Rezensionen

"Robert Grosse shows that, despite the internet, most financial
services are still delivered locally; indeed the world's largest
international financial institutions (such as Allianz and Merrill
Lynch) are leaders in their home markets but are not true global
leaders. He also shows that, in retail banking, the performance of
commercial banks is strongly determined by the growth of their home
markets." Alan Rugman, Indiana University

"In this important book Robert Grosse shows that, despite the
internet, there are few globally active financial institutions and
that there are no truly global competitors. Most financial services
are still delivered locally: as a notable example, in retail
banking the performance of commercial banks is stongly determined
by the growth of their home markets. The future of financial
services will be local rather than global." Alan Rugman, Kelley
School of Business
