Abstract

The fast pace of computer and Internet technologies is one of the main features of the modern age. This serves as the technological premise of the rapid development of China’s Internet banking industry. This research paper tries to discuss the development of China’s Internet bank from the perspective of marketing competition and the improvement of managerial methodologies. First of all, a brief introduction  about the general development of China’s Internet banking service is conducted in order to supply a background of the study, focusing specifically the marketing potential of this new form of financial service. Then the market preparation of China’s Internet banking is analyzed by the application of the data of E-commerce started in Guangzhou at the beginning of the 1980’s. Following this analysis, the author tries to build up a workable evaluation tool for the judgment of the online banking service as a whole, paying specific attention between the natural relationship between the customers and the provider of the banking services. Here an emphasis about the managerial as well as marketing principle is introduced to the reader, i.e., the customer-oriented service and the importance of gaining profits and market share for modern financial enterprise. At last, the general characteristics of China’s online banking service is summarized in order to generalize the endeavors of China’s financial organizations to adopt suitable strategies to improve the relationship between the enterprise itself and the customers. In the meanwhile, some typical examples of representative banks in transferring marketing strategies is clarified in order to build up a panoramic view about the humane method taken by these financial organizations to develop the industry. #p#分頁標題#e#
