University Harvard Business School
Abstract At the end of its first year of operation, Shinsei bank reported stunning performance results that exceeded investorsÕ expectations. However, a series of implementation issues relating to corporate restructuring remained unresolved. Conflicts emerged between the bankÕs veteran Japanese Relationship Managers, who serviced corporate clients, and its younger recruits, who were eager to cross-sell new products to these clients. Senior management of the bank disagreed over how to handle the conflicts and how fast the bank should be moving to create a new performance-driven culture. Masamato Yashiro, CEO of Shinsei bank, was in urgent need to find solutions to these problems fast. This case can also be used with The Shinsei Bank (A).
