When Chase Manhattan and Chemical Bank merged in 1996, the surviving Chase Manhattan Bank was the
largest bank in the United
States. Over the past three years, however, Chase Manhattan has slipped to number three on the list of the
largest banks in the country. This research develops an organizational profile of the
bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Chase Manhattan Corporation. The paper shows that the bank is far more profitable in 1999 than it was in 1996 and it is creating greater shareholder value that it was in 1996.
