Fintech, Small Business

Small businesses are the backbone of the U.S. economy. They are the biggest job creators and offer a path to the American Dream. But for many, it is difficult to get the capital they need to operate and succeed. In the Great Recession, access to capital for small businesses froze, and in the aftermath, many community banks shuttered their doors and other lenders that had weathered the storm turned to more profitable avenues. For years after the financial crisis, the outlook for many small businesses was bleak. But then a new dawn of financial technology, or ⠜fintech,⠝ emerged. Beginning in 2010, new fintech entrepreneurs recognized the gaps in the small business lending market and revolutionized the customer experience for small business owners. Instead of xeroxing a pile of paperwork and waiting weeks for an answer, small businesses filled out applications online and heard back within hours, sometimes even minutes. Banks scrambled to catch up. Technology companies like Amazon, PayPal, and Square entered the market, and new possibilities for even more transformative products and services began to appear.In Fintech, Small Business the American Dream, former U.S. Small Business Administrator and Senior Fellow at Harvard Business School, Karen G. Mills, focuses on the needs of small businesses for capital and how technology will transform the small business lending market. This is a market that has been plagued by frictions: it is hard for a lender to figure out which small businesses are creditworthy, and borrowers often don⠙t know how much money or what kind of loan they need. New streams of data have the power to illuminate the opaque nature of a small business⠙ finances, making it easier for them to weather bumpy cash flows and providing more transparency to potential lenders.Mills charts how fintech has changed and will continue to change small business lending, and how financial innovation and wise regulation can restore a path to the American Dream. An ambitious book grappling with the broad significance of small business to the economy, the historical role of credit markets, the dynamics of innovation cycles, and the policy implications for regulation, Fintech, Small Business the American Dream is relevant to bankers, fintech investors, and regulators; in fact, anyone who is interested in the future of small business in America.

A Small Family Business - Alan Ayckbourn

Well, that s one down, isn t it? Nine to go. Next! Thou shalt not kill. What about that then? Let s have a crack at that one next, shall we?Jack McCracken is a man of principle until, moments after taking over his father-in-law s business, he discovers his extended family to be thieves and adulterers, operating a network of racketeering from their suburban homes. Rampant self-interest and comic hysteria take over as Jack succumbs.A Small Family Business premiered at the National Theatre, London, 1987, and won the Evening Standard Award for Best Play.â ˜This play offers a devastating assault on the way the entrepreneurial values we were taught to admire in the eighties lead ultimately to fraud, theft, self-deceit, even homicide. It is the modern equivalent of An Inspector Calls â “ only, being Ayckbourn, far funnier. It argues just as passionately as the work of more overtly political writers that there is such a thing as society.â ™ Guardian

Fintech v mezinárodním prostředí - Marek Bočánek

Kniha Fintech v mezinárodním prostředí nabízí čtenářům jak právní, tak praktický obchodní pohled na zakládání i vedení nebankovních platebních institucí v pěti nejpopulárnějších mezinárodních oblastech (v Evropské unii, Singapuru, Hong Kongu, Spojených státech amerických a v Kanadě). Jedná se o přehled základní legislativy i požadavků na společnosti i vedoucí osoby společně s příslušnými povinnostmi vůči dohledovým orgánům. Odvětví platebního styku a fintechu zaznamenala významný rozvoj v legislativě všech rozvinutých zemích společně s přidruženými oblastmi (kyberbezpečnost, oblast prevence praní špinavých peněz apod.), což činí celkový přehled o povinnostech pro běžné podnikající subjekty značně komplikovanějším. Kniha je proto určena zejména pro čtenáře–podnikatele, nicméně usiluje i o poskytnutí základního přehledu a souvislostí pro právně vzdělané čtenáře.

American Business History - Walter A. Friedman

By the early twentieth century, it became common to describe the United States as a business civilization. President Coolidge in 1925 said, The chief business of the American people is business. More recently, historian Sven Beckert characterized Henry Ford s massive manufactory as the embodiment of America: While Athens had its Parthenon and Rome its Colosseum, the United States had its River Rouge Factory in Detroit... How did business come to assume such power and cultural centrality in America? This volume explores the variety of business enterprise in the United States and analyzes its presence in the country s economy, its evolution over time, and its meaning in society. It introduces readers to formative business leaders (including Elbert Gary, Harlow Curtice, and Mary Kay Ash), leading firms (Mellon Bank, National Cash Register, Xerox), and fiction about business people (The Octopus, Babbitt, The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit). It also discusses Alfred Chandler, Joseph Schumpeter, Mira Wilkins, and others who made significant contributions to understanding of America s business history. This VSI pursues its three central themes - the evolution, scale, and culture of American business - in a chronological framework stretching from the American Revolution to today. The first theme is evolution: How has U.S. business evolved over time? How have American companies competed with one another and with foreign firms? Why have ideas about strategy and management changed? Why did business people in the mid-twentieth century celebrate an organizational culture promising long-term employment in the same company, while a few decades later entrepreneurship was prized? Second is scale: Why did business assume such enormous scale in the United States? Was the rise of gigantic corporations due to the industriousness of its population, or natural resources, or government policies? And third, culture: What are the characteristics of a business civilization ? How have opinions on the meaning of business changed? In the late nineteenth century, Andrew Carnegie believed that America s numerous enterprises represented an exuberant triumph of democracy. After World War II, however, sociologist William H. Whyte saw business culture as stultifying, and historian Richard Hofstadter wrote, Once great men created fortunes; today a great system creates fortunate men. How did changes in the nature of business affect popular views? Walter A. Friedman provides the long view of these important developments.

Burn the Business Plan - Carl J. Schramm

Business startup advice from the former president of the Ewing Marion Kaufmann Foundation and cofounder of Global Entrepreneurship Week and StartUp America, this “thoughtful study of ‘how businesses really start, grow, and prosper’...dispels quite a few business myths along the way” (Publishers Weekly).Carl Schramm, the man described by The Economist as “The Evangelist of Entrepreneurship,” has written a myth-busting guide packed with tools and techniques to help you get your big idea off the ground. Schramm believes that entrepreneurship has been misrepresented by the media, business books, university programs, and MBA courses. For example, despite the emphasis on the business plan in most business schools, some of the most successful companies in history—Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and hundreds of others—achieved success before they ever had a business plan. Burn the Business Plan punctures the myth of the cool, tech-savvy twenty-something entrepreneur with nothing to lose and venture capital to burn. In fact most people who start businesses are juggling careers and mortgages just like you. The average entrepreneur is actually thirty-nine years old, and the success rate of entrepreneurs over forty is five times higher than that of those under age thirty. Entrepreneurs who come out of the corporate world often have discovered a need for a product or service and have valuable contacts to help them get started. Filled with stories of successful entrepreneurs who drew on real-life experience rather than academic coursework, Burn the Business Plan is the guide to starting and running a business that will actually work for the rest of us.

Principles of Sustainable Business - Eveline van Mil, Rob van Tulder

The basic function of companies is to add value to society. Profits are a means to an end, not an end in itself. The ability of companies to innovate, scale and invest provides them with a powerful base for positive change. But companies are also criticized for not contributing sufficiently to societyâ ™s grand challenges. An increasingly VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) world creates serious governance gaps that not only require new ways of regulation, but also new ways of doing business. Can companies effectively contribute to sustainable development and confront societyâ ™s systemic challenges?Arguably the most important frame to drive this ambition was introduced and unanimously adopted in 2015: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDG-agenda not only defines a holistic set of global goals and targets, but also foundational principles to guide meaningful action to their achievement by 2030. Multinational companies have signed up to the SDGs as the worldâ ™s long-term business plan. Realizing the SDGs provides a yearly $12 trillion investment and growth opportunity, while creating hundreds of millions of jobs in the process. But progress is too slow â “ witnessing societyâ ™s inability to deal with pressing human, ecological, economic and health crises â “ whilst the vast potential for societal value creation remains underutilized. This book provides a timely account of the systemic, strategic and operational challenges that need to be addressed to enhance the effectiveness of corporate involvement in society, by using the SDGs as the leading principles-based framework for actionable, powerful and transformative change.Principles of Sustainable Business is written for graduate and postgraduate (executive) students, policymakers and business professionals who want to understand the complex challenges of global sustainability. It shows how companies can design and implement SDG-relevant strategies at three levels: the macro level, to assess whether the SDGs present wicked problems or opportunities; the micro level, to develop and operationalize innovative business models, design new business cases and navigate organizational transition trajectories; and the meso level, to develop fit-for-purpose cross-sector partnering strategies. Principles of Sustainable Business presents innovative tools embedded in a coherent sequence of analytical frameworks that can be applied in courses for students, be put into practice by business professionals and used by action researchers to help companies contribute to the Decade of Action.
