What will be the bank of the future and what will be the prevailing business models?
The BifeLab designs bank success strategies in a changing scenario. The environment in which they operate is under pressure from several fronts: banking risk regulation based on strict and stringent rules, advanced information technologies, governance that is increasingly attentive to the needs of stakeholders and to the protection of the environment, social interests and gender diversity.
The team of researchers examines how the changes taking place are changing the work of banks and how they can respond by repositioning their business.
