Three judges were used to code a sample of the material, and inter-agreement percentages were calculated for each coder. The results of the subject matter and directional analysis are presented in tables …

Unionism In The Field Of Banking, William Gardiner

Theses and Dissertations

In the forty-five years since the first labor bank was chartered, unions have enjoyed little success in organizing bank employees.

The unique aspects of the banking industry have in the past dissipated drives of any 1113.gnitude directed at individual segments of the industry, while rendering any organizational campaign across the entire banking front unfeasible. The close relationship between worker and management, the …

Electronic Data Processing Feasibility Study Machinery For Commercial Banking Firms, David W. Howell

Theses and Dissertations

Electronic Data Pro9essing is one of the most significant developments in recorded history. Many commercial banks have computers installed on their premises or lease computer time from a service company. A significant proportion of the installed systems are underutilized both in the number of applications programmed and total computer run times. This is a result of bank management's ignorance of electronic data processing characteristics and the subsequent poor and incomplete planning.

A commercial banking firm should establish electronic data processing feasibility study machinery on a. permanent basis. The creation of a permanent staff of junior bank executives should ensure intelligent …
