- catalog abstract "In this fact-filled expose, banking expert Richard Miller takes you inside the carpeted corridors and glass-walled executive suites at Citicorp and brings alive the dynamic, hard-nosed personalities behind the rise and fall of the largest banking organization in the United States. Once ranked one of the world's most powerful financial institutions and among the largest in asset size, Citicorp is now not even in the top 25. Awash with mounting losses on its real estate loans, plagued by inadequate capital resources, and hampered by poor management, the organization is on a roller coaster ride heading downhill. Just how far will Citicorp continue to slide? And what is behind the turmoil at this banking powerhouse? Combining extensive research and in-depth interviews with current and former Citicorp officials, as well as knowledgeable outsiders, this insightful book traces the story of Citicorp's unstoppable growth from its beginnings in 1812 to its rapid decline under the high-tech - and increasingly suspect - stewardship of John Reed. It profiles the leaders who rose to meet the challenges of their time and continuously expand the frontiers of banking and finance. And it probes the development of the extraordinary "Citi" persona of ruthlessness and expansion, bent on growth at any cost. Throughout, Citicorp: The Story of a Bank in Crisis penetrates cryptic reports and public proclamations to present a stark, bottom-line account of the firm's current afflictions, and its struggles to get back into the game. You'll witness the managerial squabbles at the top, discover the costly failures to meet regulatory challenges, and follow the sometimes ineffective decision making that has forced the corporate giant to write off billions in bad loans. Filled with provocative lessons for banking professionals, financial executives, and business readers concerned about the plight of global banking, and the U.S. banking industry in particular, Citicorp: The Story of a Bank in Crisis is the unvarnished portrait of a major multinational player that has run roughshod over friend and foe alike for years, and now finds itself scrambling just to stay in the game.".
