IMPACTING THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE AT A
BANK BRANCH THROUGH A DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK
In this Working Paper, we detail the attributes of a branch DCN. The significance of
the branch and the importance of enhancing the customer experience therein is also
addressed. In addition, we delineate the major benefits to be derived from a branch
DCN. Finally, concepts relative to measuring the effectiveness of a bank DCN are
advanced.
This Working Paper contributes to the study of implementing a DCN in a bank branch
in the following ways:
1. The positive impact on the customer branch experience resulting from a DCN
is detailed.
2. We demonstrate that banks tend to under-invest in consumer facing
information technologies. Further, we illustrate that banks overspend on traditional
forms of mass advertising. As a result, we advance that banks should redirect capital
into branch DCNs.
3. We detail the significant benefits that can be realized by a bank from the
deployment of a DCN.
