- Abstract : Subject area: The case study uses a strategic foresight method, scenario-planning, to examine the strategic options for a financial services firm. As such, it covers the fields of strategy, environment of business, innovation, digital disruption and organizational change as they relate to the firm's ability to adapt to changes in the environment of business in an emerging market context. Study level/applicability: The case was developed with master's-level students in mind, particularly those seeking a master of business administration, masters in strategic foresight or related management degrees. Case overview: The case of NEDBANK, a longstanding and successful financial services firm based in South Africa is confronted with major challenges from competitors because of technological change in the industry as well as having to expand their market penetration across Africa. A rising regulatory burden, tough economic conditions and the need to access low income markets, provide a significant organizational development challenge as a decades-old bank, known for a relational approach to banking, has to navigate the new domains of "fintech", micro-lending and public sector banking. Expected learning outcomes: Students will gain comprehensive insight into the industry environment in emerging markets, understand the strategic management challenge before financial services firms in this environment and be able to consider the alternative strategic interventions that mayAbstract : Subject area: The case study uses a strategic foresight method, scenario-planning, to examine the strategic options for a financial services firm.

Simultaneously, the case provides a comprehensive view into the use and application of scenario-planning for strategic management.
