Abstract
Multi-tier Supply Chain Financing (MTSCF) has been identified as a compelling solution to support the growth and development of small and cash-strapped suppliers, particularly in developing countries. Currently, the research focus on MTSCF is primarily on its technological function, which is based on blockchain technology. However, from a technology-agnostic perspective, MTSCF combines multi-tiered supply chain management with the concept of SCF, which essentially describes the approaches of extending financing mechanisms to the deeper levels of supply chains. In this presentation, existing MTSCF mechanisms are differentiated to develop a systematic framework that can be used to categorize the mechanisms. In this way, the basis for further developing innovative MTSCF solutions is provided
