Professor Koch's book is excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in banking. The book is great to read if you don't know much about the industry or if you are an expert. I studied with Professor Koch at USC at the undergrad level and decided to go into banking thanks to his class and book. The book covers liquidity management, credit management, capital management, asset and liability management (focus on interest rate risk management), balance sheet analysis and other interestig topics. I've worked in several areas of commercial banks in Ecuador, namely credit, treasury, asset and liability management and finance. The book has always come in handy. I've also used it to teach at the University level down here.
It is especially interesting how every chapter is related in some way to the ALCO (Asset and Liability Management Commitee).
The cases are also very interesting. In Ecuador we recently had a liquidity crunch in the banking system. I was very much surprised to find an anylisis of a case very similar to what was happening down here in the book. The case was on the Contintental Illinois bank failure.
In other words, I think this book is a must for anyone interested in the industry.
A "Must Read" for Anyone in Banking & Finance. Outstanding! August 31, 1999

I've been in banking education for almost 18 years and a vast library of texts have crossed my desk. This fourth edition of Bank Management is vastly superior to anything I've seen to date. Will become an industry standard or should. Comprehensive, but not tedious. Well researched. Information rich. Authors Koch and MacDonald--who obviously are at the top of their game--have made it understandable to expert and novice alike. I found the "Contemporary Issues" sidebars in each chapter especially fascinating and instructive. This is one book that will be feathered with post-it notes--to mark the pages that you want to return to time and again.

I am an investment adviser seeking comprehensive texts on various industries. I am only on Chapter 3 but so far this book is a great read. I am learning a lot about banking regulation and how to analyze banks. If anyone has any suggestions for similar authoritative books covering such industries as insurance, real estate, or banking, please write to me at erichplace@yahoo.com
