SEB : 150 Years of Change
109: Max Ström, 2006. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Text in English. 252 pp.
A stately 150-year-old with a granite head office – simultaneously a curious organisation always willing to try something new. A bank with gentlemen in oils on boardroom walls and a young female CEO. The world's most profitable bank in the 1980s, yet on the brink of bankruptcy five years later but currently producing its best profit ever. The bank that introduced nationally redeemable bank drafts 150 years ago and led banking to IT at the beginning of the new century. A citadel of Swedish capitalism – with most of its employees now in other countries.
SEB turns 150 this year, 2006. Here is its story. A story of its people, its deals, the quantum leaps, the mistakes and the fight-backs. Petter Karlsson has written a book about a company that lives up to Marcus Wallenberg's motto: The only constant is change. This is a bank at the respectable age of 150 still seeking challenges, on the doorstep of change. Near Fine. Item #6127
