We conducted a qualitative analysis of the content of 48 scientific journals published between 1999 and 2020 and selected 215 articles based on purposive sampling during two stages of screening. As a result of the content analysis, three main themes were identified: “origins of group control and ownership”, “groups' institutional origins”, and “intergroup relations”. Also, at the first subtheme level, six categories were identified: group control level, group ownership type, diversity of group relations, dependence and cooperation level, relationship structure, and institutional contexts. There are 12 subcategories included in the second-level subthemes. “origin of corporate governance”, “type of group ownership”, “type of institutional contexts”, “intra-group diversification”, “extra-group diversification”, “internal cooperation”, “formalization ratio”, “length of relations”, “external cooperation”, “geographical area”, “depth of cooperation”, “group maturity level”.

Also, the possible differing spillovers in the manufacturing and services firms are investigated. Using data from the World Bank Enterprise Survey for 2006 and 2014, the paper finds that the gender spillover is significantly influenced by four variables; sector, firm age, transport challenges, and supply-chain finance. Relative to the services sector, firms in the manufacturing sector are found to significantly drive gender spillovers due to a probable preference for females “nimble fingers”, perceived obedience, and lower wages. However, the paper documents that older firms, especially those in the manufacturing sector, negatively impact gender spillovers. Also, transport challenges are shown to drive gender spillovers. This result arises from the possibility that they impose an opportunity cost, whereby, firms may defer investing in female labour due to lower perceived wages to compensate for high transport costs. Finally, we document a negative influence of supply-chain finance on gender spillovers, arising from possible labour cuts as MNCs outsource jobs in the supply chain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45011,"journal":{"name":"Transnational Corporations Review","volume":"16 4","pages":"Article 200094"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142446803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A thorough analysis of this data uncovers the complex relationships and interactions between FinTech and the digital economy. The findings clearly demonstrate the significant impact of FinTech on India's digital economy. One important result of this impact is the progress of technological advancements, along with a decrease in the financial independence of local governments. In addition, the study reveals a fascinating finding: the influence of FinTech on the growth of the digital economy is enhanced by the existence of local financial regulatory mechanisms. By strengthening regulatory resources, FinTech plays a crucial role in promoting the development of the digital economy, especially in economically advanced regions. This research utilizes a cutting-edge methodology to unravel these intricate phenomena, providing new perspectives on the interaction between FinTech and the digital economy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45011,"journal":{"name":"Transnational Corporations Review","volume":"16 4","pages":"Article 200091"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S192520992400617X/pdfft?md5=12c72893b371b072082779a1157f23e6&pid=1-s2.0-S192520992400617X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142040684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Africa has even created economic communities, fitted with monetary, fiscal, and socio-political anchors, by way of various Regional Economic Communities (RECs) – now reflected by the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). Whilst these have yielded marginal benefits, the persistence of low intra-Africa trade calls into question their suitability. Focused on the realities of institutions targeted by these reforms and Africa's context – i.e., weak linkages between institutions, high informality, and low social capital – we posit that reforms have not elicited the hoped-for high intra-Africa trade because of their near total reliance on the neo-liberal approach, which neglects Africa's context. Drawing on Africa's sociology and new institutional economics, we use a conceptual institutional analysis to evolve a political economy based framework that suggests potential solutions: Linking the formal sector that currently underpins economic/trade policies to the informal institutions that are reflective of Africa's norms, values, cultures and expectations (the informal sector), and scaling up production; via the cooperatives production model, strategic procurement mandates, and effectuation of continental transportation infrastructure network, are our recommended pathways to reversing the current dismal intra-continental trade.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":45011,"journal":{"name":"Transnational Corporations Review","volume":"16 4","pages":"Article 200090"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1925209924006168/pdfft?md5=33ed7205d9a052b15b820b524c3f8ebb&pid=1-s2.0-S1925209924006168-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141963194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
