Supply Chain Finance: Generation and Growth of New Financing Approach

Abstract

As a new financing approach, supply chain finance is growing very rapidly, which makes it significant to understand supply chain finance more profoundly. This paper emphases on the literature study of supply chain finance over a decade and summarizes the generation and development of supply chain financein order to put theory into practice better. The growth phase of supply chain finance is further subdivided into four categories: supply chain finance based on overall supply chain, financing solution and technical support for supply chain finance and supply chain perspective from logistics service providers; enabling the researchers to understand it better for further development of this new financing approach.
