dc.description.abstract | In the early 1960s a crisis occurred in the Western world. The United States objected when the Soviet Union placed nuclear missiles in Cuba, an allied country. The conflict initiated a nuclear weapons competition, which almost endangered human survival. American President John F. Kennedy, Secretary General U Thant, and the Soviet Union diffused the crises through political negotiations. Harvard University Professor Dr. Graham T. Allison analyzed the event and analyzed how the U.S. government and the Soviet Union handled the problem from rational, organizational, and political models.
Though financial institutions cannot avoid a meager profit, they are weak and cannot withstand the risk. Therefore, accurate policy-making appears to be of great importance. Contrary to other enterprises, financial institutions appear more enclosed and its political undertones are more obvious. When organizations aim to resolve a problem, however, can the decision of the managers benefit the institution regardless of their personal biases? Also, how do the job holders explain and appraise the essence of decision-making correctly? By conducting a qualitative research plan, I attempt to analyze the essence of the decision-making process by bank managers when they confront a financial crisis and the reactions of jobholders. Through methods such as personal interviews with managers and Allison´s (1971) three decision models, I consider the consciousness of political organization, match bureau theory, discuss choice-basic construction, and examine financial shortcomings.
It is argued that political behavior truly exists in bank organization. The political consciousness of bank members does impact the understanding and judgments of information. Theories such as Game Theory、Linear Regression Analysis、Statistical Induction or Financial Modeling cannot find a good solution to this dilemma. Decision-makers need to understand the emotional and political aspect of each individual in the organization to correctly interpret the political motives of society members. Other members of society should understand the decision-makers to avoid wasted effort and decisions that are beyond one’s responsibility.
