Dieses Kapitel soll den Leser in die faszinierende Welt des Investment Banking einführen: Wer sind die Akteure? Was sind deren Aufgaben und Ziele? Wie beeinflussen wirtschaftliche, politische und rechtliche Rah­ menbedingungen die Tätigkeit der Investment Banker? Welche Institu­ tionen dominieren und wie ist deren Struktur? Obwohl nun viel über Investment Banker geschrieben wurde, ist man weit davon entfernt, Einigung über den Begriff Investment Banking zu erzielen. Zudem stellt »die Anglisierung des internationalen Investment Banking eine vollkommene Eroberung der Usancen, Termini und Stan­ dards der weltweiten Financial Community dar. Für einen Kulturkampf wider die Überfremdung der Begriffe ist schon deshalb keine Lanze zu brechen, weil dieser Kampf tatsächlich längst verloren ist. «l Von einer weiteren, den bisherigen Dschungel an Uneinheitlichkeit erweiternden Definition möchte ich daher Abstand nehmen. So ist denn auch die Auf­ gabe dieses Kapitels, welches sich mit folgenden Aspekten des Investment Banking des näheren auseinandersetzt, wenig beschreibender Natur: ~ Geschäftstätigkeiten der Investment Banker ~ Geschichte der Investmentbanken ~ Organisatorische Grösse und Struktur von Investmentbanken 1. 1. Geschäftstätigkeiten der Investment Banker Manche meinen, eine genaue Begriffsbestimmung erleichtere die Kom­ munikation; andere behaupten, Definitionen seien der Wahrheitsfindung hinderlich, da oftmals wichtige Aspekte ausgeklammert werden. Schliess­ lich definiert der Fortgeschrittene um zu kommunizieren, nicht um Wahrheiten zu erforschen. Auf der Suche nach der Wahrheit, gerät man denn auch auf Irrwege: Investment Banking Is What Investment Bankers Do.

"Wissensmanagement und Wissensarbeit avancieren am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts zu den zentralen Produktionsfaktoren der Wertschöpfung. Wissen ist nicht nur die wichtigste Ressource, sondern auch das zentrale Produkt vieler Unternehmen. Mehr und mehr Unternehmen versuchen aus diesem Grund, ihren wertvollsten Besitz professionell zu organisieren, so wie sie dies mit ihren Finanzen oder ihrem Personal tun. Oliver Vopel analysiert die Einflußgrößen dieser Kernkompetenz moderner Organisationen. Am Beispiel des Investment Banking wird gezeigt, welche Chancen und Risiken damit verbunden sind - Ergebnisse, die auch für andere wissensintensive Unternehmen wie Unternehmensberatungen oder Softwareunternehmen von Bedeutung sind. Der Autor identifiziert die Best Practices der Branche und zeigt, wie die Investmentbanken die Entwicklung strategischer Wissensfelder in themen- und kundenorientierte ""Communities of Practice"" verlagern und wie die Kombination unterschiedlicher Wissensbereiche in temporären Projektteams organisiert wird. Er beleuchtet die kritischen Erfolgsfaktoren eines Managements von Wissen in Expertokratien und analysiert, welche Anreize das Teilen von Wissen befördern und welche Motive dagegen stehen können."
