Introduction

The Management Information System has always been helpful for organizations.

The MIS workers assist the organizations to extract the maximum advantage from investment in the business execution. The research would reveal the work process of the Deutsche Bank, role of the data warehousing, the advantages and the disadvantages of the systems, the code of conduct of the bank and so on. In accordance with Amato et al.(2019), the analysis on the work of the different sectors of the bank with the interconnections of the divisions and their impact on the growth of the organization is discussed vividly. It would also summarize the ethical, legal and professional implications associated with information handling and security.

Description of how the different business divisions of Deutsche Bank are interconnected

Different division of business in a bank usually interconnected with the help of cloud platforms and chain of network mainly associated with the global operating network. In other words, banking sector in respect of corporate and investment bank is associated for the purpose of having suitable functional areas like global banking and market flow and channel (db.com. 2020). In other words, the bank works in a matrix organisational structure with its global operating branches. Below are the organisational chart and the process of data flow within global operations of the bank.

Considering this diagram, it throws on the strategic ways that the bank works from one of its units to the other. As per db.com (2020), it works in four of its divisions from its corporate Bank, to its investment bank, private and Asset Manager DWS. In this entire flow, it can be drawn and focused below:

The main aim of all the three units of Deutsche is to develop and offer financial and other services to their respective clients and customers by improving or outstrip the infrastructure effectively by introducing new technologies and using digital gadgets. In the present era new technologies and modernise digital gadgets are used to increase efficiency and flexibility to build better customer relationships in banking sectors. Deutsche Bank fails to adapt digitally remarkably whereas other banking and financial sectors modernize with the technological methods and services (dbresearch.com, 2020). The bank has invested on new technologies to improve their product service, hoping to solve bank problems but efforts have proved unsuccessful. However, the implementation of new technologies did not work out and the bank suffered from regionalizes system and procedures, poor usage of data and IT reports and above all problems with traditional software.

The dependence of each business units on each other

On the other hand, Deutsche bank has opened five innovation labs in different parts of the world. The innovation labs have been proved to be useful for improving and developing the system and procedure of the bank. The first innovation lab opened in Asia Pacific by Deutsche bank was in Singapore (dbresearch.com 2020). However, the bank could increase their efficiency and productivity by implementing a standard IT structure, improve customer experience through digital application and taking the advantages of innovation labs and keep on expanding in other cities of the world.

Apart from that, the products they are dealing with are mainly the retirement planning, securities, loans and deposits. Corporate finance ensures the delivery of the entire range of financial products and services to the industries and sectional team. The wide range of financial market products are bonds, equities and equity related products, money market, foreign exchanges and many more. The asset management helps to preserve and increase wealth among the individuals and institutions both (companieshistory.com 2020). They mainly deal with the selection of finest products and solutions of wealth and resource or asset management means. From the above study, it has been identified that Deutsche bank has taken steps to improve their IT structure but have failed in various aspects like streamlining the process and improving customer relationship with implementing the digital gadget (ft.com 2019). Hence, it can be evident from this perspective here that the bank can even develop and well settle itself in all its divisions.

Reasons for this Structure:

The main sources of revenue for Deutsche Bank are generated from the three business units. Investment banking is the core business of Deutsche Bank. Through this trading bank earns revenue in the form of commission or brokerage. There are some other ways from which banks generate revenues like demand drafts, guarantees and also from the transfer of funds utilized for overseas transactions via wire (companieshistory.com 2020).

The bank earns revenue from mortgage 5%, capital market or asset management 10%, loan fees 5%, services charges 10% and from other 5% and rest 65% from interest- SNL and Company document; Deutsche Bank (May 2011). The Private and commercial bank revenue growth up to 2.2 billion euro every year, Asset Management revenue has a growth of 9% and Investment banks revenue was driven up by 18% due to the growth in foreign exchange, currencies and fixed income (dbresearch.com 2020).

The importance of maintaining marketing strategy for a bank has an impact on its performance and it also stimulates the turnover year after year. The Deutsche bank plays a vital role for its groups. It is responsible for economic analysis and advises its stakeholders, customers and other business units (db.com 2019).The bank has been facing losses and stock decline for the past few years. This is not only due to economic endorsement and regulations that has imposed on the company but also due to companies’ failure to adapt digital trends and mismanagement in the IT department. To keep a foothold in the market of banking and services, the bank has invested and is robust on the practice of digital gadgets and new technologies (db.com. 2020). Deutsche Bank has a great reputation for their commercial banking activities apart from investment banking and asset management. So, the main objective for a bank in running this kind of business structure is to have a successfully engaging and coordinated people working in a chain of matrix structure so that their customer can be satisfied, as per customised choice and ways.
