Abstract
This paper examines the reasons both for the proposed merger of a number of Canada?s most important banks and the final rejection for that merger. The author discusses the economic and political factor that prevented those mergers from occurring.
From the Paper
"While certainly national governments have an important role to play in designing and securing a country?s economic strategy and security, governments cannot in any sense entirely plan a country?s economy. Much of the power of the economic sector lies in the hands of private companies and especially of private financial institutions such as banks. If the control of such banks is not kept under strict scrutiny (and in the case of a relatively small country like Canada kept in large measure under domestic control) then the country?s economic stability can be threatened. Such a threat would have seemed particularly realistic in 1998 given the economic destabilization caused by problems in Asian markets and the very shaky standing of the Canadian dollar in comparison to the U.S. dollar.

An examination of the entry of Canadian banks into the American banking market.

It shows how Canadian Banks already realize a healthy portion of the US real estate market and it is expected that this growth will continue into the future.
From the Paper
"The Canadian economy has paralleled the US economy for the past year. Following the events of September 11, 2002, the Canadian economy and the US economy took dips and many on both sides of the border feared recession. However, these circumstances were short-lived and both economies quickly resumed their normal pattern. The US economy is strong and many Canadian Banks are poised to take advantage of eager investors in the United States. Many of these Banks have established a presence in New York City. One of the main reasons for this move is the strength of the US dollar. Foreign Banks used to have a competitive edge over American Banks, but legislation has evened the playing field. The chief competition for Canadian Banks operating in the US is, of course, other US Banks."

In 1815 there were no banks in British North America. Five years later, five had been founded in response to local development needs. Later in the century the banks became involved in speculation and railroad construction. At the dawn of the twentieth century the six major chartered banks emerged as the oligopoly in Canadian banking that persists today.

Canadian Banking, 2002.

Abstract
During the evolution of the banking evolution in Canada what became supremely clear was that Canada's branch banks had accumulated a great deal of power over their tenure. Canada's economy had grown almost exclusively through the intermediation and financing of the country's few chartered banks. How did they become so powerful? Why did the situation have to change? These are important questions in Canadian economic history. This study strives to resolve these issues by tracing the development of banking in Canada in the post-1850 era. The primary argument will be that formative years of banking in Canada; i.e., those circa 1850, were critical in establishing the unusually high influence and authority of chartered banks in this country. By making brief comparisons and contrasts with the English and American banking systems, the uniqueness of the Canadian situation in this regard will be revealed. By the end of the paper it will be clear that the lack of government intervention in the economy until the 20th century greatly expanded the legitimacy of the country's banks.

Abstract

From the Paper
"The Canadian retail banking industry is working to meet the demands of new technology and new financial requirements on the part of the public. The new environment for banking has produced a more individualized idea of service, in contrast the conformity among banks that once prevailed as the only way to do business. The new watchword is diversification, which also means a more individual type of bank to serve the needs of its particular clientele. This approach is likely to prevail even more in the future as the consumer takes more control over financial matters as other types of business dealing and seeks a more unique mix of services according to specific needs and preferences. Simon Bernard shows that this process has been in place for at least a decade as Canadian banks have sought to diversify their service offerings to differentiate themselves from the competition, focusing their competencies in a new or a core business area."

"Larger mergers may create larger assets for the company, but bankers are still left in the dark with what to do with those assets. These days, auto dealer are more likely to handle auto loans, credit cards are received through the mail, and mortgage brokers can provide great deals on mortgages. Not to mention the invention of online banking. Now there are online services that will search the Internet to get the best prices on a CD?s, credit cards, consumer loans and mortgages. Banks are starting to find that they are now not only in competition with other banks, but with software companies as well."

From the Paper
"An organization is an ever evolving and changing entity; and, all organizations undergo changes at some stage in the history of their existence. The environment in which an organization operates and functions in today?s dynamic market is also constantly changing. Change is normal and life?s one salient certainty. While change is good for an organization?it helps stimulate the organization to grow?change can be difficult to implement in an organization (Mukherjee and Mukherjee, 2001). Technological and equipment change is easier to handle than changes in the human resources. More than physical and other resources, changing the mindset and the human factor may ultimately come to represent the new competitive edge for a corporation. How an individual, a group or a department relates to change determines the achievement of success for any organization."

From the Paper
"Introduction
Mergers and acquisitions during the 1980s tended to take the form of hostile takeovers, often financed by well-publicized "junk" bonds, which resulted in the merged organization being sold off in order to increase cash flow. The 1980s were also a tumultuous time in the banking industry as numerous institutions failed or were investigated, some in part because of their financing of mergers and acquisitions in other industries. This represented a strong opportunity for other institutions who were able to take over deposits of the failed organizations and thus gain additional financial strength through acquisition. At the same time, the banking industry was increasingly affected by globalization, with Japanese banks in particular posing competitive threats to American business banking, and European banking interests also..."

From the Paper
"Introduction
The 1980s saw vast changes in the banking community as banks and savings and loans, challenged by deregulation, expanded their markets and business services. Driven by the need to build their investment base in order to finance these new activities, some thrifts began investing in junk bonds (popularized by Michael Milken), which contributed to the meltdown in the industry in the late 1980s. Continental Illinois, which would later become Continental Bank, got caught up instead in a loss of more than $1 billion in a deal that fell through; in 1984, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) stepped in and provided the bailout the bank needed to survive. The late 1980s and early 1990s were a roller coaster ride for the bank, which was hailed as engineering a dramatic turnaround, then second guessed when the turnaround did not perform.."

From the Paper
"Recent years have seen a great deal of merger and acquisition (M&A)activity in the banking industry, a result of deregulation and the desire of thrifts to take advantage of the ability to establish interstate operations. The financial institutions involved argue that the move toward consolidation will result in economies of scale and savings being passed on to consumers, but consumer advocates argue that there will be a reduction in the level of service provided to customers and eventually, because of a lack of competition, an increase in costs to consumers. This research examines the environment which has led to the mergers, several recent mergers which have occurred and considers the cost-cutting arguments put forth by the thrift industry."
