A crisis can be defined as “a high degree of instability and carries the potential for negative results that can endanger the continuity of the organization” (Klann, Gene, 2003, p. 4) or other way round, a crisis represents a status of threat, urgency, and uncertainty (Boin et al., 2009). The purpose of this study is to gain better understanding of bank’s situation in the time of an international financial crisis in different countries.
