The Italian banking system represents an ideal experimental setting since it is characterized by a heterogeneous range of banks. The processes of deregulation, innovation and consolidation during the 1990s prompted a new competitive contest within the banking system, which forced new managerial strategies to emerge from attempts to find new opportunities in terms of increased profits.KeywordsTotal AssetCredit UnionInternational Financial Reporting StandardSmall BankHerfindahl Hirschman IndexThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
