Editorial : 'A much needed process study on which bank mergers world-wide have succeeded, which ones have failed, and why. Drawing on in-depth interviews, articles, and his wealth of experience as a banker and consultant, Steven Davis provides a rich analysis of the complexities of implementation. He concludes with many lessons on what to do and what not to do that should help future bankers engaged in mergers from making many of the mistakes of their predecessors. That would, indeed, be a welcome development in this industry.' - David Rogers, Professor and Chairman, Management Department, Leonard N.Stern School of Business, New York University
'At a time of enormous change in the banking industry, Steve Davis' comments on both the advantages and pitfalls involved in the current merger mania are well timed. Without being unduly negative, he points out that very few mergers are viewed favourably in the market and gives useful comments on a number of mergers that have occurred. The overall
Despite the wall of evidence that bank mergers add little or no value, investors and management continue to fuel the consolidation wave. This book draws on the actual experience of senior executives in over 30 banks with extensive merger experience to demonstrate how most mergers do in fact fail to meet objectives.

It concludes that experienced and determined leadership, significant net cost savings, swift decision-making and the cost of IT integration are key variables for success. It also suggests that the prospect of more cross-border mergers and modest short-term cost savings argues for a new pact between investors and bank management.

First Family (about the legacies our families provide), Creed (about the Church), The Love of God (aboutthe love of God), Boy Like Me/Man Like You (about trusting Jesus), Calling Out Your Name (about God and the beauty of creation), Bound To Come Some Trouble (about the growth found in struggle and pain), My One Thing (about the freedom of the simple life), Growing Young (about sin and temptation), Brother's Keeper (about showing love through our actions), and That Where I Am There You May Also Be (about death).
Each of these chapters taught me some great lessons. I managed to lose 4 pounds over the entire year. They gave a lot of information as to the whys which was very informative. It got all the necessary tips and st
