The core business of the retail banking industry and the banking industry as a whole involves taking risks mainly when offering credit facilities to borrowers. It is for this reason that the risk taking behavior of a bank will always have an impact on the bank’s profitability and ultimately on whether or not the bank remains a going concern. This is despite that in a number of countries the non-interest income on banks is growing in importance; after-all loans constitute the largest share of bank’s assets.
Over the years there has been a significant amount of research on the effects of competition on the risk taking behavior of banks and hence their stability. This has been coupled with inquiries by different competition authorities around

They dub the first view as the competition-fragility view and the second view as the competition-stability view. On one hand, the competition-fragility view which is similar to what is known as the franchise value paradigm points out to a negative relationship between competition and financial stability which can be explained to mean that with increased competition banks become reckless, taking more risks to increase profits and as a result becoming unstable. The competition-stability view on the other hand points to a positive relationship between competition and stability which implies a positive relationship between competition and the risk taking behavior of …show more content…
Theory suggests that there are two hypotheses that explain the relationship between competition and the risk taking behavior of banks, namely: the competition-fragility view, also known as the Franchise value paradigm; and the competition stability view. It is also assumed that the more risk that the banks take the more profitable it will be, however that is as long as the risks do not materialize. One study by Tan and Anchor (2016) confirms this relationship between risk taking and profitability as it finds that higher profitability leads to higher bank fragility. With this relationship always assumed to hold most researches tend to focus on the relationship between competition and the risk taking behavior of

After the initial practice round, we understood that in order for our team to be effective we needed to look deeper into our situation and have a complete understanding of the market, the dynamic nature of corporate strategy and its short and long-term effects before we made any decisions. While we split the various sections up between group members, all of our decisions were made as a collective group; because we were aware that a bad decision in one segment could have severe implication for another. Over the course of each round, we were very conscience of how the consumer’s taste and preferences were changing within the market. With the knowledge and understanding how crucial this was we made it a priority to adjust our numbers that provided us
Regulating the Regulators explores some of the conditions and events relating to the supervision and discipline of Ontario teachers in the nineteenth century. The chapter also examines the way in which the controls and structures were altered. In the beginning, the control of the schooling system resided with each individual community. This changed over time and by the 1870s the provincial state had assumed control and regulation of teaching and schooling alike. As a result, moral regulation became the overall purpose of the newly restructured schooling system and for this reason training for teachers was then closely managed.
This bank could cause a depression because people will get worried and pull money out of their banks which will close down those banks and cause a chain reaction and move towards bigger banks. Which means it has to end when it is small before it snowballs and gets bigger and bigger. The appeal comes from using someone else who is more prominently involved in the business world to strengthen his argument. It allows the reader to fully understand the situation that is going on so that they do not have to panic and pull all of their money out of the bank. This reverts back to the purpose of giving the reader more insight to a situation that could affect them and the author gives their view on how even small banks can pose a threat to causing another depression.
Beginning with bank reform, the New Dealers were able to maintain oversight in the banking industry, which had previously been an unregulated and unpredictable source of capital. The Glass-Steagal Act and the Emergency Banking Act signaled a shift from a lassiez faire approach to the banking industry to one that ensured banks were making responsible loans and not gambling with depositor’s savings in the stock market. By not allowing banks who were considered “irresponsible’ to reopen and separating the savings and investment functions of the banks, a more secure system began to emerge. The impact of this legislation was immediate, as bank failures dropped dramatically. Additionally, major breakdowns in the banking industry were avoided until fairly recently, which came as a result of the repeal of Glass-Steagal.
There are thousands of banks that compete with each other to get people to chose their banks. The banks also offer different products and services. The banks are not offering the same products and services. Because of this I feel that my bank fits under the monopolistic competition category. 5.

Further, it was important for us to identify our customer(s) as the whole operations and marketing strategies revolved around this key decision. We were certain that as consultants we will focus on B2B and target the established distillers like the Beckett’s and Dodd’s. We further sketched the B2C marketing plans for these businesses.

Porter’s article has strong analysis and provides persuasive examples to support his argument. He carefully explains the five forces and demonstrates how they affect the competition in business. For example, when discussing about rivalry among existing competitors, Porter briefly mentions about different forms of rivalries and its intensity. After that, he analyzes the situations that lead to different level of intensity in rivalry carefully. Porter illustrates that “ The intensity of rivalry is greatest if: Competitors are numerous or are roughly equal in size and power…Industry growth is slow…

• In China, government regulation and policies regarding food products are very strict due to various food safety scandals in recent years. All biscuit manufacturers have to reach the state standard requirements for quality, packaging etc. (IBISWorld, 2010). In order to meet the tightened regulatory requirements on food quality and environment protection, this would require huge investment in stringent quality and hygiene control measures for new entrants (Euromonitor, 2014). • Existing competitors that have achieved economies of scale in production has an advantage over new entrants in terms of the burdening of overall expenditures
1.0 INTRODUCTION In an economy, there exists different market structures to accommodate different industries and firms. This study will be made to understand in further depth the market power of different market structures, and in particular an example of using case studies of agricultural sector of the French markets to explain how an ideal perfectly competitive market works. This will then be further strengthened with several references linked to the case study. 1.1 Monopoly market
