The Big Four British Banks: Organisation, Strategy and the Future de David Rogers

The Big Four British Banks: Organisation, Strategy and the Future

Autor David Rogers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 dec 1999
This book is a cutting-edge exploration of the UK commercial banking industry, as reflected primarily in the experience of the four main clearing banks: Barclays, Lloyds, Midland and NatWest. What will the industry look like in the future? What strategies, cultures and organisational forms will distinguish the survivors from the non-survivors? Will the dominant form be the highly diversified, global, financial supermarket, the so-called universal bank, the more focused niche player, both, or some other type? To answer these questions, David Rogers draws upon very high level access to the leading players in this evolving industry.

Recenzii

'David Rogers has brought the problems of the major British banks, particularly in their attempt to become major universal banks over the past twenty years, to life in a unique fashion. In particular he has illuminated the part played by organizational processes, clashes of culture and the leading individual players themselves.' - Harold Rose, Emeritus Professor of Finance, London Business School
'An insightful study with serious implications for US as well as UK banking.' - Raphael Soifer, Banking Analyst
'At a time when many financial institutions are rushing headlong into ever more consolidations, Rogers' cautionary tale merits widespread attention.' - Professor Richard Sylla, Stern School of Business, New York University
'This book makes a powerful contribution and is compelling reading for anyone interested in understanding how banks respond to competitive and other pressures.' - Professor David T. Llewellyn, Loughborough University
'David Rogersis the looker-on who sees most of the game, and understands big banks in the USA and UK better than most of them understand themselves. He shows what clear direction and strong leadership can do for them, and what happens when muddle sets in at the top and spreads downwards.' - Christopher Fildes, Financial Columnist for The Daily Telegraph and The Spectator
'...a fascinating book about the major commercial banks in the UK and how their world has changed and continues to change.' - D.E. Bond, Choice
'Compelling reading for anyone who wants to understand how we have arrived where we now are and where we are likely to go from here. The author has drawn upon high level access to the major players and he displays an enviable capacity to see the wood through the trees.' - Chartered Institute of Bankers News
'Rogers is an organisational sociologist, not an economist, and the book is based on some 200 interviews with both bankers and observers. This approach has greatstrengths. Non-specialist readers will gain an insight into the quite marked differences in culture and institutional history between the outwardly similar Barclays, Lloyds, Midland, and Natwest. They will learn of the mistakes made by the individuals and institutions concerned, but also of their successes, and gain some understanding of the difficulties they have faced...Anyone who wants to get a feel for what it has been like to be involved in British banking in the past few decades will get a lot from this book.' - Sir Kit McMahon, The Spectator
