Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - How the King of Beers collapsed without a fight and what it means for America's place in the post-Recession world How did InBev, a Belgian company controlled by Brazilians, take over one of America's most beloved brands with scarcely a whimper of opposition Chalk it up to perfect timing-and some unexpected help from powerful members of the Busch dynasty, the very family that had run the company for more than a century. In Dethroning the King, Julie MacIntosh, the award-winning financial journalist who led coverage of the takeover for the Financial Times, details how the drama that unfolded at Anheuser-Busch in 2008 went largely unreported as the world tumbled into a global economic crisis second only to the Great Depression. Today, as the dust settles, questions are being asked about how the 'King of Beers' was so easily captured by a foreign corporation, and whether the company's fall mirrors America's dwindling financial and political dominance as a nation. Discusses how the takeover of Anheuser-Busch will be seen as a defining moment in U.S. business history Reveals the critical missteps taken by the Busch family and the Anheuser-Busch board Argues that Anheuser-Busch had a chance to save itself from InBev's clutches, but infighting and dysfunctionality behind the scenes forced it to capitulate From America's heartland to the European continent to Brazil, Dethroning the King is the ultimate corporate caper and a fascinating case study that's both wide reaching and profound.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The inside story of what really happened at Lehman Brothers and why it failed In The Devil's Casino: Friendship, Betrayal, and the High Stakes Games Played Inside Lehman Brothers, investigative writer and Vanity Fair contributing editor Vicky Ward takes readers inside Lehman's highly charged offices. What Ward uncovers is a much bigger story than Lehman losing at the risky game of collateralized debt obligations, swaps, and leverage. A can't put it down page turner that opens the world of Wall Street to view unlike any book since Bonfire of the Vanities, except that The Devil's Casino isn't fiction. Details what went on behind-the-scenes the weekend Lehman Brothers failed, as well as inside Lehman during the twenty years preceding it Describes the feudal culture that proved both Lehman's strength and its Achilles' heel Written by Vicky Ward, one of today's most connected business and finance writers On Wall Street, Lehman Brothers was cheekily known as 'the cat with nine lives.' But as The Devil's Casino documents, this cat pushed its luck too far and died the victim of men and women blinded by arrogance.; Das Scheitern von Lehman Brothers und die Entscheidung, die altehrwürdige Investmentbank untergehen zu lassen, wird Jahrzehnte für Diskussionsstoff sorgen. Während die meisten Analysten, Experten und Investoren sich auf ungesicherte Hypothekenkredite, faule Sicherheiten und Abfindungen und Boni für die Managementebene fokussierten, konzentrierten sich einige wenige Blicke auf den berüchtigten Vorstandsvorsitzenden bei Lehman, Dick Fuld. Denn es gibt eine größere Geschichte, die in den Blickpunkt geraten wird, sobald sich der Tumult legt, und diese Geschichte heißt: Warum wurde Lehman gestattet zu scheitern und wer genau setzte sich für den Niedergang ein Welche Beweggründe gab es Wussten die in den Untergang Lehmans verstrickten Akteure, was sie taten, und um die Konsequenzen Oder opferten sie lieber die Bank, um so selbst ungeschoren davonzukommen mit katastrophalen Folgen. Nur Vicky Ward, eine Insiderin unter den Journalisten, Autorin für Vanity Fair und Kolumnistin beim Evening Standard, hat Zugang zu den Schlüsselfiguren und das notwendige Verständnis für die Finanzwelt, um enthüllen zu können, was genau am Wochenende des 14. September geschah und zu welch schrecklichen Konsequenzen dies führte. Es ging nicht so sehr darum, dass die Anteilseigner ausradiert wurden oder sogar die Fremdkapitalgeber , sondern es ging um die aufbrausende Schockwirkung, als sich zahllose Kunden und Geschäftspartner um ihr Geld betrogen sahen, und um eine Entwicklung, die zu dem anschließenden Chaos führte, unter dem die Welt noch heute leidet. Wie konnte dies geschehen, während die Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, AIG, Fannie Mae und Freddie Mac, um nur einige zu nennen, gerettet wurden Warum wurde IndyMac geschützt und WaMu in die Arme von Chase getrieben, Lehman aber erlaubt, in den Ruin zu gehen Vicky Ward zeigt dies den Lesern in der dünnen Luft der Wall Street, wo selbst die Top-Vorstände nach Luft schnappen, in einer Welt höchster Einsätze, in der es um das finanzielle Überleben geht. Von Hochzeitsfeiern bis hin zu Konferenzen, auf denen die Hauptfiguren, von denen man annahm, sie seien dort, nicht erschienen - Vicky Ward enthüllt, was an jenem schicksalhaften Wochenende und in den der Finanzkrise vorangegangenen wirklich geschah. Sie demaskiert die tatsächlichen Schlüsselfiguren und legt ihre Beweggründe offen. Sie stellt eine Welt dar, in der die sogenannten bad guys letztlich gar nicht so übel erscheinen, und die weißen Ritter nicht so makellos sind, wie wir dachten.…
