Features: The global banking industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. The strategic focus of banking institutions has shifted from pursuing mere growth and scale to placing greater emphasis on profitability, performance, and "value creation." Today's banking professionals need a comprehensive microeconomic theory of banking to formulate and implement important management decisions. This book focuses on constructing a theoretical framework for banking operations, predicting the future prospects of the banking industry in the new century through new case analyses of actual banking operations. Unlike other books in this field, this one emphasizes microeconomic issues in banking, including banking competition, banking structure, banking performance, operational risk, and banking regulation. The book covers topics such as modern banking institutions, international banking, global banking structure, banking risk management, the determinants of bank failures, and banking strategic issues.
