Abstract

Where do they come from, the shares that populate the stock exchanges, the Reuter-screens, and the pages of the financial press? It is time to go back stage and visit the ‘construction department’ of investment banking: corporate banking. Such a visit is problematic, however, since corporate banking practices are much less public than the practices of the expert groups discussed previously. Indeed, corporate banking practices are highly insulated even from these other parts of investment banking. Nonetheless, we will not only provide an overview of how these experts work (in this chapter) but also follow corporate banking expertise at work in a specific project involving the introduction of a new share on the stock exchange (in Chapter 7). This will allow us to examine the role of corporate banking in structuring contemporary business life and in organizing stock markets by constructing and reshaping shares.
