Abstract

This study compares the African Continental Free commerce Area (AfCFTA) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) on regional trade, economic growth, and geopolitics. This study examines how these agreements affect regional trade and economic integration using a thorough evaluation of recent empirical data and theoretical frameworks. A comprehensive literature analysis, data extraction, and quality assessment from multiple academic databases for 2010–2024 research are used. AfCFTA is projected to expand intra-African trade especially the manufacturing and agriculture sector, and is anticipated to enhance Africa's GDP. RCEP has increased trade volumes also. According to Viner's theory of trade formation and diversion, these agreements are crucial to economic stability and regional cooperation. This study sheds light on regional trade agreements' economic benefits and encourages future research on their long-term socio-economic and policy ramifications.

Abstract

This study examines the perspectives of Nigerian fintech entrepreneurs on knowledge management (KM) techniques, with the goal of comprehending the influence of KM on innovation and decision-making. The study centers around 43 individuals who are founders or co-founders of fintech companies, all of whom are part of the Young Founders Community in Nigeria. Data was collected and analyzed using an online questionnaire distributed through Google Forms. The study involved descriptive and inferential statistics, along with theme analysis for qualitative replies. The findings indicate that the respondents typically consider their knowledge management systems to be effective. It was observed that frequent knowledge-sharing activities have a substantial impact on innovation and decision-making. The main obstacles mentioned encompass technological impediments, cultural opposition, and insufficient infrastructure. These observations emphasize the significance of strong knowledge management techniques in enhancing competitive advantage and emphasize the necessity for specific tactics to overcome difficulties in implementation. This study adds to the existing knowledge in the field of knowledge management (KM) by presenting factual data from a developing market setting. Additionally, it provides practical suggestions for improving KM systems in financial technology (fintech) companies. Subsequent investigations should delve into the enduring effects of knowledge management (KM) and conduct comparison analyses across many geographical areas and sectors.
