‘Political systems can exert significant pressure on the development and use of information systems in organisations’ (Beynon-Davies, 2004). This normally occurs through to requirements of particular aspects of national and super-national legislation. They generally require an organisation to behave in a certain way. (Johansson, 2009)
One issue that is considered for Nordea’s e-business system is that it raises challenging questions about the effectiveness of law, which in the non-electronic world has evolved over centuries to reach its current form. This idea goes on to suggest that although the goals of low remain the same when applied to e-business, it often falls short of meeting these goals. ‘Hence new forms of legislation designed to cope with the practicalities of e-business are inevitable’ (Beynon-Davies, 2004).
‘Nordea is known as the biggest Nordic bank by market value’ (Reuters, 2010)
Nordea Banks have outperformed banks everywhere else in Europe, thanks to a strong capital level and their ongoing strong performance.
Regarding Monopoly legislation, as Nordea are gradually taking all customers in Nordic bank region, they need to ensure that they don’t become accused of violating its dominant position in the bank market by leveraging it to move into other e-business markets at the expense of its competitors.
