What the paper says

Quality is essential for the global trade of Chinese herbal medicines(CHMs), but quality collusion has damaged their reputation.Under digital intelligence, data factors in the traceability platform are the key to controlling collusion.From the empowerment of data factors, this paper focuses on controlling collusion and designs a bidirectional control system on the platform.The results show that the bidirectional control system controls collusion by increasing costs and reducing motivation, which can improve pricing strategies.The platform enhances consumer recognition to encourage product premiums, but price sensitivity diminishes the premium effect.The bullwhip effect mitigates the impact of price sensitivity on the pricing strategies of upstream enterprises.The collusion governance mechanism transforms from parallel to serial during data factor empowerment.The serial mode depends on data centres to reduce the pressure of regulation and traceability, coordinates information through data networks, and establishes accountability mechanisms to control collusion.Our results provide strategies to prevent CHMs collusion and support the high-quality development of the CHMSC.
