Abstract :
The paper inspects the impacts of the integrated logistics and finance service (LFS) from the 3PL firm on the decisions and performance of agents in a supply chain with capital constraints. We introduce a monopolistic and competitive financial market to highlight the motivation of LFS. The paper shows under the financial service from the monopolistic financial market, the retail has to incorporate the operations and financial decisions to achieve her optimal payoff, but the competitive financial market could decouple the budget-constrained retailer´s operations and financial decision. Our results show that the asymmetric information address the motivation of LFS, and LFS can create value in a budget-constrained supply chain.
