits.(3)There is a big gap between the optimal decision that freight forwarders bear the blockchain cost and service cost separately under decentralized decision-making and centralized-decision making. The contract of'service cost-sharing-revenue sharing'and'blockchain cost-sharing-revenue sharing'can realize the coordination of the shipping supply chain when certain conditions are met. But'block-chain cost-sharing and benefit-sharing'contracts meet more lenient conditions. The research results can provide theoretical guidance for the decision-making of freight forwarding companies to invest in building a shipping logistics blockchain platform and coordinating members of the supply chain. © 2023 Journal of Computer Engineering and Applications Beijing Co., Ltd.; Science Press.
