TL;DR: In this paper, a manager's choice of innovation effort is subject to a holdup problem because of the ex post opportunism on the part of the headquarters, and the performance of centralized and delegated forms of investment decision-making is analyzed and compared.

TL;DR: In recent years, scholars have demonstrated that capability theories of firm boundaries are fundamentally intertwined with contractual arguments as discussed by the authors, and a productive use of capability arguments, therefore, could be made.

TL;DR: In this article, the mediating effect of trust in the relationship between mobile money adoption and usage and financial inclusion of MSMEs in developing countries with a specific focus on rural Uganda was established.
Abstract: Recently, a large body of research has been devoted on the role of trust in shaping different types of transactions, especially in rural financial development. Trust is a set of expectations shared by all those who engage in an exchange. Indeed, the “rule of the game” suggests that no trusting party in a transaction should act opportunistically. Consequently, this study aims to establish the mediating effect of trust in the relationship between mobile money adoption and usage and financial inclusion of MSMEs in developing countries with a specific focus on rural Uganda.,A quantitative survey-based study was used and responses obtained from 379 MSMEs located in northern Uganda were analysed using partial least square-PLS version 3.0. A semi-structured questionnaire was developed from scales and items used in previous studies referenced in internationally recognised journals to elicit responses from the MSMEs. Structural equation modelling was used to test the models to arrive at a final empirical model derived from the data.,The authors found evidence that trust enhances mobile money adoption and usage to increase the scope of financial inclusion of MSMEs in developing countries. Moreover, when individual effect was determined, trust also had significant and positive effect on financial inclusion. Thus, the study results imply that trust enhances mobile money adoption and usage to improve the level of financial inclusion of MSMEs in developing countries.,The study used cross-sectional data to document the relationship between mobile money adoption and usage and financial inclusion and to establish the mediating effect of trust in the relationship. Future research could use relevant longitudinal data to verify other benefits of trust.,The results present trust as a significant factor for FINTECH financial services marketing and growth. Specifically, data privacy and effectiveness of the mobile telephone network is more likely to help consumers to bridge the gap between participation and non-participation on the mobile money platform. Customers’ data sent over the mobile network of providers should be protected from unnecessary access and usage by Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) staff and unauthorised persons and agents. Data protection protocols should be set by the MNOs to avoid unnecessary access and use of customers’ data.,Globally, Fintech scholars have examined the role of mobile money in promoting financial inclusion. However, there is insufficient evidence on the mediating effect of trust in the relationship between mobile money adoption and usage and financial inclusion, especially among rural MSMEs. This study invents a novel direction on the importance of trust in creating transaction efficiency by eliminating opportunism and fraud with in the Fintech ecosystem.

TL;DR: The future of agricultural economics will emerge as some blend of opportunism and institutional momentum as mentioned in this paper, which is the case of the land grant system, undergraduate teaching choices, and research choices.
Abstract: The future of agricultural economics will emerge as some blend of opportunism and institutional momentum. The abundance of concern and analysis relating to the land grant system suggests emerging changes in the direction and force of institutional momentum (Bromley, Clevenger, Debertin and Infanger, Hildreth, G. L. Johnson, Schuh, etc.). If the guidance our profession receives from institutional momentum declines abruptly, as I believe it will, the opportunistic choices available and the decisions we make become very important. This paper will discuss (a) expected changes in the land grant system, (b) opportunistic choices in undergraduate teaching, and (c) opportunistic choices in research.
