Riassunto

Noting that banks operate in the financial services industry, rather than the more narrowly defined banking industry, this textbook is aimed at business students who wish to join the industry and maximize shareholder value. Because of the declining franchise value of the traditional business of funding loans with deposits, the text emphasizes other ways to maximize profits, including the development of tools for the management of risk, including off balance sheet techniques. After a section that overviews the broad contours of the financial service industry, chapters address bank financial statements, risk, and valuation; strategic planning, risk management, asset-liability management, and capital adequacy; credit risk; the liquidity, operating, and foreign-exchange risk of banking and securitization; and the roles of regulation, deposit insurance, and ethics.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

This thoroughly revised text describes the theory and practice of commercial banking from a financial-management perspective. Focusing on the dynamic and rapidly changing financial-services industry, it explores modern financial management decision making and highlights the importance of adapting to change and creating value as the way for firms to succeed.

Major Enhancements to Commercial Bank Financial Management in the Financial-Services Industry include:

• New coverage of the latest changes in bank regulations, including the landmark Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.
• Updated coverage of technology in banking, which stresses the role of e-money and e-banking in facilitating e-commerce.
• New and improved TRICK framework that enables students to understand the process of financial innovation and the driving forces of change in the financial-services industry.
• End-of-chapter questions, problems, mini-cases, and projects that test student comprehension and challenge research, writing, and analytical skills.
