ABSTRACT
This monograph is an attempt to establish a framework for
Operations in Financial Services as a research area from an
Operations Management perspective. Operations in Finan-
cial Services has not developed itself yet as a well-defined
research area within the Operations Management commu-
nity. It has been touched upon by researchers from vari-
ous different disciplines, including Operations Management,
Statistics, Information Technology, Finance, and Marketing.
However, each discipline has a different perspective on what
the important issues are and the various disciplines are often
at odds with one another. This monograph has been written
from an Operations Management perspective.

Preface 3
reviewers were of the opinion that if such issues were not discussed, a
monograph on Operations in Financial Services would not be of any
interest.
The following section discusses operational risk aspects of Financial
Services. These topics are just as important as, for example, Total Qual-
ity Management (TQM) in micro-electronics manufacturing. Anyone
working on TQM in manufacturing knows how important this field is.
But it is only lately that people in the finance world have started to
realize how important operational risk is. And operational risk in finance
has not yet received the research attention that TQM has received in
manufacturing.
Since Big Data and Machine Learning have, in many disciplines,
become very much in vogue lately, it is more than appropriate to
have one section on Data Analytics, which includes Machine Learning.
It seems that Data Analytics will have a huge impact on financial
operations in the near future and that it will become an important area
of academic research.
In the final section we conclude with a discussion on research direc-
tions that may become of interest in the future.
We hope that this monograph will turn out to be useful for the
operations management community from a teaching as well as from
a research perspective. Hopefully, instructors will be able to use this
monograph in a course on Service Operations (or maybe even for a more
focused course on Operations in Financial Services). For researchers in
this area, this monograph may be useful as well since it may provide
an overview of the general area and some indication where a particular
research problem would fit in within the overall framework.
We are very grateful to the many people who have gone through
preliminary drafts of this manuscript and who have provided us with
useful feedback. We are especially grateful to Manos Hatzakis (Merrill
Lynch) and Suresh Nair (Univ. of Connecticut); several subsections of
this monograph have benefited a great deal from ideas presented in the
survey paper by Hatzakis et al. (2010). Several other colleagues of ours,
in academia as well as in industry, have also provided us with many
useful comments, namely Stephen Brown (Stern School of Business at
