Abstract
Supply chain financial services have been studied for years. However, the literatures have been silent on comparative research of every financial model, especially the model of third party logistics (3PL) firms as credit providers in Cash-strapped supply chains. This paper investigates an extended supply chain model with a Cash-strapped retailer, a supplier, a bank, and a 3PL firm, in which the retailer has insufficient initial budget and may borrow or obtain trade credit from bank, supplier, or a 3PL firm. Our analysis indicates that the 3PL firm model yields higher profits not only for the 3PL firm but also for the supplier, the retailer, and the entire supply chain.
