Modern Banking focuses on the theory and practice of banking, and its prospects in the new millennium. The book is written for courses in banking and finance at Masters, MBA or advanced undergraduate level. Bank practitioners who wish to deepen and broaden their understanding of banking issues may also be attracted to this book. While they often have exceptional detailed knowledge of the areas they have worked in, busy bankers may be all too unaware of the key broader issues and lack perspective. Consider the fundamental question: what is unique about a bank? What differentiates it from other financial institutions? Answering these questions begins to show how banks should evolve and adapt – or fail. If bankers know the underlying reasons for why profitable banks exist, it will help them to devise strategies for sustained growth.

ebXML is an emerging e-commerce standard that leverages the flexibility of the Extensible Markup Language (XML) to build e-commerce infrastructure. XML is a markup language used to create data and documents for application communications and storage. The "eb" in ebXML stands for "electronic business," and the phrase is pronounced as simply "ee-bee-ex-em-el." In this book we will discuss how ebXML fundamentally changes the way information technology (IT) handles online business transactions.
The ebXML standard is the result of a joint international initiative of the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).
ebXML is a concerted effort to combine the best of two existing standards: electronic data interchange (EDI) and extensible markup language (XML). Prior to ebXML, members of both EDI and XML groups disagreed over details but wanted something from the other side. XML users wanted access to the EDI community's vast inventory of business semantics and standards development, and the EDI community wanted to use XML technology. Joining forces in the ebXML initiative was a win-win situation.
Together they set the following goal, according to the published ebXML vision on the organization's Web site:
"The vision of ebXML is to enable a global electronic marketplace where enterprises of any size and in any geographical location can meet and conduct business with each other through the exchange of XML-based messages."

Amid an unsteady economic recovery, outsourcing has become both a corporate buzzword and a galvanizing issue for many interest groups since the first publication of this book in 1994. Hardly a day goes by without national and international publications like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Business Week, Time, and The Economist discussing the issue of outsourcing from a strategic, legal, and geopolitical point of view. While CNN’s Lou Dobbs maintains a running list of American companies exporting jobs overseas,1 no less than a dozen federal bills and resolutions meant to curb offshore outsourcing have been proposed,2 and a majority of states have introduced antioutsourcing legislation of one type or another.3 Yet, despite outsourcing’s role as a lightning rod for campaign rhetoric, companies in a wide array of markets increasingly view outsourcing as a means to achieve cost or operational goals and as a tool for operational and cultural transformation.4 As these companies embrace increasingly diverse outsourcing solutions, there has been an attendant need for increasingly sophisticated transaction structures, which, in turn, has brought outsourcing directly within the purview of corporate development groups.
