A "Must Read"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is an extremely valuable reference not onlyfor bank directors but also for anyone in banking. It becomes even more valuable at a time when we are reeling from the effects of a global financial crisis.
Great starting off point for new bank board members
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Benton Gup gives a very thorough overview of the role of a bank board member and the importance of understanding the major elements that make up a modern financial institution. It is important to note that this is a starter book; if you are currently a bank board member, or contemplating becoming one, you should understand that this book will spur you to further study on major subjects in other books and formats.
Insightful review - by Jameson Thottam
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I purchased this book as a good primer for entering banking (specifically IndyMac Bank). When I joined retail banking (previously only having worked in Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley) I was able to expand my knowledge on various areas of the retail banking beyond just what I-Banking had taught (e.g.,, valuation, SEC II & SEC III stat techniques, tax implications and flippying and insider trading tips of how to find/negotiate the best properties). I would highly recommend this book to others in this field. - Jameson Thottam
Excellent guide to understanding the basics of the industry

One of the best summaries of the main marketing and economic forces shaping banks: how banks can find competitive advantage, price products, measure their performance, segment their markets, create barriers to imitation, manage risk. For NON-banking professionals (lawyers, consultants, PR execs, etc.) who need a quick intro to the banking profession.
