Competitively priced bank loans are available, and the failure of loan repayment leads to bankruptcy, where default costs may include variable (proportional to rm’s sales) and xed costs. Without default costs, it is known that simple contracts (e.g., revenue-sharing, buyback and quantity discount) can coordinate and allocate prots arbi- trarily in the chain. With only variable default costs, buyback contracts remain coordinating and equivalent to rev enu e-sharing contracts, but are pare to dominated by rev enu e-sharing contract s when xed default costs are present. Thus, for general bankruptcy costs, contracts without buyback terms are of most interest. Quantity discount contracts fail to coordinate the supply chain, since a necessary condition for coordination is to propor tiona lly reallocate debt oblig atio ns within the channel . With only var iable defaul t costs and with high xed default costs exhibiting economies of scale, revenue-sharing contracts with working capital coordination continue to coordinate the chain. Unexpectedly, with xed default costs and no economies of scale, the decentralized supply chain under a revenue-sharing contract with working capital coordination might have higher expected prot than the centralized chain. Our results provide support for the use of revenue-sharing contracts with working capital coordination for decentralized management of supply chains when there are bankruptcy risks and default costs.

Introduction It is not uncommon in a supply chain that either the supplier and/or the retailer is the subsidiary of the other or they are both subsidiaries of the same parent company .
