Bank industry is an extreme important role in economic activities. Because of the function of financial intermediation, bank industry is closely related to the development of other enterprises. Hence, the analysis of bank industry should pay attention especially. Profit is one of the most important things to enterprises and the fundamental for sustained management, and therefore, this study investigates the profit of bank industry.he study employs balance sheets of 37 banks from 1994 to 2002, decomposing the profit change between 2 periods by means of Profit Change Decomposing Model into 6 sources as price effect, technical change effect, operating efficiency effect, product mix effect, resource mix effect, and scale effect, and then analyzing the profit changes of all banks in the period by the 6 changes.urthermore, this study investigates the influence of profit changes of all banks under such external negative impacts as Asian financial crisis and recession of economy in Taiwan. Moreover, this study categorizes by properties, comparing the differences between profit changes both in the period and under the external negative impacts.mpirical results during the study period show that Public Banks perform the best on product mix effect and perform the worst on operating efficiency effect. Then Business Banks perform the best on technical change effect and perform the worst on operating efficiency effect. In addition, Old Private Banks perform the best on technical change effect and perform the worst on operating efficiency effect. Finally, New Banks perform the best on scale effect and perform the worst on operating efficiency effect.nd empirical results under the impact of Asian financial crisis show that Public Banks perform the best on technical change effect and the worst on product mix effect, which means that Asian financial crisis have the greatest influence on product mix effect. Then, Business Banks perform the best on product mix effect and receive the greatest influence on operating efficiency effect. In addition, Old Private Banks perform the best on technical change effect and receive the greatest influence on price effect. Finally, New Banks perform the best on resource mix effect and receive the greatest influence on operating efficiency effect.n the other hand, empirical results under the impact of recession of economy in Taiwan show that Public Banks perform the best on product mix effect and receive the greatest influence on operating efficiency effect. Then, Business Banks perform the best on price effect and receive the greatest influence on resource mix effect. In addition, Old Private Banks perform the best on price effect and receive the greatest influence on operating efficiency effect. Finally, New Banks perform the best on operating efficiency effect and receive the greatest influence on product mix effect.omparing with the top 10 and the last 10 banks in ranking of profit changes, the last 10 banks have a worse performances on price effect and operating efficiency effect than the top 10 during the Asian financial crisis, while the last 10 banks have a worse performances on price effect, operating efficiency effect, and resource mix effect than the top 10 during the recession of economy in Taiwan.
