Abstract :
This paper develops a framework for the modeling and analysis of a complex global supply chain network with corporate social responsibility (CSR) through integrated environmental decision-making and risk management. Through a multilevel global supply chain network, we model the multi-criteria decision-making behavior of the various decision-makers (manufacturers, retailers, and consumers), which includes the maximization of profit, the minimization of emission, and the minimization of risk. We propose a network performance measure for the evaluation of global supply chain network. We measure the impact of globalization on supply chains’ CSR decision-making and analyze the effects of CSR on prices, product flows, and the global supply chains efficiency. We found that a social responsible global supply chain network is more efficiency than a less responsible one. Moreover, the higher is the level of social responsibility of the network the lower is the price and therefore the higher is the demand for the product.
