Conclusion Extinction-Survival 2-Edged Mechanism Amplified.
Supplementary Case   The Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajokull is a vivid and latest evidence to challenge the conclusion of TRT. The initial position of Europe’s regulators was that the safe level of volcanic ash was zero, thus grounding all flights in the broad swathes of sky which computer models said could be tainted. The fact that this regulatory stance changed in the face of an affluent cadre of displaced people, airlines feeling pinch, a looming threat to some supply chains and an election (constituency in Britain), makes it all the more suspicious.
TRT in Organization Behavior In the field of organization behavior, there are two conflict theories in explaining the risk-taking-driven behaviors. Threat-rigidity theory asserts that organizations will behave conservatively under threat conditions; meanwhile, “Prospect theory”argues that organizations will behave in a risk-taking manner when they is below a specific self-perceived reference point.
