The bank has been in existence for more than one hundred (100) years with a combination of great services with convenient banking options and extraordinary customer service. This bank focus is on being the best not necessarily on being the largest like its competitors Citigroup; which is one of the world’s mammoth banks and Bank of America; which is the largest is the United States of America. Team C research provides an explanation using central tendency methods preferably descriptive statistical method. This paper seeks to discuss the definition of the selection using quantifiable measures; discuss the steps of the business research, addressing the problem definition; the research hypothesis; the variables to be tested will be identified as well as the level of measurement and the measurement scale for each variable. According to John B. Taylor in November 2008, which states that, “the empirical research he presents in his paper strongly suggests that specific government actions and interventions should be first on the list of answers to all three questions that he posed, which were; What caused the financial crisis? What prolonged it? Why did it worsen so dramatically more than a year after it began?” Problem Definition Century National Bank is looking to gain business...

...underway in England prior to 1400, and it came to America with the Pilgrims, around 1620.[10] It appears to be closely related to early merchant banking activities. The latter however evolved by extension to non-trade related financing such as sovereign debt.[11] Like all financial instruments, factoring evolved over centuries. This was driven by changes in the organization of companies; technology, particularly air travel and non-face to face communications technologies starting with the telegraph, followed by the telephone and then computers. These also drove and were driven by modifications of the common law framework in England and the United States.[12] Governments were latecomers to the facilitation of trade financed by factors. English common law originally held that unless the debtor was notified, the assignment between the seller of invoices and the factor was not valid. The Canadian Federal Government legislation governing the assignment of moneys owed by it still reflects this stance as does provincial government legislation modelled after it. As late as the current century the courts have heard arguments that without notification of the debtor the assignment was not valid. In the United States, by 1949 the majority of state governments had adopted a rule that the debtor did not have to be notified thus opening up the possibility of non-notification factoring arrangements.[13] Originally the industry took physical possession of the goods, provided cash advances to the...

...Case 1: Century National Bank Checking Account Customers Century National Bank has offices in several cities in the Midwest and in the southeastern part of the U.S. Dr. Robert Lindhal, president and CEO, would like to know the characteristics of his checking account customers. He asked Ms. Sofia Kovalevskaya, Director of Planning, to select a sample of customers and prepare a report. Assume that you work in the Planning Department of the Century National Bank and that you report to Ms. Kovalevskaya.

At this meeting, it is determined that the sample size will be 60 customers from branches in Cincinnati, OH, Atlanta, GA, Louisville, KY and Erie, PA. The variables decided upon are account balance, number of ATM transactions in the past month, number of other bank services used in the past month, whether or not the customer uses a debit card, and whether or not the customer has an interest-bearing checking account.

...Supporting the Hypothesis RES/341 ABSTRACT The Learning Team addressed Century National Bank and the possibility of the banks potential to earn revenue through a reduction in the interest earning accounts regulations and requirements. This week the calculations of the data collected from the data set samples of service and interest for Century National Bank will be the determining factor of the hypothesis. The independent clause is if the required services on interest earning accounts reduce and the dependent clause is the quantity of interest earning accounts will increase, thus leading to an increase in the bank’s revenue. The information gathered from the articles and data provide supporting details or not supporting details toward the hypothesis. The articles used discuss facts about high yield interest earning accounts, concerns about minimum required balance requirements and fees on accounts. Another articles used explained the research by Lin, and the relation between the customer’s expectations and perceptions of the quality of service prior to and post purchase and how it affects the banks. Research from 60 accounts provide results of the customers who have interest earning accounts, the services used, and how many people use the services. Charts demonstrate a clearer understanding of the data collected. Ethical concerns are important when a company changes policies. Changes should retain the customers’ loyalty and trust as the company progresses...

...Global Talent Management Recent developments in management- and academic literature and application of the ING. Talent, from Greek talanton; Latin talenta; a unit of weight or money. Amsterdam Business School Course: Author: Date: Business Studies Seminar, Final Assignment (Paper) Bekir Gündelik #10481745 23-10-2013 1 Introduction The term “talent” dates back to the ancient world (from Greek talanton; Latin talenta) where it was used to denote a unit of weight or money (Talent, n.d.-a; Tansley, 2011). Subsequently, the meaning of talent underwent a considerable change, standing for an inclination, disposition, will, or desire by the 13th century (Talent, n.d.-a). In the 14th century, talent then adopted the meaning of a special natural ability or aptitude, which was probably based on figurative interpretations of the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30) (Talent, n.d.-a). The subtext of this parable conveys that talents—whether they are interpreted as monetary units or natural abilities—are valuable and should not be wasted, and this moral still applies today. This paper set out to identify current developments in global talent management and leadership and the current position of ING Bank (ING) as an employer and facilitator of global talent management programs and leadership programs. The next generation of global talent management practices and solutions will largely be driven by economic evolution, demographic changes, and technology advancements. These factors...

...Cross-Cultural Human Resource Management BUS 357 February 20, 2012 Cross-Cultural Human Resource Management Today’s business world continues to evolve to worldly new levels due to the global market. Before globalization began taking place, business was primarily localized or regionalized within villages, townships and kingdoms. The initial changes of transportation’s or shipping’s delivery methods from the beginning of time by just human delivery to the transportation or shipping of goods and people by methods using horses, donkeys, camels, elephants and other animals began to change access to goods and services from more distant areas, lands and cultures. The innovative minds of humanity began the progression of new transportation, travel, shipping and delivery methods with the inventions of wagons, boats, trains and airplanes. These inventions changed the access to goods and peoples from every point on the globe, resulting in numerous progressions and changes to travel, business and industry around the world. Other new technologies of the telegraph, phone, radio, televisions, satellites and the computer have all changed the communication techniques and access to people and information all over the globe.

...ASSIGNMENT ON GINI COEFFICIENTAND LEARNING CURVES Submitted to: Dr. Muhammad Ziaulhaq Mamun Professor Course Instructor: Operations Management (P-301) IBA, DU Submitted by: Shatabdi Biswas RH-12, Section-A BBA 21st Batch 6 September 2015 Institute of Business Administration, University of Dhaka 1. Gini Coefficient 1.1 Definition The Gini coefficient measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. It is the most commonly used measure of inequality (World Bank). This coefficient, which ranges between 0 and 1 and is based on residents' net income, helps define the gap between the rich and the poor, with 1 representing perfect inequality where only one household has any income and 0 representing perfect equality, where all households have equal income (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). It is named after its developer, Corrado Gini (1884-1965), an Italian statistician of the early 20th century. As with all statistics, when collecting the income data initially, there will always be systematic and random errors. If the data is less accurate, then the Gini coefficient has less meaning. Also, countries may measure the Gini coefficient differently, thus reducing the utility in comparison of the coefficient values between countries (The University of Texas at Austin, 2005). 1.2 Gini Coefficient for income of Bangladesh (as...

...Running head: WEEK 04 WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT Week 04- Written Assignment The Great Depression Kathryn R. Glenn Benedictine University-MBA 510-D532 Economics Ray Bell, Ph.D., Instructor 05/26/2012 WEEK 04- WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT Abstract The economic collapse of 1929, also known as the Great Depression, was the worst economic disaster in the entire history of the U.S. It put millions of people out of work, and made people homeless and hungry. Food and job lines were nearly endless in the cities. The Great Depression was a horrible time for most of Americans. Many people lost their jobs and a lot of businesses closed. This job loss forced many Americans to becoming migrant workers. Based upon research, this paper will explore the root causes that led to the Great Depression and how the late 1920’s leading up to the Great Depression are in contrast to our current economic system. In addition, this paper will examine how the Keynesian economic theory was used to fight the Depression and its effectiveness. Finally, this paper will examine the current U.S. economy to determine if this country could be headed for another Depression in the near future. WEEK 04- WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT Introduction The Great Depression was an economic slump in North America, Europe, and other industrialized areas of the world that began in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. It was the longest and most severe depression ever experienced by the industrialized Western world. Though the U.S...
