T1  - A Paradigm Shift in Times of Digital Transformation: What are the Determinants of Bank-Fintech Cooperation? Empirical Evidence from the Financial Service Sector
N2  - The financial services sector is undergoing a digital transformation. But the emerging picture is very different from the innovation-driven revolution that was initially expected.
Due to the variety of challenges, banks and mostly young financial technology companies (fintechs) are increasingly cooperating instead of competing. Yet despite the rapidly growing importance of bank-fintech cooperation, there is still a lack of empirical evidence on the determinants. We use an explorative research design and conduct semi-structured interviews to contribute to this research field. Our findings illustrate that banks are primarily concerned with access to innovation, while fintechs mainly focus on balancing their resource constraints.

T1  - Managing the Supply-Side of Digital Platforms: First Insights from the Financial Services Sector
N2  - The aim of this paper is to contribute knowledge on the interface and relationship be-tween digital platforms in the financial services sector and the service providers on its supply-side. Based on an explorative research design with literature research and three expert interviews, we examine the categories of service providers that can be distin-guished, the factors of influence that are relevant for selecting service providers, and the main benefits and risks for partnerships with service providers. The results are a starting point for deeper investigation and the creation of research questions for future projects in other industries.
