Money of the Future. Top fin-tech trendsMaria Bichl
The document summarizes major financial innovations in 2013 and trends for 2014. It predicts that investments in online financial startups will remain very popular for the next 3 years. It also notes that tablet-based financial services will see strong growth as post-PC devices dominate the market in 2015. Crowdfunding is evolving towards crowdinvesting and seeking opportunities outside the US. Bitcoin was a hot topic in 2013 but its future is uncertain due to volatility. PayPal remains the leader in e-wallets but similar services may succeed in other countries. Mobile-first banks are fostering new generations of financial service users.
Omni-channel payments can provide significant benefits to retailers by fueling their omni-channel strategies. First, it allows for an "infinite aisle" where customers can purchase any item regardless of availability in-store. Second, it provides access to valuable cross-channel customer data that can be used for personalized marketing. Third, a centralized omni-channel payments platform can drastically reduce finance and operations costs compared to managing separate payment systems in each channel and country. Overall, omni-channel payments are key to improving the customer experience and driving sales across all retail channels.
TNS Changing Times and Trends in Payments Sept 2014TNSIMarketing
Major trends in payments were identified across the entire stakeholder framework, including consumers, merchants, payment providers, and financial institutions. Six key trends were highlighted: value chain expansion, alternative payment methods, changing customer shopping and payment behaviors, new business models, regulatory changes, and new entrants. Technology is driving changes in how customers shop and pay. Merchants must invest in technologies to stay responsive to evolving customer expectations. Mobile payments are growing in popularity and laying the foundations for wider adoption of mobile wallets.
Digital Banking: Reshaping the Business Model - Alba CéspedesAlba Cespedes
Digital banking is reshaping the traditional banking business model through new digital technologies and changing customer behaviors. Banks must transform by focusing on omnichannel strategies, creating value-added digital products, and maintaining customer relationships as interactions become more digital. While some regions like the UK and Scandinavia are more prepared for digital banking, adoption is happening unevenly across Europe. Banks that fully embrace digital transformation stand to significantly increase revenues and reduce costs.

The Finance, The Digital & The Society - Smart Cities Summit 2018 - AlgiersSmart Algiers
The document discusses the development of fintech and its impact on traditional banking. It provides several case studies of fintech startups operating in areas like payments, lending, equity crowdfunding, and trade receivables. The second wave of fintech is growing quickly and banks are responding by either cooperating with fintech firms or developing modular offerings. The rest of the document focuses on Banxy, a new mobile-only bank launched by Natixis Algeria to provide a more accessible and convenient banking experience for customers.
The document discusses how FinTech and digital transformation are changing consumer banking behavior and affecting physical distribution strategies. It finds that while technology may reduce the relevance of geography, demographics and socioeconomic factors still greatly influence demand for financial services. An optimal distribution strategy requires a balanced approach across channels to meet differing consumer needs in sales, service, and communication. Specifically, branches will continue to be important "brand anchors" but will need to adapt their purpose, format, and locations to remain relevant as more transactions go digital.
Paying for stuff is, unfortunately, something we do every day! Be it with cash, cards, mobile phones or with our fingerprints and faces, we send money from one account to another. Globally speaking, cash is still king, but the payment experience is undergoing radical disruption which for the time being especially involves the act of payment more than the processing that goes on behind it. This presentation provides a description of payment processes and the new trends that are slowly but surely re-shaping the way we pay money. The authors are Philippe Collombel, Nico Valenti Gatto and Tanguy Confavreux who all work for Partech Ventures, a global venture capital fund with offices in San Francisco, Paris, Berlin and Dakar.
“The private banks want a European digital single market for financial services and will help to actively promote it,” stresses Michael Mandel, Chairman of the association’s Retail and Wholesale Banking Committee and Member of Commerzbank’s Board of Managing Directors with responsibility for the Business Segment Private and Business Customers. Taking as its starting point the question of how the dynamics of digitisation can be harnessed for this purpose and avoid being held back, the Association of German Banks has now published the study “Digital Payments 2020”. Mandel: “Our goal must be to enable consumers to use standardised mobile payment methods across national borders throughout Europe.”
Mandel sees a particular need to ensure in the context of the new payment services directive PSD2 that the same rules apply to all payment service providers – be they banks or fintechs. Andreas Krautscheid, Member of the Senior Management Board of the Association of German Banks, underlines: “We certainly see room for improvement on some aspects of PSD2 in this respect.” He finds it incomprehensible, for instance, that third-party providers have legally binding access to banks’ infrastructure, but not vice versa. “On top of that, we’re expecting the European Commission to publish an action plan on retail financial services in March. To make sure discussions move in the right direction, we want to get a debate going as soon as possible,” Krautscheid adds.
In its study, the association identifies three key areas for action: 1. mobile payment solutions need to be promoted to increase their reach in person-to-person (P2P) and point-of-sale (POS) transactions, 2. there should be more competition and freedom of choice between e-commerce payment methods, and 3. a standardised modern, digital onboarding procedure should be established to ensure services can be offered digitally and Europe-wide.
Michael Mandel: “We shouldn’t get bogged down in details in Europe but should focus on what really matters – for us that means providing payment services and having a standard procedure for registering and identifying customers.”

A Silent Revolution. Embedded publishing and its consequences for the newspap...sndrspk
Presentation given at the European Media Management Association (EMMA) conference. Paris, February 13th and 14th, 2009.
Paper abstract:
Embedded publishing refers to the rising phenomenon of organisations and individuals who have started publications in support of their primary goal. This ranges from blogging politicians to professional football clubs offering web television to their fans. Their products, which are often offered to the audience free of charge, might pose a serious threat to incumbent media. Because these new publishers now are their own media outlet, they become less dependent of the traditional media
for getting their messages across. This paper presents an analysis of eight Flemish and Dutch
embedded publishers and conceptualises the results of this case study. Subsequently, it offers five strategies for especially the newspaper industry to deal with this new development.

embedded publishers and conceptualises the results of this case study. Subsequently, it offers five strategies for especially the newspaper industry to deal with this new development.
An obituary for the (traditional and independent) publishing industry?sndrspk
The document discusses how the traditional publishing industry is facing challenges from new forms of publishing like Wikipedia, where content is created by amateurs rather than professionals. Wikipedia has seen enormous growth and proven accurate according to studies. Embedded publishing, where organizations publish content to support core goals rather than for publishing itself, is another new form that is becoming more common and affordable.
The document summarizes the FLEET research project from 2006 to 2010. It describes that the project involved a 21 person research team across 3 universities in Belgium and had a 23 person user committee. The goal of the project was to study the future of media landscapes and it produced academic research that was presented at several conferences.
The document discusses how the world and web have become "flat" due to various technological and social changes. A flat world refers to the leveling of the global playing field as a result of forces like outsourcing and offshoring. A flat web refers to open source technologies and the rise of user-generated content through platforms like Wikipedia, YouTube, and social media. These developments have led to both opportunities like increased access to knowledge as well as challenges for traditional media companies and copyright laws.
The document discusses how Wikipedia articles are organized despite its decentralized nature. It finds that Wikipedia articles naturally cluster into categories and form a coherent network, with some articles taking on roles as general authorities on various topics. It also finds that Wikipedia authors self-organize to develop specializations in certain topics, with a few editors focusing on niche topics and most editors contributing to more popular topics. This allows work to be divided without formal organization or management, demonstrating that order can emerge without top-down direction.
Wikipedia: Organisation from a bottom-up approachsndrspk
1) The document discusses the organization of Wikipedia from a bottom-up approach, focusing on how content and work division are organized despite its seemingly chaotic nature.
2) It analyzes how the Dutch Wikipedia article network is clustered and scale-free, possibly exhibiting small-world properties.
3) Work division in Wikipedia shows experts focusing on specialized topics, like chess or Russian politics, while more general topics see less editing on average, such as philosophy or investing. Author expertise is calculated using entropy over categories.
The bottom-up approach to the internet, and what organisations can learn from that.
