The empirical test results show that all of demand urgency, industry pressure and government support are the essential factors that affect the further diffusion of SCF adoption. Specially, demand urgency is the core condition in the antecedent configurations of SMEs to adopt SCF. Interestingly, technical compatibility and resource readiness have no significant impact on the adoption of SCF, but they play an important role in the antecedent configuration of SCF adoption combined with other factors.
