Does Size Matter? The Quest for Transnational Banks

Chapter 4 in The Nigerian Banking Sector Reforms, 2012, pp 56-70 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Much of the argument for the banking consolidation in Nigeria in 2005 was the quest for size or scale. Size is often correlated with three things: the performance or internal efficiency of an organism, living or corporate; the behaviour of that organism in response to its environment; and the potential effect the size of an individual agent may have on the behaviour of other agents and, ultimately therefore, on the structure of its environment or industry.
