Grading Basis: Graded

Supply Chain Finance (SCF) involves the use of financing and risk mitigation practices and techniques to optimize the management of the working capital and liquidity invested in supply chain processes and transactions. Supply chain finance is an increasingly important subject that brings new opportunities and challenges to businesses, as companies extend their supply chains in an environment of restricted supply of credit in different geographies and adopt various innovative SCF approaches. To provide a comprehensive understanding of the theories and practices of SCF, this course will offer a mixed pool of theory concepts, application tools, simulation games, and case studies. Among the topics explored are working capital management, inventory financing, financial hedging, trade credit, factoring and reverse factoring, SCF instruments, accounting regulation, fintech innovation, blockchain technology, and sustainable SCF.
