Abstract

Much of the extant scholarship in supply chain management (SCM) has had a developed world focus, although most of the global population resides outside this area. SCM scholars are now recognizing this limitation in the coverage of our communities' research. They have recognized that the logistical challenges of getting products to these underserved markets at the bottom of the economic pyramid (BOP) may be fundamentally different from the “big box” mindset that prevails in the west. There is growing recognition that supply chain entrepreneurship is critical to the logistics and physical distribution systems that can get products to such markets in a cost-effective manner. Yet, such entrepreneurs, who are often small, and weakly integrated into the global economy, face several challenges in their daily business. Many of them rely on microfinance to fund their business. Yet, the microfinance model itself is changing into a web-supported crowdfunded model. The current study investigates how an entrepreneur's circumstances with regard to their borrowing status as a first-time borrower, and their intent with regard to business expansion influence their success in fundraising on a crowdfunding platform. Results reveal that BOP entrepreneurs who are “repeat borrowers” have difficulty in obtaining funding for their business plans.

关于自给自足型农村独立零售商和众筹小额信贷——亲社会贷款、推动和意外后果
供应链管理(SCM)领域的大部分现有学术研究都以发达国家为重点,尽管全球大部分人口都居住在这一地区之外。供应链管理学者现在认识到了我们研究领域的这一局限性。他们认识到,将产品运往经济金字塔底层(BOP)这些服务不足的市场所面临的物流挑战可能与西方盛行的 "大箱子 "思维有着本质区别。越来越多的人认识到,供应链创业对于物流和实体分销系统至关重要,而物流和实体分销系统能够以具有成本效益的方式将产品运往这些市场。然而,这些企业家往往规模较小,融入全球经济的程度较低,在日常经营中面临着一些挑战。他们中的许多人都依靠小额信贷为自己的企业提供资金。然而,小额贷款模式本身正在向网络支持的众筹模式转变。本研究调查了创业者作为首次借款人的借款情况以及他们扩大业务的意向如何影响他们在众筹平台上的筹款成功。结果显示,作为 "重复借款人 "的 BOP 创业者很难为其商业计划获得资金。
