Cooperative financing has been used commonly by small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) for years, however, few papers have investigated the efficacy of cooperative financing in operations literature. In this paper, we consider two capital-constrained firms finance their orders under non-cooperative and cooperative financing mode. Under non-cooperative financing mode, we formulate a stylized model to illustrate the financing and ordering decisions. For the cooperative financing mode, we derive a two-stage decentralized model in which firms make unilateral order decisions based on prior cooperative agreements as to how the additional benefits that result from joint liability. We characterize the equilibrium solutions for cooperative financing mode. We show that the firm become more aggressive in ordering as the shared risk goes up. We further compare the two financing mode from the perspective of firm and bank. Our analysis shows that the choice of financing mode is completely determined by a two-threshold policy in regards to the firm's initial cash level and interest rate. Nevertheless, the cooperative financing mode becomes a “win-win” arrangement for the bank and the firms as long as the interest rate is within a reasonable region. We also demonstrate the impacts of initial capital, retail price, product cost, financing cost and demand variability on the firm’s operating decision and expected end-period cash level. Our model is generalized to the case of the multiple firms and the interest rates endogenously charged by the bank. (Joint work with Cao Bin, Chen Xin, Zhou Yongwu) | |
