Preferred means of communication is via email. Students can expect a response within 12 to 24 hours. Students are welcome to email the professor at any time. COURSE DESCRIPTION The course is designed to help a student interested in understanding the strategic issues facing the financial services and banking industries, which is undergoing rapid change (e.g., a student interested in management consulting or professional services who wants a framework to analyze a changing industry); a student working in or interested in working in financial services (e.g. a student who wants a broader understanding of the various divisions and departments of a bank and why and how they interrelate); or a student interested in learning more about the financial system (e.g. a student who sees the importance of understanding a bank because he/she is interested in the strategic and financial aspects of a corporation that may have to interact with or rely on a bank for services). Each class session focuses on one critical strategic issue facing a global bank. In general, the teacher or a guest speaker will lead case discussions. The class topics/strategic issues often vary depending on the students’ interests and current events. Each year the students have different and a wide-range of experiences. The class is taught at a common denominator to accommodate the most students possible, especially at the beginning. The professor has worked in various departments and geographies for banks, was a senior advisor to a management consulting firm and invests in fin-tech and financial services companies. COURSE OBJECTIVES Students will learn how to design and implement a coherent strategy to address a critical strategic issue facing a bank through lectures, discussions, current events and case analyses. You will learn to state 1. the strategic issue, 2. the reasons and facts to support why the strategic issue exists and is important, 3. your recommendation, 4. the facts to support your recommendation and 5. the potential resources required and consequences. Students will learn how to more effectively contribute to their firms and understand complex challenges facing senior management. There is an emphasis on asking and answering questions, as well as synthesizing information and recommendations in a format that busy senior executives would prefer.
