The collapse of Barings' Bank was a commercial catastrophe that
resonated worldwide, showing what kind of secrets can lie behind an
apparently successful organization. Following Nick Leeson's arrest
and subsequent conviction for fraud, investment banks anxiously
reviewed their risk management controls to make sure that it could
never happen again. Helga Drummond's exploration is conducted
against a backdrop of social and psychological theories of decision
error that seeks to go beyond media style accusations of greed and
incompetence. She challenges the myth that Barings 'must have
known' that mischief was afoot. The book offers lessons for all
organizations as it shows how easily managers can end up living in
a world of fantasy believing that everything is under control when
the precise opposite may be true. It is not risk and uncertainty
that should worry organizations, concludes Drummond, but what they
are most sure of. The collapse of Barings Bank had international
ramifications, and this scholarly analysis will have an
international audience as a result. The book will be of great
interest to all those interested in social psychology, the
application of psychology in management theory, sociology, and
organizational behaviour. It is also suitable as recommended
reading for a management or organization behaviour course.
