The aftermath of the 2008 crisis has substantially increased the
regulation of banks and insurance companies and curtailed their
risk taking, which has shifted much of the risk to their clients:
firms and consumers. At the same time, digitalization has
encouraged the entry of new firms combining finance and
technological innovation, a phenomenon known as FinTech. The
emergence of non-bank financial entities has contributed to the
fragmentation of financial services, and also opened up new
markets. Furthermore, the growing emphasis on corporate social
responsibility has made it increasingly important for financial
organizations to care about their public image. Drawing together
these diverse strands, this book examines how the financial sector
is evolving and how the existing actors are adapting to the
institutional change and to the challenges from new actors and
competitors. It also addresses the issue of how financial
organizations are providing fixes to the challenges at the systemic
level and how a healthier, more diverse and socially responsible
financial sector is beneficial to the operations of the market
economy as a whole. While there are books that address each of
these issues, and also books that look at organizational diversity,
there are few that investigate their interconnectedness.
Responsible Finance and Digitalization offers a topical overview of
the changes that are taking place in the financial sector and how
the financial sector itself can contribute to solving global
challenges. It equips both students (at MBA and other levels) and
practitioners with analytical tools to reflect on this change and
to take appropriate action to ensure that their organization can
successfully navigate it and create value.
This volume of "Advances in the Economic Analysis of Participatory
and Labor-Managed Firms" consists of twelve original and innovative
articles. The first four papers relate to the growing literature on
employee participation and firm performance. The second group of
papers looks at the impact of ownership structures into managerial
compensation and control. The third set of papers analyzes the role
of co-operatives in the changing economic environment. The three
papers in the final section range from the historical perspective
on participation to the role different forms of participation may
play in the future. Together, these papers draw on the expertise of
a number of leading thinkers in the area and promise the reader a
challenge to help deliver practical policies to transform our work
world and society. The series: is international in scope; and fills
substantial gap in this field. Although its primary focus is
economic, the editors welcome analytical studies from related
fields.
