Book:
BANK MANAGEMENT
TIMOTHY W. KOCH
S. SCOTT MACDONALD
FIFTH EDITION
The book focuses on decision making and offers a unique approach to understanding bank management. Key chapters address the specific aspects of an issue or problem, how a financial model or decision framework applies, and then demonstrate the application of the model or framework using sample data. The reader not only observes how certain factors influence credit, investment, funding, and pricing decisions, but also develops an appreciation of the trade-offs between return and risk. Several Microsoft Excel templates, which include various models and applications using sample data, are available to users. A wide range of cases related to bank performance evaluation, making new loans, managing the investment portfolio, asset and liability management, and liquidity management are available via the Internet. These cases, end-of-chapter questions, and problems provide an opportunity to test the reader’s understanding of important issues and data analysis.
Upon completion of reading Bank Management, the reader should have a solid foundation in the key issues confronting managers today, a familiarization with the basic financial models that are used to formulate decisions, and an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of data analysis. The text and numerous applications help the reader to recognize the trade-offs involved in making financial decisions and to develop the logical thought processes needed to reach reasonable conclusions.
Bank Management is designed for use in upper division undergraduate or master’s level banking and financial institutions courses at universities as well as professional banking programs. As prerequisites, students should be familiar with elementary accounting, basic interest rate and bond pricing concepts, and basic macroeconomics. The book is also well suited for broad-based instructional purposes in bank training programs. For someone new to banking, the book describes the range of banking activities and demonstrates how bank managers make financial decisions. For practitioners, it explains how decisions in one area affect performance and opportunities in other areas. As such, it provides a comprehensive view of managing the entire bank with an emphasis on the trade-offs between profitability and risk.
