Hierarchical Efficiency in Banking: Decentralized Bi-Level Programming with Stackelberg Dynamics
Journal Title: Journal of Operational and Strategic Analytics - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The inherent hierarchical and decentralized nature of decision-making within banking systems presents significant challenges in evaluating operational efficiency. This study introduces a novel bi-level programming (BLP) framework, incorporating Stackelberg equilibrium dynamics, to assess the performance of bank branches. By combining with data envelopment analysis (DEA), the proposed BLP-DEA model captures the leader-follower relationship that characterizes banking operations, wherein the leader focuses on marketability and the follower prioritizes profitability. A case study involving 15 Iranian bank branches was employed to demonstrate the model’s capacity to evaluate performance comprehensively at both decision-making levels. The results underscore the model's effectiveness in identifying inefficiencies, analyzing cost structures, and providing actionable insights for performance optimization. This approach offers a robust tool for addressing the complexities associated with decentralized decision-making in hierarchical organizations. The findings have significant implications for both theoretical development and practical application, especially in the context of improving the operational efficiency of banking institutions.
