First National City Bank Operating Group (A)
By: Jay W. Lorsch
Abstract
Growth in the banking field has produced new demands on the "back office." Traditional management practices in check processing and paper handling operations have resulted in ten years of cost increases and quality loss. New manager of the operating group faces an action question--can he turn the back office into a production-oriented factory?
