Comparative Analysis of U.S. Banking Industry with Rising Interest Rates and Exchange Rate of the U.S. Dollar
[ send me this essay ]
A 60 page paper discussing aspects of the state of the banking industry and examining the three leading competitors in the industry. Of all of the trends affecting today’s banking industry, consolidation and currency issues are of greatest interest here. Bank of America appears to have less interest in operating internationally than do Citigroup or JP Morgan Chase, but Bank of America actively seeks to serve large businesses. There are not many large businesses today that can survive as well as prosper without maintaining international business in some form. The purpose here is to assess how interest rate movement and forward exchange rates can be expected to affect the banking industry’s three largest competitors in the short- to mid-range future. The paper recommends that Citigroup and Bank of America bring their current assets and current liabilities closer together, and that they, as has JP Morgan Chase already, add balance sheet categories specifically for trading liabilities, including derivative payables. Includes 8 tables and 3 charts. Bibliography lists 96 sources in 79 footnotes.

Competition Factors & Risk Management
[ send me this essay ]
A 14 page research paper evaluating two common, but fairly new, business risk factors: sustained slow economic growth and increased (intensive) competition. These two factors affect nearly every industry in the industrialized nations today, but the focus in this paper is only on their effects on the overall retail industry in the United States. Economic growth is only briefly discussed, and only in its relationship to increased competition.
