The French Deposit Bank: Managerial Professions Between Rationalization and Trust

Chapter 3 in Regulation and Deregulation in European Financial Services, 1997, pp 66-85 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The face of French deposit banks has greatly changed since the beginning of the 1980s. Changes in their organization, their employment structures and the characteristics of their markets have effectively moved them into a new era (Annandale-Massa and Bertrand, 1990; Grafmeyer, 1992). Banking in France is changing rapidly, as in many countries. The radical changes in the banking industry which affect professional groups are often analysed in two ways: first, in terms of the impact of computer and communication technology and second, in terms of the impact of deregulation (see, for example, Engwall, Chapter 8 in this volume). In France too, banks have experienced these changes, from a dirigist way of ‘managing’ the sector to a complex compromise between dirigisme (i.e. regulation) and liberalism (i.e. deregulation) (see Salomon, Chapter 6 in this volume).
