Banking Industry Meltdown: The Ethical and Financial isks
The 2008 financial meltdown has been rated as the worst global economic crisis after the Great Depression of 1930. It shook the financial fabric of all the nations regardless of their economic status. It also led to the closure of most of the world's renowned banks and other financial institutions. Analysts have related the problems and the causes of this meltdown to the failure of the banks in their use of derivatives (Will, Handelman, Brotherton, 2013). Derivatives are defined as the financial arrangements that financial institutions formulate in order to hedge out against a future loss. The nature if these financial assets are that they are highly profitable and at the same time perilous (Beder & Marshall, 2011). The allure of profits is what baits the managers to adopt and use them in their institutions. This study focuses on the ethical dimensions of….

Forces Leading to Changes in the Banking Industry
The banking sector is one of the strongest industries in the whole wide world which has been thought to be one of the industries that is incapable of feeling the adverse effects of a recession. This is not to mean that the industry does not feel any effects, rather it means that the effects felt are not as wide scale as those felt by other industries such as the airline industry and oil industry. Members of the banking industry are the financial institutions and financial intermediaries which accept deposits and then use these deposits to finance their lending activities either directly to customers or through the capital markets. Typically, this industry is one which connects the customers who have capital deficits to those who have surpluses of capital.

The banking sector is thus critical in the financial system and the economy as a whole.….

The growth of Internet has led to a desire to understand the characteristics of the users, their reasons for using the service and what the users do when connected. A huge and expanding 'Internet watching' industry has progressed to provide such data. Some statistics can be collected directly from the Internet about traffic volumes and the geographical segmentation of its users and these provide a reasonably accurate picture of what is happening. The number of host computers which are linked to the Internet continues to expand every year by over 60 per cent and their geographic distribution is concentrated within a very few countries. U.S. dominate the amount of computing power present on the Internet, and accounts for over 60 per cent of all of the host machines. There are some differences in the ways that different countries have responded to this technology. Japan and France have a relatively….

ethical issues in leadership traits that are prevalent in the corporate world. The paper goes on to discuss the solutions that are possible in event of unethical conduct.
LEADESHIP ISSUES: BANKING INDUSTY

Ethics can be defined as those steps that safeguard integrity of an individual or a society. The focus of this paper is however limited to ethics in organizations, belonging specifically to the banking industry.

Acting in accordance with ethics translates into accommodating moralistic behavior into one's conduct. Hence ethical conduct in businesses, though not very popular, plays an important role in formation of a healthy society. For instance the banking sector of any economy plays the key role in circulation of money and hence in maintenance of economy. Since it deals in supplying and receiving funds, it is highly important for it to be ethical in practices in order to safeguard the pool of funds (James J. Lynch. Banking &….

Thanks to innovation and technology, it is no longer necessary for customers to wait in lines to do their banking. Technology has taken "consumers out of lines, reducing their wait times, and giving them control" (DeMarco, 2004). ATMs have been around for decades, and have made routine withdrawal and deposit transactions easy to conduct without teller assistance. Today, this has expanded to online banking.

Banking customers can now do a variety of transactions online, from the comfort of their own home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Online banking allows customers to make transfers, check balances, even pay their bills online, all with a few clicks of the mouse and no waiting. Spencer (2005) offers online banking as one of twenty-four ways to simplify a consumer's life. Offering online banking, as well as ensuring customers know how to utilize the service, not only alleviates lines in the bank lobby,….

Proposition 37 from the standpoint of its impact on California businesses. Is it pro-business or anti-business? What specific advantages does it have? what, if any important benefits does it provide for California? Do they outweigh the costs or inconveniences that they may create?
California is the largest food producer in the United State, and therefore the world. The farmers in the central valley grow mostly vegetable crops, but there is a fair amount grain grown also. Because California farmers grow in an area which is arid and has a propensity for attracting a large number of pests, they have used foods that are sometimes genetically altered to ensure a crop that will produce a fair yield. These genetically altered crops may have adverse health effects which are not apparent in advertising by manufacturers.

The proposition, as it is written, would seem to be anti-business because it takes a significant advantage away from….

Santander is in the global banking industry. Based in Spain, Santander has operations in Europe and Latin America primarily. The current conditions for the banking industry in Europe are challenging, on account of a number of different factors. The euro crisis is perhaps the biggest issue facing the banking industry in Europe, and all European banks are exposed. Santander's exposure is thought to be relatively low as the company is well-capitalized, but some of the solutions to the problem that have been proposed would apply to all European banks, reducing the profitability of Santander if it were to face a situation where it had to increase its capitalization (AFP, 2011).
Beyond the euro crisis, the banking industry is facing a number of other challenges as well. Economic growth, particularly in Europe, is sluggish. This has the affect of reducing loan demand, creating an uncertain earnings environment (Putnis, Stimpson & Marais, 2011).….

worked in the banking industry as an administrative assistant. Extrinsic rewards are those external rewards that motivate behavior (Cherry, 2014). For this job, the extrinsic rewards to take the job and keep the job included a pay package and a range of benefits. There were medical and dental benefits, for example. The pay package also included a bonus, which was based on the operation's total sales volume. I received a percentage of sales as part of my package, which was designed to help me want to contribute to the success of the organization.
Intrinsic motivation is a little bit trickier. Psychologists understand intrinsic motivation as when someone engages in a behavior for the rewards that they believe they will reap. There is no external force that promises these rewards; they are simply what the person believes he or she will get for that behavior (Cherry, 2014). For me, this job….

isk Management Strategies for Developing Countries
The Basel Accords are among the most influential but misunderstood agreements in today's global finance. Developed in 1988 and 2004 (Deventer & Imai, 2003), Basel I and II have brought in a new era of international banking collaboration. Through quantitative and technological requirements, both accords have assisted balance banking regulation, supervision and capital adequacy requirements across the 11 nations of the Basel affiliates and many other developing market economies. Even when the Basel Accords have been used correctly and completely, neither agreement has, properly secured long-term stability within the country's banking industry.

The Basel Committee established Basel I and 11 to reduce credit risk via the minimum specifications of capital of banking institutions. Worldwide operating financial institutions are required to maintain most moderate amount of money based on a percentage of risk-weighted resources. Compared with Basel I, Basel II, which was released initially in 2004, had….

Usury
The definition of usury has evolved over time. The basic premise is that a lender charges a rate of interest that is too high. Today, the standard for usury is defined in law, but initially the practice had no formal definition. Usury was traditionally banned in Christian society, has been criticized in Indian texts, and remains banned in Islamic society. Islamic banking, for example, requires that the lender either earn money from fees, or more commonly the lender exchanges the financing for an equity share, so profit-sharing, as a means of earning money without charging interest (IIBI, 2015)

During the time of King Henry VIII, usury was defined as charging interest. The idea of paying interest was new at the time, as a means of compensating the lender for the risk associated with lending. Interest, however, was not a common concept at least in England before this time. As a result,….

It was irresponsible for banks to operate from a position of absentee management, and the careless ownership enabled reckless conduct from their "agents" who ran the day-to-day operation. While some blame must be placed on the public for continuing to spend at outrageous rates, the bank itself promoted and enabled such activity. Blankfein's argument that no one had been arrested is irrelevant since the issue at hand is whether the financial industry was responsible, not whether bank officials should be arrested. Banks made profound miscalculations concerning interest rates and loans, and should have been aware that their business practices were not feasible toward long-term success (Murphy).
Issue 7 places the theories of authors oger Lowenstein and obert Samuelson against one another. Lowenstein contends that government should bail out economic institutions; however, he does not argue that bailouts are necessary in order to assist the careless companies, but instead asserts that….

shadow banking system, its role in the subprime mortgage crisis, and failures of regulation within the shadow banking system. The term "shadow banking system" was coined by PIMCO's Paul McCulley in 2007 (Spanos, 2012) and refers to a banking system that includes financial intermediaries that are involved in creating credit across the global financial system, whose functions are not subject to regulatory oversight (Investopedia, 2012). The question has been debated as to whether shadow banking meets the definition of true banking. Given that the two systems perform similar functions, including credit intermediation and maturity transformation, the two should be considered parallel systems (Noeth and Sengupta, 2011).
The term shadow banking is used to describe any provision of credit taking place outside of the traditional deposit-funded lending system. This definition includes institutions that range from pawnbrokers and consumer finance companies to securities dealers as well as firms that issue corporate bonds.….
