Research On Supply Chain Co-financing In Budget-constrained Supply Chain

Theoretical research and practical application on current supply chain financingare based on supply chain in which there is a core enterprise and SMEs conductbusiness directly with the core enterprise. There are many SMEs which are not in asupply chain which has the core enterprise or don’t directly conduct business with thecore enterprise. Supply chain finance is also urgent and important for these SMEs.On the basis of detailed analysis of three modes of supply chain financing andtheir operation process, supply chain co-financing mode and its operation process areproposed. After qualitative analysis of its risk and quantitative analysis through agame theory model, supply chain co-financing is proved to be feasible. The resultsalso prove that supply chain financing business can break through the dependence ofthe core enterprise. Based on real business dealings and appropriate guaranteecontracts, SMEs on the same supply chain’s upstream and downstream can meet therequirements of lending institutions’ risk control and achieve co-financing. Then,contract model of supply chain co-financing is built on the basis of Stackelberg gamemodel. Each party’s decision-making process is analyzed in detail according to themathematical derivation. Finally, the numerical example displays decision-makingprocess of contract parameters in the supply chain co-financing and contractparameters’ influence on each party’s expected profit. The results indicate that supplychain co-financing can improve the overall effectiveness of the supply chain.
