How do financial constraints and financing costs affect inventories? An empirical supply chain perspective

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the interplay between a firm’s financial situation and its inventory ownership in a single-firm and a two-firm perspective. Design/methodology/approach The analysis uses different secondary data sources to quantify the effect of both financial constraints and cost of capital on inventory holdings of public US firms. The authors first adopt a single-firm perspective and analyze whether financial constraints and cost of capital do generally affect the amount of … Show more

“…Similarly to supply lead time, the average factor score for these practices is higher in LP 2 companies, indicating that their implementation may be shallower in companies that claim significant improvements on costs but inefficiently address those throughout CSRM. Hoberg et al (2017) argue that sometimes a closer relationship between customers and suppliers may imply maintaining business regardless of practiced prices. In fact, companies that highly adopt these practices shift their approach with customers and suppliers from the usual trading mentality to a collaborative partnership, in which additional aspects are taken into consideration besides costs, such as efforts on concurrent product development, reinforcement of communication and information sharing, long-term cooperation and commitment, etc.…”

“…Lainez, Puigjaner and Reklaitis presented a model with a focus on the process operations and the product development pipeline management problem in which financial aspects, i.e. tax rate, debts, working capital, the accounts payable and the accounts receivable, are also considered (Hoberg et al, 2017). Sodhi and Tang (2009) extended the existing modeling by regarding the financial considerations through ALM.…”

“…banks), suppliers and customers (Wuttke et al, 2013). Now some companies such as Intel, General Electric and Deutz have considered the financial aspects and have integrated financial and physical flows (Hoberg et al, 2017). Intel asserts integration of physical goods flows and financial issues through a clear system of information.…”

“…This inconclusiveness joins the finding of Lai (2006) which indicates the need of finding new calculation of the cost of capital for operations models will be helpful in the future research. Recent effort of Hoberg et al (2017) reveals the interplay between a firm's financial situation and its inventory ownership from single-and two-firm perspectives. In their empirical study, the authors propose a refined formulation of the cost of capital and points out that higher costs of capital are weakly associated with lower inventories.…”
