Once these analyses were done for both business model description and financial performance, the study attempted to assess if the banks with the richest business model description yielded the best financial performance. The findings revealed that the banks with the richest business model description were not necessarily the best performing banks, in actual fact, these banks had low ratings for their performance, and the banks with the lowest rating for their business model description had the highest financial performance rating. However, other factors contributed to these ratings, such as some banks had low ratings for their business model description due to their business models not following the Framework. Conversely, for a more detailed and an in depth analysis and to distinguish whether there is a relationship between business model description and financial performance, the study applied correlation coefficient by using the business model description scores and financial performance components scores for each bank for the three years. The results revealed that there was a strong positive correlation between 2017 and 2018, and a weak positive correlation in 2019. This meant that indeed there was a relationship between the business model description and the bank’s financial performance. While the limitations of this study have been acknowledged, the study has contributed to the knowledge of understanding the relationship between business models and financial performance in a South African context. However, further research could be conducted on more banks in order to deduct a broader view on the relationship between business model description and financial performance of South African banks. Moreover, it would be of greater significance to conduct the various analyses over a longer period of time, because with a broader scope of data, for a longer period, more conclusive findings could be possible.]]> Wed 30 Mar 2022 15:40:29 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:44915 Wed 27 Oct 2021 13:31:53 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:52064 Wed 15 Jun 2022 11:41:27 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42952 Wed 12 May 2021 14:42:52 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42810 Wed 12 May 2021 14:39:44 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42944 Wed 12 May 2021 14:03:03 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46634 Tue 15 Feb 2022 12:04:01 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:45640 Tue 11 Jan 2022 12:45:31 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:44923 Thu 28 Oct 2021 10:11:44 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:42924 Mon 17 May 2021 11:50:31 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46580 Mon 14 Feb 2022 15:46:28 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:46236 Mon 07 Feb 2022 13:26:04 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:48601 Fri 18 Mar 2022 13:01:53 SAST ]]> https://commons.ufh.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:66305 Fri 04 Aug 2023 13:49:48 SAST ]]>
