   <abstract xml:lang="ru">
    <p>Одним из основных каналов банковской деятельности является филиальная сеть, поскольку именно филиальная сеть обеспечивает большую часть эффективной деятельности банка, в том числе его прибыльность. Выбор правильного расположения филиалов очень важен для эффективной работы банка. Выбор локации случайным или интуитивным образом может в дальнейшем оказать негативное влияние на ключевые показатели эффективности банка. Правильный и продуманный выбор места расположения филиала, в конечном итоге, определит его максимальную эффективность. Данная статья посвящена определению местоположения отделений банка не интуитивно и случайным образом, а математическим расчетом, с учетом множества факторов. В статье разработана специальная методика расчета с использованием методики DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), финансовых и других показателей филиала, особенностей местоположения. В статье рассматривается, будет ли более эффективным один крупный филиал (действующий) на пример на улице Шарифзаде в г. Баку, или несколько небольших филиалов, которые будут охватывать более широкую территорию. Важно рассматривать территорию в разных конфигурациях в зависимости от геолокации и ландшафта. Один из главных вопросов – насколько целесообразно открытие одного крупного или нескольких мелких филиалов в густонаселенных районах с учетом окружающей инфраструктуры для повышения эффективности работы банка. С целью максимально приблизиться к реальности в данной статье наряду с гипотетическими данными будут использованы реальные статистические показатели «Капитал Банка», одного из самых крупных банков Азербайджана. В статье исследовано, насколько целесообразно открывать один крупный или несколько мелких филиалов на территории, близкой к существующему филиалу «Капитал банка» на улице Шарифзаде – самой крупной и богатой инфраструктурой улице г. Баку. Чтобы найти конечный результат, эффективность работы действующего филиала сравнивалась с суммарной эффективностью виртуальных филиалов в нескольких сочетаниях.</p>

    <p>One of the main banking activities is the branch network. It provides the effective banking, the profitability. Choosing the right location of branches is very important for the bank effective operation. Random or intuitively locations can have a negative impact on key performance indicators in the future. The correct and thoughtful choice of the bank branch location ultimately determines its maximum efficiency. The paper concerns with the determining of the bank branch location in terms of thorough mathematical calculation and many factors influencing bank activity. We developed a special calculation method using the DEA (Data Envelope Analysis) methodology, considering financial, branch location, location features, etc. The paper dwells on the issue of one large branch effectiveness comparing to several smaller branches covering a wider consumer area on the example of the branch on A. Sharifzade street, Baku, Azerbaijan. Indeed, it is important to consider the location in terms of its geolocation and landscape. However, one of the main issues is expediency of establishing one large or several small branches in densely populated areas. Moreover, it is necessary to take into account the infrastructure to improve the bank performance. To consider this issue, we use both hypothetical and statistical data of Capital Bank. It is one of the largest banks in Azerbaijan. Also it has a large network of branches. The article examines expediency of establishing one large or several small branches in the area close to the existing branch of Capital Bank on A. Sharifzade street. The efficiency of the current operating branch was compared with the total efficiency of virtual branches in several combinations. We analysed the indicators of the Inshaatchylar branch and virtual branches in different combinations in different locations in accordance with DEA CRS (Constant Return to Scale) method. Additionally, we determined the effectiveness of both the Inshaatchylar branch and virtual branches in various combinations. Thus, the highest score is the most effective one.</p>
