    BUS 200 group project, semester 2, 20057 March 2011 business organisation and management (Photos: Entrance hall UBS headquarters in Basel, Aeschenvorstradt ; Counter hall UBS headquarters in Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse; UBS headquarters in Zurich, Bahnhofstrasse 45; UBS in Zurich, Paradeplatz) a glimpse of UBS Authors: Philipp Bircher 40808459 Meike Brünk 40594432 Valery Crottaz 40638626 Andreas Eiman 40811840 Anssi Ihaniemi 40794067 Executive summary As one of the leading wealth management companies in the world, a premier global invest- ment and asset management bank, UBS’ situation represents a good example of the chal- lenges an organization in the financial sector faces today. Beginning with a short outline of its historical roots, we try to shed light on UBS’ organizational culture. In this context it is cru- cial to understand that the values and norms within a company serve as guiding principles on a firm’s way to success. Thus, we analyse the values the organization promotes and discuss the implications this might have on its business. Many principles that are reflected in UBS’ organizational culture today have their roots in the bank’s constituting parts. Furthermore, the views on leadership and its emphasis on entrepreneurial thinking can only be fully understood if one takes into account the bank’s very diverse background which is a result of its history, its global business operations and its, in terms of culture and age, very heterogeneous work- force. Based on these facts and thoughts, we address the question of UBS’ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and summarize the organization’s situation in a SWOT Analysis. In terms of strengths, it turns out that the organization comes up with an efficient human re- source management, which focuses on satisfied employees, who are recognized by UBS as a key factor in the company’s success.

  • IC11-004 Trader E-News
    TRADER E-NEWS Information Circular IC11­004 January 18, 2011 EDMUND J. O’CONNOR, PIONEER IN LISTED OPTIONS AND A FOUNDER OF CBOE Edmund J. O’Connor, key architect of exchange‐listed security options and a founder of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) – died on January 17, 2011, at age 85 in Lake Forest, Illinois. In the late 1960s, Mr. O’Connor, a highly successful grain futures trader, served on the board of directors of th e Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) during a period when grain futures trading was languishing and members were seeking new business avenues for the exchange. In 1969, Mr. O’Connor, then vice chairman of the CBOT, fleshed out and proposed the idea of an options excha n ge in raw blueprint form to the CBOT’s Board of Directors, detailing the general mechanis m by which puts and calls on stocks could be standardized and traded in an open outcry environment for the first time. The Chicago Board Options Exchange in 1973 opened for trading in the small “smoking room” adjacent to the main trading floor of the CBOT with just 911 options contracts changing hands on day one. “Eddie O’Connor represented the kind of raw, indomitable spirit that in the 1960s and 1970s pervaded the Chicago financial community, which had always fought the reputation of being number two,” said CBOE President and Chief Operating Officer Edward Joyce, who knew O’Connor from the formative days of the CBOE. “Looking back, he was a giant, who along with CBOE President Joe Sullivan, thrust Chi cago into an arena that others – even the financial chiefs in New York – thought unimaginable.” "While Ed O'Connor was a trader at heart, he also had both extremely entrepreneurial and practical sides that pushed the derivatives industry in the right direction," Wayne Luthringshausen, Chairman and CEO of the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) said.
