Abstract:
|
This case discusses about the managerial and leadership
qualities of Jamie Dimon (Dimon), CEO of US-based banking major, JPMorgan Chase
& Co. (JPMorgan Chase). Dimon was credited in the financial services industry
for turning around several beleaguered companies including Baltimore-based
consumer lending company, Commercial Credit Corp., Chicago-based retail banking
and credit card major Bank One Corporation (Bank One). He was also accredited
with steering JPMorgan Chase through turbulent times in the financial services
industry. Analysts attributed Dimon for his inspirational leadership style and
his comprehensive turnaround plan that led to the spectacular turnaround of
JPMorgan Chase.

|
Moreover, his decision to exit the then
booming subprime mortgages business that helped JPMorgan Chase
trudge through the financial downturn, while its competitors
like Merrill Lynch Co. & Inc., UBS AG, and Goldman Sachs & Co.
suffered damages due to the credit crunch, also caught the
attention of the analysts.
Sensing an opportunity in the prevailing adversity, Dimon went
ahead with JPMorgan Chase's acquisition of Bear Stearns
Companies Inc. (Bear Stearns), in March 2008. While a few
analysts felt that it was logical for Dimon to acquire Bear
Stearns since it would enhance JPMorgan's existing business
portfolio, others felt that his decision could prove expensive
if the US economy weakened further.
