Abstract: Abstract of thesis entitled "Networks as a source of competitive advantage in investment banking: a study of the syndicated loan market in Asia 1994 - 1997 from a social network perspective." Submitted by Heather Jane McGregor For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy At the University of Hong Kong in November 2002 Sociological factors have long been considered to have a material impact on economic outcomes. The resources of a firm include its human and social capital; these form an essential element of its capacity to develop a competitive advantage over its peers. Competitive advantage is understood to be the mechanism through which a firm is able to sustain superior economic performance. Social networks, through which a firm develops its social capital, are present in all firms and especially marked in and around the world of investment banking. Internal and external social networks have been shown to be linked to performance individually, but rarely in combination. In a 1993 paper John Kay argued that the architecture of a firm was a contributory factor to its ability to sustain a competitive advantage. Architecture is a way of describing three social networks operating in and around a firm's employees, its clients, and its peers/suppliers. This description of the social networks operating within and around a firm is shown to have close similarities with that operating in investment banking transactions. A number of such transactions, all syndicated loans undertaken in Asia by one investment bank, are analysed to demonstrate this parallel. Additionally, quantitative data on a large number of syndicated loans completed in Asia in the period 1995-1997 were gathered and analysed to see if successful execution of such transactions could be explained through economic or statistical analysis alone. A methodology for utilising data collected by investment banks for commercial purposes is established, and the results indicate that a core group of personnel may be responsible for much of the key elements of an investment banking transaction. Finally, suggestions are made for ways to develop the research further into other investment banking products and beyond the financial sector altogether.
