Abstract

Networks are considered as tools of collaboration between different sections of society. Using networks, all stakeholders can be involved in the policy-making process. The digitalization of the economy in general & the banking industry in particular, is among the phenomena of the present age. The study aims at developing a network model for digital banking in Iran. This study is a descriptive-exploratory one, using semi-structured interviews as data collection tool. Theme analysis technique has been used to analyze the data. The research population is economic & banking policy-making experts, especially digital banking specialists in Iran, & the research sample has been selected using purposive sampling method. Finally, a model has been designed that includes the necessities, inputs, actors, synergistic interactions among the actors & the impacts of network policy-making in digital banking. This model can be considered as a platform used for solving many current problems, including the indetermination of digital banking executives & the multiplicity of digital banking policy makers.
