Providing insight into the secretive world of Wall Street high finance, Alexandra Michel, assistant professor of management and organization at the USC Marshall School of Business, and her co-author study two highly successful Wall Street investment banks to understand what drives the success of these organizations. Through detailed accounts of newcomers during their first two years at their respective banks, the authors examine the relationships between the banking institutions and the people working for them, examining how workers are transformed into different people by the varied types of practices implemented by their workplaces.
