Financial Case Studies - BANKING WITH CASE

Case studies have a very important function in reconciling theory and facts in subjects such as finance, banking and accounting, and associating lived realities with abstract theories. The case study technique, which has been attracting attention in Western universities for years both as an educational tool and as a research area, unfortunately has not received the value it deserves in Turkey. Aiming to fill the aforementioned gap, this work has a feature that combines theory and reality in banking and provides a deeper understanding to its interlocutors. In the work, rather than mathematical and statistical analyses, theoretical analyzes have been put forward with a broader perspective by associating theory with facts. Thus, the basic philosophy underlying the case technique, the scientific value of the study and the interaction of the work with the audience; simultaneously observed. Rather than mere stories of the cases discussed in the work, theoretical connections were established, important factors that played a role in the development process were conveyed, and the results of the case were analyzed in detail for both scientific and policy makers. Thanks to this approach, a more holistic and reader-friendly study has emerged. In this study, which examines the real developments in Turkey and the world, the following cases are discussed:
• Barclays LIBOR Manipulation
• İhlas Finance
• Bernard L. Madoff
• Deutsche Bank Scandals
• Etibank
• Ege Insurance
• Bankers Trust and Kıdder Peabody
• Agricultural Credit Cooperatives
• Money Foundations
• Dana Gas Sukuk
• Grameen Bank
