Editorial Regarding Bank Consolidation
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses large bank consolidation and the impact it has had on smaller community banks. Despite the fact that community banks were touted as the hope of the banking future for consumers and praised as one way that the American public could and would regain its confidence in the banking system, financial institution mergers are still taking place at a record pace. By returning to the original mission of a community bank, consumers would once again establish a partnership with their “home town banker” as a partner in their family’s or small business’ financial future.

Efficient Market Theory
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the theoretical and empirical validity of the weak, semi-strong and strong forms of the theory. Stock market information remains less than completely reliable, as there are those companies that analysts believe should be performing at much higher levels in terms of stock price than the actual prices would indicate; there are others that analysts consistently report as being overvalued. Insider trading indicates that the strong form cannot possibly be valid. Some researchers claim that the problem lies not with the theory but with our ability to measure results correctly, calling for a non-linear, rather than linear, assessment of data.

Electronic Financing And The Future Of Paper Money
[ send me this paper ]
20 pages in length. The purpose behind the banking industry implementing any change is to augment the capacity of its clientele. Inasmuch as change can be both a beneficial and detrimental endeavor, it is a very wise decision for the industry to wholly investigate all potential gains and losses long prior to employing this important modification. In this day and age, it is critical to the overall success of banking businesses to expand beyond the limited horizons of the past; indeed, to be able to diversify and reach toward loftier goals is only possible in the contemporary market by striving to bring together a variety of networking capabilities. Those like the banking industry that have established a sense of innovation within the framework of their industries have, historically, had positive results in the final outcome; however, to be fair, there have also been those who have attempted to incorporate the concept of such vastness in operation only to find that this particular venture was not as productive as they had anticipated. For the banking industry to follow suit upon the Internet is for it to completely and utterly open up to the whims of progress in the twenty-first century; with the evolution of ATM's, debit cards and the like, the global community is moving forward to the inevitable cashless society.
