The thesis analyzes change management in the digital payments sector, focu-sing on the challenges posed by the PS3 Directive and the adaptation of Euro-pean banks to the current context. Through a literature review and a study on UniCredit, the work examines the application of four established models used to address effective transitions. Organizations in the digital payments sector face transformations accelerated by technological innovations, such as AI and open banking, and regulatory pressures, including the PS3, which modernizes the PS2 Directive by emphasi-zing security, transparency, and competition between banks and FinTechs. The main challenges include compliance costs, IT infrastructure upgrades, employees' difficulty in accepting change, and lack of skills. The thesis adopts a qualitative approach through a literature review on change management. It analyzes the models of Lewin, Kotter, ADKAR, and Ander-son-Ackerman. The study on UniCredit CEE demonstrates various practical applications of the aforementioned models, deriving operational guidelines generalizable to other sector operators. Finally, regarding possible future developments, the thesis suggests conducting empirical research on PS3 Directive implementations through quantitative metrics and comparisons with non-European organizations.
La tesi analizza il change management nel settore dei pagamenti digitali, foca-lizzandosi sulle sfide poste dalla Direttiva PS3 e sull'adattamento delle banche europee al contesto odierno. Attraverso una revisione della letteratura e uno studio su UniCredit, l’elaborato analizza l’applicazione di quattro modelli con-solidati per sviluppare transizioni efficaci. Le organizzazioni del settore die pagamenti digitali affrontano trasformazioni accelerate da innovazioni tecnologiche, come AI e open banking, e pressioni regolatorie, inclusa la PS3, la quale modernizza la PS2 penendo l’enfasi su si-curezza, trasparenza, e concorrenza tra banche e FinTech. Le principali sfide includono costi relativi alla compliance, all‘upgrade delle infrastrutture IT, alla difficoltà dei dipendenti nell’accettare un cambiamento, e alla mancanza di competenze. La tesi adotta un approccio qualitativo attarverso la revisione della letteratura sul change management. Vengoino analizzati i modelli di Lewin, Kotter, AD-KAR, e di Anderson-Ackerman. Lo studio su UniCredit CEE dimostra varie applicazioni pratiche dei precedenti modelli citati, derivando linee guida opera-tive generalizzabili ad altri operatori del settore. Infine, riguardo possibili sviluppi futuri, la tesi suggerisce la possibilità di svol-gere ricerche empiriche sulle implementazioni della Direttiva PS3 attraverso metriche quantitative e confronti con organizzazioni extraeuropee.

Abstract
The thesis analyzes change management in the digital payments sector, focu-sing on the challenges posed by the PS3 Directive and the adaptation of Euro-pean banks to the current context. Through a literature review and a study on UniCredit, the work examines the application of four established models used to address effective transitions. Organizations in the digital payments sector face transformations accelerated by technological innovations, such as AI and open banking, and regulatory pressures, including the PS3, which modernizes the PS2 Directive by emphasi-zing security, transparency, and competition between banks and FinTechs. The main challenges include compliance costs, IT infrastructure upgrades, employees' difficulty in accepting change, and lack of skills. The thesis adopts a qualitative approach through a literature review on change management. It analyzes the models of Lewin, Kotter, ADKAR, and Ander-son-Ackerman. The study on UniCredit CEE demonstrates various practical applications of the aforementioned models, deriving operational guidelines generalizable to other sector operators. Finally, regarding possible future developments, the thesis suggests conducting empirical research on PS3 Directive implementations through quantitative metrics and comparisons with non-European organizations.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
