Bakgrund: Svenska banker och försäkringsbolag spenderar stora summor och resurser på sina IT-system, vilka oftast sköts internt. IT-kostnaderna utgör för banker den näst största kostnadsposten i resultaträkningen och därmed utgör över 20 procent av den totala kostnadsmassan. Marginalerna inom bank och försäkringsbolag minskar i Sverige samtidigt som ITs komplexitet ökar med krav på integrering medgamla bank- och försäkringssystem. IT-outsourcing och joint venture med ett IT-företag är vanliga organiserings former och inget nytt fenomen i Finland inom bank och försäkringsbolag. IT-outsourcing har både för- och nackdelar. Syfte: Att beskriva och analysera begreppet outsourcing kopplat till hur aktörerna på den finansiella marknaden i Sverige hanterar och bör hantera sin IT-verksamhet. Metod: Vi har använt oss av en tvärsnittstudie och intervjuat de högsta ansvariga för IT inom bank och försäkring i Sverige och Finland. Vi har även intervjuat divisionschefer och IT-leverantörer på den nordiska marknaden. Resultat: IT är inte för banker och försäkringsbolag någon kärnkompetens och utgör heller ingen hög specifik tillgång och är därför lämplig för en viss sorts outsourcing. De flesta svenska banker har uppnått skalfördelar inom IT- drift, men försäkringsbolagen är inte lika kostnadseffektiva och har inte uppnått skalfördelar i samma utsträckning som bankerna. IT-driften är en standard tjänst som är lättare att specificera i kontrakt och därmed är en god kandidat för outsourcing. IT-förvaltning och utveckling ligger närmare bankernas och försäkringsbolagens kärnkompetens och bör inte outsourcas. Däremot utgör vissa delar inom IT-utveckling och förvaltning inget unikt värde och är i princip en standard för alla aktörer och kan därmed outsourcas. Detta förutsätter att företaget bygger en professionell inköpsorganisation som kan hantera problemet. Genom att IT-utvecklingen blir mer komplex är ett joint venture förhållande med ett IT-företag en bra lösning. Den finska IT- outsourcing marknaden skiljer sig från den svenska på grund av att svenska banker och försäkringsbolag är större än de finska motsvarigheterna och de svenska aktörerna tappade förtroendet för IT-outsourcing på grund av dåliga avtal under början av 90-talet. / Background: Swedish banks and insurance companies have spent considerable amounts of money and resourceson their IT-systems. IT-costs constitute the second largest cost after personal costs for banks, which mean over 20 percent of the total costs. The margins in banking and insurance industry are diminishing in Sweden, and at the same time they are facing more complex applications that have to be integrated into 30 years old IT-systems. IT- outsourcing and joint ventures are common in Finland, whereas Swedish banks and insurance companies have the IT-function in- house. IT-outsourcing is not a new phenomenon, and it has both advantages and disadvantages. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate if IT-outsourcing is suitable for banks and insurance companies with a focus on the Swedish and Finnish market. Furthermore, analyses on which part of the IT-function is core and strategically important for banks and insurance companies, and which part of the IT-function is a standard procedure that does not create value. Method: The paper has been carried out as a survey and interviews with the IT- responsible and divisional heads from the biggest Swedish and Finnish banks and insurance companies. Results: IT-production is not a core competence nor high asset specificity for banks and insurance companies. Swedish banks have reached economic of scale in their IT-production, but insurance companies do not possess the high cost effectiveness that banks have in their IT-production. IT-production is a standard service and easy to specify in contracts, which have an effect on outsourcing decisions. Application management and development is near the core business and should not be outsourced. However, some parts in development are standard and could be outsourced if the company can build a good and competitive purchase organisation. Application development is such a complex matter and that is why joint venture with an IT-supplier will be preferred in the future. The Finnish IT-outsourcing market differs from the Swedish, because the Swedish companies have bigger IT-organisations, furthermore the Swedish IT- outsourcing market was destroyed in the beginning in the 90s. The bad experience in Sweden has led to loss of faith in IT-suppliers on the market, this has a large influence on outsourcing decisions.

為進一步保障勞工老年退休後經濟狀況無虞，維持其原本生活水平，行政院會於2011年12月29日通過《勞工退休金條例》修正草案，放寬企業開辦年金保險條件，企業規模在200人以上者，只要經工會或勞資會議同意，即可開辦企業年金保險，而勞工也可審視其收益狀況，選擇是否將個人退休金專戶轉換為企業年金保險。此項立法通過後，可望帶動壽險公司勞退自提部分企業年金保險商品的銷售商機。 站在勞工的角度來看，任職公司為職工規劃企業年金保險，可以讓員工提早為退休金做儲蓄，更專注於工作做努力。 從政府的角度觀察，為國內勞工做好規劃及監督與把關，更加健全、完善與更多選擇的退休金商品與制度，能給予勞工一個無憂無慮的退休生活，相對的能節省更多可能的社會福利支出，將政府資源投入國家基礎建設與經濟發展中。 站在壽險公司的方向研究，企業退休金市場的經營一直都是壽險公司所高度關注的一個區塊，只要提供適合的商品及規劃，企業為勞工、勞工為自己所提存的保費收入，是每月都會有穩定的現金流入，有利於壽險業做長期的投資規劃，再者透過企業年金保險制度的推廣，能接觸到更多的客戶與更加深入了解客戶的需求，便於設計出市場接受度高的商品，有利提供壽險公司的經營與投資績效。 最後從企業經營面來規劃，實施企業年金保險制度，能替員工提供一個更長久的退休計畫，為企業規劃一個更完善的員工獎勵制度與留才計畫；員工是企業最重要的資產，若未針對企業中的“人”此項有形資產加以運用，企業將不會產生任何無形的超額利益，本文希望藉由對企業年金保險制度之分析與介紹，期有助於國內壽險業發展企業年金保險與企業參酌實施企業年金保險制度之意願研究之參考。 / To have labors adapt to life after retirement, the Executive Yuan approved the Amendment of the Labor Pension Act on December 29, 2011.

Notre recherche est focalisée sur le rôle du contrôleur de gestion dans les compagnies d’assurance d’un pays appartenant à une région de perturbations économiques et politiques continues tel que le Liban.Ainsi, notre thèse vise à saisir les conditions dans lesquelles les sociétés d’assurance libanaises choisissent leurs pratiques de contrôle de gestion, et plus précisément à déterminer les différents facteurs de contingence qui peuvent influer sur la fonction contrôle de gestion des compagnies d’assurance au Liban. L’emploi de deux méthodologies a permis d’obtenir un éclairage approfondi des pratiques de contrôle de gestion dans les sociétés d’assurance au Liban. L’étude exploratoire menée auprès de sept compagnies d’assurance a mis en exergue l’existence de deux types de fonction contrôle de gestion, qui se distinguent par leur autonomie relative vis-à-vis de la direction générale de l’entreprise.Plus particulièrement, le rôle du contrôleur de gestion dépend de sa position dans la structure, et sa marge d’autorité varie selon son rattachement hiérarchique.Une typologie plus large est réalisée ensuite par une étude quantitative approfondie à l’aide d’un questionnaire, menée auprès de seize compagnies d’assurance libanaises. L’étude quantitative a apporté un éclairage plus précis en mettant en exergue l’existence de trois types du système de contrôle de gestion dans les sociétés d’assurance libanaises : le système de contrôle de gestion organisationnel, le système de contrôle de gestion partagé, et le système d’information général. L’adoption d’un de ces trois types diffère selon des facteurs de contingence comme la taille, l’internationalisation de la société, la nature de l’actionnariat…, mais aussi la conception de la fonction de contrôle de gestion par la gouvernance de l’organisation / Our research focuses on the role of the management controller in insurance companies in a country belonging to a region of continuous economic and political disturbances such as Lebanon.Thus, our thesis aims to capture the conditions under which Lebanese insurance companies choose their management control practice, and more specifically to determine the different contingency factors that can influence the management control function of insurance companies in Lebanon.The use of two methodologies has provided an insight into management control practices in insurance companies in Lebanon.The exploratory study conducted within seven insurance companies highlighted the existence of two types of management control functions, which are distinguished by their relative autonomy vis-à-vis of the company general management.More particularly, the role of the management controller depends on his position within the structure, and his authority margin varies according to his hierarchical connection.A broader typology is then carried out by a thorough quantitative study using a survey conducted among sixteen Lebanese insurance companies.The quantitative study shed more light on the existence of three types of management control systems in Lebanese insurance companies: the organizational management control system, the shared management control system, and the general information system. The adoption of one of these three types differs according to several contingency factors such as the company’s size, the internationalization of the company, the nature of the shareholding ..., and also according to the conception of the management control function designated by the governance of the organization
