| Trade‐in program options in a retailer‐led supply chain. By Zhao, Wenyu;Xia, Yulan;Zhang, Lu;Fan, Xiaojun International Transactions in Operational Research,May2026 Abstract :Firms offer trade‐in programs that consumers trade an old product and receive trade‐in rebate when buying a new one. To study whether the manufacturer or the retailer should introduce a trade‐in program, we build a Stackelberg game that consists of one manufacturer and one retailer by considering old and new consumers in a retailer‐led supply chain. We find that when the production cost of a product is high under no trade‐in program, old consumers do not purchase the product. When the retailer provides the trade‐in program, there are "lose–win" situation for the manufacturer and retailer. However, when the manufacturer provides the trade‐in program, there are "win–win" situation for the manufacturer and retailer. Then, we find that the manufacturer (retailer) can benefit more from providing trade‐in program by themselves than that provided by the other one. | |||
| Billionaire Backlash in Walmart`s Hometown. By MATHEWS, JESSICA Fortune,Apr/May2026 Abstract :The article focuses on the Walton family`s extensive influence in Bentonville, Arkansas, where their Walmart fortune has shaped the town’s rapid growth, cultural development, and infrastructure. While the Waltons have invested heavily in local philanthropy, arts, and urban improvements, their involvement has sparked mixed reactions, including accusations of gentrification and concerns over their outsized power in civic life. A notable controversy arose in 2023 when two Walton grandchildren’s efforts to explore redesignating the nearby Buffalo National River as a national park triggered local backlash rooted in fears of displacement and unwanted tourism. The article highlights the complex dynamics between the family’s generosity, community dependence, and growing skepticism amid broader national debates about wealth, influence, and rural-urban divides. | |||
