A Report on the Current Position, the Ultimate Sustainability of Current Strategy, and Future Strategy Recommendations of the Wells Fargo Bank Essay

Those guys have gone their own way. That doesnt mean that everything theyve done has been right. But theyve never felt compelled to do anything because other banks were doing it, and thats how banks get in trouble, when they say, Everybody else is doing it, why shouldnt I? Warren Buffett on Wells Fargo Alberta Premier Rachel Notley Introduction The quote from Warren Buffett, presented above, may be one of the best compliments that Wells Fargo, the San Francisco-based banking giant, has ever received. Buffett does not speak to Wells Fargos profits or organizational structure, but their overarching strategy to do what they knew they needed to do, regardless of what others in the industry were or have been doing. This is, as Buffett points out, what has set the bank apart from competitors and what has arguably made it the most valuable bank in the world in recent years. However, this is not to say that Wells Fargo does everything right and that there is not room for improvement in strategic development. With this in mind, the executive report presented here is designed to assess what the banks current position, the ultimate sustainability of its current strategy, and several specific recommendations for how it can develop strategy going into the future. In other words, the report discusses what Wells Fargo has done well in the past, what it is doing well now but may consider changing, and how it can continue to do well in the future. The current position of Wells Fargo is clearly strong in relation to its competitors, as will be discussed below. The report presents several of the factors of Wells Fargos performance that gives it this strength. This will lead into a discussion of the banks current strategy, according to both outside sources and the vision, values, and mission of Wells Fargo itself. However, the report also discusses the possibility of this approach not being sustainable...

Character Analysis of Basil Hallward in The Picture of Dorian Gray, a Novel by Oscar Wilde Essay

The main character in The Picture of Dorian Gray, Dorian, is a man too easily influenced by his surroundings. He is quoted as saying, Basil Hallward is what I think I am Lord Henry is what the world thinks me Dorian is what I would like to bein other ages, perhaps (Wilde). This comparison falls in line with the moral of the story because Dorian is stuck with eternal youth and beauty even though he has a wicked soul. This causes different views of him by people who observe his daily life. Dorian is a sponge throughout the novel that absorbs everything and allows it to shape his personality, morals, and actions. Dorian Gray takes influence from Lord Henry, Basil Hallward, and the culture of society during which the novel was written. Lord Henry is the epitome of a wealthy, hedonistic gentleman seeking only pleasure, with little regard to cost or consequence. Lord Henry Wotton outwardly propounds hedonism, but it is his extreme egotism that drives him to manipulate both Basil Hallward a

Religious Symbolism in The Blessed Damozel, a Poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti Essay

Dante Gabriel Rossettis poem The Blessed Damozel is full of religious symbolism. There is talk of saints, and the poem itself takes place in heaven. But underneath the religious symbolism is a deep sensuality, that makes one wonder if the white rose of Marys gift referred to in line nine is the gift of Mary the Virgin, or the somewhat less virginal Mary Magdalene. While the Damozel is in heaven, her appearance in heaven, her behaviors in life, and what happens when she and her lover are reunited suggest some less than virginal dealings, yet the damozel is blessed and resides in heaven. Rossetti was the child of liberals kicked out of Italy a heavily catholic country for their extreme political views. While Rossetti himself was not political, he may have espoused similar views regarding politics and religion as his parents. In the poem The Blessed Damozel, Rossetti was given the chance to essentially create his own heaven. Most everything he wrote seems to show that Rossetti espoused

An Analysis of the Character of Chichikov in the Poem, Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol Essay

Dead Souls takes place in the Russia of the late 1800s, where, unlike in America, one must be born into a prosperous family in order to have opportunities. The main character, Chichikov, is clever enough to develop a scheme in which he can rise from being a petty clerk to a respected landowner. In order to do this, Chichikov moves into a new town, pretending to already be a landowner, and begins a quest to buy the names of dead serfs who have not yet been officially reported dead. Each person that Chichkov presents this offer to has a different reaction, starting with the shy and introverted Manilov. Though he does not understand Chichikov's need for the names of these dead serfs, Manilov is a character that is so desperate for company that it does not take any effort to trick him into selling his dead souls cheaply. However, as Chichikov continues his journey, he starts to deal with more clever landowners who become suspicious of his scheme. Chichikov finds that the townsmen know
