【内容介绍】:
Financing a startup firm is always challenging, especially when the market is highly uncertain. In this talk, we study the problem from supply chain perspective and consider the supply chain with one supplier and one retailer (a startup), where the retailer sells to an uncertain market. The retailer is capital-constrained, and may need to either use bank loans or trade credits for both procurement and marketing, or use trade credits for procurement and bank loans for marketing. We study how the retailer should make the operational and financial decisions jointly, and how the retailer’s operational decision is influenced by the financial channel. Furthermore, given that a larger market share is desirable for the supplier, we study whether the supplier is willing to provide trade credits for the retailer’s procurement, and/or whether to lend cash to the retailer to fund the marketing effort.
