ExcerptsDrivers of Culture
Structure and Systems
As most of the GS partners had been in the organization right from the start
of their careers, they had worked as part of the same team at some point.
Thus, by the time they became partners, they were familiar with and trusted
each other.
GS stood by its clients during difficult times. In 1987, GS
along with other members of a syndicate agreed to underwrite the sale of
state-owned British Petroleum. Following the stock market crash of October 1987,
the US stock market dipped by 22 percent in a single day, and GS was about to
face a loss of US$ 100 million on that deal. |
