Abstract

[eng] Towards an industrial economy of banking alliances ? . In order to broaden the scope of investigation of industrial banking economy, this article aims at checking if the analytical body of industrial alliances can serve as a reference for the understanding of banking alliances. While banking alliances seem to be an appropriate answer to the new competitive environment, their interpretation by the theoretical body of industrial cooperation shows that it is possible to borrow concepts from industrial economy and to apply them to financial intermediaries. For example, it has been possible to outline a typology and to search a theoretical explanation for alliances between banks based on ideas originally developed in actual industries. This conceptual transfer needs, however, to adapt actual tools to the specificity of banking activity. Therefore, the approach in terms of transaction cost seems more appropriate to the explanation of vertical and horizontal alliances. In the same way, the analysis in terms of complementariness, which finds in network and know-how a satisfactory field of application, does not take into account some incentives, like the will to share risks. As regards interpretation by the learning process, the increasing importance attached to innovation and technology in industrial cooperation makes the adaptation effort even stronger. seems more appropriate to the explanation of vertical and horizontal alliances.

[fre] Dans le but d'élargir le champ d'investigation de l'économie industrielle bancaire, cet article cherche à vérifier si le corps analytique des alliances industrielles peut servir de référence pour comprendre les alliances bancaires. Si les alliances bancaires semblent être une réponse appropriée au nouveau contexte concurrentiel, leur interprétation par le corps théorique de la coopération industrielle montre qu'il est possible d'emprunter des concepts à l'économie industrielle et de les appliquer aux intermédiaires financiers. À titre d'exemple, il a été possible de dresser une typologie et de rechercher des explications théoriques des alliances entre banques à partir de notions originellement développées dans les industries réelles. Ce transfert conceptuel nécessite cependant d'adapter les outils de la sphère réelle à la spécificité de l'activité bancaire. Ainsi, l'approche en termes de coût de transaction semble mieux appropriée à l'explication des alliances verticales qu'horizontales. De même, l'analyse en termes de complémentarité qui trouve un terrain d'application satisfaisant en matière de réseau et de savoir-faire ne prend pas en compte certaines motivations comme la volonté de partager les risques. En ce qui concerne l'interprétation par le processus d'apprentissage, l'importance plus grande accordée à l'innovation et à la technologie dans la coopération industrielle rend plus intense l'effort d'adaptation.
