Creating the Future with All Finance and Financial Conglomerates
comprises an academic search for an understanding of all finance
and financial conglomerates. It presents a strategic and economic
analysis of diversification strategies and the growing interface
between different types of financial firms. On the basis of a solid
analysis of theoretical foundations and practical value, the book
develops basic concepts of creating the future: especially
solutions in managing risks and fresh ideas for the development of
integrated financial services. The structure of the book is
logical: starting on theoretical foundations (section 1, part A)
and examining the economic value of All Finance and Financial
Conglomerates (part B), leads to creating a concept for the future
(part C). Case studies add additional practical value to this
research. The review of the subject is completed by aspects of risk
management in this sector and by political guidelines for the EU
single market (section 2). The book builds further on Professor Van
den Berghe's first publication, entitled Financial Conglomerates -
New Rules for New Players (published by Kluwer Academic Publishers
in October 1995) and broadens the scope in the direction of
strategic and managerial aspects. The following five aspects
underline the innovativeness of the material: The volume is not
only focused on the diversification of banks via `bancassurance',
but also analyses in depth the parallel developments in the
insurance market, whereby insurers and insurance intermediaries
launch themselves in the direction of `assurfinance'; The material
analyses not only the cross-selling of each other's products and
the blurring of the market boundaries, but also the
diversification, collaboration, and integration on all other levels
and functions; New conceptual tools (the financial conglomerates
control board) are developed to provide a more in-depth comparison
of the many cases of this international trend; The book goes far
beyond the categorisation of the mode of diversification, by
looking at all managerial aspects of such a growth strategy; and
The work looks at the economic and legal aspects involved as well
as at the more strategic and managerial aspects. This research has
been made possible thanks to the financial support of The LEVOB
Foundation.
