“…In previous studies, adopters are assumed to be the focal companies that employ financial solutions as financially oriented approaches to improve the financial performance of themselves or upstream/downstream supply chain. Thus, financial attractiveness is defined as the ability of adopters to withstand pressure on net operating working capital (NOWC) and negotiate interest collar with financial institutions [72,73]. However, the current research defines financial attractiveness according to different objectives-financial attractiveness toward cooperative institutions and toward customers.…”

“…Committing to sustainability can lead to increased collaboration capability in the supply chain, which results in its improved sustainable performance [39]. SCF can also improve the strength of supply chain links, including great collaboration capability [39,56,72]. Environmental benefit brought by ASCF solutions is achieved by providing designated purchase credit to farmer suppliers to encourage them to purchase environmentally friendly materials.…”

Sustainability and agricultural finance are two important issues attracting attention from industry and academia. This research adopts an in-depth case study methodology to investigate the agricultural finance initiatives of Alibaba Group, and explores how the agricultural finance practices of an e-commerce platform facilitate its sustainability goal. A reference framework is proposed to prove the adoption of agricultural finance. The influence of three moderating variables, namely, IT support, financial attractiveness, and cooperation with other entities, is analyzed. We find that advanced IT support and financial attractiveness are two indispensable enablers for agricultural finance initiatives, and collaboration with other entities is necessary in adopting agricultural supply chain finance.

“…Exceptions include the FSCM being considered same as SCF and SCF being limited in scope by considering it as financing instrument such as Reverse Factoring [25] and Logistics Financing (LF) [26]. The financial literature on short-term financing in SC revolves around the TC [10] and SCF is considered as an extended version of TC [1,3,25,27,28]. These points make it immensely essential to see SCF also through the lens of TC.…”

“…Another major inhibitor includes the policies, government laws and regulations that mainly hinders the cross-border transactions due to multiple currencies, different languages and multiple legal jurisdictions and makes processes like Know Your Customers (KYC) and AntiMoney Laundering (AML) more complicated. From the buyer's perspective, the need to change the internal process, the difficulty to get suppliers on board, lack of common standards, organisational culture, introduction timing, payments terms (interest rate) and conflicts of interest (creditworthiness and risk-adjusted interest rates) are the major inhibitors for adopting SCF [3,43,45,46].…”

“…By aligning these flows, SCF not only optimises the finances and financing processes, but it also enhances the integration among customers, suppliers and service providers. SCF increases the value of all participating organisations [2] and creates an alternative source of competitive advantage [3]. It also plays a crucial role to correlate SC metrics with the financial metrics in order to have a tight integration between physical operations, exchange of data and information and injections of liquidity [4].…”

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) aims at managing the financial flows along the supply chain with an objective of maximising the creation and delivery of financial services. The literature on SCF is complex and focuses on SCF actors, SCF instruments and supply chain processes. However, the connection between these elements is weak, and the configurations of actors, instruments and processes that maximises financial value creation is unclear. In the light of this gap, this article aims at reviewing the literature on SCF, with a specific focus on actors, instruments, coordination, performance of processes and their interrelation. A systematic approach has been taken to the literature review, which ensures it is auditable and repeatable. The selection criteria are clearly aligned with the review questions and relevant information is extracted from the selected papers and synthesised into a set of constructs. Furthermore, the constructs are used to develop a conceptual framework to align SCF actors and instruments along with the contextual factors.

This study employs the Stackelberg game model to explore an innovative financing model where the retailer directly borrows from the bank under conditions of symmetric information. Diverging from traditional research, this study uniquely incorporates the concept of the margin rate into the decentralised decision analysis among retailer, supplier, and bank. The finding indicates that the capital of the retailer and margin rate significantly influence financing decisions within the supply chain, thereby impacting profitability for all stakeholders. Specifically, we find that the margin rate plays a crucial role in optimising retailer financing decisions, supplier pricing strategies, and bank risk management. These insights offer a fresh perspective for banks to establish appropriate margin rates and loan interest rates, effectively managing loan risks and maximising supply chain profitability.
