Track 29: Financial management, financial services, financial markets
The current subprime crisis in the Unites States shows that the increased earnings of the last years in the financial service industry are endangered without an adequate risk management. Therefore, the optimization of companies’ risk/return positions gains more and more importance. This goal can be achieved for instance by IT to improve the understanding of the customer and the service quality; likewise product and process innovation considering legal changes (e. g. MiFiD or final withholding tax) as well as strategic alliances within the industry and beyond in networks with efficient information management. Also an adequate mapping of financial products as well as their efficient and liquid trade on financial markets is of high relevance for integrated risk/return management. The goal of the track is to provide a platform for the exchange of research results from practitioners and academics on current and IT related questions within the financial industry, financial markets and concerning financial questions in other institutions/companies.
