Series: Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking

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.

Reviews for Responsible Finance and Digitalization: Implications and Developments

Now that the various forms of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) solutions will be among the most relevant next generation forces in the development of financial intermediation practices, it is of extreme importance to understand the premises of the next steps in this process. Responsible Finance and Digitalization: Implications and Developments gives a coherent and broad-based view on the recent evolution of the financial sector in this respect. It describes how the current market players are adapting to the institutional changes and to the challenge coming from new actors and competitors. It also considers thoroughly the ability of present financial organizations to provide 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. This book is a must-read reference for scholars and students interested in the characteristics of financial intermediation in the future, especially due to its exceptional coverage of the roles of organizational structures, digitalization, regulation and social responsibility of financial institutions. In many respects, it is relevant to anyone interested in the most recent steps that have led us to the doorsteps of the potential wider out-break of DeFi solutions, too. -Professor Juha Junttila, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland
