title = "Theory of Agency in Supply Chain Finance: Taking a Hermeneutic Approach",
abstract = "This article investigates theory of agency as a theoretical underpinning in the field of supply chain finance. Specifically, through a hermeneutic approach, the authors examine the development of the theory, its postulations and assumptions, and its use in the field of supply chain finance. This leads to three conclusions: the theory is currently adopted rather superficially; there is potential for further developments by investigating non-standard configurations; and there is an increasingly relevant set of articles in supply chain finance that seems to be positioned within the boundaries of the theory of agency but makes no mention of it.",
