Diploma Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Berlin, language: English, abstract: Why are Brands in Focus The commercial banking industry has undergone significant change in the past years. “Today, large commercial banks operate in a far more dynamic marketplace. The cost of funds fluctuates rapidly and there is increased competition from both inside and outside the traditional banking industry.“ With growing competitiveness in the banking industry, and similarity of services offered by banks, it has become increasingly important that banks identify the factors that determine the basis upon which customers choose between providers of financial services. Aaker and Joachimsthaler state “in an increasingly crowded marketplace, fools will compete on price. Winners will find a way to create lasting value in the customer’s mind.”2 But considering the national bank market many banks still do exactly this. They compete on price as the latest campaign of the ‘Commerzbank’ shows (3.1% p.a. until the end of February 2005). Although the last years proved that in times of rapid economic change many German banks are not protected. They experienced the decline of profits, the loss of customers towards new financial providers and reacted with closures of branches and the dismissal of thousands of employees. Then they stepped into the war on price advantages without realising that other banks, like the direct banks, strive to a position that allows cheaper banking. Additionally the image of the national bank representatives is actually influenced by discussion about unethical payment in the management boards and some managers were recently under suspect of agreeing to payments that for other managers who did not deserve it in consideration of the general public. The same customers that receive this news every day shall be the customers that trust the bank employees and do business with them. Modern consumers are even more critical and better informed before stepping into banks. By mass media and sources like the internet they are informed or even inform themselves so it is harder to satisfy them because their general knowledge about banking products is better than a few years ago. Besides they learned from their experiences made in the last years. Hence it is necessary to have a tool to be able to persuade and tie consumers in different ways than the price on the current account. The brand can and must fill this gap. Consumers still are human beings and have emotions that can be influenced.

Book Description
How any business leader can create an atmosphere of competitiveness for exceptional growth When Ray Davis took over the local 40-person South Umpqua Bank in 1994, many people in the industry poked fun at his insistence that employees answer the phone with a cheery "World's Greatest Bank." Eleven years, $7 billion in assets, and 128 branches (or " bank stores" in Umpqua lingo) later, the moniker seems quite apt. Other banks scratched their heads when Davis sent his tellers to Ritz-Carlton to learn customer service and were intrigued when he hired a cutting-edge design firm to completely re-think retail layout. Now, with a top design award under their belt, a name change (there never was a North Umpqua bank), and a completely new definition of the banking business, Umpqua has become the darling of the entrepreneurial press and a growth powerhouse. The New York Times calls Umpqua "Starbucks with tellers." Ray Davis (Portland, OR), named by U.S. Banker as one of the 25 most influential people in the financial industry in 2005, is President and CEO of Umpqua Holdings Corporation. Alan Shrader (Moraga, CA) is an experienced writer and editor of business books.

Book Description
Winner of best book by a foreign author (2019) at the Business Book of the Year Award organised by PwC Russia The future of banking is already here — are you ready? Bank 4.0 explores the radical transformation already taking place in banking, and follows it to its logical conclusion. What will banking look like in 30 years? 50 years? The world’s best banks have been forced to adapt to changing consumer behaviors; regulators are rethinking friction, licensing and regulation; Fintech start-ups and tech giants are redefining how banking fits in the daily life of consumers. To survive, banks are having to develop new capabilities, new jobs and new skills. The future of banking is not just about new thinking around value stores, payment and credit utility — it's embedded in voice-based smart assistants like Alexa and Siri and soon smart glasses which will guide you on daily spending and money decisions. The coming Bank 4.0 era is one where either your bank is embedded in your world via tech, or it no longer exists. In this final volume in Brett King's BANK series, we explore the future of banks amidst the evolution of technology and discover a revolution already at work. From re-engineered banking systems, to selfie-pay and self-driving cars, Bank 4.0 proves that we're not on Wall Street anymore. Bank 4.0 will help you: Understand the historical precedents that flag a fundamental rethinking in banking Discover low-friction, technology experiences that undermine the products we sell today Think through the evolution of identity, value and assets as cash and cards become obsolete Learn how Fintech and tech "disruptors" are using behaviour, psychology and technology to reshape the economics of banking Examine the ways in which blockchain, A.I., augmented reality and other leading-edge tech are the real building blocks of the future of banking systems If you look at individual technologies or startups disrupting the space, you might miss the biggest signposts to the future and you might also miss that most of we've learned about banking the last 700 years just isn't useful. When the biggest bank in the world isn't any of the names you'd expect, when branch networks are a burden not an asset, and when advice is the domain of Artificial Intelligence, we may very well have to start from scratch. Bank 4.0 takes you to a world where banking will be instant, smart and ubiquitous, and where you'll have to adapt faster than ever before just to survive. Welcome to the future.
