Morgan Stanley: Becoming a "One-Firm Firm"
By: M. Diane Burton, Thomas J. DeLong and Katherine Lawrence
Abstract
John Mack, the newly appointed president of Morgan Stanley, feels strongly that the firm needs to change in order to compete in a changing investment banking environment. Mack and his senior team undertake initiatives in order to transform the culture and working style of the firm from individualistic to team-oriented. The case provides detailed information about Morgan Stanley's existing culture and systems as well as the kinds of changes that it hopes to make. Morgan Stanley views the human resource management systems as a tool for attaining strategic objectives.
