Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, fintech has experienced rapid global growth, leading to significant transformations in the financial industry. These developments have generated new possibilities for the sustainable development of green finance. The potential of fintech in this regard is based on several key principles: leveraging fintech to strengthen risk management mechanisms and facilitate the establishment of green finance standards; addressing information asymmetry and minimizing the costs associated with green identification and risk management; and driving innovation in green finance products. However, despite the notable advancements in fintech, there remains uncertainty regarding the extent to which it has fulfilled the lofty expectations associated with green finance.

We encourage scholars from diverse disciplines to reexamine the critical proposition of whether financial technology can effectively drive sustainable development via green finance. Currently, financial technology encounters numerous challenges, including incomplete data statistics and information disclosure systems, inadequate information infrastructure, gaps in data security and privacy protection, and a shortage of skilled professionals. These challenges necessitate collective contemplation and collaborative efforts from various stakeholders in the market. The development of green finance also confronts several pressing issues, such as the high costs faced by financial institutions in green identification and risk management, the insufficient availability of innovative green financial products, low efficiency in delivering green financial services, and a lack of uniform green financial standards. These challenges expose the shortcomings of existing financial technology at individual, organizational, institutional, and societal levels, emphasizing the urgent need for solutions and improvements.

Contributions that address the following questions related to fintech and green finance are welcome:

  • Have examples of fintech met the initial expectations regarding social cohesion, cooperation, and more ethical/sustainable alternatives?
  • Which expectations regarding fintech and green finance still persist, and what are the new realistic expectations for their outlook?
  • What factors contribute to the negative impacts of fintech or hinder the development of green finance?
  • How does fintech contribute to businesses and societal benefits during significant social transformations, such as responding to pandemics or supporting small and medium enterprises in underdeveloped regions?
  • How can fintech better leverage its positive impacts in the digital era to support the development of green finance?

We welcome contributions that consider several perspectives, including the following:

  • sustainability and ecological economics
  • organization, strategy, entrepreneurship, and innovation
  • regulatory, legal, and government
  • sociological and critical management
  • psychology, marketing, and consumer behavior

Based on the theoretical frameworks on dynamic capabilities and business model innovation, we conducted a comprehensive survey and analysis involving 451 Chinese university student enterprises. The primary objective was to investigate the synergistic mechanism between these two factors, assessing their impact on business model innovation and tracing the evolutionary path. The study revealed the following key findings: (1) positive correlations exist between digital capabilities and business model innovation; (2) entrepreneurial passion serves as a mediator in the positive relationship between digital capabilities and the discovery of digital opportunities; (3) digital opportunity discovery acts as a mediator in the relationship between digital capabilities and business model innovation; (4) under the mediation of dynamic capabilities, digital opportunity discovery significantly promotes business model innovation. Our research contributes to the empirical exploration of digitization in enterprises, shedding light on the collaborative influence of digital capabilities and digital opportunity discovery on business model innovation. Importantly, it elucidates the contextual boundaries that influence business model innovation through diverse pathways, enhancing our comprehensive understanding of the dynamic landscape in the evolution of digital business transformations.

The purpose of this study is to summarize the research results on corporate value published from 2000 to 2022; show the research overview, hot trends, and topic evolution of this research field; provide new ideas for the mining of the research frontiers of corporate value and a summary of the change rules of research hotspots; and describe prospects for the evolution direction and path of future research. Combining the bibliometric research method with a literature review, the research results on corporate value were analyzed quantitatively by querying the WOS database from 2000 to 2022; the analysis tool was CiteSpace. This study has five findings. First, researchers are paying increasing attention to the study of corporate value, and most of the research results are obtained by independent authors. Second, Chinese research institutions rank among the top three in publication volume. However, their research results have had little impact, with Univ Penn and Peking Univ having the most significant impact. Third, the top three keywords that scholars pay attention to are performance, impact, and corporate governance. Keyword burst analysis, CSR, value reliability, and sustainability are the latest research frontiers. Fourth, evolutionary trends are divided into three stages: research on the influencing factors of corporate value, research on the impact of corporate behavior on corporate value, and research on the evaluation and growth of corporate value. Fifth, knowledge domains include corporate value research methods, the factors influencing corporate value, and corporate behavior. The aims of this study are to provide a new perspective for researchers to study corporate value, provide new ideas for enterprise managers to manage corporate value, and achieve the sustainable development of corporate value. At the same time, the scientific knowledge graph method is applied in corporate value research, adding a new research path for corporate value. Full article
