Case - Buffalo Savings Case

Read the attached case on Buffalo Savings Bank and answer the questions below:

Question 1. Where in the crisis lifecycle would you place this situation?

Question 2. Identify the most relevant stakeholders/interests in this case?

Question 3. Suggest TWO VIABLE solutions for BSB.

Question 4. Describe the Tough Choice each of the stakeholders you identified in Question 2 presents to CEO Ross Kenzie. Be sure to identify the underlying core value conflicts.

Question 5. Assess the short and long term implications of BOTH of the two options in Question 3 using the following frameworks: (a) reputation landscape; (b) activist checklist; and (c) the institutional risk landscape.

Question 6. Compare and contrast the two alternatives you consider in Question 3 above according to Kidder's principles. What solution does your ethics analysis recommend regarding how Kenzie should resolve his tough choice?

Question 7. Which of the solutions you specified in Question 3 is best for BSB overall and what would have to be different to change your answer?

Question 8. Develop a strategy and associated implementation steps for the solution you chose in Question 7 that addressboth the short and long term threats and opportunities facing BSB.

Question 9. Briefly describe how you would make the case for adopting your recommendation from Question 6 above to each of the stakeholder groups identified in Question 2 (crisis question).

Question 10. From a fiscal perspective, the inclusion of a call option in contracts for below-market loans seems sensible: making some money from providing below-market loans in difficult times appears a good thing to do from both the bank's and the community's perspective; and including a call option protects the bank from unreasonable downside risks should the market deteriorate. What is wrong with this argument?
