INTRODUCTION OF SECTOR
The word 'Bank' is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or Banque or Bank.
This history of banking is traced to as early as 2000 B.C. Banking in fact is primitive as human
society, for ever since man came to realize the importance of money as a medium of exchange,
the necessity of a controlling or regulating agency or institution was naturally felt. The priests in
Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples. These priests thus acted as
financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to early golds miths. They used to keep
strong safes for storing the money and valuables of the people. The first stage in the development
of modern banking, thus, was the accepting of deposits of cash from those persons who had
surplus money with them.
The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with them. These receipts
began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of transactions because people had confidence in
the integrity and solvency of goldsmiths. When it was found that these receipts were fully
accepted in payment of debts; then the receipts were drawn in such a way that it entitled any
holder to claim the specified amount of money from goldsmiths. A depositor who is to make the
payments may now get the money in cash from goldsmiths or pay over the receipt to the creditor.
These receipts were the earlier bank notes. The second stage in the development of banking thus
was the issue of bank notes.
The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited money with them
do not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few persons presented the
receipts for encashment during a given period of time. They also found that most of the money
deposited with them was lying idle. At the same time; they found that they were being constantly
requested for loan on good security. They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money
deposited with them to the needy persons. This proved a profitable business for the goldsmiths.
They instead of charging safe keeping charges from the depositors began to give them interest on
the money deposited with them. This was the third stage in the development of banking.

At the time of independence, there were 631 offices of scheduled banks in Pakistan, of
which 487 were located in West Pakistan alone. As a new country without resources it was very
difficult for Pakistan to run its own banking system immediately.

Therefore, the expert

committee recommended that the Reserve Bank of India should continue to function in Pakistan
until 30th September 1948, so that problems of time and demand liability, coinage currencies,
exchange etc. be settled between India and Pakistan.
The non-Muslims started transferring their funds and accounts to India. By the end of
June 1948 the number of officers of scheduled banks in Pakistan declined from 631 to 225.
There were 19 foreign banks with the status of small branch offices that were engaged solely in
export of crop from Pakistan, while there were only two Pakistani institutions, Habib Bank of
Pakistan and the Australian Bank. The customers of the bank are not satisfied with the uncertain
condition of banking. Similarly the Reserve Bank of India was not in the favor of Govt. of
Pakistan. The Govt. of Pakistan decided to establish a full-fledge central bank. Consequently the
Governor-general of Pakistan Quaid-I-Azam inaugurated the State Bank of Pakistan on July 1,
1948. Thus a landmark was made in the history of banking when the state bank of Pakistan
assumed full control of banking and currency in Pakistan. The banking structure in Pakistan
comprises of the following types.

State Bank of Pakistan

Commercial Bank of Pakistan

Saving banks.

Cooperative banks

Specialized credit institutions.

Commercial banks have been the most effective mobilizers of savings and have been
providing short-term requirements of working capitals to trade, commerce and industry.

Up to December 31, 1973, there were 14 Pakistan commercial banks that functioned all
over the country and in some foreign countries through a network of branches. All these
commercial banks were nationalized in January 1, 1974, and were recognized and merged into
the following five banks:

National Bank of Pakistan

Muslim commercial bank limited

Habib Bank Limited

United Bank Limited

Allied Bank of Pakistan

The state bank of Pakistan is the Central bank of the country and was established on July
1, 1948. The separation of East Pakistan and its repercussion in the form of economic depression
has caused a lot of difficulties to the banking system in Pakistan. The network of bank branches
now covers a very large segment of national economy. The numbers of branches have increased
appreciably and there is now on branch of bank for every 3000 heads of population
approximately. There is done reasonable growth in deposits from the establishment of Pakistan.
Besides this growth, specialized credit and financial institutions have also developed over the
years.
The Government of Pakistan in the late 90s introducing the need for the privatization of
state owned banks and companies. The private sector has accepted the challenge and most of the
banks are privatized today. The State Bank of Pakistan issues the shares of these periodically.
Bank employees and other common peoples can also purchase these shares and earn profit.
Throughout the period of banking history the banks have been expanding rapidly and achieved
the desired goal of progress.

HISTORY:
MCB was founded by ISFHANI and ADAMJEE families in Calcutta on July 9, 1947.
MCB is not an overnight success story rather good track of services are responsible for the leaps
and bounds progress. After the partition of the Indo-Pak Subcontinent, the bank moved to Dhaka
from where it commenced business in August 1948. In 1956, the Bank transferred its Registered
office to Karachi, where the Head Office is presently located. Thus, the bank inherits a 52-year
legacy of trust in its customers and the citizens of Pakistan
The performance of MCB was badly affected by bureaucrat government. In January
1974, MCB was nationalized by Bhutto Government following the bank act 1974 subsequently
in June 1974 Premier Bank Limited merged with MCB.

PRIVATIZATION:
When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the first to be privatized
upon recommendations of World Bank and IMF. The reason for this choice was the better
profitability condition of the organization and less risky credit portfolio which made'' it a good
choice for investors. On April 8th, 1991, the management control was handed over to National
Group (the highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares were sold to private sector at Rs. 56
per share.
MCB besides being money financial organization have rendered invaluable services in
the economics and social developments of our country. MCB today, represents a bank that has
grown with time, experience and Pakistan. A major financial institution, in scope and size, it
symbolizes a fully-grown tree. Evergreen, Strong, and firmly rooted.

The word clearing has been derived from the word clear and is defined as,

A system by which banks exchange cheques and other negotiable instruments drawn on
each other within a specific area and thereby secure payment for their clients through the
Clearing House at specified time in an efficient way.

CLEARING HOUSE
It is a place where cheques are presented, collected from bank branch. It is one of the
services provided by NIFT to other commercial banks. NIFT acts as a clearinghouse.

NIFT:

shifted a tiresome part of its work to a private institution
named NIFT. NIFT collects cheques, demand drafts, Pay
orders, Travelers Cheques, etc. from all the branches of
different banks within city through its carriers and send
them to the branches on which these are drawn for

30

clearing. After the branches approve the instruments drawn on them, NIFT prepares a sheet for
each branch showing the number for instruments and amount

in its favor and drawn on it and sends it to each branch. A similar sheet for each bank is also sent
to clearing house of SBP where accounts of banks are settled in the same manner.

For this kind of remittance the payer must have the account in the issuing bank. Pay order

OTHER DEPARTMENTS
There have been some departments in which internship was not allowed, these
departments were
1. CASH DEPARTMENT
2. ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT
3. ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
And in TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT I got information about ATM and Online
Banking and just filled their forms because computer work was not allowed to internees.

CASH DEPARTMENT

The cash department is the most important department of the bank. In cash department
both deposits and withdrawals go side by side. This department deals with cash deposits and
payments.
The following books are maintained in the Cash Department:

38

Cash Receipt Book

Cash Payment Book

Cash Balance Book

The officers in this department are called teller and there were 2 tellers Mr. Nazir and Mr.
Abrash at the counter. This department is involved in two activities: Cash Deposits, Cash
Payments.

CASH RECEIPT BOOK:


The cashier is responsible to receive both the paying-in-slip and cash from the depositor.
For depositing the cash into customers accounts, there is need to fill in the paying-in-slip giving
the related details of the transaction. The cashier check the necessary details provided in the
paying-in-slip and accounts the cash and tallies with the amount declared in the slip then cashier
fills in the Cash voucher received Record Sheet and assigns a voucher no. to both the
transaction being made in the sheet and the slip. The 2 nd cashier posts the transaction entries in
computer ledger. After posting these entries,
computer display before posting balance and after
posting. Cashier assigns the stamp POSTED on
the voucher to show voucher transaction entries
are posted.

CASH PAYMENT BOOK:


The only instrument that can be used to
withdraw an amount from an account is the Cheque book. No payments are made by another
instrument. When cheque is valid in all respects, the cashier enters the necessary inputs in the
computer and posts the entry so that account balance is updated. When cashier posts these
39

entries, computer automatically display the balance before posting the transaction amount,
balance after posting.
The cashier at the same time maintains the Cash Voucher Received Record Sheet.
Then inspects the signature of the customer, cancellation mark of checking officer and stamp of
POSTED is placed on cheque before he hands over the cash to customer.

CASH BALANCE BOOK:


At the end of the working day cashier is responsible to maintain the cash balance book.
The cash book contains the date, opening balance, detail of cash payment and received in figures,

The consolidated figure of receipt and


payment of cash is entered in the cash book and
the closing balance of cash is drawn from that
i.e.
Opening Balance of Cash + Receipts Payments = Closing Balance

ACCOUNTS DEPARTMENT
The most important aspect in record keeping of a bank is its accounting system. The basic
purpose for maintaining an accounting system is to ensure consistency in record keeping and
accounts. The basic requirement for any accounting system is that it should be in accordance
with the GAAP i.e. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. There are two choices available
to an organization for an accounting system.

MOBILE BANKING:
It has been launched recently during my internship. It helps in getting accounts details
and making transactions using mobiles.

PHONE BANKING:
"MCB Phone Banking is available to all customers on a countrywide basis. Customers
can dial 111-000-622(without any city code/prefix) from their respective cities
Customers enjoy 24x7 Round the Clock Phone Banking Services. MCB is the first bank

MCB now offers the facility of on-line banking to its
customers through its country wide network of branches.
Customers can use the ATMs or the banking counters of any branch for day-to-day banking
needs, irrespective of branch where they maintain their accounts.

There are now more than 250 branches linked through this system and they can
transact with each other directly using computer systems and the software named
SYMBOLS at their own branches.
ATM (Automatic Teller Machine):
ATM stands for Automatic Teller Machine. This
machine is used to transact in one's account without
intervention of humans. These machines are basically
used for taking cash, confirming balances and requesting
statements / cheque books. MCB has the largest ATM
network in the country at the moment with almost one
ATM at each online branch and also ATM terminals at
International Airports covering 27 cities of Pakistan
42

ATMs are operated through a card issued to the valued customers and by application of
Personal Identification Number (PIN number). Now MCB has also entered into a contract with
Cirrus which is a subsidiary of MasterCard. This contract will enable an ATM card holder to
use his account even when he is out of country at all the ATMs where Cirrus logo is displayed.
Green Cards are ordinary cards with a maximum withdrawal facility of Rs. 10,000/- in a day.
The annual fee for this card is Rs. 300/- only.

International Cards are issued in collaboration with Cirrus and are useable all over the world
with maximum withdrawal facility according to the standards of Cirrus.

43

ADVANCES DEPARTMENT
Different banks provide loan facility to general public, companies etc. but MCB provides
two types of loans that are as under:

Fund Base Loans

Non Fund Base Loans

FUND BASE LOANS:


In this type of loans cash is directly involved. Bank provides loans in shape of cash. Bank
gives credit or limit facility to customers that needed it. In fund based loans there are two further
classifications:

Long Term Loans:

Lease facility for car

For Machinery

For Fixed Assets

Short Term Loans:


Running Finance (R/F)
Cash Finance (C/F)

RUNNING FINANCE:
The MCB provides overdraft facility to the customers for the working capital
requirement. These are the loans which are given to those customers whose business runs
through out the year or continuously. Its duration is one year and it is for running business.

44

In advances there are two securities one is known primary security and other is secondary
or collateral security.
Hypothecation of stock is the primary security and mortgage is the secondary or
collateral security.

SECURITIES FOR FUND BASE LOANS:


Hypothecation of Stock
Mortgage
Pledge
HYPOTHECATION OF STOCK:

In hypothecation of stock the possession of goods and the title remains in the favour of
customer. Without the permission of the bank the customer can't sell the stock. It is the restriction
of the bank that in god own there should be stock according to the instructions of bank every
time. The draw back of this is that there is no check and balance of stock from the bank. The
customer can easily sell his stock.
MORTGAGE:

The bank can mortgage the immovable property like land, building etc as a security. In
mortgage the possession remains to customer and title of goods remains to bank.

PLEDGE:
In this, bank requires the moveable property of the customer as a security like stock,
vehicle etc. possession of goods remains to customer and title in the favor of bank. The bank
hires a muqaddam [Guard] and the key of store where the stock is pledged is in the security of
bank. When customer wants to sell the stock then he pays the amount equivalent to stock which
he wants to sell. After receiving amount bank releases his stock for the same amount

45

NON FUND BASE LOANS:


In non fund based loans cash is not directly involved but bank gives guarantee on
the behalf of customer. Bank works as a third party and known as Guarantor. Bank provides a
security to customer when he needs and someone requires from the customer.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF MCB

RATIO ANALYSIS
Ratio analysis is an important and old technique of financial analysis. Ratios are
important and helpful in the reference that:

These simplify the comprehension of financial statement and tell the whole story
of changes in the financial conditions of the business.

These provide data for inter-firm comparison. The ratios highlight the factors
associated with successful and unsuccessful firms, also reveal strong and weak
firms.

These help in planning and forecasting these can assist management in its basic
functions of forecasting, planning, coordination and control.

These help in investment decision in case of investor and lending decision in case
of Bankers etc.

However, the ratios are only indicators, they cannot be taken as final regarding good or
bad financial position of the business other things have also to be seen.
Great care is needed while calculating meaningful ratios and in interpreting them.
Although there are several ratios, which an analyst can employ yet the type of ratios he would,
use entirely depends on the purpose for which the analysis is done i.e., a creditor would keep him
abreast about the ability of a concern to cover up its current obligations and so would care about

49

current and liquid ratios, Turnover of receivables, coverage of interest by the level of earnings
etc.

ADVANTAGES OF RATIO ANALYSIS:


It helps to give comprehensive financial statements in evaluating aspects of any
undertaking in respect of financial health, operations efficiency and profitability. It gives a
chance of inter-firm-comparison to measure efficiency and helps management to resort to some
remedial measures. It provides a good help in decision making for investors and the financial
institutions.

CATEGORIES OF RATIO ANALYSIS:

Liquidity ratios

Activity ratios

Debt ratios

Profitability ratios

Market ratios

LIQUIDITY RATIOS
The liquidity of a firm is measured by its ability to satisfy its short-term obligations as
they come due. Liquidity refers to the solvency of the firms overall financial position i.e. the
ease with which it pays its bills. Due to low or declining liquidity firm moves towards financial
distress and bankruptcy.
Liquidity Measures are
50

Current ratio

Quick (acid-test) ratio

CURRENT RATIO:
The current ratio, one of the most commonly cited financial ratios, measure the firms
ability to meet its short-term obligations. It is expressed as follows:
Current assets
Current ratio =

Current liability
Years

2014

2013

2012

Current ratio

1.42

1.02

1.31

RESULT:
From the above ratios it is clear that the firms investment in current assets has increased.
In 2008 it is in better position to pay its obligations as they come due. But in three years we can
see that the firm has the ability to pay its current liabilities efficiently. The standard for this ratio
is 2:1 it is calculated by the current assets by total of the current liabilities.
This ratio is below the standard. The management should take steps to improve the shortterm financial position of the firm.

DEBT RATIO
The debt position of a firm indicates the amount of other peoples money being used to
generate profits. In general, the financial analyst is most concerned with long term debts, because
these commit the firm to a stream of payment s over the long run.
51

The debt ratio measures the proportion of total assets financed by the firms creditors.
The higher this ratio the greater the amount of other people money being used to generate profit.
The ratio is calculated by following formula
Debt ratio =

Total liabilities
Total assets

Years

2014

2013

2012

Debt ratios

0.864958

0.860627

0.877075

RESULT:
The ratio indicates the more than half of the assets financed by the debt. This ratio is
almost showing the same trend throughout the previous three years. Debt ratio indicates the
greater the risk and more financial leverage it has. It also shows that firm has paid some portion
of the debt during the year 2014.

with the companys performance.
Opportunities are favorable factors or trends in the external environment that the
company may be able to exploit to its advantage.
And Threats are unfavorable external factors or trends that may present challenges to
performance.

66

A scan of the internal and external environment is an important part of the strategic
planning process. The SWOT Analysis provides information that is helpful in matching the
firms resources and capabilities to the competitive environment in which it operates.

MCBs SWOT ANALYSIS


STRENGTHS
MCB is the first Pakistani privatized bank and because of its quality management,
marketing, innovation in products and services. Owing to all such factors they have established a
good reputation in the banking market. The name of MCB makes you recall the highly
cooperative and professional individuals ready to serve you with maximum zeal and zest.
The joining of experienced people, advanced management, advance setup and facilities
gave MCB an edge over its competitors.

MUSLIM COMMERCIAL BANKS IMAGE:


67

MCB is a reputable financial organization and is well known all over the Pakistan.
Perception is of producing a high quality services.

CUSTOMER CARE:
The Bank not only provides high quality services but it also look for the comfort and
convenience of the clients, MCB always preferred their customers.

MARKET SHARE:
MCB has covered much of the potential market and the net profit is increasing years after
years. Deposits and advances have sufficiently increased.

LARGE NUMBER OF DIVERSIFY PRODUCTS:


This is also its main strength as it has diversified in many products such as:

Debit Card

Visa Card

Car Financing

Agriculture Financing
BRANCH NETWORK
It is the greatest strength of the Bank. In 2004, five more branches were added to the
network and by the end of the year 2005 the total number of branches was raised from just 53 to
143. MCB has also planned to open more branches in next coming years.

SOUND MARKETING:
Skillful marketing of the products is being achieving countrywide goals of Muslim
Commercial Bank Limited.

68

PHONE BANKING:
Every account holder can conform its balance on Phone and may ask for any query. There
are also 24 hours help lines for customers.

MOBILE BANKING:
It has been launched recently. It helps in getting accounts details and making transactions using
mobiles.

HIGHLY AUTOMATED BANK:


MCB in Pakistan is the also in the list of highly automated banks, about 750, like
Emirates because of its modern style of banking through fully computerized control and twenty
four hour banking.

FASTER BANKING SERVICE:


MCB have faster banking services that are making it more prominent in the banking
industry especially in operations and Foreign exchange. The customer prefers this bank not only
because of its faster speedy service rather due to reasonable service charges.

INTERNATIONALLY DESIGNED PRODUCTS:


MCBs products are internationally designed products. These are valuable and
operational in all over the world.

CONTRACT WITH CIRRUS:


Now MCB has also entered into a contract with Cirrus which is a subsidiary of
MasterCard. This contract will enable an ATM card holder to use his account even when he is
out of country at all the ATMs where Cirrus logo is displayed.

69

WEAKNESSES
ADVERTISEMENT:
The majority of people are not well aware about the products of MCB. Therefore it
should advertise extensively especially RTC and Master Cards.

ACCOMMODATE BEHAVIORALLY:
A behavior has been noted that bank tries to feel at ease with good looking, rich and
educated people and the poor looking customers feel some bit strange in the environment of the
bank. The bank employees should try to accommodate behaviorally all type of customers.

MISMANAGEMENT OF TIME:
Mismanagement of time is another big mistake in MCB branches, the bank official time
of closing is 5:30pm but due mismanagement of time allocation and work the staff is normally
on their seats till 7:00 or 8:00 clock.

AND ALSO,

70

Costly documents are required for loan sanctioning.

Some times bank also never meets stated rate of profit

OPPORTUNITIES
PRIVATIZATION:
As on December 31, 1998, sixty-eight scheduled banks with 9,106 branches are operating
in Pakistan. As on this date, total population of Pakistan is 140.03 million. Total number of
personal accounts with all scheduled banks as on December 31,1997, are 28.98 million. If we
consider the population statistics of working age group as on December 31,1997, it stands to the
figure of 96.64 million. Thus we can say those 28% of working age people of Pakistan are
having accounts with banks while 72% are unbanked.
The need of privatization has made people to switch to banks to satisfy their needs of
lending and borrowing. This not only increases the deposits but also the credit business.

DIVERSIFICATION:
They may enter in New business or any other consumer-durable product in order to
promote their name, by introducing Loan for the students, small businesses, and handicraft
industry.

SOME MORE OPPERTUNITIES:

71

Information Technology.

Credit cards can give more earning.

Establishing more foreign Branches.

They should introduce Student Finance Facility.

They should also introduce mobile ATM

THREATS
CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT POLICIES:
Change in government policies has affected the banking business. Still banks have to wait
to get permission of state bank. The freezing of foreign currency accounts is a vital example of
letting people not to trust on banks.

COMPETITION:
The Competition has become severe by the entrants of so many banks, So to exist one
will have to prove himself in its services through excellent management and will have to satisfy
its shareholders. Otherwise he will be out the market.

LOW INVESTMENT:
The decrease purchasing power of consumer in the current economic situation of the
country affecting the business activity speed too much and the result is the low investment from
the investors in new projects can create problem for the bank because it is working a lot in trade.

STATE BANK REGULATION:


As the Bank introduces unique products so they face problem if State Bank Of Pakistan
employ taxes on them which force them to increase the rate of Interest.

EXPECTATIONS OF THE PEOPLE:


Due to huge competition among those banks and MCB,, people are the basic
beneficiaries from it and thus their expectations tend to increase about the products and the
relative rate of interest thus creating a threat for MCB.

SOME BANKS ARE OFFERING KISAN CARDS.


72

73

PEST ANALYSES
PEST analyses tell How Political, Economical, Social and technological factors affect
MCB. These are the external factors which affects the whole organization.

POLITICO-LEGAL FACTORS:

Stable government

Stable policies in favor of business

Improved relation with outside world

Law and order.

UNSTABLE GOVERNMENT:

Due to this reason foreigners hesitate to invest their savings in banks, as a result of
economy of our country is going downward and banks suffer.
ADVERSE LAW AND ORDER SITUATION:

The situation of law and order is adverse. The policies are not very handy and beneficial
for the country. The Govt. passes such rules which are not in the favour of bank e.g. The Govt. of
Pakistan has passed a rule that if anyone withdraws more than Rs.25000 then he will be charged
0.30% on withdrawal.

ECONOMIC FACTORS:
Pakistan's economy is going weaker and weaker. 9/11 has a great influence on the
economic crisis of all over the world. With economic factors the bank influenced very much that
are as under:

74

Impact of WTO force to cost reduction methodology.

Low interest rate

Inflation

Low GDP growth

Budget deficit

Increase in Govt. duties

Fluctuation in exchange rates

SOCIAL FACTORS:
Social environment includes family, friends, a person's role and status. An individuals
life directly by society and the person acts according to his or her society. Cultural environment
includes norms, values, religion, conception and perception.

If we see the religion point of view then interest is not allowed that's why most of
the people hesitate to invest their savings in banks and yet they are not aware of
ISLAMIC BANKING.

Traditional business men do not like the business with bank. They pay their
creditors through cash not through cheque. They do not want to get the bank
facilities.

TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS:
Today is the era of technology. In the every aspect of life technology plays an important
role.

Due to rapid change in technology every bank has to change its technology to
compete other ones.

75

Increasing issue of securities due to technology resulted increase in cyber


crime. Cyber crime means manipulation. One person can easily transfer
amount from any other's account to his account.

APPLICATION OF CLASS ROOM LEARNING

During my internship of eight weeks in Muslim Commercial Bank, Ltd. Kot Chutta
Branch, Dera Ghazi Khan the knowledge given by my respected and devoted teachers proved to
be very helpful in understanding the environment in the organization and working practically.
Following are some key points about application of my class room learning in the
organization:
The knowledge achieved from the subject Business Communication helped me in
understanding customer dealing i.e. how to deal with them? How to understand their problems?
etc.
It also helped me in understanding the inter Organizational Communication i.e. circulars,
notices etc.
Also the Knowledge which I got from the subject Computer application in Business
also proved very useful.
Financial Management and Principles of Accounting helped me in understanding the
accounting terminologies which are used in bank e.g. what is debit and credit vouchers? What
are these for? And also in understanding that how entries are made against certain heads.
I could do this only with the help of the knowledge provided to me in my six semesters of
MBA at Bahauddin Zakariya University, Sub Campus Dera Ghazi Khan

76

WHAT I HAVE LEARNT IN MCB

In Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. I really enjoyed working with the staff of Kot Chutta
Branch, having a wish to be employee of MCB. It was almost impossible to work in all the
departments within that limited time. But the staff of the branch provided me the opportunity to
work in the different departments for the sake of practical knowledge. I feel highly indebted to
work in the Kot Chutta Branch with the manager of that branch Mr. sarfaraz, because I learnt a
lot in that branch.
During my internship training in the MCB as I early mentioned that I have worked in
different departments & seats and learnt the following things,

77

How to deal with different types of customers.

Account opening.

Cheque book issuance.

Outward clearing.

Cheque for Collection.

Different forms and vouchers filling.

Experience of working in a well reputed organization.

SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

Following are some suggestions for Muslim Commercial Bank, Ltd.

ADVERTISING:
Bank must let potential customers know that all attractions for banking exist. This is done
by advertising on television and obtaining press coverage, in conjunction with direct mail,
window displays, leaflet in branches and in appropriate other locations (such as hotels, shops,
etc.) and including leaflets in statement of accounts sent to existing customers in the hope that
they will tell potential customers about the services provided by our bank.

INCREASED ATMS LOCATIONS:


Some personal sector customers prefer not to come to branch. They increasingly want to
deal with the bank in other ways, such as home banking or use of Automated Teller Machines
(ATMs), which need to be at every branch or some important shopping plazas and airports etc.

INCREASED SERVICES:
One way to retain the customers is to offer a wide range of services such as tax advice,
free life insurance equivalent to amount deposited, shares portfolio management, fund
management facility, etc., complimentary to the core services. Banks must have a slightly
different mix of services and mean of providing these such that customers can choose the mix
that suits them best.

MANAGEMENT OF TIME:
There should be a good management of time for the sake of employees i.e. offering them
free break hours instead of making them work in this time as well.

78

GROWTH SCOPE FOR EMPLOYEES:


MCB should provide greater facilities to its employees, and give them bonuses for their
hard work and Promotions as well. There is a criticism on the banking management that the
salaries of the employees are decreasing in every succeeding year. And I think this will shake the
confidence and working habit of the employees

BANKING PROFESSIONALS:
The bank should hire banking professionals having experience in their respective fields
that will boost the performance of the company as currently MBAs are produced for this field so
they should be hired for enhancing the performance of company.

ATTRACT CUSTOMERS:
The banking company should offer such policies which would attract customers which
are denied by other banking in the market.

JOB ROTATION AND PROMOTIONS:


Most of the bank employees, are sticking to one seat only with the result that they
become master of one particular job and loose their grip on other banking operation. In my
opinion all the employees should have regular job experience all out-look towards banking. The
promotion policy should be adjusted

COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR EMPLOYEES:


As such system should be designed that every employee who has some problems with his
officers can communicate it to the higher management and some steps must be taken to improve
that.

79

IF I WERE MANAGER AT MUSLIM COMMERCIAL BANK

If I would be a manager at MCB Ill take following steps,

I will apply such a communication system specially designed for employees trough they
can share the problems regarding work environment.

Complete working and break hours will be offered so that employees can work
efficiently.

I will make it sure that some of the employees should be sent for training to other
countries and employees from other branches should be brought here.

I will make promotions, job rotation and bonuses, an important part of policies of MCB.

At every months closing when employees stay at branch even after working hours, a
dinner from bank will be offered.

To retain potential customers certain services will be provided and let them know with
advertising.

I will make it sure that Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff dressing
should be according to the modern banking style.

80

A winning knowledge management program increases staff productivity, product and service
quality, and deliverable consistency by capitalizing on intellectual and knowledge-based assets.
Many organizations leap into a knowledge management solution (e.g. document management,
data mining, blogging, and community forums) without first considering the purpose or
objectives they wish to fulfill or how the organization will adopt and follow best practices for
managing its knowledge assets long term. A successful knowledge management program will
consider more than just technology. An organization should also consider.

People. They represent how you increase the ability of individuals within the
organization to influence others with their knowledge.

Processes. They involve how you establish best practices and governance for the efficient
and accurate identification, management, and dissemination of knowledge.

Technology. It addresses how you choose, configure, and utilize tools and automation to
enable knowledge management.

Structure. It directs how you transform organizational structures to facilitate and


encourage cross-discipline awareness and expertise.

Culture. It embodies how you establish and cultivate a knowledge-sharing, knowledgedriven culture.

8 Steps to Implementation
Implementing a knowledge management program is no easy feat. You will encounter many
challenges along the way including many of the following:

Inability to recognize or articulate knowledge; turning tacit knowledge into explicit


knowledge.

Geographical distance and/or language barriers in an international company.

Limitations of information and communication technologies.

Loosely defined areas of expertise.

Internal conflicts (e.g. professional territoriality).

Lack of incentives or performance management goals.

Poor training or mentoring programs.

Cultural barriers (e.g. this is how we've always done it mentality).


81

The following eight-step approach will enable you to identify these challenges so you can plan
for them, thus minimizing the risks and maximizing the rewards. This approach was developed
based on logical, tried-and-true activities for implementing any new organizational program. The
early steps involve strategy, planning, and requirements gathering while the later steps focus on
execution and continual improvement.

Step 1: Establish Knowledge Management Program Objectives


Before selecting a tool, defining a process, and developing workflows, you should envision and
articulate the end state. In order to establish the appropriate program objectives, identify and
document the business problems that need resolution and the business drivers that will provide
momentum and justification for the endeavor.
Provide both short-term and long-term objectives that address the business problems and support
the business drivers. Short-term objectives should seek to provide validation that the program is
on the right path while long-term objectives will help to create and communicate the big picture.
Step 2: Prepare for Change
Knowledge management is more than just an application of technology. It involves cultural
changes in the way employees perceive and share knowledge they develop or possess. One
common cultural hurdle to increasing the sharing of knowledge is that companies primarily
reward individual performance. This practice promotes a "knowledge is power" behavior that
contradicts the desired knowledge-sharing, knowledge-driven culture end state you are after.
Successfully implementing a new knowledge management program may require changes within
the organization's norms and shared values; changes that some people might resist or even
attempt to quash. To minimize the negative impact of such changes, it's wise to follow an
established approach for managing cultural change.
Step 3: Define High-Level Process
To facilitate the effective management of your organization's knowledge assets, you should begin
by laying out a high-level knowledge management process. The process can be progressively
developed with detailed procedures and work instructions throughout steps four, five, and six.
However, it should be finalized and approved prior to step seven (implementation).
Organizations that overlook or loosely define the knowledge management process will not
realize the full potential of their knowledge management objectives. How knowledge is
identified, captured, categorized, and disseminated will be ad hoc at best. There are a number of
knowledge management best practices, all of which comprise similar activities. In general, these
activities include knowledge strategy, creation, identification, classification, capture, validation,
transfer, maintenance, archival, measurement, and reporting.

82

Step 4: Determine and Prioritize Technology Needs


Depending on the program objectives established in step one and the process controls and criteria
defined in step three, you can begin to determine and prioritize your knowledge management
technology needs. With such a variety of knowledge management solutions, it is imperative to
understand the cost and benefit of each type of technology and the primary technology providers
in the marketplace. Don't be too quick to purchase a new technology without first determining if
your existing technologies can meet your needs. You can also wait to make costly technology
decisions after the knowledge management program is well underway if there is broad support
and a need for enhanced computing and automation.
Step 5: Assess Current State
Now that you've established your program objectives to solve your business problem, prepared
for change to address cultural issues, defined a high-level process to enable the effective
management of your knowledge assets, and determined and prioritized your technology needs
that will enhance and automate knowledge management related activities, you are in a position to
assess the current state of knowledge management within your organization.
The knowledge management assessment should cover all five core knowledge management
components: people, processes, technology, structure, and culture. A typical assessment should
provide an overview of the assessment, the gaps between current and desired states, and the
recommendations for attenuating identified gaps. The recommendations will become the
foundation for the roadmap in step six.
Step 6: Build a Knowledge Management Implementation Roadmap
With the current-state assessment in hand, it is time to build the implementation roadmap for
your knowledge management program. But before going too far, you should re-confirm senior
leadership's support and commitment, as well as the funding to implement and maintain the
knowledge management program. Without these prerequisites, your efforts will be futile. Having
solid evidence of your organizations shortcomings, via the assessment, should drive the urgency
rate up.
Having a strategy on how to overcome the shortcomings will be critical in gaining leadership's
support and getting the funding you will need. This strategy can be presented as a roadmap of
related projects, each addressing specific gaps identified by the assessment. The roadmap can
span months and years and illustrate key milestones and dependencies. A good roadmap will
83

yield some short-term wins in the first step of projects, which will bolster support for subsequent
steps.
As time progresses, continue to review and evolve the roadmap based upon the changing
economic conditions and business drivers. You will undoubtedly gain additional insight through
the lessons learned from earlier projects that can be applied to future projects as well.
Step 7: Implementation
Implementing a knowledge management program and maturing the overall effectiveness of your
organization will require significant personnel resources and funding. Be prepared for the long
haul, but at the same time, ensure that incremental advances are made and publicized. As long as
there are recognized value and benefits, especially in light of ongoing successes, there should be
little resistance to continued knowledge management investments.
With that said, it's time for the rubber to meet the road. You know what the objectives are. You
have properly mitigated all cultural issues. Youve got the processes and technologies that will
enable and launch your knowledge management program. You know what the gaps are and have
a roadmap to tell you how to address them.
As you advance through each step of the roadmap, make sure you are realizing your short-term
wins. Without them, your program may lose momentum and the support of key stakeholders.
Step 8: Measure and Improve the Knowledge Management Program
How will you know your knowledge management investments are working? You will need a way
of measuring your actual effectiveness and comparing that to anticipated results. If possible,
establish some baseline measurements in order to capture the before shot of the organizations
performance prior to implementing the knowledge management program. Then, after
implementation, trend and compare the new results to the old results to see how performance has
improved.
Dont be disillusioned if the delta is not as large as you would have anticipated. It will take time
for the organization to become proficient with the new processes and improvements. Over time,
the results should follow suit.
When deciding upon the appropriate metrics to measure your organizations progress, establish a
balanced scorecard that provides metrics in the areas of performance, quality, compliance, and
value. The key point behind establishing a knowledge management balanced scorecard is that it
provides valuable insight into what's working and what's not. You can then take the necessary
actions to mitigate compliance, performance, quality, and value gaps, thus improving overall
efficacy of the knowledge management program.

Implementing a complete knowledge management takes time and money, however, the results
can be impressive and risks can be minimized by taking a phased approach that gives beneficial
returns at each step. Organizations that have made this kind of investment in knowledge
management realize tangible results quickly. They add to their top and bottom lines through
faster cycle times, enhanced efficiency, better decision making and greater use of tested solutions
