Performance impact of collaborative working capital management approaches: Empirical evidence from triadic supply chain sections

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance impact of collaborative working capital management (WCM) approaches. The results indicate that a relationship between collaborative WCM approaches and supply chain performance exists, but the direction and power of this relationship varies between the used proxies and the estimated performance metrics. The paper at hand contributes to SCF-related research by validating several proxy variables. Several practical implications are derived, demonstrating how companies can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the financial supply chain network in which they operate.
