Commercial banking in the United States today is on shakier ground than at any time since the Great Depression. Increased competition, deregulation, globalization, and a rising tide of bad loans have all cast doubt on how - or even whether - banks as we know them will survive through the 1990s and beyond. How did this happen? Are we looking at another S&amp;L-like debacle, or worse? What's the remedy? In these uncertain times, it's important to understand how the banking industry arrived at this point, what's being done about it, and what can be done. The Future of American Banking lends the clear perspective you need to make sense of it all. It is a story of rapid and surprising changes, illustrated through revealing profiles of four banking heavyweights with decidedly different approaches: Citicorp, Chase, Morgan, and Bankers Trust. It is also an inside look at the strategic and organizational problems these banks - and all U.S. banks - are currently facing, as well as a provocative glimpse at what the future holds. And it's straight from the people in the know: The book is based on more than 350 exclusive interviews with senior bank officials, Wall Street bank analysts, management consultants, Congressional committee staff members, executive search professionals, regulators, and top financial journalists. With one eye on the many external factors that have shaped the contemporary banking industry, and the other on ample evidence of management missteps within the four banks themselves, David Rogers brings these key questions into sharp focus: Who have been the winners and losers among these and other U.S. commercial banks, and how might it have been different? Which strategies have paid off ... which have failed abysmally ... and which are likely to work in the future? How has each bank's particular culture, leadership, and history influenced where it is today? What larger lessons may other banks that are currently facing similar competitive pressures learn? What are the implications of these four banks' experiences for the banking industry as a whole, as it struggles to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century? Rather than just another commentary on an ailing industry, the Future of American Banking offers you an in-depth view of the nature and causes of the predicaments banking faces today. In spotlighting both the triumphs and failures of the past - and the rapid-fire developments of the present - this lively and thought-provoking book is a must-read for anyone interested in what might happen in the future.

The Future of American Banking: Managing for Change

Business & Money

Economics

McGraw=Hill

Today, every business is talking about digital transformation. With the acceleration of new technologies, every organization knows it must adapt to survive. But by their own admission, 70 percent of businesses are failing to transform. Across industries, established companies are held back by bureaucracy, inertia, and old ways of working. How can businesses break through to drive real change? The Digital Transformation Roadmap provides every leader with the answer. Acclaimed author and C-suite advisor David L. Rogers argues that businesses must transform not just products and business models-they must transform the organization itself. Based on two decades of research and advising companies around the world, Rogers identifies the five biggest barriers to digital transformation: vision, priorities, experimentation, governance, and capabilities. He then shows how any business can evolve by heeding the lessons of companies such as Disney, Walmart, Mastercard, Air Liquide, and the New York Times Company. The Digital Transformation Roadmap provides a practical blueprint for organizational change, illustrated with real-world case studies and step-by-step planning tools. Rogers shows every leader how to think beyond the churn of new technologies and rebuild their organization for a world of constant change.

Management & Leadership

Columbia Business School Publishing

This book examines the political dynamics of the governance overhaul and how the management styles of Mayor Bloomberg and School Chancellor Klein affect its design and implementation in the Mayor’s first term. The trend toward mayoral governance is happening in other large cities, stimulated in part by business leaders, mayors, and states concerned about how the schools contribute to declining global competitiveness and chronic social and economic problems of inner cities.

"The sting": A full length play

Dramatic Pub. Co.

David Rogers uses competing sociological models of "mass society" to analyze the New York City school system, which he describes as a "sick bureaucracy." In his new prologue, the author discusses the divisive school decentralization crisis of the late 1960s and early 1970s as well as efforts by subsequent mayors to reform the system, including recent changes implemented by the Bloomberg administration. Originally published by Random House in 1968.
