Based on the CEO's cognition model concerned with decision making, and developed by Kimio Kase, this book explains the extraordinary development and performance of the Spanish banking industry during the last twenty years.
This book argues that the performance of Spanish banks is due to the construction of an excellent management model, the presence of clear-headed CEOs and like-minded executives. The authors place this remarkable banking phenomenon in an international perspective, and draw unique comparisons with other countries such as Japan.
This book offers food for thought about the replicability of the change process in other countries and other industries.
'This book provides a fascinating study on the incredible growth process of the top Spanish banks. It also sheds light on the transformational impact that their top leaders had on those banks. A very unique contribution' - Professor Jordi Canals, Dean, IESE Business School
'Kase and Jacopin offer fascinating insight into the remarkable and surprising emergence of Banco Santander and BBVA as leading global banks. Against a background of disappointing returns to international expansion by retail banks, Santander and BBVA have reconciled rapid asset growth, strong profitability, and excellent shareholder returns. The book offers valuable lessons in how banks can develop strategies that combine operational excellence and attentiveness to the bottom line with inventiveness in developing new business and effectively managing integration.' - Robert M. Grant, Professor Bocconi University, Milan, Italy
'This study of the impressive success of BBVA and Santander banks is more than a descriptive account. Fascinating story, though it is,the book extends more deeply to consider alternative models of bank management and more widely to incorporate comparisons with other strategies in Europe and beyond. The reader will learn much.' - Albert Fishlow, Professor of International Affairs and Director, Institute for Latin
American Studies,Columbia University, New York, USA
