J. DiVanna – författare

This text explores the fundamental redefinition of the role of financial intermediaries in the 21st century. Combining empirical knowledge with a historical approach, the author reveals that seven centuries of advances in technology have changed the nature of financial services very little. Examining the state of financial services today in the context of the new economy's evolution, Joe DiVanna investigates what changes are happening in the financial industry, where they are occurring, how they are materializing and, more importantly, why.

Redefining Financial Services explores the fundamental redefinition of the role of financial intermediaries in the new century.

The book examines the value proposition of technology and its relationship with business innovation, social preferences and its role as a mechanism of labour savings or revenue generation. The book presents the reader with a question: does society shape technology or is technology shaping society?

This book arises from an event on the future of banking which included leading figures in the industry.

The premise of the book is to provide insight into new ways through which corporations create and execute strategies.

Job migration across international boundaries and jobless economic "recoveries" are the latest disruptions in the workplace's human equation. To help policy makers, employers and employees to address these issues, Divanna and Rogers propose a more rigorous approach to Human Capital. They point out that the emergence of stronger measures, management techniques and balance sheet valuations was a key enabler to the emergence of dynamic financial capital markets and international exchanges. This book puts forth a framework for measuring, managing and negotiating issues of human business value. It looks at how policymakers, employers and employees can achieve common ground when productivity threatens job loss or avoid the zero sum view that pits international trade against domestic employment.

The text examines the value proposition of technology and its relationship with business innovation, social preferences and its role as a mechanism of labour savings or revenue generation. In the same style as his first book, "Redefining Financial Services", the author combines empirical knowledge with a historical approach revealing the explicit nature of technological advancement while analysing the implicit impact on the process of business. The book presents the reader with a question: does society shape technology or is technology shaping society?

This work arises from an event on the future of banking which included leading figures in the industry.

The premise of this volume is to provide insight into new ways through which corporations create and execute strategies.

They were asked to consider the proposition that strategy is shifting from a product of an elite group of people within the firm to a process that aggregates strategic thinking from all levels of the firm.
