  • Alliances and mergers
  • Business intelligence
  • Risk management
  • Quick responses
Driving strategic change in financial services outlines the important trends and political decisions which have transformed the financial services industry. It examines how organizations are responding to the new industry models by implementing new strategies, new structures and new management systems.
