Purpose: Environmental systems and supply chain management are complementary, and their implementation not only improves the environment within the country but also increases the sustainability and environmental performance of the global supply chain. The present study evaluates the supply chain management in the pharmaceutical system of selected public hospitals in Mazandaran province.Methodology: Experts completed the designed questionnaire to rank the factors affecting the evaluation of supply chain management in the pharmaceutical system. After collecting the data, they were analyzed using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. Various factors and models were identified by studying the research background. The conceptual model of the research was presented by experts in four categories of main criteria and 16 sub-criteria. These factors include managerial and employee, economic, organizational, and cultural factors.Findings: The results showed that economic factors weighing 0.266 are the most important regarding experts and have the first rank, followed by managerial and employee factors, organizational factors, and cultural factors. Also, among the sub-criteria, the factors of adopting a business strategy commensurate with environmental goals with a weight of 0.0936, first place, designing a competitive business plan for optimal price and quality with a weight of 0.0878, second place, and modelling the trade policies of leading countries with a weight of 0.0846, third place. Originality/Value: Given the importance of factor-related criteria in implementing supply chain management, this article examines the factors that affect managers to help find a suitable model for their future investment plans.

Purpose: Dumping is one of the negative results of free trade. It occurs when a foreign exporter sells a commodity at a lower price than the selling price of the same or similar commodity in its domestic market in another country's market. Many approaches are used to investigate the problem of dumping, one of which is game theory, which is used in this article. Methodology: Game theory is one of the advanced scientific phenomena that has provided a solid framework for strategic behaviours. A lot of data is needed to solve business problems and issues, and given that real-world data usually involves uncertainty, using definite methods in a real, inaccurate environment will not be suitable for optimal decision-making. Therefore, this article intends to study the issues of dumping and anti-dumping in countries' trade relations with the help of game theory in the environment of grey uncertainty. Findings: According to the results, since healthy competition in a product's market leads to the desirability and reduction of the price of that product, the formation of healthy competition requires appropriate policies and policies for businesses to survive in a competitive market or be strengthened in those markets. Originality/Value: Game theory is one of the applied fields that has grown in decision-making and economics and has attracted the attention of many researchers. Utilizing this theory can help the current knowledge about the further application of this theory in the country's economic conditions.
