Abstract
This chapter provides a structured overview of supply chain finance (SCF), presenting both theoretical and practical insights. We discuss the diverse scopes of SCF and propose categorization approaches to contextualize application. Following this, the chapter examines various supply chain financing instruments, elaborating their mechanisms within a conceptual framework. Our exploration then shifts to the effects and obstacles associated with SCF implementation. The chapter concludes by outlining promising research directions, aiming to inspire further advancements in the field. This comprehensive approach not only highlights the current state of SCF but also sets the stage for future exploration and innovation in addressing financial constraints in supply chains.
