British and German Banking: Case Studies

Sven Janssen

Chapter 4 in British and German Banking Strategies, 2009, pp 65-217 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract While this work argues that the Single Market opened up new prospects for banks to operate within an enlarged “playing field”, it also recognises that national financial systems remained the predominant operating environment for banks. Following a brief review of the characteristics of the banking landscape in the United Kingdom and Germany, this chapter presents eight case studies on British and German banks. British and German banks are discussed in alternating order, beginning with the success story of The Royal Bank of Scotland, and ending with the dismal tale of Dresdner Bank. The case studies form the heart of this book and the findings are cross-analysed, compared and put into the context of European integration in the concluding chapter.
