This study is expected to provide findings on the impact of AIS on Ecobank performance in the Ghanaian banking industry since some researchers made in Ghana have been found to have researched on some areas AIS has impacted but not on Ecobank performance. Therefore, this study will improve the literature on the adoption of AIS, its influence on Ecobank performance and other equally relevant areas covered in the research. It will also serve as a guide and reference material for future researchers that will be done in this area.

Although there are about 36 banks in Ghana, not all the banks will be investigated on but just a few of them will aid in getting the information needed.

AIG’s corporate culture played a big role in its downfall. They seemed to be more concerned about their own personal gains in the short run than what the effects were going to be in the long run. The company did very poorly and accumulated billions of dollars in the red, and still many top executives were getting paid in cash bonuses after the bailout. These bonuses amounted to almost 2-3 times their salaries they earned before the bailout. AIG’s focus was on the reward system this placed little responsibility on executives who made poor decisions. This resulted in many believing AIG had neither concern nor acknowledgement to changing their ways. Also, shortly after the bailout AIG spent over $300,000 on a conference held in phoenix at a lavish resort. This did not sit very well with stakeholders. AIG executives and upper management time and time again were showing little change in business practices even after the bailout.

Staff complains about the work load as a result of the redundancy and not being compensated fairly. Furthermore, the organization is not risk averse as compared to their competitors which contributes to the decline in sales and
In the 1980s the Government of Kenya realized the need to design and implement policy reforms to foster sustainable economic development for an efficient and stable financial system. In particular, it set out to enhance the role of the private sector in the economy to reduce the demands of public enterprises on the exchequer, rationalize the operations of the public enterprise sector to broaden the base of ownership and enhance capital market development. It had become apparent that the commercial banks could not support and sustain a desirable economic development because they could not offer the necessary long-term credit. In 1984, a study on the Development of Money and Capital Markets in Kenya was jointly undertaken by the Central Bank of Kenya and the International Finance Corporation with the objectives of making recommendations on measures that would ensure active development and strengthening of the financial sector.
