| banking domain knowledge for business analyst: Second Spring Sandhya Jane, 2015-01-11 This is Avantika’s heartfelt journey through love and life… As a smart, successful, thirty-eight-year-old, single mother Avantika seemingly has it all: a great career as a seasoned banking professional, respect and admiration from her peers as an able leader, fulfillment as a mother, and so many other things besides. What is it then that drives her towards Rohan, a man six years her junior? He’s a man who ideally would not occupy much room in Avantika’s otherwise sorted mind space. She has told herself she has no time for love. Then, why does she make the choices she makes? Is it the sameness and banality of everyday existence? Is it the emotional vacuum? A need to relive life? A feeling that life as she is truly lived and felt is passing her by? However, as she struggles with her feelings, Avantika and Rohan part ways… only to meet again. To what end? Why does Rohan want her back… and why now? So many questions! Very few answers! Avantika’s journey is as spiritual as it is emotional. Can love give second chances? Join Avantika in the twists and turns of her story, through her ponderings over the mysteries and vagaries of the word “love,” the complexities of human relationships, and the reassessment of all the values she has held dear… |

| banking domain knowledge for business analyst: Managing Nothing Sudhir Varadarajan, 2015-08-14 The Indian IT industry, which has grown at a phenomenal rate since 1991, today finds itself on the brink of a potentially painful transition to deliver more value and innovation. Managing Nothing throws new light on the challenge of innovation that has dogged the industry for over two decades. Drawing upon two decades of action research experience in two leading Indian IT firms, the author, through a narrative-reflexive inquiry, argues that the current crisis is not because leaders lacked foresight or business acumen. Instead, it is the limitation of mainstream managerial thought in dealing with the complexity of human interaction in global IT service networks that has reduced the pursuit of higher level capabilities such as consulting, service design and innovation to nothing. To help correct the situation, the book makes a startlingly obvious yet counter-intuitive suggestion: it exhorts managers and employees to pay attention to the small differences that emerge in ordinary day-to-day workplace interactions among people, i.e., the micro-politics of everyday work. |
| banking domain knowledge for business analyst: The Bank Analyst's Handbook Stephen M. Frost, 2005-09-27 It is not uncommon to meet professionals in financial services who have only a vague idea of what their colleagues actually do. The root cause is specialization and the subsequent development of jargon that makes communication between common specialists faster and more precise but is virtually impenetrable to everybody else. The Bank Analyst’s Handbook provides a modern introduction to financial markets and intermediation. Individual subject areas are covered in a thorough but clear and succinct manner. The breadth of the author’s experience as a sell-side bank analyst is exploited to good effect to pull together these threads and create a coherent framework for the analysis of financial markets, whether these are in advanced economies or developing markets. The Handbook is well-written and highly accessible. It builds on orthodox financial theory (with all of its flaws and controversies) but also highlights many of the real problems involved with translating such theory into practice. It can be appreciated at many different levels and this explains its wide target readership. The Bank Analyst’s Handbook: Bridges the gap between the more superficial introductory books and specialist works Covers all the important functions and subjects related to the financial services industry Provides a comprehensive overview for financial services professionals, business school students, consultants, accountants, auditors and legal practitioners, analysts and fund-managers and corporate managers. An excellent guide for any professionals who are coming into the banking industry. Extremely well-written, covering clearly and lucidly a range of topics which many bankers themselves don't understand. I will make this book mandatory reading - no, make that studying - for anybody I hire to work as a financial sector consultant. —Chris Matten, Executive Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers A great insight into the often murky and impenetrable world of banking... compulsory reading for analysts and investors alike. —Hugh Young, Managing Director, Aberdeen Asset Management Asia Ltd |

| banking domain knowledge for business analyst: The Quants Scott Patterson, 2011-01-25 With the immediacy of today’s NASDAQ close and the timeless power of a Greek tragedy, The Quants is at once a masterpiece of explanatory journalism, a gripping tale of ambition and hubris, and an ominous warning about Wall Street’s future. In March of 2006, four of the world’s richest men sipped champagne in an opulent New York hotel. They were preparing to compete in a poker tournament with million-dollar stakes, but those numbers meant nothing to them. They were accustomed to risking billions. On that night, these four men and their cohorts were the new kings of Wall Street. Muller, Griffin, Asness, and Weinstein were among the best and brightest of a new breed, the quants. Over the prior twenty years, this species of math whiz--technocrats who make billions not with gut calls or fundamental analysis but with formulas and high-speed computers--had usurped the testosterone-fueled, kill-or-be-killed risk-takers who’d long been the alpha males the world’s largest casino. The quants helped create a digitized money-trading machine that could shift billions around the globe with the click of a mouse. Few realized, though, that in creating this unprecedented machine, men like Muller, Griffin, Asness and Weinstein had sowed the seeds for history’s greatest financial disaster. Drawing on unprecedented access to these four number-crunching titans, The Quants tells the inside story of what they thought and felt in the days and weeks when they helplessly watched much of their net worth vaporize--and wondered just how their mind-bending formulas and genius-level IQ’s had led them so wrong, so fast. |

| banking domain knowledge for business analyst: Business Process of Banking Sunil Aggarwal, 2021-02-18 Preface: During the last two decades, banking in India has undergone a paradigm shift. From 'paper-based branch banking' it has morphed into 'Anywhere Anytime Banking'. Information Technology has played the key role. To manage these fast-paced disruptions, Regulations, Business Practices and Processes have been redefined, realigned and put in place afresh altogether. Large investments have been made in technology infrastructure for leveraging these opportunities created by the advent of IT in the Banking Sector. Comprehension of these developments has, however, not kept pace at the required level amongst various stakeholders. For example, bankers need better understanding of IT related issues. On the other hand, IT professionals require better domain knowledge about banking practices and processes. Similarly, students of banking need more inputs on practical aspects of banking than the theory. These gaps have increased operational risks for the banks as well as for the customers This book is an attempt to address this issue. The Book describes commonly followed Practices & Business Processes of banking in India. It does not cover subjects such as credit appraisal, processing of credit proposals, assessment of working capital requirements, management of different types of risks, agriculture credit, micro-banking, etc. The Book consists of three Volumes: Volume I Regulations, Operations, Digital Banking and IT infrastructure.Volume II Customer Acquisition, Deposits, Retail Loans, Credit Card, Third Party Product Services and Customer Service.Volume III Corporate Credit, Trade Finance, CMS, Foreign Exchange and Treasury. The book will be useful to all stakeholders - IT Professionals, Bankers, Students as well as Customers. Since it is focused on processes for doing business, IT Professionals will get required insight into the banking domain. Banking students will get to know about the practical aspects of banking. This will help them in becoming Job-ready. Bankers, in pursuit of horizontal extension of their knowledge, will find it of immense benefit as it provides concise overview of various verticals of banking.The narration is precise and straightforward, with suitable illustrations wherever necessary. While I have attempted to include up to date information, in the dynamic and fast-paced environment, it is quite possible that some changes may occur by the time the book reaches you. Future trends point out to more disruptions happening sooner than later. RBI has already introduced Regulatory Sandbox to hasten the process of innovation. It is therefore imperative that we all keep in close touch with the developments on an ongoing basis to keep ourselves updated periodically.About the Author: Sunil has over 36 years' experience in banking in the areas of Corporate Banking, Retail Banking, Core Banking System, Branch Management, Banking Operations & Processes, Operations Risk & Fraud Control, Rehabilitation & Recovery and Branch Expansion.
