The cost of financing for SMEs has decreased with the rise of supply chain finance. Risk originates from uncertainty. Uncertainty is caused by both the internal and external ecological environments. Risk control is deficient in theory and practice due to the development of a diversified supply chain finance. Collecting, analyzing, and monitoring both internal supply chain and environmental data can significantly enhance supply chain risk management using big data technology and analytical techniques.
