Bank of America built its success by leveraging different elements of bank deregulation to grow the company into a national bank in the U.S., one of the country's largest. The driving force behind this success was visionary leadership at the top of the company and the ability to integrate a high growth platform with multiple acquisitions at the more functional managerial levels of the company. Thus, the company's leadership development program has been instrumental to its run of success.
There are seven components to Bank of America's leadership development program. The company believes that leaders matter, especially with respect to creating systems of accountability. The company believes in creating strong links between performance and reward, and it therefore sees talent as a critical enterprise resource.

Bank of International Settlement
Bank for International Settlement
The Bank of International Settlement was founded in 1930 after orld ar I by a group of central international banks. The purpose was to promote cooperation of central banks, provide additional facilities for international operations, and to act as a trustee or agent in regard to international financial settlements. (ood, 2005) It was designed to be the bank of central banks. It was given power in law to work on the behalf of the banks to build their economies and promote cooperation between the international banks.
orld ar I was fought using borrowed funds that had to be repaid. Germany was already facing impending collapse due to the Versailles Treaty of 1919 imposing reparations, which required them to pay 132 billion gold marks per year. The central banks founded BIS with the headquarters in Basle, Switzerland. It took the power to control political systems, world…...
S. The bank expanded into the Chicago market. Bank of America, with a strong California base, was already the largest bank in the U.S. By deposits at that time.
The company completed the largest bank merger in U.S. history with the acquisition of NationsBank. The next major step was the 2004 acquisition of FleetBoston, followed by MBNA, a major credit card company. The bank began to expand outside of the U.S. In 2006. Further additions have been the United States Trust Company in 2006, LaSalle Bank in 2007, Countrywide Financial in 2007 and Merrill Lynch in 2008. These deals have not only enhanced the Bank of America's retail footprint but they have also diversified the business considerably both in terms of geography and in terms of business line. Many of these acquisitions form the core of entire operating groups at Bank of America today. Mergers and acquisitions are a key component…...

(Warnings to be ignored)
The market for interest-rate change is another privileged playground. Banks just pay a low, short-term floating rate and get a high, fixed one. Most of the top 20 American banks receive at least 10% of their profits from this increase, and for J.P. Morgan Chase, it was an astounding 33% last year. (Warnings to be ignored) as well as civilizing their interpretation of the economic tealeaves, banks have become skillful at dispersing the risk of their loans. There has been a pace change in risk management. The expansion over the past decade of markets for dispersing risk among institutions has been extraordinary. For instance, most mortgages are securitized taking them off the books of the originating banks. In the syndicated-loan market, in which one bank or a small group gets together a large number of lenders, which might include pension funds and insurers as well as…...
The Bank of America is not leveraging its assets effectively at present, and this is something that makes it a relatively unattractive investment. In addition, the Bank of America may not be in a position to take advantage of an upswing in the U.S. economy, because the retail housing market is still depressed and the Bank is likely gun-shy about building back its mortgage business. The bank has probably expended much of its political capital as well by letting down that stakeholder group. There is not much cause for optimism therefore I would not invest in Bank of America at present, despite the low stock price.

Bank of America Strategy
Bank of America's Strategic Initiatives Against Competitive Forces in the Global Economy
Bank of America is one of the largest financial institutions in the U.S. As with many other financial institutions, such as Chase, Citigroup and credit unions, Bank of America faces many dynamic forces in the economy, both domestically and globally and Bank of America must engage in several strategic initiatives in order to retain its core competencies, competitive advantage, and operations that continue to drive Bank of America's business toward success.
To do so, Bank of America must continue to be aware of the recent trends such as sovereign debt, housing, unemployment, durable goods, and energy / commodity prices affecting the global marketplace, ensure the strategies they develop are quick to adapt to these changing conditions, and hedge against the risk that economic forces bring.

In the Porter's Five Forces Model, Bank of America's main competitors include JPMorgan Chase, and Wells Fargo. Bank of America does have a lot of key factors working in its favor. The first factor is merely its name. Bank of America's favor are the high capital requirements and the government policies for the financial industry.

Liquidity can be defined as the ability to convert an asset into cash quickly. In order to further explain, we can say that cash is the most liquid of all assets. With respect to financial assets liquidity is an important concept because the volatility of financial markets makes it an asset more valuable in the eyes of investor if its liquidity is high. If a particular asset is easily convertible into cash, we say that it has a high level of liquidity. A liquid asset has features such as rapid sale, with minimum loss of value, in the market. An illiquid asset is one that is cannot be sold readily at market value. Usually, examples of such assets can be found in the form of mortgage-related assets when there is severe economic recession and the housing market falls extensively. Discussing liquidity with respect to financial assets, it can be said…...

Bank egulation -The Way Forward
Since the recession hit the U.S.A. And the effect felt across the globe, there has always been the debate on the role that the banks and the banking system played in occasioning, perpetuating and even failure to stop the recession. Despite the various regulations that exist in the banking system, there are still massive failures like the failure to understand the new business models, inability to monitor and test banks isk analysis and management systems, regulations allowed banks to hold assets and loans off balance sheet without capital backing and overreliance on capital regulation to reduce the probability of banks to fail. Indeed most banks that failed had capital in excess (Mark Carney, 2010).
Our group met and having considered the situation above and the current trend in the banking industry, we came up with consensus that the banking industry needs regulation and very specific kind of…...

Bank of America case study
The modern day working environment is a highly complex and intricate field, in which employees and employers have to continually meet new demands, standards and challenges. Employees, for instance, have to perform new tasks at superior standards, or they have to continually develop their skills.
At the level of the employers, they have to respond to challenges such as increasing roles of employees, increasing competition for talented staffs or changing structures of the workplace, especially due to diversity (Bond, 2007). Despite these challenges, the role of the employer remains that of directing and using the resources of the staffs to attain the business objectives of the firm.
In order to attain this objective, economic agents develop and implement…...

Millbridge Family Service (MFS) is a charitable nonprofit foundation that has been supported by other established umbrella organizations, which in this case, it is supported through a lot of its funding through he Unified Path which is a much larger charitable and national organization that is supported through the donations given by societies businesses and individuals who wish to support and help us in providing other funds and goods and services to smaller foundations such as Millbridge and other family counseling programs in the area which is different for different regions depending on the geographic location. Currently, the Unified Path has been financially assisting Millbridge in their projects to help care for and assist needy families, therefore, the accounting department must keep track of these income and banking statements to keep up with how much Millbridge will owe to Unified even though Unified is allowing Millbridge…...

The current bank statement is for the entire month of June 2011 which is a record of the transactions that were made at the company's bank in order for Millbridge Family Services to receive currency from Unified Path. As you can see, on June 1 Unified Path deposit $50,000 into Millbridge Family Services bank account because Millbridge needed extra funds to support their family counseling program because these services were required by the state. On June 15, 2011 Unified Path deposited an additional $20,000 into Millbridge Family Services bank account to help with the basic funds because of the organization's present underperformance which was due to the lack of volunteers, jobs in the area, and nonpayment of patients without insurance. Unified Path is not demanding that Millbridge repay the money immediately because Millbridge will cooperate and follow the guidelines of Unified Path by paying them back within a six-month timeframe. Therefore, it shows that the total deposit in transit for the month of June from Unified Path to Millbridge Family Services came to the total of $70,000.
Next, Millbridge's monthly bank statement shows the number of either outstanding and cleared checks that were made out from Millbridge to United Path, and the first check, check number 1001, was written for $400 from Millbridge that paid Unified Path for their bookkeeping the for the month of June. Check number 1002 was wrote by Millbridge Family Services for $1,000 in which they made a payment on their loan of $20,000 for the shortfall they had for this month to cover their expenses. Below the checks and activity on the statement shows the total outstanding checks totaled $1,400, therefore, if you take the subtotal of the deposits that were made to Millbridge from Unified Path, of $70,000 and subtract $1,400 that leaves a computed book balance on the bank statement for $68,600.
The bank statement addresses the difference between the deposits and the checks wrote to represent all the money that comes in and goes out of the account for Millbridge Family Services for the entire month of June. The bank statement will be kept on file at the bank that is used, and with both Millbridge Family Services and Unified Path accounting departments in order for these to charitable foundations to keep a record of what monies must be paid back from Millbridge to Unified Path. Therefore if the family services organization can pay back their loans and balance their bank accounts, then Unified Path will help them in the future because of the history they have in working together in order to provide better support and services to families and individuals who are in need of their services.
The money multiplier is a ratio between central bank and commercial bank money and looks at how much commercial bank money can be created with a unit of central bank money. The monetary authorities can influence the supply of money by printing more, but that leads to devaluing of the currency. It is also possible to lower interest rates and make other changes that will lead to an adjustment of the ratio, thus increasing the supply of money and helping the economy.
