本文以中国最大的电子商务平台之一的JD.com为例，展示了该在线零售商如何通过供应链金融（SCF）实践来加速供应链内的协作，从而增强其竞争优势。本研究以实地访谈为基础，探讨企业采用供应链管理的动机与促成因素。结果表明，京东采用供应链管理主要是为了强化其生态系统，获得竞争优势。JD基于资源观和动态能力观，构建了一个迭代过程来进行SCF实践。有利因素，主要是金融技术和议价能力，在决策过程中发挥着关键作用。金融科技的发展通过提高透明度和效率促进了数字化和资本化进程，而议价能力影响了产品化进程。采用SCF实践有助于京东与供应链合作伙伴建立更紧密的伙伴关系，提高自身的竞争优势。
This paper presents a case study on JD.com, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in China, to demonstrate how this online retailer enhances its competitive advantage by employing supply chain finance (SCF) practices to accelerate collaboration within the supply chain. Based on field interviews, this study investigates motivations and enabling factors for SCF adoption. Results show that JD adopts SCF mainly to strengthen its ecosystem and attain competitive advantage. In the sight of resource-based view and dynamic capability, JD builds an iterative process to conduct SCF practice. Enabling factors, mainly financial technology (fintech) and bargaining power, play critical roles in the decision-making process. The development of fintech facilitates the digitalization and capitalization process by improving transparency and efficiency while bargaining power influences the productization process. The adoption of SCF practice helps JD build closer partnership with supply chain partners and improves its own competitive advantage.
