Abstract

"Insufficient access to capital is one of the primary reasons for failure of existing and emerging businesses. This research investigates new coordination mechanisms for supply chains with one or more members under capital constraint. Supply chain profit and efficiency models are developed and optimized under different financing scenarios to explore the conditions that govern optimality. Coordination techniques are employed to make the financing agreement equitable for all supply chain members."
