We conduct this multiple-case study of supply chain finance which has been mainly conducted by the focal firms from each supply chain.We choose focal firms which provide services for SMEs in agriculture,manufacturing and circulation industries as sample firms and explore the role that SMEs' competence and network embeddedness play in realizing supply chain finance performance.This study found that supply chain finance is not for any SMEs,but certain ones with competence and necessary network embeddedness.Focal firms will complement for SMEs' lack of both structural and relational embeddedness.In addition,the interaction of SMEs' competence and network embeddedness will jointly improve the supply chain finance performance.%针对现阶段由核心企业主导的供应链金融活动进行多案例研究.通过选取服务于农业、制造业和流通业中小企业的3家核心企业作为样本,对中小企业竞争力和网络嵌入性在实现供应链金融绩效中的作用进行探讨.研究发现,供应链金融不是针对任意中小企业,而是具有一定竞争力和维持必要网络嵌入性的中小企业;核心企业能够对中小企业在结构嵌入性和关系嵌入性上的不足形成补充;中小企业竞争力和网络嵌入性的交互共同促进了供应链金融绩效的提高.
