It needs her help to right an ancient wrong.

This edited collection explores the influence of...

Like any other part of an organization in the financial services industry, operations has rules and regulations to comply with. Although many view regulation as being about rooting out rogue traders and controlling speculators, its role is much more profound than this, and without it many more...
