Abstract
The supply chain finance literature emphasises the integrated management of financial supply chains. In recent years, supply chain finance practices for the supply side gained increasing attention in research and practice. Previous studies mainly underline benefits for all involved actors including suppliers. Still, suppliers are often reluctant to commit to supply chain finance practices resulting in increased implementation costs and reduced overall application rates. Initial studies start to address this issue but comprise little supplier-oriented, empirical data. Therefore, this paper analyses predictors and outcomes - including possible disadvantages - of a supplier's participation in supply chain finance practices. A survey is conducted with 115 Swiss companies to identify relevant relationship-related and financial factors. The findings are applied to derive implications whether to offer SCF practices to specific suppliers and how to approach them. Thereby, the paper enhances previous supply chain finance literature with detailed insights into the supplier's perspective.
