Bullish on Uncertainty provides rare insight into the secretive
world of Wall Street high finance, which has shaped influential
business, governmental, and cultural leaders and keeps supplying
new business practices to other organizations in dynamic and
complex environments. The book studies how two highly successful
Wall Street investment banks managed the uncertainty of their
high-velocity environment through different work practices. One
bank chose the familiar route of decreasing bankers' uncertainty.
The other bank used the novel and effective practice of increasing
bankers' uncertainty to make them more alert to new situations and
more likely to draw on the bank's entire range of resources. The
book explains why the two banks differed in their ability to notice
market changes and adapt to them. It thereby illuminates current
events in the financial markets. Through vivid accounts of
newcomers during their first two years, the book traces how the two
banks' initially similar participants were transformed into
fundamentally different kinds of persons by the different kinds of
work practices in which they participated.
