Item Open Access Establishing regulatory sandboxes for FinTech companies in the European Union to foster the development of the FinTech Sector – an analysis(Universidad ESAN, 2021) Engelhardt, Linus; Calvo Silvosa, Anxo; Bremser, KerstinThis paper aims to find an answer to the question whether and to what extent the concept of a Regulatory Sandbox for FinTech companies should be applied at the supranational level of the European Union. In several steps the term "FinTech" will be narrowed down and its effects on the global financial sector analyzed. Afterwards, the three most common regulatory approaches are presented, whereby the Regulatory Sandbox is described in more detail using the sandbox of the Financial Conduct Authority from the United Kingdom as an example. Finally, the relevant regulatory authorities in the EU are discussed. The results make clear that the economic importance of FinTechs is increasing significantly. Considering the fact that FinTechs from Great Britain account for almost three quarters of the total market volume, it is still clear that the EU must become much more attractive in the face of the coming Brexit in order not to lose ground globally. One way to do so is to provide regulatory certainty. A regulatory sandbox is suitable for this purpose, as it reduces uncertainty for companies and makes them more attractive for investors. Regulators also benefit from receiving direct feedback on their regulatory framework and being able to adapt and develop it accordingly. It is proposed that in the run-up to a joint European sandbox, interested National States establish their own national sandboxes, whereby all of them should decide slightly differently on both the structure and the objectives. Based on the experiences of the National States, it is up to the competent authorities in the EU to prepare a supranational sandbox. When implementing the establishment of such sandbox, clear coordination and responsibility of the actors as well as the assumed demand and potential problems have to be considered carefully.Item Open Access Estudio exploratorio en gestión de proyectos(Universidad de Montevideo, Facultad de Ingeniería, 2019-11-29) Saenz Arteaga, Arturo Rodolfo; Ostos Mariño, Jhony; Bremser, Kerstin; Lizarzaburu Bolanos, EdmundoSeveral authors argue that project management is conducted with quantitative techniques that correspond to a linear cause-effect behavior; however, it should be treated with techniques that correspond to a nonlinear cause and effect behavior. This study explores the behavior of project management under a non-linear cause-effect approach using chaos theory and four project management variables: time, human resources, quality, and cost. Parkinson's law and chaos theory are used; mathematical equations are formulated to explain nonlinear cause-effect behavior in project management. The study was conducted considering the experience of management in mining projects. The mathematical model found can be used by academics to deepen the analysis of the reasons for the complexity of project management. Also, this study is useful for managers in making decisions to calculate the expected duration of the project.Item Open Access The influence of absorptive capacity, sources of information and technological acquisition in the technological innovation breadth of manufacturing companies(Associació Catalana de Comptabilitat i Direcció, ACCID, 2018-05) Del Carpio Gallegos, Javier; Ostos Mariño, Jhony; Bremser, KerstinThis article is an approach to new definitions of materiality as applied to corporate performance and disclosure practices. Over time, the materiality lens will have implications for multiple operating areas. They will range from; risk and compliance to strategy setting, corporate policy and governance, management practices including stakeholder engagement, and even human resource management. In the second part there is a presentation of the definitions, scope and perspectives of materiality according to six relevant standard-setters in the field of sustainability reporting. Finally there is the presentation of how materiality is reported according to the six biggest groups of quoted companies in Spain.Item Open Access The influence of the project team efficacy and organizational factors on the success of mining project management(Universidad del Rosario, 2020-08-13) Saenz Arteaga, Arturo Rodolfo; Ostos Mariño, Jhony; Bremser, KerstinSome authors have proposed that project team efficacy influences the success of project management; however, this relationship has not been well investigated. The objectives of this study are to analyze the relationship between project team efficacy and the success of project management and to examine three moderator variables (task uncertainty, task interdependence, and chaos effect) in the relationship between them. This study was based on a sample of 52 mining work teams. The suggested hypotheses were con-firmed, there is an influential relationship between project team efficacy and the success of mining project management, as well as the significance of the moderate variables.Item Open Access Relationships of business strategies and organizational characteristics with innovation types: application in service companies(CEIPA Business School, 2019-11-28) Ostos Mariño, Jhony; Saenz Arteaga, Arturo Rodolfo; Bremser, KerstinVarious authors maintain that innovation practices depend on business strategies, therefore companies must configure an organizational structure that facilitates the coordination of tasks and allows objectives to be reached. In a sample of 203 service companies, an analysis was carried out of the influence of business strategies and organizational characteristics on technical innovation and administrative innovation. The results indicate that there is an important relationship between the business strategy and the technical and administrative innovations. On the other hand, organizational characteristics only had a significant relationship with technical innovation but not with the administrative innovation.
