FinTech for a Sustainable Supply Chain: Toward a Conceptual Framework and Future Research Directions
摘要
The accelerating convergence of financial technology (FinTech) and sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) represents a transformative shift in how organizations address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges while enhancing operational efficiency. This chapter explores the multifaceted role of FinTech as a catalyst for sustainable finance, enabling greater transparency, traceability, and accountability across global supply chains. Drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Institutional Theory, the discussion elucidates how firms leverage unique technological capabilities and respond to external regulatory and normative pressures to integrate FinTech solutions effectively within SSCM frameworks. By examining the interplay between internal resources and institutional contexts, this chapter provides a comprehensive understanding of FinTech adoption drivers and barriers in achieving resilient and sustainable supply chains (SCS) and enhance competitive advantage within the complexities of today’s global economy.
