Background: The cognitive goal of the article is to systematize the knowledge in the field of Supply Chain Finance (SCF) in the context of the leading contemporary trends and challenges of Supply Chain Management (SCM). For the purposes of the research objective, Walmart was selected for the case study as a model implementation example. In the authors' assessment, there is a need to discuss and organize knowledge about the co-existence of SCF with modern solutions such as sustainable finance or blockchain technology. The empirical goal is to assess the sustainable supply chain finances management (SSCF) in terms of shaping the financial condition of the company and its position on the market. Methods: To achieve the research objective, it was necessary to critically assess the present SCF literature and actual trends implemented in companies, which was done using case study method. The case study form was chosen due to the limited state of knowledge in a research area and the selected company is a precursor in this aspect. The research procedure consisted of: data collection, data analysis, formulating generalizations, confronting the literature, processing of generalizations and study closure. Results: Conducted research helped to develop the existing theory and systematize effects and identify potential opportunities from implementing sustainable supply chain finances management based on blockchain technology. Analysis of financial data proved that benefits exceed implementation costs. Conclusions: First, it was possible to develop an open-ended SCF benefit set, distinguished on the basis of varied literature. Second, implementing blockchain technology in the supply chain and drive to make it sustainable can be complementary activities. In summary, the authors formulate recommendations for other companies and indicate the direction of further research. (original abstract)

W ocenie autorek istnieje potrzeba zwrócenia uwagi oraz uporządkowania wiedzy w zakresie współistnienia zarządzania finansami łańcucha dostaw z nowoczesnymi rozwiązaniami, takimi jak zrównoważone finanse, czy technologia blockchain. Metody: W ramach realizacji celu konieczna była krytyczna ocena obecnego dorobku literatury z zakresu SCF oraz aktualnych trendów wdrażanych w przedsiębiorstwach. Do osiągnięcia celu badawczego posłużono się studium przypadku przedsiębiorstwa Walmart, które pozwoli rozwinąć istniejącą teorię i dokładniej wyjaśnić kwestię osiąganych korzyści z wykorzystania technologii blockchain i zrównoważonych finansów do zarządzania łańcuchem dostaw. Posłużenie się studium przypadku jest uzasadnione ze względu na niewielki stan wiedzy w danym obszarze badań, a wybrana firma jest w tym aspekcie prekursorem. Procedura badawcza składała się z: gromadzenia danych, analizy danych, sformułowania uogólnień, konfrontacji z literaturą, opracowania uogólnień i zamknięcia badania. Cel: Celem poznawczym artykułu jest usystematyzowanie wiedzy z zakresu Supply Chain Finance (SCF) w kontekście wiodących współczesnych trendów i wyzwań Supply Chain Management (SCM). Celem empirycznym jest analiza potencjalnych korzyści dla przedsiębiorstw z zarządzania zrównoważonym rozwojem finansów łańcucha dostaw. Wnioski: Po pierwsze, możliwe było opracowanie zespołu korzyści służących do zarządzania finansami łańcucha dostaw. Zbiór ten wyróżniono na podstawie zróżnicowanej literatury i nie ma on charakteru zamkniętego. Po drugie, wdrożenie technologii blockchain w łańcuchu dostaw i dążenie do jego zrównoważania mogą być działaniami komplementarnymi. Podsumowując przeprowadzone rozważania, autorki formułują rekomendacje dla innych przedsiębiorstw i wskazują na kierunek dalszych badań. (abstrakt oryginalny)
