Abstract

During recent decades, banks have progressively moved towards larger, centralized and hierarchical organizational structures. An increased investment in non-interest-generating activities has also implied performance vulnerability, whose effects have been particularly destabilizing during the recent financial crisis. In this economic and financial contest, several banks have become increasingly concerned with controlling and analysing their costs and revenues, as well as measuring the risks taken to produce acceptable returns.
