Working capital variability and financial spillover effects in supply chains: An explorative network analysis

扫码查看
The purpose of this paper is to analyze how working capital is allocated in supply chain networks。 It investigates working capital fluctuations along supply chain networks。 Inter-organizational network data was collected by snowball sampling in Bloomberg Terminal's database。 The results suggest the existence of a financial spillover effect in the supply chain network and a mechanism that transmits working capital burden from customers to suppliers。 Interestingly, the financial spillover effect is "reset" in the midstream section of supply chain networks where cash-rich companies provide liquidity to its supply chain partners。 Similarly, inter-firm collaboration through the adoption of supply chain finance (SCF) solutions may reduce the cascading spillover reactions - the financial bullwhip effect - and stabilize a supply chain, network。
