Benefit–Risk Perceptions of FinTech Adoption for Sustainability from Bank Consumers’ Perspective: The Moderating Role of Fear of COVID-19

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 14(14), P. 8357 - 8357

Published: July 8, 2022

Industry 4.0 technologies, designed to optimize efficiencies, are indisputable change agents for sustainability. In the context of financial technology (FinTech), burgeoning question concerns how create FinTech natives from COVID-19-pandemic-induced adoption and realize FinTech’s impact on sustainability? Thus, this study had following purposes: (1) examine whether perceived benefits risks affect services adoption; (2) test role fear COVID-19 in (3) investigate contributes The hypotheses derived net valence framework, sustainable information society theory, protection motivation theory were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM). Our online survey bank consumers Malaysia between December 2021 February 2022 yielded 1279 usable questionnaires, randomly selected generate 400 respondents. results revealed that: significantly influence adoption, whereas risk does not; moderates benefits–FinTech relationship fully mediates risk–FinTech relationship; affects This demonstrates that models must exploit consumer sentiment (e.g., fear) risks, thereby creating its impacts economic, environmental, social

Currently, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) represents a worldwide movement to improve the productivity and efficiency of operations supply chain management (OSCM), which requires rethinking changing mindset way in products are manufactured services used. Although concept I4.0 was not popularised ratification 2030 Agenda, is watershed implementation Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It can serve as platform for alignment SDGs with ongoing digital transformation. However, challenges integration sustainability OSCM, benefits this integration, line SDGs, remain unclear. Moreover, there lack standard structure that establishes links between these strategically guide organisations on journey towards sustainable OSCM (S-OSCM4.0) aligned SDGs. Thus, purpose paper propose an S-OSCM4.0 framework attain Agenda. Based systematic literature review, 48 articles complied selection criteria were analysed using content analysis. The research findings synthesised into taxonomies benefits, categories linked step-by-step framework, following inductive approach. proposed novel artefact integrates order holistically achieve digitalisation people, prosperity planet sheds light potential contributions

Sustainability 4.0 and its applications in the field of manufacturing

Internet of Things and Cyber-Physical Systems, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 2, P. 82 - 90

Published: Jan. 1, 2022

Sustainability 4.0 is being enabled through the effective adoption of modern technologies such as Internet Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Vision (MV), Data Analytics (DA), Additive Manufacturing (AM) and other technologies. These enable services at significantly lower prices due to use energy resources with lesser wastage. Manufacturers are constantly looking for methods operating expenses associated production processes. might optimise their value chain's processes by adopting sustainability Such will help manufacturers select optimal facilities employees, operational costs, enhance productivity resource utilisation provide a picture process gaps that can be addressed. based on reuse across product life cycle, from materials equipment skills. Sustainable manufacturing produces manufactured goods using economically viable procedures reduce negative environmental consequences while preserving natural resources. This paper briefs its significant needs. Various fundamental futuristic research aspects discussed diagrammatically. Finally, we identified applications in manufacturing. refers long-term vision enterprises allows them continue perpetually without depleting faster than they replaced. entails empowering prosumers co-create reshape economy society toward social inclusion sustainability.
