Model analysis of smart supply chain finance of platform-based enterprises under government supervision

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult and expensive for medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to finance. In this context, relying on the network platform, smart supply chain finance effectively solves financing problems for small and SMEs. However, in the development of smart supply chain finance, there are still some problems such as unstable willingness of SMEs to participate in financing, difficulty in determining the optimal development mode of platform-based core enterprises and lack of appropriate regulatory measures. Based on whether the network platform can use its own capitals for lending, this study introduces two smart supply chain financial models (the dominant and cooperation models of platform-based core enterprises) to solve the above problems. In this study, we construct two evolutionary game models: the tripartite model, including government, platform-based core enterprises, and SMEs, and the quadrilateral model, including government, financial institutions, platform-based core enterprises, and SMEs. This study presents the evolution and stability strategies of each participant under different modes. In addition, we discuss the willingness of platforms to choose different modes and corresponding government supervision measures. This study offers several important conclusions. (1) Core enterprises that do not have the conditions to build a highly intelligent platform choose the cooperation model; otherwise, they will preferentially choose the dominant mode. (2) Under the dominant mode, the stable development of smart supply chain finance must rely on strict government supervision. (3) By adjusting the scope of tax rates and subsidies, the government can control the trend of mutual transformation of the two modes, so that the dominant mode and the cooperative mode can develop in a balanced way in the market.

Manufacturer Encroachment with Consumer Digital Privacy

“…Under Strategy N , the manufacturer's revenue is derived from only distributing products to the retailer. Without loss of generality, the manufacturer's unit production cost is normalized to zero (Cao et al, 2023;Liu et al, 2024). Furthermore, because of the heterogeneity in media richness between channels, the manufacturer pays different costs for providing physical or digital channels, and the cost follows the form of a linear function (Fainmesser et al, 2023;Valletti & Wu, 2020),…”

Research on the Impact of New Parts Price Increase on the Stability of Closed-Loop Supply Chain

“…In other words, during the operation of the closed-loop supply chain, the government's rewards and punishments will be adjusted in real time with the different behaviors of the member enterprises in the closed-loop supply chain. Therefore, based on the practice of Liu [49], this paper sets the dynamic reward and punishment functions of M government fines for low-green production, government subsidy factor M, government subsidy factor R, and government subsidy factor T as: l = (1 − α) * 8000, g M = 0.3 * α + 0.1, g R = 0.2 * β, and g T = 0.3 * γ + 0.2, respectively. On the basis of the dynamic reward and punishment mechanism of the government and referring to the relevant literature [23], a closed-loop supply chain material flow and capital flow system dynamics flow diagram module is constructed using the Vensim DSS software, as shown in Figure 1.…”

Strategic decision making in live streaming e-commerce through tripartite evolutionary game analysis

“…Consumers often find it challenging to demand after-sales solutions from the streamers or merchants, resulting in a low probability of successful self-initiated rights protection, issues in live streaming e-commerce such as lagging legal systems, distorted regulation, and obstacles in dispute resolution mechanisms, along with consumers’ limited understanding, significantly impact their rights [ 10 – 12 ]. Thus, spreading awareness about consumer rights and providing effective communication tools are vital.…”
