Some Reviews of International Finance Revisited'
Mr. Deepak S Parekh, Chairman HDFC, Ltd. reviews, "The Exploration of boundaries between the act of investment and finding secure and organized methods of doing so, is one of the classical searches in the Finance area. In a delightfully readable style, Dr. Gautam has explored the concerns of governance and organization design of finance-related organizations and institutions. This fills a serious void and could well be a contributor to giving a constructive slant to the shape of things to come in the area of international finance. Dr. Gautam's effort, meant for the scholar and lay reader alike, is indeed a worthy one."
Mr. Sunil Kant Munjal, Chairman, Hero Corporate Services Ltd., Former President, CII: "Prof. Vinayshil Gautam's writings interest and fascinate me for two reasons. First, I relish the way in which he observes processes, and links them with the evolution of ideas in a particular domain. I also admire his perceptive analysis, which he bases on authentic and verifiable data. These two attributes are clearly evident in the book, International Finance Revisited'. With his usual erudition, Dr. Vinayshil has produced a treatise cutting across financial concerns, strategy and organization development. He dwells brilliantly on how to go about reconstructing the transactional, the regulatory and the governance architecture of the post-slump period. Written in a very readable through many one-liners, I have enjoyed going through the book."
Mr. Richard Rekhy, Head of Advisory, KPMG: "Recently, the global financial system has suffered its greatest crisis in 75 years. As the economies try to bounce back with better investment climate, Dr. Gautam's book captures the core issues of investments beginning from evolution of financial globalization to the formulation of international financial regulations. The book covers regional patterns of investments, examines the growing importance of sovereign wealth funds and its political implicationsanalyses the flow of capital from different sources and its role in shaping the organizational structures in some of the leading organizations. Dr. Gautam very aptlyconcludes the book with India-specific policy propositions and their implications and possible future directions. The book is a must for students, policy makers and enthusiastic readers."
