Course Work Description:
In class we have learned that traditional banks and Fintechs (innovative start-ups in the financial technology sector) offer supply chain finance solutions. In recent years many different Fintechs have emerged. All of these Fintechs are somewhat different in their value proposition.
This coursework consists of two parts:
- Provide an overview on the competitive landscape of these Fintechs (40% of report). You can easily identify these Fintechs by browsing the internet.
- Select a Fintech of your choosing and describe their value proposition in detail (60% of report). In particular, describe what products they offer and how they differ from their key competitors. What would you recommend the Fintech do in order to become more successful in the future? Support your recommendations by a rigorous analysis of the chosen Fintech
For the report, you may want to add an introduction section with a general overview and a conclusion section that summarises your findings.
Upon completion of this project, you will have gained a deeper understanding of how technology shapes the financial flow of a company. The project will draw upon the skills, concepts and models addressed throughout the module and apply them in a real-world setting.
With this course work you should
- Conduct research and synthesise the relevant information;
- Identify and use appropriate analytical concepts and frameworks from the module;
- Develop a systematic recommendation for the identified operations challenge;
