  • Will Digital Payment Systems Replace Paper Currency? by Hannah H. Kim July 19, 2019 – Volume 29, Issue 26 Intr
    7/19/2019 The Future of Cash: CQR Will digital payment systems replace paper currency? By Hannah H. Kim July 19, 2019 – Volume 29, Issue 26 Sections Introduction While cash continues to circulate widely in the United States, many consumers, as well as many business experts, believe paper money will soon become antiquated. Advocates of a cashless society point to countries such as Sweden and to some Chinese cities where mobile payment applications are supplanting paper currency. In the United States, digital payment systems are helping to change consumer habits, and some businesses have stopped accepting cash. Advocates of a cashless society argue that credit and debit cards and digital payment methods are efficient and transparent and inhibit financial crimes. Because cash is anonymous and largely untraceable, it can facilitate illicit activities such as tax evasion and money laundering. Critics of the cashless trend raise concerns regarding privacy, security and equality. They argue that cash lacks the fees associated with cards or electronic money transfers and that cashless businesses discriminate against people who must, or choose to, rely on cash. In the face of this criticism, some businesses that went cashless are reversing course. Street musician Peter Buffery, with his custom guitar that allows him to accept cashless donations, performs in London's Soho Square.

    The Chase Manhattan Corporation Competitive Outlook Post Mergers· and Associated Corpora,,~ Restructuring in the "New Era" ofWorld Banking Charles M Becker, TCU EdwardM McNertney, TCU Abstract This paper examines the financial position ofthe Chase Manhattan Corporation as it prepares to enter a "new era" of increasingly stringent worldwide competition for banking services. The study is based primarily on accounting data analysis from appropriate corporate documents. These included audited annual reports as well as SEC Form 10K's. Introduction The authors of this paper decided to undertake an investigation of one of America's premier wholesale banks, Chase Manhattan Corporation, in an effort to ascertain its current and recentfinancial status and performance relative to its ability to compete into the future. One disclaimer that should be clearly understood from the beginning of this exercise follows: the authors make no claim, either explicit or implicit that the "new era" competitive position ofThe Chase Manhattan Corporation can be analyzed in terms of a simple model such as a Von Neumann-Morganstern two person zero sum game model.! It would be convenient indeed ifthings were so simple that one could treat the situation as a case ofChase against the world or some world proxy. Unfortunately Chase competes already on an international scale against a host offoreign as well as domestic rivals who in addition compete directly against one another for dominance within the New York Clearinghouse regional area. 2 This being the case it was decided to attack the issue at hand by conducting an analysis of Chase Manhattan Corporation as a stand-alone entity.

  • Chemical Bank
    Chemical Bank 1 1 Abstract In 1993, Chemical Bank and Manufacturer’s Hanover merged and launched a metropolitan markets division that targeted customers and small businesses in New York City. Retail banking was experiencing slow revenue growth, rising costs, increasing outflows of deposits to mutual funds, and more demanding customers. Chemical Bank’s new three-pronged strategy involved over 100 major initiatives for changing every part of the business. The executive team felt strongly that this scope and depth of change would require strong management. They selected the Balanced Scorecard as a tool for focusing and controlling these change efforts. They also found it useful on two occasions for reducing the number of retail branches while minimizing account losses. This case study covers the years 1993-1996. Chemical Bank achieved the following as a result of its Balanced Scorecard implementation: • Retained 85-90% of targeted customer accounts in spite of massive branch closings resulting from merger with Manufacturers Hanover. • Retained 95-100% of targeted account balances when a second merger was completed in with Chase Manhattan in 1996. Chemical Bank exemplifies the following principles of a Strategy-Focused Organization: • Translate the Strategy • Mobilize Change Through Executive Leadership • Make Strategy a Continual Process 2 Background In 1991, Chemical Bank and Manufacturers Hanover Corporation completed one of the largest bank mergers in history to become the Chemical Banking Corporation (CBC). This new entity grew still larger during the initial years of its Balanced Scorecard implementation (1993-96) to become the second largest bank in the United States. In 1996 it merged with Chase Manhattan Bank to become the largest bank in the nation, operating under the name of Chase Manhattan Corporation.
