LOGISTICS EFFICIENCY, SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE, AND FIRM-LEVEL FINANCIAL OUTCOMES: EVIDENCE FROM INDONESIA AND UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
This study examines how logistics efficiency influences firm-level financial outcomes in emerging markets by connecting logistics conditions to working capital, pricing, profitability, and the use of supply chain finance (SCF). The article compares Indonesia and Uzbekistan in order to show how different logistics geographies and macroeconomic conditions shape finance-related perceptions.
