This article investigates theory of agency as a theoretical underpinning in the field of supply chain finance. Specifically, through a hermeneutic approach, the authors examine the development of the theory, its postulations and assumptions, and its use in the field of supply chain finance. This leads to three conclusions: the theory is currently a...

Purpose Reverse factoring (RF) is one of the most prevalent supply chain finance (SCF) solutions. This study challenges the view that suppliers accept financially attractive reverse factoring offers (RFOs) and reject financially unattractive ones. Specifically, it focuses on small and medium enterprise (SME) suppliers and how transaction cost econo...

Purpose Logistics service providers (LSPs) have unique resources and capabilities that position them to deliver supply chain finance (SCF) solutions. The study aims to discuss and illustrate the necessary resources and process of value creation and capture of LSPs, potentially offering SCF solutions. Design/methodology/approach Relying on a theore...

With supply chain finance gaining more prominence in practice and drawing increasing attention from researchers, the question arises how this emerging discipline can build on existing theoretical conceptualisations. However, few studies have incorporated theoretical frameworks and there remains therefore a gap in literature. To fill this gap, the s...

Logistics service providers (LSPs) can create a more strategic position in supply chains for themselves or increase margins, by offering or supporting financial instruments. There is a scarcity of literature in Supply Chain Finance (SCF) on how financial instruments are developed before they are adopted, and on the LSP perspective. Via exploratory...

Whereas collaborative modes are seen as beneficial to supply chain management, albeit often assumed rather than proven, the appropriate use of financial constructs for supporting coordination across supply chains has been less developed. Moreover, there is growing consensus among academics and practitioners that the effectiveness of supply chain is...

The majority of Dutch SMEs do not benefit from potential advantages that Supply Chain Finance (SCF) can bring. This paper provides more insight into these dormant opportunities for SMEs supplying to mid-size organizations as well as possible barriers to adoption, taking the perspective of these mid-size buyers. We performed a multiple case-study am...

In this chapter we discuss the main impediments to the adoption of reverse factoring (RF) by suppliers in the logistics services business. Although the usage of RF is ascending, empirical evidence on RF and its implementation, especially from the point of view of suppliers, is scarce. The project reported in this chapter provides in-depth insights...
