Perspectives

Writing this article was of immense pleasure for me. Having worked in the banking sector for over 25 years I am passionate about the performance of this sector. Moreover, banking sector is the backbone of the economic development of any economy, especially emerging economies where capital market is not well developed. The study has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This article also lead to establishing the significance of human resources in improving performance of banks. I hope the readers find this article thought-provoking.
