“…At the first level are the financial institutions adopting ICTs to deliver financial services. These financial institutions adopt ICT as a channel for providing financial services while improving their competitiveness (Bakos, Miller, Packham, Pickernell, & Thomas, 2016). They exploit the advantages that ICTs offer in delivering financial services, thereby expanding the range of their financial services offerings to previously excluded layers of the financial system (Assadi & Cudi, 2011;Chaix, 2013;White, Jones, & Beynon-Davies, 2016).…”

The risk of money laundering induced by information and communication technologies (ICT) in the financial sector could be controlled by adopting artificial intelligence systems and increased security investment in Sub-Saharan Africa. The establishment of a regulatory framework for controlling ICT is necessary to combat capital laundering effectively. Poverty and unemployment harm the struggle against money laundering. The fight against corruption and political stability contribute positively to policies against money laundering.

“…One of the focal points of this study is the manner in which middle managers in the automotive sector deal with 'change projects' in an international cultural context and how they support their staff in handling changes by reducing fear and resistance (Nieswandt, 2015). The strategic focus of this research is the perspective of the managers (Nieswandt, 2015), particularly their cognitive processes (Bakos et al, 2016;Nieswandt, 2015), as they are the most significant practitioners of change. Of particular interest for me when I was preparing the interviews and analysing the responses were the existing methods used by middle managers and the kinds of assistance they currently accept (Evans, 2015).…”

“…In Emerald, ABI/INFORM, and Journalseek, a number of articles described the internationalisation of companies by means of joint ventures and the ensuing processual problems. However, taking a critical stance, there was no connection to employees and their habits or to how managers can adapt to these new working conditions and resolve the challenges of how and when to communicate with staff (Bakos et al, 2016).…”

Purpose and objective: The study sought to establish a conceptual framework model (Figure 12, p. 104) for, and to make recommendations for automobile producing companies involved in a Sino-German joint venture based in China. The objective of this thesis was to understand the perspectives of German and Chinese middle managers working in a cross-cultural environment to enhance their collaborative work. My aim was to add to knowledge of decision-making processes in this context and to assist middle managers with understanding cultural differences in order to reduce staff resistance to change. Design and methodology: The study follows a constructivist philosophy and was conducted according to a descriptive qualitative method, using semi-structured interviews with German and Chinese middle managers working together in the same department in Beijing. The key literature that underpinned the study was based on Albach et al. (2015), Wooldridge et al. (2008) and Ghemawat and Reiche’s (2011) research and concepts. The data obtained were clustered using the Zwicky Box method (Table 5, p. 87; Zwicky, 1969) and a decision matrix (Table 4, p. 86; Lorenz, 2010) to discover the main topics to process as the findings and recommendations. The interview method assisted with the ethical obligation to maintain anonymity, which was essential as the interview partners were sources of in-depth information required to develop the practice-based framework for middle managers. Findings: My findings concern matters such as cultural differences, language issues, hierarchical structures, compliance, relationship-building, technical improvements, good management skills, and corporate culture in joint ventures. The need to improve communication and information flow for middle managers by means of a communication model (Figure 12, p. 104) is a significant finding, as are improving cross-cultural qualifications and instituting appropriate hiring practices. Contribution to knowledge and practice: My findings make a significant contribution to the topic of complex cross-cultural collaboration in joint ventures. The research presents an appropriate communication model and establishes a conceptual framework. Research limitations and implications: The implementation of the model in other industries should be the subject of further research, as it has not yet been implemented.
