<p>Merger and Acquisition is relatively new reorganization practice undertaken to strengthen the BFIs in the Nepalese financial market. This study makes an attempt to analyze the financial performance of merged banking and financial institutions relative to their pre-merger performance, and assess the perception of the stakeholders towards merger. Six banks and financial institutions are considered as sample to undertake this study along with 120 respondents for secondary and primary data respectively. The financial ratios comparison method along with t-test of changes in performance measures has been used. This study found that merger impacts performance positively when larger and stable parties such as commercial banks act as bidders as opposed to the merger between smaller BFIs mainly other than commercial banks as bidder. The loan quality significantly deteriorates after merger in most of the cases and profitability measured in terms of ROA and ROE is adversely affected in most of the cases after the merger. Therefore, the merger should not be considered as the definite solutions to overcome the challenges faced in the market; enough evaluation is needed to select the right partners before executing the merger.</p><p>Journal of Business and Social Sciences Research, Vol. 2, No. 1 &amp; 2, pp. 47-68</p>

This paper, therefore, attempts to examine the financial performance and factors influencing financial performance of Nepalese financial depositary institutions in the framework of CAMEL. This study is based on descriptive cum casual research design. This study is based on secondary data which was extracted from various publications published by Nepal Rastra Bank such as banking and financial statistics, financial stability report and bank supervision report. All commercial banks, development banks, and finance companies are taken as population of the study. The study deals with financial performance analysis of entire population covering five years from 2014/15 to 2018/19. The variables such as capital adequacy, assets quality, management efficiency, earnings and liquidity are used to analyze financial performance. Descriptive as well as pooled regression analysis was used to assess the relationship among the variables. Descriptive analysis shows that financial institutions in each category meet NRB standard regarding capital adequacy. On the basis of capital adequacy and earnings, finance companies stand at first, on the basis of assets quality, development banks stand at first and on the basis of management efficiency, commercial banks stand at first. Finance companies store high liquidity as compared to other class financial institutions. The regression analysis shows that return on assets, ROA has significant positive relationship with capital adequacy and ROE but ROA has significant negative relationship with assets quality. However, return on equity, ROE has significant positive relationship with assets quality and ROA but ROE has significant negative relationship with capital adequacy. Capital adequacy and assets quality play major role to maximize ROA and ROE of financial institutions.

This chapter addresses service-oriented information systems from a management perspective. It is evident that running a service-oriented enterprise brings up new challenges for management. Given the technological opportunities, the challenge lies essentially in choosing the right mix of services on the basis of an appropriate architecture. For this purpose, strategic considerations regarding, for example, the company’s flexibility have to be justified by financial performance measures. This is particularly evident as long-term economic consequences result from decisions on the service portfolio. Thus, evidence is required about the fact that these decisions are in alignment with the company’s financial situation. The total costs of ownership (TCO) caused by a particular service-oriented information system, as well as the return on investment (ROI) gained by it, give examples for appropriate financial performance measures. In this chapter, a measurement system is presented that facilitates the assessment of the various financial consequences within a comprehensive framework. The system is grounded in decision theory and capital budgeting, and it is illustrated by its application within practical examples.

 Objective: To assess the corporate social responsibility practices in Nepalese commercial banking sector. Methods and Materials: Primary and secondary sources of data were used in the study. The primary data were collected through direct questionnaire method from 60 employees of sampled commercial banks. The secondary source was through journals, textbooks and annual reports of Nepal Rastra Bank. SPSS and Microsoft excel were used to analyze the collected data. The value of Cronbach’s Alpha (α) of overall questionnaire is 0.92, which suggests the reliability of primary data. Descriptive and explorative research designs were used to analyze the primary and secondary data. Results and Conclusion: Responses from all the respondents of commercial banks regarding CSR and Non-Financial Performance clearly imply that CSR has an influence on the Non-Financial Performance. In terms of ‘R2’, CSR impacts both Brand Image and Brand Awareness (i.e. 0.987). This clearly indicates that more than 98.7% variance of both non-financial performances has been explained by CSR. In terms of ‘R2’, CSR impacts less in financial performance (i.e. 0.149). This clearly indicates that only than 14.9% variance of financial performance has been explained by CSR.
