Abstract
This research aims to examine the pertinent attributes of supply chain networks that impact upstream supply chain financing, while also creating a model that elucidates these attributes from the perspective of buying companies during the implementation of supply chain financing. To achieve this, the study employs a comprehensive review of existing literature on supply chain financing, yielding insights into the relevant characteristics of supply chain networks that are influential in facilitating financing for upstream suppliers. Moreover, the study provides an extensive comprehension of these characteristics and their interdependencies, accompanied by exemplary approaches to specific configurations of these characteristics.
The findings of this study have significant implications for buying companies, as they offer a foundation for the development of more effective approaches to supplier financing at lower levels of the supply chain. By incorporating these identified characteristics, buying companies can enhance overall supply chain resilience and efficiency. Consequently, the study fills a critical knowledge gap by shedding light on the domain of supplier financing at lower levels of the supply chain, thereby contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of supply chain financing dynamics.
