...Case Analysis of Bank of America: Mobile Banking Marcus J. Durr Professor Trittipo AMBA 650 Section 9047 January 31, 2012 Abstract During the tough time for the banking industry when many banks have gone into bankruptcy or have began add numerous fees to their service in order to stay afloat; Bank of American (BoA) has also experienced some of the effects of the financial crisis. In an effort to weather the storm BoA began to incorporate mobile banking. While its competitors were implementing their own mobile banking through mobile apps, mobile web, and short message system (SMS), BoA focused on the mobile app and mobile web only. This case analysis takes a look at some of the major strategic issues and problems, such as BoA leaving out a portion of their target market by opting out of using SMS, which left a portion of their market base outside in the cold. However there are some positives, that BoA realized and took swift action to capitalize on the fast emerging market of mobile banking. In the conclusion, recommendations are given on what BoA can do to keep a stable position in the future, as mobile banking will have a huge impact on the banking industry. Case Analysis of Bank of America: Mobile Banking In the banking industry Bank of America has grown to become a household name and evidence of their marketing efforts through all channels can be seen just about everywhere you go. Over the past few years the banking industry has surly gone through some turbulent...

...society functions in a mere decade. The debate about whether smartphones have an impact on society is long over and the answer is obvious, the debate has now focused on whether the impact is more positive or negative. Though the smartphone has made communication much easier, it has also created a less social society favors communication over the phone rather face to face (Ferren). I found this research topic interesting because I am one of many people that have grown up in the age of technology. The exigence of this paper is rooted in my interest in the future communication skills my generation and the impacts that smartphones have on not only myself but those around me. The purpose of this paper is to inform an audience about the impacts of smartphones on society, the purpose is not to persuade or convince. The smartphone has become so large and so ingrained in our society it has already began to leave it’s print, the nature of that print is unraveling currently and whether it will be positive or negative is still largely up for debate. There is no argument that though smartphones have increased our availability of communication, every second spent on a phone is a second not spent observing the world and the “usage of these devices may be stealing the most valuable moments of life away” (Perlow). One of the most common arguments that support the idea that smartphones have a negative effect on society is the argument that smartphones have taken our focus away...

...of credit card bills. It should also allow users to take benefit of mobile banking service regardless of being online user. Instead of concentrating on binding people to use both mobile and online banking they should concentrate more on customer satisfaction. Mobile banking is a very convenient channel to interact with clients as compared to other channels, as it is fast and can be accessed at any time from any place around the globe. BOA might have an adverse effect on its market share as compared to its peers/ competitors who are dominating the mobile banking market by providing more features/ functionality to the mobile applications. BOA can reduce operational and transaction costs in long run by providing more functionality in its mobile application and promoting its unique features. Moreover the cost of development of the application is very expensive. Second, it should classify its market segments based on Exhibit 3b (Global Consumer and Small Business Banking, Global Corporate and Investment Banking, Global Wealth and Investment Management) then designs a specialized application based on the needs of the target market. The advantage is that it would step ahead of its competitors in providing customized solution for each market listed above. In turn, it will increase customer satisfaction and that would lead to expand its current market in each segment. This will result in increasing mobile banking by integrating BOA’s business line spreading its platform to increase more...

...SMART PHONE IMPACTS AND THE YEARS TO COME Introduction Smart phones have become a vital part of our everyday existence both in positive and negative ways. Very few of us can go an hour without checking our phones. Whether we are shopping, banking, listening to music, looking up ailments, or texting, we use our phones. Passwords, account numbers, and photos can all be stored on a tiny SD card usually no more than 16 gigabytes. Smart phones have impacted our relationship with music, changed the way we shop, and modified the way we manage our finances. Smart phones have drastically changed the way we live today, and will only continue to develop and reshape our lives in the future. Summary of Key Findings One major impact that smart phones have had is in the music industry. Today one doesn’t even have to leave home in order to buy the newest CD. All one has to do is download the music off one of the many free MP3 applications. Most smart phones are equipped with an MP3 player so users can listen to their favorite songs. This has caused a dramatic decline in revenue for stores that sell music. In fact, according to Ex TuneCore CEO, Jeff Price," In 2011 in the U.S., just eight years after the launch of iTunes, digital music sales generated more revenue than physical music sales in the United States” ( Smith, 2012). Napster set the stage and many others quickly followed. Artists have felt the pinch from the sources of music piracy as well. Smart...

...While green banking is not yet a key reason for most customers to select one financial institution over another, customer demands and greater environmental awareness are driving a number of financial institutions to go green. Environment is a key focus amongst ethical banks (in this field specially called sustainability or green banks) as well as amongst many conventional banks that wish to appear more ethically oriented or that see switching to more environmental practices to be to their advantage. In general bankers “consider themselves to be in a relatively environmentally friendly industry (in terms of emissions and pollution). However, given their potential exposure to risk, they have been surprisingly slow to examine the environmental performance of their clients. A stated reason for this is that such an examination would ‘require interference’ with a client’s activities. While the desire to not meddle in the business of the client is valid, one could also note that banks are required to interfere in the business of their clients regularly to ensure that the clients’ business plan is viable before issuing them a loan. The kind of analysis that all banks partake in is termed a single bottom line analysis (this analysis only considers financial performance). It is arguable whether or not performing a triple bottom line analysis (an analysis that takes into account environmental, social, and financial performance) would be any more intrusive in case of banking sector. As...

...Case Studies in Management MGMT 0475 10/20/12 Bank of America Corporation Cohesion Case Harris-Stowe State University Bank of America Corporation has been one of the leading banking companies in the United states with over 5,800 banking locations and another 300 abroad. One of the reasons that they are leading the front is because of the IT system that they have implemented. BoA has so many opportunities for online banking, whether it be from your laptop, mobile device or tablet. Also, with their new ATM systems you can deposit cash or a check without ever talking to an employee. One of the largest reasons for Bank of America’s success as a leading banking organization is their ability to attract customer relationships. There are many ways to attract the eye of a customer but the aspect that Bank of America uses to perfection is their Internet and online technologies. With over 18,000 ATM’s across the U.S. you can withdraw money at anytime with ease. Also with their ATM check deposit you can deposit check’s or cash at anytime with the 24 hour ATM service. Along with that they have mobil banking that I use daily. With the simple download of the Bank of America app you can check your statements, pay bills, or transfer funds right on your phone.

...discuss the impact of the Information Superhighway/ Internet on CB Financial Bank Focus will be emphasized on current business issues such as customers’ online banking, fraud and identity theft prevention and information security strategies utilized at CB Financial. Employee job loss due to customers’ increased use of information technology (ATMs) will be briefly addressed. Proposed solutions and suggested recommendations to resolve these issues will be made to the CB Financial Executive Committee to be expedited over a three year period. 1 Introduction The Internet has become the Information Superhighway of choice for an ever increasing number of financial institutions such as CB Financial Bank. The impact of the Internet has changed the banking system as its customers once knew it. Numerous research studies suggest that the utilization of the Internet plays a fundamental role in a firm’s ability to enhance business performance through innovations in products, channels and customer segments (Sambamurthy & Grover, 2003; & Tanriverdi, 2005). Banks are making significant investments on the Information Superhighway to align business strategies enable innovative functional operations and provide extended enterprise networks (Tubin, 2008). Much of the fundamental and pervasive change in the financial services industry and the pace at which it is taking place is driven by extraordinary advances in computing and telecommunications technology.
