4.0 out of 5 stars Commercial Bank Financial Management, May 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Commercial Bank Financial Management (5th Edition) (Hardcover)

Commercial Bank Financial Management is considered as an informative and a comprehensive guide for both experts in the field and novice alike. Although it is a good read, I find the content of the book is a little bit out-of-date. There is not enough information on electronic banking persective as it is very important in today's banking world.
