  • Weekly Market Summary
    Weekly Market Summary Weekly Market Summary 13th of Nov 2015 A December to Remember...30 Days and Counting Till The US Federal Reserve's First Rate Liftoff in 9-1/2 Years ! Fadi Nasser (SVP – Head of Treasury Sales) In the absence of major economic data releases in the early part of this week (that will change later this afternoon with the publication of the all-important October U.S. Retail Sales and Producer Price Index reports as well as that of the preliminary November US Consumer Confidence report known as the University of Michigan Sentiment), market attention has turned to appearances/speeches made by various Federal Reserve officials, with the latter reiterating for the second week in a row that conditions for the first rate liftoff since June 2006 “could soon be satisfied” (NY Fed President William Dudley – permanent voting member) and stressing that policy should be tightened only gradually after that first rate increase. Though Dudley declined to say if he expected rates to rise at next month’s meeting of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (December 16th), he devoted considerable space in his speech to the Economic Club of New York to explaining why the central bank should proceed with caution as it raises rates above zero. “After liftoff commences, I expect that the pace of tightening will be quite gradual,” Dudley said. “In part, that is because monetary policy is not as stimulative as the low level of the Federal funds rate might suggest.” Dudley’s speech followed comments by the Chicago Fed’s Charles Evans (voting member), Richmond’s Jeffrey Lacker (voting member) and St.

    What Happened to Goldman Sachs: An Insider’s Story of Organizational Drift and its Unintended Consequences Steven G. Mandis Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Science COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 ©2013 Steven G. Mandis All Rights Reserved Abstract What Happened to Goldman Sachs: An Insider’s Story of Organizational Drift and its Unintended Consequences Steven G. Mandis This is the story of the slow evolution of Goldman Sachs – addressing why and how the firm changed from an ethical standard to a legal one as it grew to be a leading global corporation. In What Happened to Goldman Sachs, Steven G. Mandis uncovers the forces behind what he calls Goldman’s “organizational drift.” Drawing from his firsthand experience; sociological research; analysis of SEC, congressional, and other filings; and a wide array of interviews with former clients, detractors, and current and former partners, Mandis uncovers the pressures that forced Goldman to slowly drift away form the very principles on which its reputation was built. Mandis evaluates what made Goldman Sachs so successful in the first place, how it responded to pressures to grow, why it moved away from the values and partnership culture that sustained it for so many years, what forces accelerated this drift, and why insiders can’t – or won’t – recognize this crucial change. Combining insightful analysis with engaging storytelling, Mandis has written an insider’s history that offers invaluable perspectives to business leaders interested in understanding and managing organizational drift in their own firms.
