Synopsis
Supply Chain Finance is a contributed book looking at the two major perspectives of managing finance across the supply chain. The first is more short-term, focused on accounts payables and receivables. The second is a more overarching perspective, focused on working capital optimization in terms of inventory and asset management. It includes chapters from a variety of research perspectives, as well as from business and policymakers. The authors look at the benefits of the supply chain finance approach including reduction of working capital, access to more funding at lower costs, risk reduction, as well as an increase of trust, commitment, and profitability through the chain. Supply Chain Finance includes theory as well as practical case studies addressing advances in the area of supply chain finance. The editors and contributors look at how to design and implement supply chain finance in supply chains and examine what the future holds for this important area. Online supporting resources include self-test multiple-choice and essay questions for each chapter.

"Supply Chain Finance is the first comprehensive treatment of this topic that I've seen, and it comes at a perfect time as business is poised to move from hype to reality. The book provides an excellent compilation of leading thought from experts in the field, and it offers a wonderful blend of theory and practice, with great case studies. It's a must read for managers and academics interested in this area." * Morgan Swink, Executive Director of TCU Center for Supply Chain Innovation, US * "Supply Chain Finance is a great insight into supply chain finance (SCF) both from an academics and a practitioner perspective. The book provides a comprehensive view on the SCF definition and the research status quo before SCF concepts and applications are presented." * Daniel Vollath, Managing Director, Strategy, Operations, Sourcing and Procurement, Accenture, Germany * "This book provides a rich perspective on SCF, broadening the scope to embrace all solutions and to optimize working capital at supply chain level, balancing the academic and the managerial perspective. The various contributions provide different and complementary views on this broad landscape, providing the reader with rich insights and advanced knowledge." * Prof. Federico Caniato, Politecnico di Milano, Italy * "A book that is long overdue and not only for supply chain professionals to better understand the financial aspects of supply chain management, but certainly also for finance departments to understand the impact of supply chain management better. Supply chain management matters." * Prof. Britta Gammelgaard, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark * "Supply Chain Finance is a topic still in its infancy, despite its great relevance to both practitioners and researchers. The average level of knowledge of managers is still often limited, resulting in confusion about terms, definitions, areas of interest and impacts for different business units. This book certainly represents an excellent work of systematization of the existing knowledge, able to offer a clear picture of the historical evolution and of the practical implications of Supply Chain Finance. The ability to blend scientific and methodological rigor and practical impact is a major value. Through the illustration of successful business cases, the book illustrates, in an excellent way, the impacts in terms of supply chain management, cash flow management, risk management and accounting management." * Antonella Moretto, Assistant Professor, Politecnico di Milano, Italy *
