However, we have a rather limited understanding of factors affecting lenders' decision making in this context, which is characterized as high risk and prosocial in...

Electronic supply chain management (eSCM) has become a popular Web-based seamless supply chain process. Given that Chinese firms are important parts of global supply chains, it is imperative to investigate factors that would affect eSCM adoption in China. In this study, we examine the impact of...
