Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on the broad topic of “Organizational Innovation, Financial Technology and  Technology Management” and includes novel research on the use of financial technology (FinTech) to offer technologically enabled organizational innovations, e.g., financial products and services, digital payment services and new digital business models. Some of the solutions and advances in FinTech may reduce firms’ financing and operational costs, such as the adoption of artificial intelligence (including robot advisors) and blockchains. The deployment of FinTech could facilitate firms’ corporate governance by increasing transparency in business management. Despite these developments, FinTech solutions might lead to issues in various aspects, e.g., corporate governance issues, cybersecurity risks for consumers, challenges for firms’ capability to engage in big data analytics and policymakers promoting consumer data privacy.

Theoretical and empirical articles on the exploration of financial technology in strategy, technology and risk management are welcome. Contributions focusing on organizational innovation, FinTech strategies and effectiveness, other types of risks implied from the adoption of FinTech and the challenges of emerging technologies for organizations and policymakers are encouraged.

Abstract
Venture capital has a significant positive impact on corporate innovation. However, innovation has great risks. Investors often lack sufficient confidence in innovation, which often leads to investors stopping their investment or to inadequate support for innovation behavior.

Venture capital has a significant positive impact on corporate innovation. However, innovation has great risks. Investors often lack sufficient confidence in innovation, which often leads to investors stopping their investment or to inadequate support for innovation behavior. Therefore, enhancing investor confidence is crucial. Monitoring is considered to be the most direct and common way to promote investor confidence. This paper mainly focus on the effect of venture capitalist monitoring on corporate innovation. We use companies listed in the Shenzhen and Shanghai stock exchanges from 2009 to 2017 as samples. We performed a metrological test and a series of robustness tests and found that venture capitalists on boards play a significant role in promoting corporate innovation. When dividing the sample according to the experience of venture capital or the governance level of the corporation, we found that venture capitalists on boards with high experience or in corporations with high-quality governance have a greater impact on corporate innovation. Furthermore, we studied the monitoring mechanism of venture capital on boards and found that the monitoring of venture capital can alleviate managers’ anxiety about being dismissed due to innovation failure.

The vast majority of articles on risk in agile-managed projects fail to adequately address the interplay between the agile methodology, the risk management process, and the elements that ultimately determine the success or failure of the project. Too frequently, processes and models are given undue priority over the human element. The aim of this article is to create a risk management model for agile I.T. projects (AGP model). The study sample consists of 1868 valid survey responses from European and Asian countries received between February 2022 and January 2023. We subjected the data to Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Cronbach’s alpha to identify four key factors for dealing with risks in I.T. projects and create the AGP model. The proposed AGP model outlines up to 76% variability in the potential risks that could arise during an I.T. project’s deployment. The findings of this study are critical for project managers, I.T. professionals, developers, and system architects involved in I.T. projects. Other stakeholders may be interested in understanding the risks associated with the project and developing strategies to mitigate these risks. Full article

Agricultural commodity markets are critical to the global economy. This study investigates the price discovery mechanism, lead-lag relationship, and volatility spillover between spot prices on the National Agriculture Market (E-NAM) and futures and spot prices on the National Commodity and Derivative Exchange (NCDEX) in the Indian agricultural commodity market. The Johansen Cointegration, Vector Error Correction (VEC), Granger causality tests, and bivariate GARCH models were applied to daily data from April 2016 to December 2020 for twelve agricultural commodities traded on the E-NAM and NCDEX. We discovered the long-run relationship using the Johansen Cointegration test and concluded that the NCDEX spot and futures market is dominant in the price discovery mechanism, and the NCDEX futures and spot markets lead the E-NAM spot prices having a unidirectional or bidirectional relationship. Furthermore, the bivariate GARCH model suggested a volatility spillover from E-NAM spot prices to NCDEX futures and spot markets for most commodities, except for bajra, barley, and jeera, which have no volatility spillover. The study’s findings have important implications for various stakeholders, including policymakers, farmers, investors, traders, and others who want to reduce price risks by using information from the E-NAM market’s spot prices.
