About this product
Product Information
Praise for FINANCIAL DARWINISM "The best business management tool is common sense. While such a timeless truth remains indispensable, it takes new thinking to navigate the astonishingly complex and rapidly changing world of finance. Over the years, I have personally witnessed leading organizations' reliance on Leo Tilman's advice and insights to deliver consistent profits and manage risk. I hope the readers of this smart, original, and practical book will benefit in kind." Alan C. "Ace" Greenberg, Vice Chairman Emeritus, J.P. Morgan "Responding to earnings pressures with outdated concepts and tools or, worse yet, blind risk-taking has an unhappy ending in every case. Get your organization's costs under control and staff it with highly competent professionals. Then use Financial Darwinism to prosper in the world of globalization and deregulation." Jamie B. Stewart Jr., President and CEO, The Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation Past Acting President and COO, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York "A masterful treatise on piloting complex financial institutions through the newer and tougher challenges imposed on them by the evolving marketplace. Tilman presents a unified conceptual framework that not only resonates with one's intuition, but also offers specific structural approaches to the decisions made by financial executives. This book is a must for anyone interested in improved strategies for risk management and economic performance." Dr. Darrell Duffie, Dean Witter Distinguished Professor of Finance, The Graduate School of Business, Stanford University "Tilman has distilled the larger pattern from the seemingly endless reorganizations of financial institutions, some strategic and others quite foolish. Financial Darwinism articulates a framework for understanding and, for financial executives and practitioners, initiating strategic choices." Dr. Bennett W. Golub, Vice Chairman, BlackRock, Inc. " Financial Darwinism explains the tectonic shifts now underway in the investment world far better than any book I have seen to date. Those who are interested in really understanding how financial markets have dramatically changed in the past few years and how they are likely to change again in the next few years would do well to read and absorb this important work by Leo Tilman." David M. Rubenstein, Cofounder and Managing Director, The Carlyle Group

Reviews
"This book is highly recommended for finance professionals at all levels of an organization as well as investors..." ( Journal of Corporate Accounting & Finance ) "...Tilman couldn't have chosen a better time...clearly written and with plenty of rational advice for financial institutions" ( City A.M. , December 11th 2008) "One of the book's merits is that he offers tables that provide taxonomies of business model transformation." ( Financial World , February 2009), "As the world places increasing emphasis on fair valuation, risk-based financial disclosure and risk-focused regulation, Tilman's guide becomes more important for CEOs, directors and fiduciaries who must build risk evaluation into all fundamental decisions." ( Corporate Governance ) "While Tilman's thesis is directed to financial firms, the concept applies to all businesses. Failure to adopt a risk management strategic planning model will lead to extinction, hence the "Darwinism" in the title. Summing Up: Recommended." ( Choice , April 2009) "...Tilman couldn't have chosen a better time...clearly written and with plenty of rational advice for financial institutions" ( City A.M. , December 11th 2008) "One of the book's merits is that he offers tables that provide taxonomies of business model transformation." (Financial World , February 2009) "This book is highly recommended for finance professional sat all levels of an organization as well as investors desiring insights into how firms can weather the "tectonic shift" in the financial landscape. The terminology and models used should be within the grasp of anyone who has taken an undergraduate course in finance." ( Journal of Corporate Finance and Accounting ) "[Tilman] sees much to be learned from the collective blindness that led to the economic meltdown. ... says the first steps to recovery are humility and innovation" ( Alpha magazine ) "This book offers a deeply thoughtful and well-reasoned analysis of what has gone wrong and the outlines of an eventual road to recovery." ( Financial Executive International ), "...Tilman couldn't have chosen a better time...clearly written and with plenty of rational advice for financial institutions" (City A.M., December 11th 2008)

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

WONDERFUL book! Better than described, in just like new condition [not just good]. Packaged very carefully, shipped very securely. Great seller, would buy from again in a heartbeat! No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
