Digitale Transformation und Nachhaltigkeit haben sich auch in der Finanzwirtschaft zu zentralen Themenfeldern in Forschung und wissenschaftlicher Diskussion entwickelt und haben in der Finance-Literatur auch ihren festen Platz gefunden. Es überrascht jedoch hierbei, dass diese Themenfelder bisher nur ansatzweise und quasi nebenbei mit den Inhalten des finanzwirtschaftlichen Risikomanagements verknüpft werden und somit dessen Querschnittsfunktion in der Diskussion eher unterrepräsentiert ist. Dieser Sammelband thematisiert daher Chancen und Risiken aus diesen beiden Themenfeldern mit einem starken Anwendungsbezug zum finanzwirtschaftlichen Risikomanagement. Hierbei werden digitale Transformation sowie Nachhaltigkeit jeweils in einem weiten Definitionsrahmen betrachtet, das auch die Bandbreite und die unterschiedlichen Perspektivensetzungen ermöglicht.

Equity crowdfunding is a new way for seed stage start-ups to generate initial capital and, as such, raises questions around the choices made by investors within this area. Understanding it is important for investor protection, as investors are generally unaware of the factors that can influence their decisions. However, investing in equity crowdfunding places the investor in a unique decision-making framework, in which resources such as images, videos and storytelling are all mobilized by entrepreneurs and platforms as tools of persuasion. This context thus seems to favor more holistic and emotional decision-making, rather than a process that is rational and analytical. This first volume centers on the emotional and axiological determinants of choice. A transdisciplinary theoretical analysis is carried out, combining different fields within the social sciences, primarily finance, marketing and psychology. This state of the art leads to the emergence of an original theoretical framework for understanding investment choices in equity crowdfunding.

"FinTech (the revolution in financial technology) is growing up and moving into the mainstream of finance over the last decade. The authors explore what Australia, China, and Japan are planning and doing in the field of crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending. In addition to peer-to-peer lending, the book focuses on laws and practices related to central bank digital currencies, cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). For example, peer-to-peer lending in Japan is mostly for small and medium enterprises. It was popular in China but the authorities cracked down a few years. It provides an alternative fundraising channel for the capital market in Australia. We also see a set of regulatory approaches among jurisdictions. Some countries draft new regulations, while others amend existing laws. The mechanism of the regulatory sandbox was introduced"--Adapted from the publisher's description.
