Cross Broder Trade & Fintech: Review of Antecedents, Outcomes, Theories, Methods, and Research Recommendations

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the current literature on Financial Technology (FinTech) and International Trade to identify significant areas of interest and promote future research. This report evaluates and synthesizes data to identify research gaps and possible topics using the ADO-TCM (the antecedents, decisions, outcomes, theories, context, and methods) framework. Recognition of antecedents, results, and potential notions in current articles is vital because it proves FinTech's importance in global commerce.

Design/methodology/approach: The SPAR-4-SLR (The Scientific Procedures and Rationales for Systematic Literature Reviews) approach is used to identify, analyze, and synthesize international commerce area literature. SPAR-4-SLR was used to review 64 research studies methodically.

Findings: This research study provides a reflective analysis of The TCM approach in conjunction with the ADO approach, utilizing the SPAR-4-SLR systematic review. This article explores significant gaps related to FinTech in International Trade research.

Originality/ Value: This research distinguishes from previous assessments by employing a Systematic review based on a framework approach that combines the ADO and TCM frameworks using ‘the SPAR 4 SLR protocol’. This method examines Global Commerce more deeply.
