Scanning the Future Environment for Banking

Abstract

Environmental scanning is that part of the strategic planning process which monitors emerging changes and issues and determines their likely impact on business decisions. While sophisticated scanning systems are not yet widely used in the banking industry, much has been learned about such systems in other industries. The paper illustrates how that knowledge might be applied to banks, S&Ls, and MBHCs, which are facing increasing levels of environmental change.
