abstract
- In this interesting work, professors Mauro Guillén and Adrian Tschoegl provide us with the opportunity to read new findings on the banking and insurance industry, a topic they have studied in depth for the last years. In aggregated terms, the main Spanish companies investing abroad belong to that industry, the Santander Group being one of the main ones. In nine chapters, the authors study the international expansion of the Santander Group (to which the Banco Santander belongs), focusing on its corporate strategy. It is worth highlighting that during the last 20 years, the Banco Santander grew from being the second largest in Spain to being the world's ninth largest bank.
