Creating the future with all finance and financial conglomeratesCreating the Future with All Finance and Financial Conglomerates provides an academic search for an understanding of all finance and financial conglomerates. It presents a strategic and economic analysis of the diversification strategies and the growing interface between different types of financial firms. On the basic of a solid analysis of theoretical fundaments and practical value the book develops basic concepts of creating the future, especially the solutions in managing risks and the fresh ideas for the development of integrated financial services. The structure of the book is logical: starting on theoretical fundaments (section , part A) and examining the economic value of All Finance and Financial Conglomerates (part B) leads to creating a concept for the future (part C). Case studies add additional practical value to this research. The review of the subject is completed by aspects of risk management in this sector and by political guidelines for the EU-single market (section 2).

A mixed methods approach was used to consider these implications and draws from a number of data sources in the United Kingdom including a database of self-review data around online safety policy and practice from over 2000 schools, a survey of over 1000 14–16 year olds and their attitudes toward sexting, and a survey of over 500 undergraduate students. In addition the work considers existing risk management approaches and the models therein and how they might be applied to people risk. The dataset analyzed in this exploration show an education system in the United Kingdom that is not adequately preparing young people with an awareness of the implications of digital behavior in their lives and the survey data shows distorted social norms that might have serious consequences in the workplace.

Financial conglomerates: New rules for new players?In recent years financial conglomerates have been established throughout Europe. This horizontal diversification has attracted a great deal of attention in the banking and insurance sector, as well as alarming the supervisory authorities and the European Commission. This study analyzes different sets of definitions of financial conglomerates, groups, consolidation criteria, and tests the practical effects of these definitions on the basis of a detailed relational database. It also examines the benefits of financial conglomerates as well as the differences in regulation of the solvency requirements for banks, insurance companies and investment firms in order to look for a possible approach for calculating the necessary level of solvency for financial conglomerates.
