• Economic and Environmental Assessment of Remanufacturing Strategies for Product + Service Firms (2014, background): “Goldman (2010) states that “[s]martphones generally cost carriers around $500 per unit,” while arguing that “the hotter the phone, the more a carrier will pay to buy it.”
• The Value of Quality Grading in Remanufacturing (2009, background): “Galbreth and Blackburn (2006) consider the case of a remanufacturer who acquires unsorted products from a broker and needs to determine how many items to acquire and how selective to be in sorting.”
• Closed-Loop Supply Chains: A Critical Review, and Future Research (2013, background): “Other papers assume more granularity in the quality of incoming returns, which implies different remanufacturing costs, and focus on the optimal acquisition plan for product returns (Guide, Teunter, & Van Wassenhove, 2003; Bakal & Akcali, 2006; Galbreth & Blackburn, 2006, 2010).”
• Product Reuse in Innovative Industries (2013, background): “These costs are commonly assumed to be convex increasing in the quantity acquired (Ferguson and Toktay 2006, Ferguson et al. 2009, Galbreth and Blackburn 2006, 2010, Guide et al. 2003).”
• The Effect of Competition on Recovery Strategies (2006, background): “…one of our contributions is that we incorporate a variable collection and/or processing cost that increases in volume, thus linking our competition models with the procurement models of Groenevelt and Majumder (2001b), Guide et al. (2003), Ray et al. (2005), and Galbreth and Blackburn (2005).”
