Service Robots in the Frontline: How Will Aarion Bank’s Customers Respond?
Jochen Wirtz, Stefanie Paluch, Werner H. Kunz · 2021
The top management at Aarion Bank was pushing for a rapid digital transformation and intelligent automation.

These included smart artificial intelligence (AI)-powered self-service technologies and service robots. Nikita Jones, the vice president of customer service, was worried about how some customer segments would respond to this strategic direction the bank was to embark upon and how she could prepare her team and its various customer segments for this digital transformation.
