Abstract: | This paper deals with how interactions btw. government (here as: gov.) agencies and banking (here as: b-g.) organizations (as .orgs.) led to the emergence of commercial (as: comrcl.) b-g. in the Czech Republic and Hungary during the 1990s. Based on interviews with bank managers at 6 large banks, gov. officers, and experts at other orgs., it is learnt how actions based on different political (as: pol.) ideologies shaped the field of b-g. Three important problems characterized comrcl. b-g. in the two countries: 1. the disposal of bad loans, 2. the privatization of banks, and 3. the establishment of b-g. services. It is argued that these problems' solutions based on the changing pol. interests of organizational actors and regulators represent the phases of institutional development in comrcl. b-g. during the 1990s. |
