Risk Management at Wellfleet Bank: Deciding about "Megadeals" Case Solution And Analysis, HBR Case Study Solution & Analysis of Harvard Case Studies

This case commence risk management in the context of corporate generosity, among the bread-and-butter functions of commercial banks. It evokes the company line, which in this organization reverberated long after the decisive votes were cast at the group credit committee and the ethnic tension between the hazard function. The case further motivates disagreement on calculative cultures, and the role of model-based risk assessments in decision making, and underlines the function of ruling in danger choices. Modeling and ruling take different weight in different kinds of hazard choices.

This is because the key attributes of the proposals at hand cannot all be condensed into hazard metrics; as in these suggestions, several "qualitative" dilemmas arise the decision-maker must judge in tandem with the quantitative metrics. The exercise also emphasizes that model-based risk metrics are themselves judgmental (they represent the premises of the modeler) and that their use must be as much an art as a science. The narrative has got a temporal dimension: one proposition was current in mid-2006, the other in late 2008, two quite distinct credit environments.
