Managing Size and Complexity: The Challenge Becomes Acute!

Chapter 7 in Excellence in Banking — Revisited!, 2004, pp 75-83 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The bank merger wave of the past decade has created global giants which dwarf in size and complexity their peers of the 1980s. Figure 7.1 provides a comparison of the physical size of the three excellent banks present in our sample between 1983 and 2003. For all three, financial assets and number of employees are a substantial multiple of the 1983 level. From a management standpoint, it is the four-to five-fold increase in staffing which is particularly challenging.
