Features: "Global Banking" is a book that can bring significant benefits to a wide range of readers. It is particularly valuable and hard-to-find for university teaching. In the U.S. MBA programs and some university courses, such as International Financial Markets, World Banking, and International Investment, we use this book as a reference textbook. Additionally, full-time MBA students and university students will also find this book valuable. At the end, I would like to add that this book is equally unmatched for friends working in the banking industry and financial markets worldwide, as it can greatly enhance your professional and theoretical expertise.—Professor Gerardo Vasconcellos, Department of Finance and Economics, Lehigh University; Professor Arthur F. Schling, U.S.
This book is a comprehensive reading on banking, conducting a detailed and in-depth study of the complex banking and capital market environment today. It includes: the evolution of international banking and finance, the services provided by banks and the financial industry in today's global markets, the competitive processes involved, and the impact of these factors on current public policy issues. Given that institutional asset management is set to become the fastest-growing and largest sector in the global financial industry, and cross-border transaction volumes will surge, today's global financial institutions must reevaluate their fundamental business strategies. The business environment will force them to redefine their global competitive strategies to leverage strengths and mitigate weaknesses. To succeed in the new environment, companies must strive to adapt. This book aims to elaborate on how strategic decisions can be made in this changing environment and how businesses can reposition themselves to adapt to the new financial landscape. It is believed that these studies will bring many new insights to the domestic banking industry.
