    Abstract

    Integrated supply chain finance (iSCF) is a portfolio of effective operating, financial, and risk mitigating practices and techniques within supply chains, which reflect strategic concerns of participating firm agents (decision makers) within the chain, and optimize not only the management of the working capital for liquidity, but also make effective use of assets for firm profitability and risk control. The main theory and research areas within iSCF are financing working capital in supply chains; financial hedging in support of supply chain operations; integrated risk management in supply chains; and supply chain contracts and risk management. This tutorial chapter will dedicate a section to each of these topics, and it will elucidate the foundational models and the key results in each of these areas.
