First sentence: The world of investment banking has long exerted a fascination for academics, management consultants, and financial analysts as well as practitioners.
Description: "The management of investment banks across the world faces a host of issues: how to adjust costs to a volatile revenue base; how to compete with the US leaders who have developed highly successful business and operating models; how to manage a variety of risks; how to attract and lead a unique team of professionals; and how to align the interests of professionals with outside stockholders." "The book profiles the three most respected banks selected on the basis of a straw poll, as well as other success stories outside the global leadership group. It concludes with a summary of the future outlook for the business as seen by the interview sample and the author's own conclusions based on six months of research."--Jacket.
