This study is one of the first to use questionnaire survey data from lender representatives, and analyzes the relationship between the financial metrics of a lenders performance and soft information factors in inter-bank competition. The authors empirical results suggest that utilizing soft information allows banks to attain a more precise lending decision. The Financial Services Agency in Japan introduced an action program in 2003 that requires regional banks to shift from transaction banking to relationship lending. Against that background, this book examines the influence of relationship lending on a lenders performance. This study found that relationship lending allows lenders to charge a higher premium to counteract the high risk involved with SMEs. The book also examines how relationship lending affects lending performance in inter-bank competition. The conclusion is that, even though inter-bank competition has negative effects, a bank in a competitive local market can acquire an informational advantage to limit its own loss. This book categorizes three soft information factors: organizational systems, networks or alliances/partnerships, and business/management leadership based on survey data. The authors findings suggest that information production, especially network and business/leadership information, plays an essential role in promoting a banks profitability. These effects are strong even when banks face high inter-bank competition. Relationship lending not only improves bankers lending techniques, but also fosters and enhances their community knowledge and enables them to survive in a highly competitive market. 000899010 588__ $$aOnline resource ; title from PDF title page (viewed July 24, 2019). 000899010 650_0 $$aCommercial loans$$zJapan. 000899010 650_0 $$aSmall business$$zJapan$$xFinance. 000899010 650_0 $$aBanks and banking$$zJapan. 000899010 7001_ $$aNakaoka, Takayoshi,$$eauthor. 000899010 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9811384711$$z9789811384714$$w(OCoLC)1099333533 000899010 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in economics.$$pDevelopment Bank of Japan research series. 000899010 852__ $$bebk 000899010 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-13-8472-1$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000899010 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:899010$$pGLOBAL_SET 000899010 980__ $$aEBOOK 000899010 980__ $$aBIB 000899010 982__ $$aEbook 000899010 983__ $$aOnline 000899010 994__ $$a92$$bISE
