“…Another issue of concern around social welfare is the actual timeliness and predictability of payments, which has consequences on the programme impact as far as they affect the planning and forward thinking of beneficiaries (Nawazish et al 2022). During the COVID-19 pandemic, organisations that distributed social protection services manually faced challenges in seeking travel clearance to organise the distribution of aid, resulting in delays in providing social protection services (Pina et al 2022). The administration and transportation of in-kind aid are time-consuming, often impacting distribution timetables.…”

The employment of fintech as a product and service distribution mechanism in various sectors has been widely adopted for the provision of seamless services. The adoption of fintech by both individuals and organisations avails more convenience in product and service provision. The combination of fintech and social protection service provision has been receiving increased attention, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic era. This paper sought to investigate and show the importance of fintech in social protection research. The study aims to show the evolutionary idea of fintech in social protection to elucidate how much research has been done and elucidate the emerging areas surrounding fintech in social protection. A review of the literature that links social protection provision and fintech was conducted to establish whether more research is needed in integrating fintech with social protection provision. This study employed a bibliometric review to explore linkages that exist between financial technology (fintech) and social protection provision to establish whether the area needs further research. Data were sourced from the SCOPUS database using the Boolean search approach with the use of keywords and filters. Search results were processed and analysed in both SCOPUS and VOSviewer for visual and network positioning. The findings of the study show that fintech and social protection have received increased attention, as shown by the number of publications since 2018. Details of the most influential authors, documents, countries, and sources were documented. The results indicate the following emerging research themes: (1) the adoption of fintech in social protection service provision; (2) blockchain technology research on social protection, (3) fintech in health care service provision combined with health insurance; and (4) fintech as a cushion against the impacts of climate change.

Investigating the role of knowledge-based supply chains for supply chain resilience by graph theory matrix approach

et al. 2023

Nowadays, providing information flow at every phase of a knowledge-based supply chain with technologies has become a vital issue due to rapid population growth, globalisation, and increases in demand in the supply chain. Knowledge-based supply chains have a critical role in increasing resilience in supply chain processes with emerging technologies. Thus, it is necessary to determine the critical factors that increase SC resilience. Therefore, this study aims to determine SC resilience improvement factors in knowledge-based supply chains and investigate the importance level of determining factors using the Graph Theory Matrix Approach. The results suggest that the most important supply chain resilience improvement factor is Adaptive Capacity (F3), followed by Product Prioritization (F9) and Flexibility (F1), respectively. This study is expected to benefit managers and policymakers as it provides a better understanding of critical SC resilience improvement factors that play a role in knowledge-based supply chains. In order to increase resilience in the supply chain, system thinking and solutions should be encouraged by businesses to increase collaboration with stakeholders. Businesses and governments should provide collaborative long-term solutions for the uncertain environment to ensure a sustainable and resilient environment.
