Service quality in the private banking business

Carsten Horn · Markus Rudolf

1 Introduction

Service quality is the core concept for ensuring a successful supply of services in general. This holds in particular for the private banking sector, which is a pure service industry (Chase 1981) in which the service is performed almost entirely in the presence of the customer. Private banking involves intangible goods requiring the participation of the customer in the production process (Gronroos 1984). In such an environment, the suppliers of private banking services aim to optimize the service quality in order to achieve a higher outcome level. The outcomes of service quality, i.e. what firms gain by delivering a good service quality, is analyzed in the literature. In particular, the return on quality concept of Rust et al. (1995), the service profit chain of Heskett et al. (1997) and Schlesinger and Heskett (1991) and the work of Zeithaml (2000) were developed for many services but not yet for private banking.

Schlesinger and Heskett (1991) and Heskett et al. (1997) establish linkages between service quality, the value of the service, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty and financial results. Service quality can be defined as the customer’s satisfaction with the actual performance of the service. This is often modeled using the disconfirmation paradigm, in which service quality is evaluated as a difference between customers’ expectations about a service and the actual performance of the service (Gronroos 1984; Parasuraman et al. 1988). Parasuraman et al. (1988), Bitner (1990) and Bolton and Drew (1991) see service quality as the superordinate construct to customer satisfaction, which is confirmed by Cronin and Taylor (1992) in their empirical analysis.

Rust et al. (1995), Pont and McQuilken (2005), van Birgelen et al. (2006) and

Manrai and Manrai (2007) find that customer satisfaction results in favorable behavioral intentions leading to customer loyalty. The linkages between customer satisfaction and service quality are also empirically confirmed by Loveman (1998) and partly also by Silvestro and Cross (2000). Direct impacts of customer satisfaction on financial results are found by van der Wiele et al. (2002) and Meyer Goldstein (2003), while Zeithaml et al. (1996), Loveman (1998) and Hallowell and Schlesinger (2000) see only an indirect relationship to customer loyalty, and Silvestro and Cross (2000) and Gelade and Young (2005) find only a very weak direct relationship.

In addition to the concepts of service quality and customer satisfaction, service value is also analyzed in the literature. According to Rust and Oliver (1994), the value of a service can be defined as the difference between the positive utility (benefits) a customer receives from consuming the service and the negative utility (price) he has to pay. Other authors such as Zeithaml (1988), Cronin et al. (1997) and Chen et al. (1994) also analyze the service value, but define the negative utility more broadly as a sacrifice which comprises other factors in addition to the price, such as time. While this definition already shows that service quality is the primary factor influencing the service value (Chen et al. 1994; Cronin et al. 1997; Allen and Grisaffe 2001), Cronin et al. (2000) analyze the impact of service value and find positive relationships between service value and customer satisfaction.

Consequently, concentrating on service quality is fruitful because it enhances the level of customer satisfaction and loyalty and is ultimately the most important factor driving the financial performance of a private banking services provider—whether measured by assets under management or by profitability. This subject has received attention from many researchers, notably Gr nroos (1984), Parasuraman et al. (1985, 1988), Rust and Oliver (1994) and Brady and Cronin (2001), who develop and analyze different models of service quality in various industries.

There are only few sources addressing the private banking industry. Among them are Hens and Bachmann (2008) and Rudolf and Baedorf (2011) who address Private Banking as an own discipline in a very fundamental way. Behavioral finance to explain private banking is also used by Pompian (2006). More specifically,

Burgstaller and Cocca (2011) compare the private banking efficiency in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. A discussion of the book of Pompian (2006) can be found in Ising (2007), and the book of Hens and Bachmann (2008) is discussed in Oesch (2011). Private banking—in contrast to retail banking, which is consider-ably more standardized—comprises a set of services which are individually adapted to the client’s needs (Til mes 2002; Howald 2007). HNWIs are typically identified according to different lower boundaries in liquid assets. These boundaries lie between US $250,000 and US $1,000,000 (see Capgemini & Merrill Lynch 2007; PricewaterhouseCoopers 2007; IBM Corporation 2005; Datamonitor 2003, or Meiers and Schilling 2007). We will define private banking for our analysis as follows: Private banking is an integrated, individual- and needs-oriented financial and risk planning service for HNWIs who require individualized advice. The minimum investment requirement is usually around 250,000 Euro. The client-provider relationship is generally long-term and is based on trust and discretion.

The paper is structured as follows. Section 2 presents the theoretical foundations for the analysis conducted in the paper. Section 3 introduces the data for the empirical study. Section 4 shows the results and Sect. 5 discusses these results. Section 6summarizes the paper.

2 Model

Three service quality models have received particular research attention:

●The “Nordic Model” advocated by Gronroos (1994) and Brady and Cronin (2001).

●The SERVQUAL approach of Parasuraman et al. (1985, 1988) and the SERV-PERF approach of Cronin and Taylor (1992). The SERVQUAL model is criticized by various authors, among them Asubonteng et al. (1996) or Cronin and Taylor (1992), for the disconfirmation paradigm, which was defined above. Consequently, in the SERVPERF model, service quality is measured on an absolute scale instead of as a difference between expectations and performance. In a direct comparison to SERVQUAL, both Cronin and Taylor (1992) and Brady et al. (2002) find better results with the SERVPERF scale.

●The hierarchical, multidimensional model of Brady and Cronin (2001) based on the work of Rust and Oliver (1994). Rust and Oliver (1994) present a three-dimensional model which is based on the Gronroos (1984) model plus one additional dimension describing the environment in which the service is delivered.

We will proceed according to Brady and Cronin (2001) and Fassnacht and K se (2006) and develop a three-dimensional model of service quality in private banking. The three main dimensions are: (i) service environment quality, (ii) interaction quality, and (iii) service product quality. Various sub-dimensions will be examined in greater detail below. The sub-dimensions will be developed based on literature as well as on open qualitative interviews with 13 relationship managers of three different private banking providers.

The first dimension of service quality we consider is service environment. This dimension and its sub-dimensions are covered in many literature sources, among them Parasuraman et al. (1988), Bitner (1990, 1992), Bahia and Nantel (2000), Brady and Cronin (2001), and Zeithaml and Bitner (2003). Security has been identified as a sub-dimension by Parasuraman et al. (1985), Johnston (1995) and Bahia and Nantel (2000). Financial stability is included as a sub-dimension of the service environment by Lepak (1998). The additional sub-dimensions access, branch locations or geographic presence are discussed in Parasuraman et al. (1985), Johnston (1995), Lepak (1998), Jun and Cai (2001), and Oppewal and Vriens (2000). Interviews with relationship managers confirm these sub-dimensions and add the sub-dimensions corporate identity of a company, its ambient conditions, and its international presence. In sum, this lets us conclude that the dimension service environment in private banking consists of four sub-dimensions: ambient conditions, financial security of the provider, geographic presence and corporate identity.

The second dimension is the interaction quality, which is described in Gronroos (1984). Brady and Cronin (2001) identify attitude, behavior, and expertise as sub-dimensions of interaction quality. The remaining SERVQUAL dimensions of Para-suraman et al. (1988)—reliability, responsiveness assurance, and empathy—would also mostly fall under the interaction quality dimension. Lepak

(1998), based on a banking industry study, also includes the dimensions friendliness, professionalism, and experience of the client relationship manager. Jun and Cai (2001) also analyze the factors understanding the customer, collaboration, continuous improvement and credibility. Based on the interview conducted with the relationship managers in this study, we add additional sub-dimensions for interaction quality in the private banking industry. Besides job satisfaction and employee training, other factors considered important were continuity of the relationship between customer and relationship manager, the accessibility of the relationship manager and employees’ competence in financial aspects. Relationship managers also highlighted the importance of the employees’ emotional competence, the way a customer is addressed individually in the investment process and the quality of the investment proposal. In sum, both the literature review and the interviews with relationship managers allow us to define the following five sub-dimensions of the quality of interaction: the continuity of the relationship with the customer, the job satisfaction, competence and emotional competence of the employees, and the quality of the investment proposal.

Dimension three is the service product quality as proposed by Gronroos (1984). Brady and Cronin (2001) identify the sub-dimensions tangibles, waiting time, valence, and social factors. In addition, interviews with relationship managers reveal the clie nts’ assets to be the most important sub-dimension, followed by the breadth of the product and finally the service range of the service provider. The quality of reporting was also mentioned (see also Viebahn 2005). From these findings, we add three sub-dimensions based on the empirical investigation: the performance of the investment, product and service scope, and the quality of reporting..

3 Methodology and data description

We designed a questionnaire inspired by Churchill (1979), Gerbing and Anderson (1988), and Churchill and Iacobucci (2005). The questionnaire consisted of 137 questions subdivided into sections, as shown in Table 1. All items of the measurement model are reflective items, mirroring the dimension instead of forming it. All items of the latent variables are furthermore examined thoroughly with the criteria set of Jarvis et al. (2003) in order to prevent a misspecification of formative

and reflective indicators, which is a common source of misspecification in service quality models (Jarvis et al. 2003). Furthermore, items are operationalized purely performance-based as proposed by Cronin and Taylor (1992) and measured on a 5-point Likert scale (Miller 1956; Devlin et al. 2003). Content validity was ensured by consulting with seven researchers and three practitioners in the private banking sector. Their responses and suggestions led to the elimination of a number of items until a consensus about validity was reached.

The questionnaire is addressed to client relationship managers and not to private banking clients, which is in accordance with the literature about key informants as reported e.g. in Phillips (1981) and Kumar et al. (1993). This allows us to generate sample data which is very diverse in terms of the companies offering private banking services. There is only one comparable study in the field of private banking provided by Lassar et al. (2000), which is limited to client data from one single bank. Our questionnaire allows us to obtain information about the entire spectrum of private banking suppliers and therefore to compare results across the private banking providers. On the other hand, the client relationshi p managers’ view is valuable because of their close relationship to their clients and their day to day experiences with customer feedback. Because the questionnaires are anonymous, we can also expect unbiased and honest answers from the client relationship managers.

The questionnaire was addressed to client relationship managers and distributed to 502 private banking service providers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein either by phone, email, or mail. In each case, the head of the private banking department was contacted. All companies furthermore received an individualized and anonymous benchmark report in order to provide an incentive for honest answers and, hence, to prevent positive response biases. A screening of the data set led to the elimination of two responses. Both revealed a strong yea saying bias and a high number of missing values. The remaining responses showed no strong bias in either direction and the number of missing values was very low. The net response rate was 24.7% (i.e. 124 relationship managers responded), with relationship managers in Luxembourg having the highest response rate of 50% and those of

Switzerland having the lowest response rate of 15.6%. The difference can be explained by the fact that most of the Luxembourg companies already took part in a previous study of Meierset al. (2008) and were thus familiar with the research project. The Swiss sample, in contrast, contained many companies which have not been contacted before. Tables 2 and 3 show the response rates by country and by way of contact. In total, 84 respondents replied online and 40 responded by mail or by fax. A screening of the data set shows that only 2 questionnaires contained missing values which corresponds to a fraction of 1.4% of the 124 questionnaires received. For the further analysis, missing values were replaced by sample means, which is also recommended by Roth (1994) if the number of missing values is less than 10%. The median minimum deposit sums required from the companies was 250,000 Euro, with 53 companies having a minimum investment requirement of less than 250,000 Euro and 64 companies with a minimum requirement of 250,000 Euro or more. Seven companies did not reply to this question and are excluded from this sample as a replacement of this variable does not make sense.

4 Results

4.1 Model evaluation

The evaluation of the measurement model with SmartPLS 2.0 and SPSS 15.0 shows a generally good fit of the items and their respective dimensions—with two exceptions. The service environment dimension generated only three sub-dimensions.

A closer analysis shows that the items of the proposed sub-dimensions ambient conditions and corporate identity load on only one single dimension, which will be called the outer appearance. For the sub-dimensions of the outcome quality dimensions, the items of the proposed reporting sub-dimension load on two different sub-dimensions. The items of these dimensions reflect a reporting sub-dimension which can be called “standard reporting,” as it includes items such as the performance of the investment and the asset weights in the portfolio of the customer. The second sub-dimension can be called “other reporting” as it includes more sophisticated items such as bench-marks and indices for a performance comparison.

4.2 Model comparison

In a comparison between the proposed model and the two alternative models based on Gronroos (1984) and the model with direct effects, the proposed model achieves superior results. Table 7 summarizes the results. It can be seen that the Gronroos (1984) model also has an adequate Rof 49%, which is still lower than the R2 of the proposed model (57%). Furthermore, the R2 of the interaction quality dimension of 49% is only slightly higher than in our proposed model, so that the four additional dimensions could only contribute 3% to the explanation of the interaction quality dimension. An assessment of the path weights shows numerous insignificant relationships: besides financial security and continuity, the sub-dimensions competence, emotional competence and geographic presence are not significant in this model.

The same is true for the model with direct effects. Here, the R2 of 50% can be considered adequate, but it is also lower than in the proposed model, and a further analysis of the path weights shows that only four of the 12 proposed relationships are significant. Therefore, we can conclude that the model based on Rust and Oliver (1994) and Brady and Cronin (2001) produces the best results and can best explain service quality in private banking. This result is in line with the finding that service quality is a complex construct which can be explained by a multidimensional, hierarchical construct (Dabholkar et al. 1996).

4.3 Group analysis

After the analysis of the proposed structural model, various subgroups of the data set are analyzed. In order to analyze group differences, the data set is split into two groups, each comprising approximately half of the sample. The first analysis examines differences between companies within Germany and outside Germany (Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein). Luxembourg is excluded from this sample. Whether Luxembourg is included or not has only a very small impact, however; the results are hardly affected. Differences are interpreted according to the significance of path weights in the groups or—if path weights are significant in both groups—a t -test is conducted to determine whether the strength of the relationship is significantly different.

5 Discussion

The results of the present analysis produce several interesting insights. First of all, it can be seen that a multidimensional, hierarchical model based on Brady and Cronin (2001) better explains service quality in private banking than the other two models.This finding is in line with Dabholkar et al. (2000) and Brady and Cronin (2001), who conclude that the complexity of service quality can best be described by a hierarchical approach. Furthermore, the analysis of the proposed model reveals some insignificant relationships. Financial security, continuity of the relationship, and other reporting aspects were not significant. It can be assumed that the financial security sub-dimension affects customer loyalty more than service quality, because if a customer feels that his bank is insecure, he will most likely terminate the relationship. The significance of the financial security sub-dimension for foreign companies demonstrates that the three analyzed countries particularly benefit from their high reputation for security. The low significance of the continuity of the relationship can be explained by the fact that this factor might influence customer satisfaction or customer loyalty rather than service quality. Although this factor is significant in the subsample with higher lower boundaries, significance appears only at the 10% level and the relationship is too weak to be explained only by service quality. A previous analysis of Meiers et al. (2008) showed that the relationship manager is a very important factor for the generation of new customers. The sub-dimension other reporting turned out to be insignificant, too. This contradicts the result of Viebahn (2005).

Our study based on the views of the customer relationship managers shows that the outer appearance of the company is the most important factor of the service environment quality dimension. This is in line with existing research in the field of service quality. However, the fact that the geographic or international presence of the company was not considered to be important for the quality of the environment implies that the private banking business is locally focused. All four remaining sub-dimensions of interaction quality are considered to be relevant, which is also in line with other studies (e.g. Meyer Goldstein 2003). However, interaction quality

turns out to reveal a high degree of complexity. It can be concluded that there are additional sub-dimensions of interaction quality which have not been analyzed here, although these might contribute little. Finally, it is not surprising that performance is the most important sub-dimension of the dimension outcome quality. What is surprising, however, is that the reporting sub-dimension does not receive much attention from companies.

The analysis of the subgroups generates further important insights. Differences between the countries are rather small, but it becomes evident that companies outside Germany benefit from their reputation for security more than German private banking services providers. Security outside Germany loads positively on service environment. Product and service scope is not significant for foreign private banking service providers. Furthermore, companies outside Germany focus more on the competence of their relationship managers, which has a strong relationship to the interaction quality. German companies, on the other hand, consider emotional competence of relationship managers to be more important. These companies focus on the quality of their background processes in the form of the investment proposal.

6 Conclusion

The present study generated new insights about services in the private banking sector. It was shown, both theoretically and empirically, that the service quality in a high contact service environment can best be explained by a multidimensional, hierarchical model. Furthermore, the heterogeneity of the private banking sector can be illustrated by a closer analysis of differences between provider groups. Although all service provider are active in the private banking industry and call themselves private banking service providers, it may be said that the group of clients with liquid assets less than 250,000 Euro has more in common with the retail sector than with the high contact industry to which the private banking industry belongs.

私人银行业务的服务质量

卡斯藤·霍恩;马库斯·鲁道夫

1引言

服务质量是服务的核心概念,它是确保组织成功的一个必备要素。对于私人银行来说,尤其如此。萨斯认为私人银行是一个纯粹的服务行业组织,几乎完全是为客户提供服务的组织。私人银行业务涉及到无形商品,这需要客户的参与。在这种环境下,私人银行的目标是不不断地改善服务质量,以达到一个更高的服务水平。有很多关于提高服务质量的相关研究文献结果,比如:鲁斯特等人1995年的研究,赫斯科特1997年的研究,施莱辛格1991和哈曼2000年的研究。

施莱辛格和赫斯克特认为,服务质量、服务的价值、客户满意度、客户忠诚度和财务业绩都是紧密联系在一起的。服务质量可以被定义为顾客对银行所提供服务的满意程度。这通常是通过对服务质量进行评价,可以反映出一个客户对服务的预期和实际的感受之间的差异。帕拉休拉曼等人1988年,比特内1990年,以及博尔顿和德鲁1991年的研究中,都认为服务质量是构建客户满意度的基础,这也证实了克罗宁和泰勒(1992年)的实证研究。鲁斯特等人 1995年,普安特和麦克坎恩 2005年,范和伯格勒等人2006年,以及马瑞2007年的研究,认为客户满意度的直接结果就是可以导致顾客忠诚度。顾客满意度与服务质量之间的联系也经证实了洛夫曼1998年和希尔韦斯特2000年的研究结果。客户满意度也会直接影响到私人银行的财务业绩,这一结果由范德在2002年和迈耶戈尔茨坦在2003年所发现,而哈姆尔等人在1996年,洛夫曼在1998年以及哈洛威尔和施莱辛格于2000年只看到客户满意与顾客忠诚度之间的一个间接关系,而希尔韦斯特和格拉德发现两者之间只有很弱的直接关系。

除了服务质量和客户满意度的概念,关于服务价值也有不少的研究文献。根据鲁斯特和奥利弗1994年的研究,服务价值可以定义为一个客户消费中获得的服务质量的积极效用(收益的和负面效用(价格) 之间的区别。其他学者,比如哈尔曼,克罗宁等分析了服务价值,对服务价值进行了定义。虽然这个定义表明,服务质量也是影响服务价值的主要因素(陈等人,1994;克罗宁等人,1997;艾伦和萨法,2001;克罗宁等人2000),他们都分析了影响服务价值和服务价值的人际关系因素。

因此,专注于私人银行的客户服务质量水平是很富有成效的,因为它可以增强私人银行的客户满意度和忠诚度,最终也是推动私人银行服务的财务业绩发展的最重要的一个因素。私人银行基金管理下的资产或盈利能力,这个问题已经得到了许多研究人员的关注,尤其是格鲁诺斯(1984)和帕拉休拉曼等人(1985、1988),鲁斯特和奥利弗(1994),以及布兰迪和克罗宁(2001),他们都对分析服务质量,开发了不同的分析模型。

目前,研究私人银行业的文献还不多。其中有亨斯和巴赫曼(2008),鲁道夫和巴道夫(2011)。珀姆用行为金融学来解释私人银行的相关理论。还有博格斯塔勒和库卡(2011),他们比较了瑞士和列支敦士登两国的私人银行的服务效率。私人银行与其他性质的银行相比,谁更加考虑客户,最适应客户的需求(蒂姆斯2002)。高资产值客户的资产边界通常介于250000美元和1000000美元。我们将私人银行的定义分析如下:

私人银行业务是一个集成的、为个体客户和为高资产人士所提供的个性化服务。私人银行的投资门槛通常是250000欧元左右。客户关系通常是基于私人银行和客户之间的信任。

本文的结构如下:第二节介绍了本文的理论基础;第三节介绍了实证研究;第四节则阐述了研究结果;第五节讨论了这些结果;第六节是总结。

2模型

对三种服务质量模型进行了特定的关注:

格鲁诺斯 (1994),布兰迪和克罗宁(2001) 的“北欧模型”。

帕拉修拉曼等(1985,1988)的服务质量评价法,克罗宁和泰勒(1992)的服务绩效模型。服务质量评价模型并不能得到所有学者的认可,其中,就有阿苏波藤等人(1996),克罗宁和泰勒(1992)等人。因此,在服务质量评价模型中,服务质量只是一个衡量的指标,而不是作为客户期望和银行业绩的影响因素。

布雷迪和克罗宁在2001年,基于鲁斯特和奥利弗(1994年的研究,提出了层次多维模型。鲁斯特和奥利弗在1994年则提出一个三维模型,该模型是基于的是格鲁诺斯1984年提出的分析模型。

我们将继续根据布雷迪和克罗宁(2001)和费思南特和凯斯(2006)的研究,开发一个私人银行业务服务质量的三维模型。这一模型有三个主要的维度:(1) 服

务环境质量;(2)服务提供的质量;(3)服务的产品质量。各种子维度,我们将在下面进行一个更详细的阐述。本文基于前人的文献以及对三种不同私人银行的13位客户关系经理进行了采访。

我们考虑的关于服务质量的第一个维度,是服务环境。这一维度及其子维度已经有很多文献对他们进行了相关的研究,其中就有帕拉修拉曼等(1988),比特勒2003,巴伊亚和兰特(2000),布兰迪和克罗宁(2001),以及哈默,比特勒(2003),约翰斯顿(1995)等。采访客户关系经理就是为了确认这些子维度,并分析了企业形象、其环境条件及其国际影响力。总之,这使我们能够得出这样的结论:私人银行服务环境包括四个字维度:环境条件;私人银行;地理环境和银行形象。

第二个维度是服务质量。布雷迪和克罗宁(2001)确定了服务质量子维度的相关于行为和专业知识等。而服务质量评价等也大多属于服务质量维度。里帕可(1998),基于银行业的一项研究中,他认为私人银行服务质量还包括客户友好以及客户关系经理的专业性经验。钧和采等人还分析了客户、合作、持续改进服务质量。基于客户关系经理的采访进行的这项研究中,我们添加了额外的私人银行业服务质量的子维度。除了工作满意度和员工培训, 其他因素也被认为是很重要的,比如客户关系经理,经理和员工在金融业务方面的能力等。客户关系经理的重要性,还强调了员工的情感能力、客户单独处理的投资过程方式和投资建议的质量等。总之,前人的研究文献和我们对客户关系经理的访谈,可以使我们定义私人银行服务质量的五个子维度:客户关系的管理连续性、工作满意度、员工的工作能力和情感能力以及投资建议的质量。

服务质量的第三个维度是由格鲁诺斯于1984年提出来的。布兰迪和克罗宁(2001)确定了它的子维度:有形资产、等待时间、价值和社会因素。此外,通过对客户关系经理的采访,客户的有形资产这一子维度是最重要的,次而是产品的广度,以及私人银行的服务范围。从这些研究文献,以及基于实证调查,我们发现,可以添加三个子维度:投资的绩效、产品和服务范围以及质量报告。

3研究方法和数据描述

我们设计了一份调查问卷用于本文的研究,灵感来自于丘吉尔1979年、安德森(1988)以及丘吉尔和雅克布奇2005年的研究。调查问卷包括137个问题。所有项目都是反映的潜在变量,而且检查了指标,贾维斯等人(2003)认为要防止

错误的指标及数据,在服务质量模型中,出现错误来源是很常见的(贾维斯等人,2003年)。此外,还有一些项目是纯粹的财政环境绩效和克罗宁和泰勒(1992)提出的李克特量表。调查获得的内容是很有效的,这是可以保证的,因为我们咨询了七个研究人员和三个私人银行部门的从业人员。通过互相沟通,我们获得了可靠地数据,达成了共识。

调查问卷是寄给客户关系经理而不是私人银行客户的,这与菲利普斯(1981)和库马尔(1993) 关键信息提供者相关的文献一致。这使我们能够按照公司提供的多样化的私人银行服务获取样本数据。研究私人银行领域的学者只有拉沙(2000)一人,这些客户数据仅仅局限于从一个单个银行中获得。我们的调查问卷使我们获得了私人银行业务供应商的全方位信息,从而比较其与私人银行业务提供者的绩效。另一方面,客户关系经理的观点是有价值的,原因不仅在于他们与客户有着密切的联系,还在于他们在客户反馈中日益积累的经验。因为调查问卷都是匿名的,我们还可以期待从客户关系经理手上获取公正和可靠的答案。

调查问卷的邮寄对象是客户关系经理,以及通过电话、电子邮件或邮寄给德国、奥地利、瑞士、卢森堡和列支敦士登的502家私人银行服务提供商。在不同情况下,私人银行部门的负责人相互联系。所有公司都将获取一个个性化与匿名的基准报告,以便提供可靠性的答案,并以此来防止积极回应的偏见。数据集的筛选消除了两大回应。同时揭示了一个强大的偏见以及大量的缺失值。余下的回应并没有显示出强烈的偏见方向以及较低的缺失值数量。净反应率为24.7%(即124客户关系经理作出了回应), 卢森堡的客户关系经理反应率最高达50%,瑞士的客户关系经理反应率最低为15.6%。其中的差异可以这样解释,在迈瑞斯特(2008) 的研究中,大部分的卢森堡公司已经参加过调查,因此熟悉该研究项目。相比之下,之前瑞士的许多公司并没有加入到其中。表2和图3显示了反馈率。在线反馈的一共有84名受访者,通过邮件或传真回应的受访者达40名。数据集的筛选表明,只有2份调查问卷包含缺失值,其对应的结果分别是1.4%,回收额调查问卷为124份。进一步分析,在缺失值的数量还不到10%的情况下,罗斯(1994) 推荐用样本均值取代缺失值。最低存款金额要求从公司250000欧元的款项中扣除,与53家公司相比,最低的投资需求不足250000欧元,未达到64家公司250000欧元以上的最低要求。(完整译文请到百度文库)7家公司并没有对

The criteria to establish a Total Quality Operation are also discussed and the presentation will include case histories of problems examined and benefits realized. The creation of a Total Quality operation It must be recognized that improvements in any aspects of a business operation may possibly lead to a state of continuous quality improvement, but Total Quality will only be achieved by a radical, co-ordinated approach throughout the entire operation, and that demands leadership. The creation of a Total Quality operation demands a balanced amount of attitudinal change, use of a management control system, together with application of appropriate tools and techniques. The common thread is management leadership and a dedicated passion to improve. A system without passion will not succeed, neither will passion without a system. However, improvement in general cannot be achieved without specific improvements being identified and realized. It is this focus on many specific improvement opportunities which produces a radical improvement in quality levels to break through existing barriers. Such intensive focus on specific improvement opportunities (sometimes called problems) demands the creation of teams with membership specific to the improvement action; the detailed knowledge and use of process improvement tools and techniques; together with dedicated management leadership. The creation of a Total Quality operation is the result of the optimal use of total human resources

Clark Still,* Michael K a h n , and Abhijit Mitra Departm(7nt o/ Chemistry, Columbia Uniuersity,1Veu York, Neu; York 10027 ReceiLied January 26, 1978 我们希望找到一种简单的吸附色谱技术用于有机化合物的常规净化。这种技术是适于传统的有机物大规模制备分离,该技术需使用长柱色谱法。尽管这种技术得到的效果非常好,但是其需要消耗大量的时间,并且由于频带拖尾经常出现低复原率。当分离的样本剂量大于1或者2g时,这些问题显得更加突出。近年来,几种制备系统已经进行了改进,能将分离时间减少到1-3h,并允许各成分的分辨率ΔR f≥(使用薄层色谱分析进行分析)。在这些方法中,在我们的实验室中,媒介压力色谱法1和短柱色谱法2是最成功的。最近,我们发现一种可以将分离速度大幅度提升的技术,可用于反应产物的常规提纯,我们将这种技术称为急骤色谱法。虽然这种技术的分辨率只是中等(ΔR f≥),而且构建这个系统花费非常低,并且能在10-15min内分离重量在的样本。4 急骤色谱法是以空气压力驱动的混合介质压力以及短柱色谱法为基础,专门针对快速分离,介质压力以及短柱色谱已经进行了优化。优化实验是在一组标准条件5下进行的,优化实验使用苯甲醇作为样本,放在一个20mm*5in.的硅胶柱60内,使用Tracor 970紫外检测器监测圆柱的输出。分辨率通过持续时间(r)和峰宽(w,w/2)的比率进行测定的(Figure 1),结果如图2-4所示,图2-4分别放映分辨率随着硅胶颗粒大小、洗脱液流速和样本大小的变化。

旅游服务贸易的国际竞争力:罗马尼亚的案例 引言 旅游业是唯一的可以为任何发展水平的国家提供贸易机会的服务活动。然而,它也是一个很大程度因为国家的能力和在全球经济中的表现而又有明确的利益分配不均行业,而这又需要提高自己的竞争力。 自20世纪90年代初,罗马尼亚旅游业经历了出口量,生长速率和结构的重大变化。这些不同的波动都影响了罗马尼亚在国际旅游市场上相对的竞争地位并引起了其旅游贸易平衡的变化。同时,新的和更多的错杂的欧式建筑,引起了罗马尼亚的区域旅游竞争力的显著变化。 在此背景下,本文试图提出一个框架,以竞争力和旅游贸易表现之间的关系为重点,来评估罗马尼亚的旅游服务贸易的国际竞争力。 一、国际竞争力视角:国际竞争力之与国际旅游业的相关性 国际竞争力的概念,尽管有争议,难以捉摸,但现在已经得到认可,并继续吸引世界各地的学者和决策者的关注。 到目前为止,为提高国际竞争力已采取措施,都被认为是在经济层面进行的(加瑞利,2003)通常是指一个国家生产的商品和服务,以满足国际市场的考验,并同时保持和增加公民的收入的能力(欧洲委员会,2007)。 由于竞争力最终取决于一国企业在国内和国际的市场成功,所以对竞争力的注意力都集中在企业层面的竞争力上(波特,1990),对于此的普遍理解是指“……该公司保持,并更好的是,扩大其全球市场份额,增加和扩大利润的能力” (克拉克和盖,1998, 经济合作与发展组织,1993)。 因此,虽然广泛流传但是国际竞争力作为与国家经济和其国际贸易相关

的理论基础已经不太在学术文献进行分析。因此,一个国家国际竞争力的性质,效益和局限性仍然含糊不清(科尔德威尔,2000,克鲁格曼,1994, 1996)。 国际竞争力,是指一个国家在货物和服务贸易方面巩固和保持贸易优势相对于世界其他地区的贸易优势。 每当一个国家的经济福利通过贸易流量的增加,或通过从初始平衡状态的贸易条件的改变而增加,他的国际竞争力都会得到提高(科尔德威尔,2000)。 贸易理论表示,经济福利依赖于一个国家有比较优势的货物和服务的生产。这实际上意味着当生产符合一国的比较优势的情况时国际竞争力能得到保障。如果一国能在国际上表现良好并在出口市场竞争成功,这可能就是他们健全的国际竞争力的标志。 因此,在国际上,竞争力定义为一个经济体能够吸引其出口需求和投资供给需求的能力和在所有社会规范内提升公民生活水平的能力。这反过来又取决于宏观和微观经济政策,影响生产的经济生产率要素和经营成本的法规和制度。 一个可用的文献回顾和实证证据支持国际竞争力可以解释为在一定程度上,一个国家的出口能力这一观点(道乐和沃尔夫,1993, 格博格等. 2004)。还有就是,事实上,是出口表现和国际竞争力之间的循环关系。出口是国际竞争力的第一衡量指标。出口情况的改善会导致了一个国家的竞争力提升。这种效果是一个企业的技能,知识,创新和运用新技术并能够在一个成功的商业方式中利用技术机会等的结果。 另一方面,为了在竞争激烈的全球市场努力成功实现出口,一个国家被迫提高竞争力。更具竞争力的国家,它的经济更强大。因此,它更有能力在全球市场竞争,以吸引具有较高的知识,技能,水平人们去购买新技术等,

供应商质量管理文献翻译(外文翻译-中英对照)

互利共赢的供应商质量控制 前言 近年来,随着对供应链的重视,供应商管理正逐渐成为企业和学术界的关注对象,IS09000族标准以及QS 9000标准都对供应商的管理提出了相应的要求,与供应商管理有关的研究成果正逐渐增多,一些软件巨头也推出了供应商关系管理的软件,但是在这些研究成果和应用软件中,涉及到的供应商质量控制的内容只是一些最基本的要求,而供应商质量控制恰恰是供应商管理的最基本、最重要的内容。另一方而,质量管理界对质量控制的研究取得了大量的成果,遗憾的是这些成果大多依然局限于企业的内部控制,仅仅研究从企业内部各环节如何改善产品的质量,而基于供应链的角度来研究质量控制的成果尚不多见。因此,系统地研究经济全球化形势下供应商质量控制的理论与方法,将有助于推动我国企业产品质量的快速提高和供应链竞争优势的形成与巩固。 1、质量与企业共存 质量一直是一个随着时代的变化而不断变化的概念,人们对质量的认识也往往因关注点不同而有所不同。如,早在1908年,通用汽车公司的工程师们在皇家汽车俱乐部会员们的面前拆解了3辆凯迪拉克轿车,并把这些零件混在一起,而后从中选择零件重新组装成车,然后驾车绝尘而去。这令在场的会员极为震惊,认为凯迪拉克车质量之高令人惊叹。显然在当时,汽车零件具有互换性是一种了不起的质量特性,这也是福特公司的N型车和T型车取得辉煌成功的重要原因.时至今日,即使农用三轮车的零部件也具有极高的互换性,零部件的标准化和互换性已经是理所当然的事情,不再是吸引顾客的重要质量特性.可见质量的内涵是不断变化的.那么究竟什么是质量呢? (1)市场竟争就是企业间对“顾客”的争夺,在日益激烈的“顾客"争夺战中,质量、价格、交付(交付日期、方式和手段)和服务是企业常用的四个法宝,其中质量是根本,离开质量其他三项将变得毫无意义,因此可以说质量己成为市场竞争的焦点.它反映了产品是否能够反映顾客需求、能否满足顾客需求,从面决定了产品的市场前途。有鉴于此,质量己成为一项全球性运动,世界上所有优秀企业无一不把质量作为企业战略的关键内容,从战略的角度来规划质量。 (2)对于企业经营者来说,认识到质量对企业的重要意义只是经营企业的第一步,重要的是如何利用科学的方法来保证产品和服务的质量,使顾客满意,来保证过程和工作的质量来获互利共炭的供应商质量控制得良好的业绩。 众所周知,企业管理是社会生产力发展到一定程度的历史产物,质量管理作为企业管理的组成部分,同样也是社会发展的客观要求,特别是顾客处于主导地位的今天,要使顾客满意,就必须有过硬的产品质量和服务质量,这就要求企业积极推行先进的质量管理理论与方法,不断进行质量管理创新. 2、企业与供应商质量控制 随着生产社会化的不断发展,企业的生产活动分工越来越细,专业化程度越来越强,促使生产技术水平越来越高,产品质量得到大幅度改善。通常,某一产品不可能由一个企业从最初的原材料开始加工直至形成顾客最终使用的产品,往往是通过多个企业分工协作来完成.另外,先进生产方式的广泛应用,如准时生产、敏捷制造、零库存等,使企业与供应商的关系愈加紧密,企业与供应商的关系也由单纯的买卖关系向互利共底的合作关系演变。 ISO 9000族标准自1987年诞生以来受到了世界各国的一致追捧,全球约50多万家企业通过ISO9001质量管理体系认证足以说明这套管理标准在引领国际管理潮流方面的巨大成功。在备受企业欢迎的新版标准ISO9000:2000中,互利的供应商关系被作为八项质量管理原则之一,充分体现了供应商关系管理在企业经营实践中的作用和价值。企业要贯彻这一原则,就必须

会计信息质量外文文献及翻译

会计信息质量在投资中的决策作用对私人信息和监测的影响 安妮比蒂,美国俄亥俄州立大学 瓦特史考特廖,多伦多大学 约瑟夫韦伯,美国麻省理工学院 1简介 管理者与外部资本的供应商信息是不对称的在这种情况下企业是如何影响金融资本 的投资的呢?越来越多的证据表明,会计质量越好,越可以减少信息的不对称和对融资成本的约束。与此相一致的可能性是,减少了具有更高敏感性的会计质量的公司的投资对内部产生的现金流量。威尔第和希拉里发现,对企业投资和与投资相关的会计质量容易不足,是容易引发过度投资的原因。 当投资效率低下时,会计的质量重要性可以减轻外部资本的影响,供应商有可能获得私人信息或可直接监测管理人员。通过访问个人信息与控制管理行为,外部资本的供应商可以直接影响企业的投资,降低了会计质量的重要性。符合这个想法的还有比德尔和希拉里的比较会计对不同国家的投资质量效益的影响。他们发现,会计品质的影响在于美国投资效益,而不是在日本。他们认为,一个可能的解释是不同的是债务和股权的美国版本的资本结构混合了SUS的日本企业。 我们研究如何通过会计质量灵敏度的重要性来延长不同资金来源对企业的投资现金 流量的不同影响。直接测试如何影响不同的融资来源会计,通过最近获得了债务融资的公司来投资敏感性现金流的质量的效果,债务融资的比较说明了对那些不能够通过他们的能力获得融资的没有影响。为了缓解这一问题,我们限制我们的样本公司有所有最近获得的债务融资和利用访问的差异信息和监测通过公共私人债务获得连续贷款的建议。我们承认,投资内部现金流敏感性可能较低获得债务融资的可能性。然而,这种可能性偏见拒绝了我们的假设。 具体来说,我们确定的数据样本证券公司有1163个采样公司(议会),通过发行资本公共债务或银团债务。我们限制我们的样本公司最近获得的债务融资持有该公司不断融资与借款。然而,在样本最近获得的债务融资的公司,也有可能是信号,在资本提供进入私人信息差异和约束他们放在管理中的行为。相关理论意味着减少公共债务持有人获取私人信息,因而减少借款有效的监测。在这些参数的基础上,我们预测,会计质量应该有一

中英金融服务贸易国际竞争力比较研究【文献综述】

毕业论文文献综述 国际经济与贸易 中英金融服务贸易国际竞争力比较研究 金融服务贸易国际竞争力相关理论综述 服务贸易是以服务作为交易标的的一种贸易行为。《服务贸易总协定》(GATS)所界定的国际服务贸易是指以过境交付、境外消费、商业存在和自然人流动这四种形式进行的各国间的服务交易。该定义已成为有一定权威性和指导性的定义为各国接受。 根据《服务贸易总协定》中的服务部门清单,可以将服务贸易分为12类:商业性服务,销售服务,金融服务,娱乐服务,通讯服务,教育服务,卫生服务,运输服务,建筑服务,环境服务,旅游服务和其他服务。而对于金融服务贸易,国内外并没有确切的定义。本文将对金融服务贸易国外及国内有代表性的研究进行综述。 一、GATS与OECD对金融服务贸易的定义 根据GATS的定义,金融服务贸易是指由一成员国的金融服务提供者所提供的任何金融性质的服务。它包括两个部分:所有保险和保险相关的服务、银行和其他金融服务(保险除外),其中其他金融服务指证券和金融信息服务。 经济合作和发展组织(OECD)对金融服务贸易的定义为由金融机构提供服务的收入,或者接受付出的支持,包括得到的和付出的直接投资收益(未分配收益和利息);从其他金融投资得到的和付出的收益(得到的和付出的利息和红利);得到的、付出的手续费和佣金。 可见,经济合作和发展组织对金融服务贸易的界定强调了金融服务贸易交易的提供方,而忽略了金融服务贸易的消费方。金融服务贸易的发展主要是以此换取其他贸易领域的发展,而且金融服务贸易可以促进本国金融业与国际金融业的接轨,从而在国际竞争中促进本国金融业的发展。 二、国外对金融服务贸易相关研究 对于金融服务贸易研究,国外学者从不同角度出发,有不同的看法。 列为恩(1996)认为,各种金融服务可以实现五种基本功能:方便商品和劳务的交易;易于风险管理;加速资源流动;获取信息,评估企业和配置资本;提供公司法人治理。同时,更多的相关文献表示,金融中介可以降低由于信息不对称产生的管理成本(戴蒙德1984;威廉森1987)也可以对规模经济产生积极的效应。 莫施里安(Moshirian 1994)认为,金融服务贸易和制造业类似,一些基本要素赋予了

质量管理文献综述

关于企业质量管理文献综述 摘要:随着新世纪的到来,特别是我国加入WTO后,中国将进一步融入世界经济的主流,质量将成为我国广大企业抓住机遇、迎接严峻挑战的关键。要拓展海外市场,必须靠有竞争力的质量;要保护国内的市场,不再有高关税和政府的过渡保护,也要靠质量的较量。随着科学技术的进步,质量管理的理论和方法有了更大发展。本文综合了质量管理的发展历程,并简要评价,提出看法,以便为企业的质量管理和理论研究提供参考。 关键词:质量管理、管理改进 21世纪是质量的世纪”。随着经济全球化和信息革命的迅猛发展,竞争日益加剧。在“数量”问题已解决的今天,人们将越来越追求和依赖于高质量的产品和服务,而且质量的领域不断拓宽,生活的质量、环境的质量、文化的质量、经济增长的质量更加受到全社会的关注。质量已成为竞争的焦点,不仅关系到企业的生存发展,而且影响到国家经济实力的增强和民族的形象。质量已成为全球经济发展战略的核心问题。 一、质量管理理论的回顾 (一)、质量管理的发展阶段 (1)质量检验阶段(20世纪20-30年代) 生产力迅猛发展,生产过程分工细化、日益复杂,许多美国企业按照泰勒的管理模式,纷纷设立检验部门,使检验与生产分离开来,其最大特点为“事后把关”。(2)统计质量阶段(20世纪40-50年代) 早在20世纪20年代,美国贝尔实验室工程师休哈特就提出“控制与预防缺陷”的概念。主要是利用数理统计原理,预防产生废品并检验产品质量,在方式上由专业质量控制工程师和技术人员承担。但这种方法只是保证生产过程中的产品质量,而不能提高产品本身的质量。 (3)全面质量管理阶段(20世纪60年代至今) 美国的费根堡姆提出,“全面质量是为了能够在最经济的水平上,并考虑到充分满足顾客要求的条件下进行生产和提供服务,将企业各部门研制质量、维持质量和提高质量的活动构成为一体的一种有效体系”。 (二)、质量管理的理论流派 1、事后检验 20世纪,美国工程师泰勒提出“科学管理理论”,1911 年泰勒出版了专

质量控制和安全施工 外文翻译

本文献来源于: [1] 董祥. 土木工程英语. 2010(9):145-151 质量控制和安全施工 1在施工中存在的质量和安全问题 质量控制和安全问题对项目经理来说变得越来越重要。施工过程中的设备缺陷或故障可能会导致非常大的成本。即使有轻微缺陷, 也可能需要重新建设使设施运营受损。导致成本的增加和延误结果。在最坏的情况下,故障可能导致人身伤害甚至死亡。在施工过程中的事故可能导致人身伤害和巨大的花费。保险,检验和监管的间接成本迅速增加,会导致直接成本的增加。好的项目经理应尽量确保在第一时间完成任务,并且在工程中没有重大事故发生。 随着成本的控制,关于已完成设施的质量的最重要的决策是在设计和规划阶段,而不是在施工阶段。正是在该组件的配置,材料规格和功能性能这些初步阶段而决定的。施工过程中的质量控制主要是确保其是否符合原先的设计和规划决策。 虽然符合现有的设计决策是质量控制的首要重点,但也有例外的情况。第一,不可预见的情况下,错误的设计决策或希望通过在设备功能的所有者权益变动,可能在施工过程中要求对设计决策进行重新评估。虽然这些变化可能是出于关心质量,但他们意味着随之而来的所有目标和限制因素都要进行重新设计。至于第二种情况,一些明智且适当的设计决策就是取决于施工过程本身,例如,一些隧道要求在不同的位置作出一定数量支护的方法,就是根据土壤条件,观察在隧道里面的过程而做出的决策。由于这样的决定是基于有关工地的实际情况,因此该设施的设计可能会更符合成本效益的结果。任何特殊的情况下,重新设计的施工过程中都需要考虑各种因素。 在施工过程中以讲究一致性作为质量的衡量标准,质量要求的设计和合同文件中的说明将变得极为重要。质量要求应该是明确的、可验证的,能使项目中的各方都能够理解的一致性要求。本章的大部分讨论均涉及到发展和建设的不同质量要求,以及确保符合性的相关问题。 建设项目中的安全性也在很大程度上影响到规划设计过程中的决策。一些设计或施工计划本身就是又危险又很难实现的,而其他类似的计划,则可以大大降低事故发生的可能性。例如,从施工区域内修复巷道使得交通分道行驶可以大大降低意
