Nick Leeson and the Collapse of Barings Bank: Socio-Technical Networks and the ‘Rogue Trader’
基于卡龙的社会转译理论，分析尼克·里森如何利用巴林银行高管对利润的追求构建社会技术网络，最终导致银行倒闭，并探讨其作为‘流氓交易员’的自我呈现。
This paper examines the collapse of Barings Bank, utilizing an extended analytical framework based on Callon's sociology of translation. It shows how Leeson linked himself inextricably with Barings’ executives need for profit, mobilizing them (and others) into defending him when his activities were subject to scrutiny. It goes on to explain the process through which Leeson effectively lost control of his socio-technical network, and concludes by examining the difficulty of Leeson's presentation of himself to the world as a ‘rogue trader’.
