Abstract
It assumes that two Chinese medicinal materials logistics distribution enterprises provide green logistics distribution service and general logistics distribution service with mutual substitution. Considering consumer purchase behavior, it divides consumers into the green consumer and general consumers. It further supposes that two types of consumer’s valuations for two kinds of distribution are heterogeneous, and are uniformly distribution. We use a utility function to get the consumers’ consumer behavior. Under the condition of concentration and decentralize respectively, we get optimal pricing of green logistics distribution service and general logistics distribution service by maximizing profit of the whole supply chains and the two enterprises. We identify the two Chinese medicinal materials logistics distribution enterprises’ pricing is positively related to the price sensitivity of consumers in both integrated supply chain and decentralized supply chain. Under some conditions, the pricing of the two enterprises are positively related to consumer environmental awareness.
