"Modern Banking" is a sequel to the highly successful "Modern
Banking in Theory and Practice," first published in 1996. Over the
last decade many aspects of banking have changed considerably,
though the key features that distinguish banks from other financial
institutions remain. Some might question the need for a book on
banking rather than one on financial institutions - while banks
remain special and unique to the financial sector, books need to be
devoted to them.
"Modern Banking" focuses on the theory and practice of banking,
and its prospects in the new millennium. The book is written for
courses in banking and finance at Masters/MBA level, or
undergraduate degrees specialising in this area. Bank practitioners
wishing to deepen and broaden their understanding of banking issues
may also be attracted to this book. While they often have
exceptional and detailed knowledge of the areas they have worked
in, busy bankers may be all too unaware of the key broader issues.
Consider the fundamental questions: "What is unique about a bank?"
and "What differentiates it from other financial institutions?"
Answering these questions begins to show how banks should evolve
and adapt - or fail. If bankers know the underlying reasons for
"why" profitable banks exist, it will help them to devise
strategies for sustained growth.
"Modern Banking" concludes with a set of case studies that give
practical insight into the key issues covered in the book: The core
banking functions Different types of banks and diversification of
bank activities Risk management: issues and techniques Global
regulation: Basel 1 and Basel 2. Bank regulation in the UK, US, EU,
and Japan Banking in emerging markets Bankfailure and financial
crises Competitive issues, from cost efficiency to mergers and
acquisitions Case Studies including: Goldman Sachs, Bankers
Trust/Deutsche Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui, Bancomer
