Integrity and honesty are at the heart of our business. We expect our people to maintain high ethical standards in everything they do, both in their work for the fi rm and in their personal lives. As open markets and global fi nance transform economies, capital markets will play an increasingly vital role in connecting the capital and ideas necessary for growth. Goldman Sachs operates at the very center of this vast change, and as a catalyst for fi nancial progress, fosters entrepreneurship, innovation, effi ciency and economic reform. To succeed, we must remain nimble and ready to combine capital with strategic advice to play a constructive role for our clients and in the marketplace. In any market environment, however, certain tenets of our fi rm remain absolute: a dedication to our clients, a determination to attract and develop talent with unsurpassed market expertise and a commitment to our culture of excellence, teamwork and integrity. With this as our focus, we believe Goldman Sachs will be well positioned not only to respond to change, but to anticipate it in ways that best serve our clients and our shareholders. goldman sachs 2005 annual report page 1 Henry M. Paulson, Jr., chairman and chief executive officer Lloyd C. Blankfein, president and chief operating officer page 2 goldman sachs 2005 annual report Fellow Shareholders: This past year was a successful one for Goldman Sachs, refl ecting both a robust market environment and strong performance across all of our major businesses. For 2005, net revenues increased 21% to $24.8 billion and net earnings rose 24% to $5.6 billion. Earnings per diluted common share (EPS) were up 26%. Our return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity was 28%. Book value per common share has grown from $20.94 at the end of our fi rst year as a public company in 1999 to $57.02 at our fi scal year-end on November 25, 2005, an annually com- pounded rate of 18% over this period. Although Goldman Sachs cannot control the business environment in which we operate and we fully expect to encounter far more diffi cult years than 2005, we are responsible for how well we identify and capitalize on the opportunities potentially available to us. Our ability to do this is dependent on the long-term strength of our franchise. That strength is rooted in deep client relation- ships, market knowledge, risk management expertise and leading positions in the most important fi nancial markets around the world. These attributes have allowed us to grow our net revenues at an annually compounded rate of 11%— nearly twice the rate of global GDP growth — since 1999.

  • Redaz Telecom E Le Storia D'italia
    Michele Altomeni 4 Ottobre 2006 1 Prima parte: la svendita dello Stato Poco meno di sei mesi fa, il 15 aprile, ho scritto un articolo intitolato —I parassiti del paese diviso“. Era una sorta di commento al risultato elettorale. In sintesi diceva che la vittoria del centrosinistra era certamente un risultato positivo, ma non c‘era molto da festeggiare. Riporto qui la parte finale. …Cominciamo da Prodi, ricordiamoci chi è, da dove viene. Lui e il suo circondario, i vari Monti e Padoa- Schioppa (un nome che avete sentito poco, come spesso succede per gli uomini di vero potere), legati a doppio filo alle grandi banche d‘affari, come la Goldman Sachs (di cui Prodi è stato dipendente), quelle che si sono arricchite facendo manbassa delle privatizzazioni italiane, precedute, —casualmente“ da una svalutazione monetaria che ha permesso di comprare tutto a prezzi da ingrosso. Prezzi già di loro bassissimi, dato che le stesse imprese comprate per due lire sono state in molti casi rivendute pochi mesi dopo a valori esponenziali. E a capo del ministero che gestiva tutto questo (non il ministro, che conta poco, ma il direttore generale) c‘era un certo Mario Draghi, sì, proprio quello che oggi sta a capo della Banca d‘Italia, con l‘entusiasmo bipartisan del centrodestra e del centrosinistra (unica eccezione Rifondazione). Dicevamo, la borghesia sta per presentare il conto. Il paese è alla bancarotta, l‘intera economia occidentale è alla bancarotta. In queste fasi il grande capitale raschia il barile, mette il malloppo al sicuro e poi da l‘ultima spallata alle colonne che sorreggono il tempio, mandando a morte Sansone e tutti i filistei.

    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.

  • Goldman Sachs Zendt Zonen Uit: Pyromanen Worden Premier En Gaan Blussen
    Goldman Sachs zendt zonen uit: pyromanen worden premier en gaan blussen. | 1 door Freddy De Pauw verschenen in Uitpers nr. 137, december 2011 De Europeanen beleven ongelooflijke tijden. Bankiers die vanop hun hoge beleidsposities Europa in een diepe crisis stortten, worden nu als redders in de nood opgedrongen. Democratische processen worden aan de kant geschoven om plaats te maken voor “technocraten” die allesbehalve apolitiek zijn: de kopstukken zijn de architecten van de Big Bang die een kwarteeuw geleden vrije hand gaf aan de financiële speculanten die de wereld op zijn kop zetten. Het is bijna niet te vatten: mensen als Mario Draghi – nieuwe baas van de Europese Centrale Bank, de Italiaanse premier Mario Monti en de Griekse premier Loekas Papadimos speelden een hoofdrol in de wording van de catastrofe. Ze deden dat onder meer alle drie in de schoot van de Amerikaanse topbank Goldman Sachs, al jaar en dag bekend om haar nauwe banden met toppolitiek. In het naar voor schuiven van “technocraten” zien we ook de hand van de Trilaterale Commissie. Bankier David Rockefeller richtte dit elitegezelschap op in 1973. In 1975 kwam het met een rapport om de “democratie te matigen”, wat nu aan het gebeuren is. Bank met tentakels De bank Goldman Sachs (GS) is een topspeler van Wall Street, met een stevige voet in het Witte Huis ongeacht de bewoner daarvan. In de recente geschiedenis bleek dat bij voorbeeld in 1995 met de financiële crisis in Mexico. President Bill Clinton besloot toen op advies van zijn minister van Financiën Robert Rubin een hulppakket van 20 miljard dollar (toen leek dat nog een groot bedrag) op te zetten, met deelname van Goldman Sachs voor 5 miljard.
