基于企业生命周期的资本结构决策

基于企业生命周期的资本结构决策(12700字)
摘 要：企业的资本结构决策是企业筹资管理的一个核心问题。企业资本结构的决定因素有很多，其中，企业不同生命周期对资本结构决策也有较大影响。本文阐述了资本结构和企业生命周期的概念及其特点，将企业生命周期与资本结构结合起来，提出了企业生命周期不同阶段的资本结构决策思路。在初生期，企业想通过外界筹措资金的可能性相对较小，企业以风险投资也就是权益资本为主；成长期中，债务资本由于各种条件的成熟会增加很快，高于权益资本的增长速度，此时资本结构中债务资本的比例应略高于权益资本的比例；成熟期中，企业组织结构完善，但利润增长缓慢，此时的企业不可过度举债，应采取较为稳定的财务政策；衰退期中，企业资金紧缺，竞争能力下降，应适当缩小资本规模而不宜有大的融资行为。
