投资于产品质量以实现未来增长,或者保存现金流以避免破产,是许多资本受限的初创公司面临的一个重要权衡。本文提出了一个两阶段模型,在这个模型中,创业公司必须在每个阶段结束时获得高于生存阈值的利润。考虑到需求质量响应度(DRQ)的不确定性、市场冲击和生存阈值的影响,建立了一种基于价格设定和质量投资的破产风险套期保值模型。此外,本文还强调了对创业公司在追求利润和追求生存两种目标下的经营决策进行识别的必要性。结果表明,在随机环境下,追求利润的初创公司会比确定性情况下设定更低(更高)的价格并投资更低(更高)的质量,从而对质量进行保守(激进)投资,而追求生存的初创公司总是将其价格与确定性情况下的质量挂钩。正向。此外,当DRQ均值或方差增大时,追求利润的创业公司总是会提高质量投资,而当DRQ均值增大到一定程度或方差增大时,追求生存的创业公司总是会降低质量投资。其他因素也进行了审查。最后,本文对创业公司在资本约束下的优质投资策略提供了一定的指导。
Investing in product quality for future growths or conserving cash flow to avoid bankruptcy is an important trade-off faced by many capital-constrained startups. Focusing on the trade-off, this paper proposes a two-stage model where a startup firm must earn profit above the survival threshold by the end of every stage. Considering impacts of the uncertainty of demand responsiveness to quality (DRQ), market shocks, and survival threshold, a hedge with price setting and quality investing is established against the bankruptcy risk. Besides, this paper stresses the necessity of identifying the operational decisions of startups under both profit-seeking and survival-seeking objectives. Results illustrate that, under stochastic environment, the profit-seeking startup makes conservative (aggressive) investment on quality by setting lower (higher) price and investing in lower (higher) quality than the deterministic case, while the survival-seeking startup always sets its price linked to quality in positive direction. In addition, the profit-seeking startup always improves its investment on quality when either the mean or the variance of DRQ increase, while the survival-seeking startup reduces its investment when either the mean of DRQ increases to a certain level or the variance of DRQ increases. Other factors are also examined. Finally, this paper provides the startup managers some guidance on the quality investing strategy under capital constraints.
