Currently in Taiwan, there are about 450,000 people with net assets of US$100,000 and this number is estimated to exceed 510,000 (people) in three years. The market of wealth management is in its infancy and the potential for future development in this sector is huge. Moreover, the emerging trends of financial holding companies, ¡§cross marketing¡¨ strategies as well as an under-cultivated market will be contributing factors for the banking industry to be able to expand and grow into the wealth management sector. In the highly competitive financial sector, the margin for administering traditional deposits and lending is getting narrower all the time. Furthermore, under government regulation, a bank must provide a certain amount of reserves for bad debts in its administration. Therefore, the main objective of the Bank of Kaohsiung is to create more revenue for its sustainability. The Bank of Kaohsiung (BOK) has been engaged in the wealth management business since September 2002. This report details the study of ¡§ The Strategy planning for the wealth management sector for the Bank of Kaohsiung¡¨. The motive of this research is not only to gain more revenue from non-risk administrative fees but also to help improve the core competitive ability of the Bank of Kaohsiung. This research mainly focused on the SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat) analysis of the staff of BOK; to understand their position in the promotion of wealth management and how to plan the market strategy for this sector through a systematic procedure (Questionnaire Survey included). Through this study, we would like to understand our clients¡¦ needs as well as the direction of future development. This would enable us to improve our competitive edge in this sector. In conclusion, we hope that this document may provide a reference guide to peers for promoting their wealth management business in the banking industry.

Appreciative Inquiry is a revolution in the way we look at our organizations, a holistic approach that begins with the health of the organization, understanding what we do well and building on our strengths, rather than focusing on our problems. Early in 2006, BC Electronic Library Network conducted an Appreciative Inquiry Interview Exercise, for two purposes: strategic planning, and communications. The results were astonishing: a collection of stories and quotes of BC ELN's best, from a great variety of perspectives and throughout BC ELN's history, that are being used to inform BC ELN communications, and will form part of the BC ELN website. The Weller Library, University of Northern British Columbia, conducted a recent strategic planning process employing the appreciative inquiry approach. This session will present a brief overview of the Appreciative Inquiry approach, and outline the processes and results of the BC ELN and University of Northern British Columbia exercises.

This is an empirical investigation of the nature of corporate strategic planning practices among major corporations operating in the ASEAN countries - Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia. The study is structured along a hypothesis testing framework. The data was collected via mailed survey instruments (using mainly 5-point Likert-type scales) which were developed for each respondent type - the Chief Executive, Senior Manager, and Corporate Planner - and refined through pre-testing. Comparative analyses are made of inter-country and inter-industry differences in strategic planning practices. Hypotheses concerning the interrelationships of strategic, contextual and performance variables are then subjected to statistical testing. This study found interesting individual as well as patterns of correlationships between strategic-contextual, contextual-performance, and strategic-performance variables. The implications of these findings to management were discussed. Suggestions were also made as to the future directions of planning research.
