The benefits of supply chain finance: a value assessment model

This paper proposes a value assessment model for supply chain finance solutions. Grounding on the critical analysis of extant scientific literature and on empirical evidence from a triadic case study (buyer, supplier, financial provider), the model highlights: (1) benefit items clustered into four performance categories (financial, economic, intangible, operational); (2) benefit partition and relative magnitude between the buyer and the supplier company; (3) contextual drivers affecting the presence/relevance of benefits perceived, addressing both company specific and relationship specific variables.
