Global Banking Strategy

This up-to-date survey reveals the dynamics of the international banking community, incorporating information on the crash of '87, the Big Bang in London, and the internationalization of the yen. Addresses the massive debt incurred by developing nations, deregulation and securitization, and the changing role of the banking industry from its traditional intermediation role to that of a dealing orientation. Strategies of leading commercial banks, investment banks, and brokerage houses are charted, as they diversify their tactics and products for an increasingly international market. The author presents a macro view of global banking, and provides a number of non-mutually exclusive generic strategies, all supported by examples and cases.
