IN A CASE STUDY IN THE GERMAN RETAIL BANKING BUSINESS IT IS SHOWN THAT ALIGNMENT BETWEEN IT AND BUSINESS UNIT IS CRUCIAL FOR THE ACTUAL USAGE OF IT SYSTEMS WHICH IN TURN IS A KEY DRIVER FOR BUSINESS PROCESS QUALITY. BANKS SHOULD THEREFORE FOSTER INTERRELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN IT AND BUSINESS AS WELL AS CROSS FUNCTIONAL WORK BIOGRAPHIES OF TEAM LEADERS
INDUSTRIALIZATION TENDENCIES WITHIN THE CREDIT BUSINESS ARE IN PARTS BROADER SOPHISTICATED THAN WITHIN FINANCIAL PROCESSES OF OTHER INDUSTRIES. CREDIT PROCESS MANAGERS OF BANKS ESTIMATE ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND SKILL ACHIEVABLE BY OUTSOURCING TO BE HIGHER THAN CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICERS OF NON-BANKS DO. FURTHERMORE, ECONOMIES OF SCOPE, WHICH INHIBIT SELECTIVE SOURCING, ARE EVALUATED AS LESS PROBLEMATIC.
UNDERSTANDING HOW HOUSEHOLDS REACT TO THE ARRIVAL OF PERMANENT AND TRANSITORY INCOME IS OF INTEREST FOR RESEARCHERS AND REGULATORS. PREVIOUS STUDIES HAD TO USE IMPRECISE SURVEY DATA TO MEASURE CONSUMPTION AND THUS CONCLUSIONS OFTEN DIVERGED. WE LEVERAGE GRANULAR PERSONAL FINANCE MANAGEMENT FINTECH DATA TO TEST FRIEDMAN'S PERMANENT INCOME HYPOTHESIS AND TO ASSESS HOUSEHOLD SPENDING ELASTICITY AND MARGINAL PROPENSITY TO CONSUME FOR VARIOUS SPENDING CATEGORIES IN RESPONSE TO DIFFERENT INCOME TYPES.
AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF FRAGMENTED EUROPEAN EQUITIES TRADING, MARKET OPERATORS HAVE EMPLOYED DIFFERENT STRATEGIES TO INCREASE LIQUIDITY ON THEIR MARKET RELATIVE TO OTHER TRADING VENUES. ONE OF THESE STRATEGIES IS TO INCENTIVIZE LIQUIDITY PROVIDERS VIA FEE REBATES. THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE XETRA LIQUIDITY PROVIDER PROGRAM AT DEUTSCHE BÖRSE AND ITS IMPACT ON LIQUIDITY AND TRADING VOLUME ON THE INTRODUCING MARKET ITSELF AND ON THE CONSOLIDATED EUROPEAN MARKET.
THIS EXPLORATORY STUDY INVESTIGATES DRIVERS OF THE CRYPTOCURRENCY EX CHANGE COMPETITION. WE EXAMINE THE IMPACT OF MARKET-RELATED AND COMMUNITY-RELATED ASPECTS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY EXCHANGES ON TWO DISTINCT TYPES OF COMPETITION. OUR EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF THREE DATASETS INDICATES THAT THE COMPETITION FOR TRADING FREQUENCY IS DRIVEN BY BOTH THE MARKET AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITY WHEREAS THE COMPETITION FOR TRADING QUANTITY IS DRIVEN SOLELY BY THE MARKET.
TO MAKE PROFITABLE INVESTMENT DECISIONS, INVESTORS NEED TO ASSESS THE FINANCIAL FUTURE OF FIRMS. DUE TO INVESTORS’ LACK OF INTERNAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FIRMS’ FUTURE PROSPECTS, THEY OFTEN HAVE TO RELY ON MANAGERS’ VERBAL STATEMENTS FOR THIS TASK. HOWEVER, AS MANAGERS MIGHT HAVE AN INCENTIVE TO PRESENT POSITIVELY BIASED INFORMATION, THE VALUE OF THEIR STATEMENTS FOR INVESTORS IS NOT CLEAR.
IN THIS REPORT, WE SHOW HOW TEXTUAL ANALYSIS TOOLS CAN BE USED TO ASSESS THE VALUE OF MANAGERS’ VERBAL STATEMENTS DURING EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALLS FOR INVESTORS. WE FIND THAT IN PARTICULAR MANAGERS’ NEGATIVE STATEMENTS SIGNI FICANTLY PREDICT LOWER FUTURE EARNINGS.

DIGITIZATION CHALLENGES COMPANIES TO ACCELERATE THEIR INNOVATION CYCLES TO STAY COMPETITIVE. THIS RESEARCH INVESTIGATES HOW IT KNOWLEDGE ESTABLISHED ON DIFFERENT HIERARCHICAL LEVELS LEADS TO ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATIVENESS. DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN STRATEGICALLY MORE AND LESS DIGITIZED ORGANIZATIONS, THE RESULTS REVEAL: ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATIVENESS IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER INFLUENCED BY THE IT KNOWLEDGE OF BUSINESS EMPLOYEES IN ORGANIZATIONS GIVING THE DIGITAL BUSINESS STRATEGY HIGH IMPORTANCE, WHEREAS THE MANAGEMENT’S ROLE DECREASES. WE FURTHER DEDUCE THE CIO’S POSITIVE ROLE FOR IT-ENABLED BUSINESS INNOVATION IN KNOWLEDGE-INTENSIVE INDUSTRIES, SUCH AS THE FINANCIAL SERVICES SECTOR.
THE GROWING DEMAND FOR DIFFERENTIATED QUALITY OF SERVICE REQUIREMENTS OF VARIOUS MOBILE APPLICATIONS ESTABLISHES THE NEED FOR ELASTIC CLOUDLET RE SOURCE ALLOCATIONS. HERE, WE CONSIDER THE DYNAMIC OPTIMIZATION OF RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS IN REMOTE, AS WELL AS EDGE CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURES. WE CONSIDER TIME VARYING APPLICATION DEMANDS AND OPTIMIZE THE CLOUDLET RESOURCE ALLOCATION OVER A FINITE TIME HORIZON SHOWING THAT THE CORRESPONDING COMPUTATIONAL EFFORT IS REDUCED BY THREE ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE.
THE BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY ENABLES ENTITIES TO QUERY AND ALTER INFORMATION WITHOUT TRUSTING A MIDDLE PARTY WHILE PROVIDING A SECURE DATA STORAGE IN A DECENTRALIZED MANNER. WE FOCUS ON AN IT DATA SUPPLY CHAIN SCENARIO WHERE MULTIPLE ACTORS NEGOTIATE A TENANCY AGREEMENT FOR VIRTUALIZED NETWORK RESOURCES. WE PRESENT OUR APPROACH, A BROKERLESS BLOCKCHAIN-BASED SYSTEM THAT USES SMART CONTRACTS AND A VIRTUAL NETWORK PARTITIONING ALGORITHM. WITH THIS APPROACH WE CAN OVERCOME THE INFORMATION DISCLOSER PROBLEM IN THIS SCENARIO.
ENTREPRENEURS OFTEN OVERESTIMATE THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCCESS WHEN PLANNING THEIR OWN ACTIVITIES, WHICH USUALLY RESULTS IN EXCESS MARKET ENTRY. SINCE ENTREPRENEURS CONSIDER THEIR PROJECT AS UNIQUE, THE FORECASTS OF THE FUTURE OUTCOME ARE OFTEN ANCHORED ON THE CASE AT HAND RATHER THAN ON PAST RESULTS OF COMPARABLE PROJECTS – A PHENOMENON KNOWN AS THE PLANNING FALLACY. WE INVESTIGATE WHETHER ENTREPRENEURS SUFFER FROM A PLANNING FALLACY BIAS WHEN PROVIDED WITH HISTORICAL OUTCOMES OF COMPARABLE PROJECTS AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
INDIVIDUALS WITH LOWER SELF-CONTROL OFTEN FAIL IN STICKING TO THEIR PLANS WHEN FACING STRONG TEMPTATIONS. ARE THEY ALSO PRONE TO EXHIBIT INVESTMENT BIASES AND SHOW A MORE IMPULSIVE TRADING BEHAVIOR WHILE FORFEITING POTENTIAL PERFORMANCE IN A FINANCIAL CONTEXT? WE USE CIGARETTE ADDICTION, IDENTIFIED THROUGH CHECKING ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS, AS A PROXY FOR LOW SELFCONTROL AND COMPARE THE INVESTMENT BEHAVIOR OF SMOKERS TO THAT OF NONSMOKERS TO ADDRESS THIS QUESTION EMPIRICALLY.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION COUPLED WITH THE SIMPLIFIED AVAILABILITY OF DATA BRINGS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) CLOSER TO COMMERCIAL USE. FOR THE DATADRIVEN FINANCIAL INDUSTRY, AI IS OF INTENSIVE INTEREST WITHIN PILOT PROJECTS. STILL, FEW AI APPLICATIONS HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED SO FAR. THIS STUDY ANALYZES DRIVERS AND INHIBITORS OF A SUCCESSFUL AI ADOPTION IN THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY BASED ON PANEL DATA COMPRISING 22 SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEWS WITH EXPERTS OF AI IN FINANCE, INCLUDING INTERVIEWEES FROM LEADING SOFTWARE PROVIDERS SUCH AS SAP, IBM, SALESFORCE, AND MICROSOFT. FOR APPLYING AI SUCCESSFULLY, THE GUIDELINES REVEAL SEVERAL DATA CONDITIONS, AI-SPECIFIC ROLE MODELS, AND OVERCOMING MORAL CONCERNS AS CRUCIAL BEFORE TRAINED ALGORITHMS WILL HAVE REACHED A QUALITY LEVEL TO OPERATE WITHOUT HUMAN INTERVENTION.
EXTANT STRATEGY CONCEPTS ARE CHALLENGED DUE TO THE ONGOING DIGITIZATION, WHICH FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGES CONDITIONS FOR ALL MARKET PARTICIPANTS. THIS RESEARCH COMPARES THE CONCEPT OF IT ALIGNMENT WITH THE RECENTLY INTRODUCED “DIGITAL BUSINESS STRATEGY” (DBS), WHICH DESCRIBES A CROSS-FUNCTIONAL AND AGILE FUSION OF BUSINESS AND IT STRATEGY. THE RESULTS REVEAL A TOTAL ABSENCE OF A DIRECT INFLUENCE OF IT LEADERS (CIOS) ON DBS, WHEREAS A HIGH IMPACT ON IT ALIGNMENT IS STILL GIVEN. BUSINESS LEADERS IN TURN IMPACT MORE ON DBS.
IN THE CURRENT REGIME OF LOW INTEREST RATES, TAKING SOUND SAVINGS DECISIONS POSES A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE TO MOST INDIVIDUALS. FUND SAVINGS PLANS ALLOW TO ACCUMULATE PRIVATE SAVINGS VIA AUTOMATED RECURRING INVESTMENTS IN SELECTED FUNDS. LOW FEES AND SMALL MINIMUM INVESTMENT AMOUNTS MAKE THEM A SUITABLE SAVINGS VEHICLE ALSO FOR LOW NET-WORTH INDIVIDUALS. WHILE TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL ADVISORS ONLY RELUCTANTLY PROVIDE ADVICE ON SMALL-SCALE INVESTMENTS, THE RECENT SURGE OF ROBO-ADVISORS ENABLES ACCESS TO ADVICE ON SAVINGS PLAN CHOICES FOR INVESTORS FROM ALL WEALTH BANDS. IN THIS REPORT, WE PRESENT EMPIRICAL RESULTS ON THE IMPACT OF INTRODUCING AN AUTOMATED INVESTMENT TOOL AT A LARGE GERMAN ONLINE BANK ON PRIVATE INVESTORS’ SAVINGS DECISIONS.
