Financial Geography I: Exploring FinTech – Maps and concepts
Get PDFIn the first of two reports on FinTech, I review definitions, roots and taxonomies of FinTech, survey studies charting FinTech development, and theoretical approaches to FinTech. Emerging empirical research shows a dynamic growth of FinTech characterized by heterogeneity and diversity. Ecosystems, financial ecologies, and digital platform economies are the most popular approaches to FinTech, and I argue that they can be used fruitfully in combination with more established concepts, such as networks and agglomeration. Overall, I show that FinTech research is in a state of flux concerning concepts and empirics, and highlight the potential of geography to tame the beast

Get PDFInformation technology (IT) innovation is rapidly reshaping organisations,
affecting fundamental aspects of their everyday business activities and processes. This
development is accompanied by benefits as well as challenges. In this article, we focus on a
specific distributed ledger IT called blockchain which has been heralded as possessing the
capability to radically transform a multitude of industries. However, there is a dearth of
research which has coalesced the important considerations that organisations should consider
prior to adopting blockchain technologies. Consequently, using innovation theory, which has
been extensively used to examine the adoption of IT in organisations, we identify salient
technological, organisational and environmental (TOE) considerations which influence the
adoption of blockchain by organisations. We anchor our discussion using the top three
organisational considerations which emerged from our research: top management support,
organisational readiness, and organisational support. We also provide an overview of the
blockchain concept and outline the advantages and potential use cases that organisations
contemplating adopting the technology can leverage.Peer reviewed2022-01-0
