Rezensionen

"Banking books focusing on strategic analyses often skip discussing the conventional banking sector; books discussing the conventional banking sector are lacking of strategic analyses. This book is unique because it integrates the two."--Chung-Hua Shen, National Taiwan University

"A useful reference chockfull of definitions, descriptions, quick explanations and useful lists of topics and issues related to the regulations, risks, products and markets of banks and other financial intermediaries. Plus, there are nice real-world actual cases and examples in boxes throughout."--Michael Goldstein, Babson College
