“…Therefore, broker firms have more incentives to delay forwarding the payment of the premiums to the insurance company than small broker firms, which could suffer financial distress in the event of an incident. Consistent with this evidence, several authors find that brokers' advisory services are influenced to some degree by firm size and quality service (Rose, 1999;Nguyen et al, 2018;Owusu-Sekyere & Kotey, 2019).…”

Spanish legislation on insurance and reinsurance mediation stipulates that intermediary can only receive commissions and fees for the management of their policies and prohibits any other form of remuneration. However, it is possible that financial intermediaries who manage larger risks wait until the end of the legal deadline to settle with insurance companies. This common practice in the insurance market hides additional remuneration in defiance of the law. It also means that the risk is not covered within the prescribed period and would, involve a commercial payment to the client, and, on the other hand, affect sustainable claims management.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the role of FinTech companies in SCF. The application of digital technology in supply chain activities has facilitated the evolution of supply chain finance (SCF) to a new level. However, how financial technology (FinTech) companies promote this evolution has not been thoroughly examined. Design/methodology/approach This research used the multiple-case study approach and social network analysis method to explore how FinTech companies influence SCF networks. Findings The results reveal that FinTech companies play the crucial role of a signaling intermediary by facilitating interactions among relevant parties, accelerating the flow of information and reducing information asymmetry arising from data smog. Moreover, FinTech companies make SCF information networks more equitable and promote the performance of SCF. Originality/value This study deepens the conversation at the nexus of signal theory and SCF and provides managerial implications for alleviating information asymmetry between borrowers and lenders to solve the difficulty and high-cost problems of obtaining financing of small- and medium-sized enterprises.

“…Some of these services are established firms, like LexisNexis and Reuters; others serve communities of practice in a non profit way, like www.isworld.org; and still others are ways for organizations to bundle their content and improve communications with internally and externally interested people (like www.vatican.va). Besides of a viable business model, an information service needs processes to acquire, process, and disseminate information on behalf of others (Rose, 1999).…”

“…Many information services in practice have cost coverage problems, have poor levels of content maintenance, or ceased to exist soon after an initial success (Chyi and Sylvie, 2000; Picard, 2000). This indicates that it is not self‐explanatory how an information service should cope with the challenges of developing the business models, process models, infrastructures for handling content, content use, and revenues of information services (Picard, 2000; Rose, 1999; Shapiro and Varian, 1999; Womack, 2002). The large amount of design options and the lack of a theory for information services design make information services design challenging.…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to give a structured literature review, design concepts, and research propositions related to a product-oriented design theory for information services. Information services facilitate the exchange of information goods with or without transforming these goods. Exemplar information services are e-publishing, electronic communities-of-practice, and management reporting. The importance of information services in the current economy merits the development of an explicit product-and process-oriented design theory. Design/methodology/approach -This article focuses on the product-oriented design theory by applying Walls et al.'s framework. A product-oriented design theory of information services identifies relevant descriptive and explanatory insights (i.e. content, use, value, and revenue), meta-requirements, and meta-designs. The paper describes design problems for information services, and gives key requirements for information services. Next, it describes the information, organizational and information technological components of an information service, and identifies at least four information service architectures. Finally, it gives research hypotheses, research ideas, and discusses practical implications. Findings -The results form a product-oriented design theory for information services. The paper gives a structured way for practitioners to analyze information service design challenges, and suggestions are given for requirements and design decisions on three aspects (content, use feature, and revenue). Originality/value -Given the previously fragmented nature of the literature, this paper gives new opportunities for research and practice.
