Sinopsis Buku Commercial Banking (fourth edition)
This book is about the business of commercial banking and that business has undergone rapid change in recent years as banks have confronted volatile economic conditions and revised regulations. Banks are seeking profits and accessing funding sources in ways new to them.
At the same time, nonbank competition in traditional banking activities has increased dramatically. This revision of Commercial Banking attempts to depict the new environment in which bank management must operate.
There is a danger, however, that writers of textbooks on banks will focus too extensively on the new elements in banking, forgetting that most of what banks do is what they have done for many years: accept deposits and make loans and investments. New methods may have some influence on how these activities are carried out, but the basic business is un- changed.
Nor has the importance of commercial banks diminished because of changes in the environment. Commercial banks make funds available to meet the needs of individuals, businesses, and governments. In so doing, they facilitate the flow of goods and services and the activities of governments. The commercial banking system provides a large portion of our medium of exchange and is the primary instrument through which mone- tary policy is conducted.
The ability of our commercial banking system to perform its tasks efficiently and in harmony with our needs and economic goals depends in large measure on effective management Banks must be managed prug dently, safely, and profitably if we are to have a strong, adaptable banking system capable of meeting the needs of society.
This book reviews the management aspects of commercial banks has been written with the objective of als with a description and analysis of the operations of commercial ban by providing students and profession.
It is an investigation into the technique and principles employedugh commercial banks in the performance of their many functions. Although the focus is on management and the individual bank, the book doestem lose sight of the social and monetary importance of the banking sysbank
Lending is the major business of commercial banks, and more bank personnel are involved in the lending activity than in any other. In recog nition of its importance, we devote seven of the nineteen chaptersge lending. In addition, the text covers structure, organization and manserment, deposits, cash and liquidity management, investments, trustas of vices, and international banking.
Two chapters are devoted to two areas of vital importance, profitability and bank capital. Because of the quasi- public nature of banking, we consider each of these topics in light of the laws and regulations under which banks operate.
We are indebted to many people, both practitioners and academicians. We are particularly grateful to Richard V. Cotter and Richard K. Smith. Information and suggestions have been provided by so many peo- ple that we are reluctant to attempt to list all of them, but to each one we owe a debt of gratitude.
