As economic growth in Western countries shows signs of fatigue, companies are battling hard to discover how to generate and sustain corporate growth. The restructuring and reengineering processes of the early 1990s, and the massive lay-offs they brought about, have only given an additional boost to the need for expansion. Corporate efficiency is indispensable, but is not a sufficient condition for corporate survival. Firms need to think about their future growth.

In the wake of the drastic changes that have occurred in the world banking industry over the past two decades, Professor Canals's new book addresses several important questions: are universal banks bound to disappear? What is the role of universal banks and financial markets in the context of deregulation and disintermediation? What should banks' strategic reactions be to changes in the industry such as diversification, internationalization, and restructuring? And what role do banks play vis à vis modern financial markets? Canals draws on up-to-date case studies from Europe, Japan, and the US to provide a provocative reassessment of universal banking.

Profound changes have recently taken place in the role of banking in developed countries and further important structural developments will follow. This study of European banking integrates both the changing structure of the commercial banking industry in Europe and the strategic implications of these changes. The book concentrates on the economics of banking, presenting an analysis of the principal environmental forces affecting the financial sector: deregulation, internationalization, economic instability, technological change, and financial innovation. It then offers valuable information on current trends in five members of the EC. The analysis includes a study of the recent evolution of each country's financial sector, each sector's economic outlook, as well as the changes in the regulatory environment. The book also discusses some strategic choices of European banks--scale, diversification, and internationalization.
