    • Abstract:
      The article summarizes the evolution of Banco Santander from its constitution in 1857 to 2007, when the institution celebrates its 150 anniversary. The paper shows the transformation of the bank y how it has gone through the complete geographical scale: from a local credit society to a regional bank and then to national status until it has reached its present position as one of the largest banks of the international financial system. Santander has grown as a consequence of the expansion of its activities in Spain, Europe and America and also through acquisitions and mergers. The performance of Santander has been possible thanks to the progress and internationalization of the Spanish economy. The explanation for the success of Santander has been due to the quality of its human resources, its solid financial strategy and the leadership of its management, in particular the leadership of the now president in office, who has been able to put Santander among the top ten in the world ranking of financial institutions.

    • Abstract:
      El artículo resume la trayectoria del Banco Santander desde su creación en 1857 hasta el año 2007, año en el que se cumple su 150 aniversario. Se muestra cómo ha sido el proceso de transformación de la entidad y cómo se ha producido su ascenso a través de la escala geográfica: de sociedad de crédito local a banco regional y después a banco nacional hasta alcanzar su actual posición de líder en el sistema financiero mundial. El Santander ha crecido mediante la expansión de sus actividades en España, Europa y América y a través de la adquisición y fusión con otras entidades. El crecimiento del Santander ha sido posible gracias al progreso e internacionalización de la economía española. La explicación del éxito del Santander hay que buscarla en la calidad de sus recursos humanos, en la solidez de su estrategia financiera y en el liderazgo de sus directivos y más en particular del actual presidente, que ha lanzado a la institución hacia el octavo puesto en el ranking mundial de bancos.
