Book Description
This note explores the interactions between new technologies with key areas of commercial law and potential legal changes to respond to new developments in technology and businesses. Inspired by the Bali Fintech Agenda, this note argues that country authorities need to closely examine the adequacy of their legal frameworks to accommodate the use of new technologies and implement necessary legal reform so as to reap the benefits of fintech while mitigating risks. Given the cross-border nature of new technologies, international cooperation among all relevant stakeholders is critical. The note is structured as follows: Section II describes the relations between technology, business, and law, Section III discusses the nature and functions of commercial law; Section IV provides a brief overview of developments in fintech; Section V examines the interaction between technology and commercial law; and Section VI concludes with a preliminary agenda for legal reform to accommodate the use of new technologies.

Book Description
This much-anticipated updated edition of this digital-first playbook equips a new generation of leaders to win in a business landscape dominated by disruption. Since the publication of the first edition over six years ago, the analysis and predictions presented in The Digital Matrix have played out in the global economy, as more industries have gone digital-first. Some legacy companies have gone under in the interim, while others continue to grapple with the question of how to pull off a life-saving digital transformation. The digital giants and tech entrepreneurs are no longer at the periphery of traditional industries but have emerged as the rule-makers in industries as diverse as financial services, health care, media and entertainment, retailing, and automotive sectors. The Digital Matrix will help you understand the three types of players that are shaping the new business landscape; the three phases of transformation that every firm will encounter on its journey to business reinvention; and the three winning moves that will ensure your company’s success along the way. With The Digital Matrix, you will: Learn to navigate the world of digital ecosystems Discover ways of competing and collaborating with other companies to create and capture value Realize how powerful machines can amplify your company’s human talent Learn to assemble the team to experiment with new ideas, re-examine your core beliefs, and reinvent your business rule book for the digital future Digital technology has proved to be essential for navigating the uncertainties of work, health, and life during the pandemic; and it will prove to be more central to how companies refine their strategies and business models for the postpandemic world. The defining challenge for today’s generation of managers (who will be tomorrow’s leaders) is to prepare their organization to discard the rules perfected in the industrial age and develop their own unique rule book for their digital future. Your company’s future depends on its ability to harness digital technology. Don’t wait!

Book Description
At the same time that the pace of science and technology has greatly accelerated in recent decades, our legal and ethical oversight mechanisms have become bogged down and slower. This book addresses the growing gap between the pace of science and technology and the lagging responsiveness of legal and ethical oversight society relies on to govern emerging technologies. Whether it be biotechnology, genetic testing, nanotechnology, synthetic biology, computer privacy, autonomous robotics, or any of the other many emerging technologies, new approaches are needed to ensure appropriate and timely regulatory responses. This book documents the problem and offers a toolbox of potential regulatory and governance approaches that might be used to ensure more responsive oversight.
