FIN 2061 - BANKING REDEFINED - How Superregional Powerhouses Are Reshaping Financial Services Financial institutions across America, in particular, have undergone a wave of restructuring during the 1990’s. This has been brought about by changes in the economy, competition, technology and regulation. In North America, regional banks grew by cutting costs and increasing their distribution capabilities, and by making acquisitions. The reasoning and methodologies driving the restructuring in America may be applied to a specific case in Africa. This case, in most respects, reflects the changing environment in just one country, but the rationale is applicable to any banking institution seeking Superregional status with representation in more than one geographical area.
FIN 2078 INVESTING – What the rich invest in that the poor and middle class do not EXECUTIVE SUMMARYThis paper is about what makes us successful investors. The first half of the paper sets out to explain how we should change our thinking in order to become wealthy. The second half of the paper will try to show readers how to create big assets, learn the professional talents to match their size, and indicate how to keep the money that is made by investing in other, often more stable, assets. Most of Robert Kiyosaki’s teachings are aimed at educating us to think about the ‘flipside’. We grow up aiming to be average, or perhaps better, but do not equip ourselves to really stand out from the crowd. Most people are not enormously wealthy. To be different from most and to attain true wealth, we must think differently from the crowd, and that means changing our attitudes.

It also served to identify investment opportunities in other parts of the world and determine what places might qualify for a second visit.
