Security challenges in a lockless village
can the wrath of gods protect a bank from burglars?
A national bank opens a branch in the village of Shani Shingnapur in India. The people of this village are very religious and believe that their houses and properties are guarded by deities. Hence, the villagers eschew security, and their houses and shops are without locks or doors. The branch manager of the bank is concerned about the security of his staff and the cash stored in the lockless bank. But given the religious preferences of the region he is afraid to propose the enforcement of certain security measures. This case provides information about the culture of the village, the work practices of the bank, and the beliefs of the employees. Students will evaluate the cognitive biases in the case to evaluate the options of the branch manager and suggest appropriate strategies to handle employee grievances.
