“…Most of these papers specifically research single aspects of FinTech like electronic marketplaces or certain industries or countries or technologies (e.g., IoT). Only a few papers develop a more comprehensive view like the paper on "sustainable supply chain finance: towards a research agenda," which conducts a literature analysis and shows future areas of research for the field of sustainable supply chain finance [27].…”

How Green FinTech Can Alleviate the Impact of Climate Change—The Case of Switzerland

2020

The financial services industry is currently undergoing a major transformation, with digitization and sustainability being the core drivers. While both concepts have been researched in recent years, their intersection, often conceived as “green FinTech,” remains under-determined. Therefore, this paper contributes to this important discussion about green FinTech by, first, synthesizing the relevant literature systematically. Second, it shows the results of an empirical, in-depth analysis of the Swiss FinTech landscape both in terms of green FinTech startups as well as the services offered by the incumbents. The research results show that literature in this new domain has only emerged recently, is mostly characterized by a specific focus on isolated aspects of green FinTech and does not provide a comprehensive perspective on the topic yet. In addition, the results from the literature and the market analysis indicate that green FinTech has an impact along the whole value chain of financial services covering customer-to-customer (c2c), business-to-customer (b2c), and business-to-business (b2b) services. Today the field is predominantly captured by startup companies in contrast to the incumbents whose solutions are still rare.

“…Li et al [36] believe SSCF to be an operational framework that not only emphasizes the logistics, information flow, and capital flow of each enterprise in the supply chain, but also influences the operation of other enterprises through positive externalities in the economic, environmental, and social subsystems. SSCF creates environmental, social, and economic benefits for all stakeholders in a way that minimizes negative impacts [37]. SSCF is reflected in two aspects: on one hand, SCF providers should consider environmental, social, and economic sustainability, while on the other hand, establish financial inclusion based on SCF that radiates throughout the chain to achieve SSCF [9].…”

Identifying and Predicting the Credit Risk of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Sustainable Supply Chain Finance: Evidence from China

et al. 2021

COVID-19 has created a strong demand for supply chain finance (SCF) for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, the rapid development of SCF leads to more complex credit risks. How to effectively discriminate and manage SMEs to reduce credit risk has become one of the most critical issues in SCF. In addition, sustainable SCF (SSCF) has received increasing attention, and credit risk management is important to achieve SSCF. Therefore, it is significant to identify the key factors influencing the credit risk of SMEs and construct a prediction model to promote SSCF. This study uses the lasso-logistic model to identify factors influencing the credit risk of SMEs and to predict the credit risk of SMEs. The empirical results show that (i) the key factors influencing SMEs’ credit risk include six variables—the matching degree of order data, ratio of contract enforcement, number of contract defaults, degree of business concentration, and number of administrative penalties; and (ii) the lasso-logistic model can identify the key factors influencing credit risk and have a better prediction performance. Moreover, transaction credit and reputation supervision significantly influence the credit risk of SMEs.

“…Academic interest in SCF is increasing, and several literature reviews of the topic have been conducted. Some aim to identify the main research themes by categorising studies (Liu et al, 2015;Gelsomino et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2018), and others focus on developing conceptual frameworks for the implementation of SCF (Bals, 2019;Jia et al, 2020a;Jia et al, 2020b). These reviews reveal that the current empirical evidence on SCF implementation is limited and fragmented (Bals, 2019;Gelsomino et al, 2016).…”

“…Few studies have investigated applications of innovative SCF solutions in specific industrial and regional contexts (Gelsomino et al, 2016;Xu et al, 2018). Although SCF has been found to improve operational and financial performance (Xu et al, 2018), the specific performance outcomes beyond financial indicators have not been identified (Caniato et al, 2019;Jia et al, 2020b).…”

PurposeIn this study, we examine the implementation of purchase order finance (POF) which is an innovative supply chain finance (SCF) solution by an innovative SCF lender (i.e. supply chain service provider (SCSP)). The effect of information integration between the SCSP (lender) and product designers (borrowers) on the lender's POF decisions and the borrowers' new product launch is investigated.Design/methodology/approachWe conduct a case study in the Chinese smartphone industry. A mixed methods design is used, and data are collected from both the supply chain service provider (SCSP) and product designers. We first conduct a qualitative study. Hypotheses are developed concerning the relationships between information integration, in terms of social interaction and information system integration, POF and new product launch. We then conduct a quantitative study. The multilevel structural equation modelling method is used to test the hypotheses.FindingsWe find that information system integration is positively associated with POF but has no significant effect on new product launch. Social interaction is negatively associated with POF but positively associated with new product launch. POF is positively associated with new product launch.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature by empirically examining the implementation of POF from both the lender's and borrower's perspectives. We find that information system integration and social interaction have different effects on POF and new product launch. The results thus provide insights into how a lender makes POF decisions and reveal the benefits of POF for borrowers.
