    UBS: Wealth Management BACHELOR THESIS (CASE STUDY) UBS: THE WAY TO BECOMING A GLOBAL PLAYER IN WEALTH MANAGEMENT "On which critical foundational factors are UBS and its leadership in Wealth Management built and with which major event is the current UBS crisis to be explained?" AUTHOR: ALAIN NTJAM OLTEN, AUGUST 9, 2013 SUPERVISOR: DR. KONDOVA GALIA INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT Alain Ntjam August 2013 1 UBS: Wealth Management Abstract Purpose: The objective of this bachelor thesis is to analyze in a case study manner, how the big Swiss bank UBS evolved and became a global player in wealth management. The guiding research question is: ‘On which critical foundational factors is UBS and its leadership in wealth management built, and with through which major event can the current UBS crisis be explained? Methodology and approach: The first analytical tool of this paper is the PEST analysis that aims to find out which environmental condition in the 1990s facilitated the UBS merger and how it came to the merger. The motives for its direction of growth will be analyzed to understand the bank's strategic intent in regards to wealth management and the bank's growth path. The next chapter seeks to understand the corporate ‘one firm strategy’ of UBS, how it relates to its organizational chart and which role the North American wealth management market plays within the organization. Further a comparison to Credit Suisse is made. The last chapter within the main part of the thesis attempts to sort out the significant activities of the value chain which creates or adds wealth management value for clients.

Suit dismissed. April 23, 1996 U.S. Senate Banking Committee, headed by Senator Alfonse D’Amato, held hearings on the Swiss banks dealing with World War II dormant accounts. May 2, 1996 The Swiss Bankers Association created the Independent Committee of Eminent Persons (ICEP), chaired by Paul Volcker, to audit records of the Swiss banks on wartime dormant accounts. October 1996 The modern era of Holocaust asset litigation began with the filing of the first of three class action lawsuits against the Swiss banks in federal district court in Brooklyn, New York. January 1997 The third class action suit was filed against the Swiss banks by the World Council of Orthodox Jewish Communities. xiii xiv Holocaust Restitution Timeline January 8, 1997 Christoph Meili discovered the Union Bank of Switzerland attempting to shred pre–World War II financial documents.

  • The Holocaust Restitution Movement in Comparative Perspective

    The Holocaust Restitution Movement in Comparative Perspective

    The Holocaust Restitution Movement in Comparative Perspective By Michael J. Bazyler* I. INTRODUCTION This article examines the use of civil litigation in the United States to deal with human rights abuses committed during World War II. The specific scena- rio examined is the Holocaust restitution movement in the United States, whose aim is to obtain financial restitution from European and American corporations 1 for their nefarious wartime activities. This article also examines other move- ments aiming to bring justice for historical wrongs that arose as a direct result of the successes achieved in the Holocaust restitution arena. Three such prominent movements are: (1) the lawsuits filed in the United States by victims of slave labor by Japan and Japanese industry during World War II; (2) the recent claims in U.S. courts of the survivors of Armenian genocide for reimbursement of the insurance proceeds paid by their deceased relatives; and (3) the emerging call for African-American reparations stemming from slavery. All of these move- ments are a direct outgrowth of the successful claims achieved in the Holocaust restitution arena. Finally, this article discusses the emerging debate about the propriety of seeking monetary damages for historical wrongs, especially as it has now emerged in the sphere of Holocaust-era litigation. The fact that American courts are being used today to deal with wrongs committed during World War II, over one-half century after the events took place, is astounding. In the history of American litigation, no class of cases has ever appeared in which so much time had passed between the wrongful act and the filing of the lawsuit.

    The Prehistory and Reception of Leonard Bernstein's Missa

    The prehistory and reception of Leonard Bernstein’s Missa Brevis (1988) by Patrick Connor Dittamo B.A., College of William and Mary, 2013 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF MUSIC School of Music, Theatre, and Dance College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 Approved by: Major Professor Craig Weston Copyright © 2019 Patrick Connor Dittamo. All rights reserved. Abstract Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990) commonly repurposed previously-written material in new compositions, including his Missa Brevis (1988), which adapted significant portions of his incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s play The Lark (1955), itself an adaptation of French playwright Jean Anouilh’s play L’Alouette (1953) about the trial of Joan of Arc. Based on an assessment of The Lark’s mixed reception history as a play, Bernstein’s score, recorded by the New York Pro Musica, deserves some credit for the original Broadway run’s considerable success. Bernstein’s Medieval- and Renaissance-inflected score was written shortly before the play’s tryout run in Boston, and used fragments of verse by Adam de la Halle (c. 1245-1288/1306) and Jean-Antoine de Baïf (1532-1589), as well as the tune of the French folksong “Plantons la Vigne,” and not the commonly-cited “Vive la Grappe.” Bernstein and the New York Pro Musica were well- compensated for their contributions to The Lark; however, during the play’s national tour, there was a pay dispute over reduced royalties between Bernstein’s agent and the play’s management. Before the New York premiere of The Lark, Bernstein expressed a belief that its incidental score held a viable “kernel of a short mass,” and considered using a Lark-based missa brevis to fulfill a commission for Juilliard’s fiftieth anniversary, an idea he ultimately abandoned.

    Whistleblowing a Suitable Instrument to Improve Public Corporate Governance?

    Whistleblowing A suitable instrument to improve public corporate governance? Albert E. Hofmeister 1. Background Academic as well as practitioner-oriented discussions have been dominated by concepts around economy, efficiency and effectiveness for many years. Whether or not this had a positive impact on the performance of the public sector as a whole is difficult to say, given the changing environment. Overall, the public ma- nagement reforms show a mixed balance: Clear «success stories» contrast with obvious failures. What is clear, though, is that performance is difficult to define and measure and that there is a clear preference for quantitative approaches, which are not always the most important ones. In addition, there might be a bias towards measuring primarily what puts an organisation in a good light, instead of what is important for the decision makers and the politicians setting the ob- jectives. Not only have the difficulties around performance measurement showed that successful reforms strongly depend on qualitative aspects and conditions. In this context, transparency is a key requirement. The lack of transparency was an im- portant driver behind a number of financial scandals, which occurred in past ye- ars. This has triggered a broad governance discussion, underpinning the impor- tance of ethical and moral aspects in economic activities. These aspects are key in order to ensure credibility and sustainability. Over the past years, this discus- sion has expanded its focus to the public sector. In this context, the call for transparency plays an important role. Actually, it is the job of the common management tools – «Controlling» and «Auditing» – to ensure the required level of transparency.
