Debates about financial reform have led to the recognition that a healthy financial system doesn't depend solely on how it is structured--organizational culture matters as well. Based on extensive research in a Wall Street derivatives-trading room, Taking the Floor considers how the culture of financial organizations might change in order to remain healthy, even in times of crises.ises.

Reviews for Taking the Floor: Models, Morals, and Management in a Wall Street Trading Room

Winner of the George R. Terry Book Award, Academy of Management Co-Winner of the EGOS Book Prize, European Group for Organizational Studies Providing a unique perspective on a complex suject, Taking the Floor profiles what an effective, responsible trading room can and should look like. ---City Press Office, Cass Business School Taking the Floor is a significant contribution to social studies of finance and economic sociology more broadly. It will certainly be worthwhile reading not only for specialists, but also a much broader audience, since the way abstract models shape reality is becoming one of the more salient issues in contemporary societies within and beyond the realm of finance. ---Manuel A. Santana-Turegano, London School of Economics Review of Books Taking the Floor is beautifully written. . . . Throughout, [Beunza's] storytelling keeps the reader riveted. ---Joel Gehman, Organization Studies
