...Project Management in Banks: a Case Study A Project Management approach to Service Delivery within the Financial Services Sector; A case study of CAL BANK 1.1 Background The competitiveness of service business is contingent, at least in part, on the design and configuration of quality service delivery and the value proposition inherent in such services (Frei and Harker, 1999; Johnston and Clark, 2005; Verma et al., 2002). Therefore,congruence high level of alignment between a service experience and value for money is crucial for success of all organizations. From this perspective, a study aimed at investigating how project management can be successfully applied to service firms (banks) to lead to quality service delivery for customers is highly justified, as customers are the life blood of any organization. Indeed, several empirical studies suggest that firms achieve higher levels of profitability and performance through successful implementation of project management (PM) (Sauser et al, 2009; Lockett et al, 2008; Chin, 2004; Atkinson et al, 2006; Alleman, 2008; Gallo and Gardiner, 2007; Fernandez and Fernandez, 2009). Moreover, project management has been proven to have the ability to enhance flexibility, remove bureaucracy and also to create room for adaptability (Gomes et al, 2008; Lockett et al, 2008; Lord, 1993). Similarly, the argument for providing quality service has far been advanced by many scholars both in marketing and management circles. For example, Heskett...

...Central banks are under increasing scrutiny over their performance, their costs and the extent to which they employ modern management practices. Yet while performance management techniques are widespread in the commercial sector, it is difficult to apply these directly to central banks. This article begins by setting out what is involved in performance management and discusses some of the problems that occur in applying them to central banking. In a second section, some examples of best-practice activities in performance management are considered. It is hoped that this will open a debate about performance management - a debate to which all central banks are invited to contribute1. Performance management in modern organisations is concerned with outcomes (results), outputs (products) and inputs (activities) in that order. It should be concerned with improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the conversion processes between each level of the orgnaisation, and it needs to take account of the degree to which the organisation is conditioned by, or able to control, its environment in seeking to achieve its objectives. What then are the problems with applying performance measurement to central banks? This article groups them into three. First, central banks have to satisfy multiple stakeholders, outcomes and outputs; second, perverse results can arise from pursuing some measures at the expense of others; and third, there are few comparators to turn to for guidance. From a...

...Executive Summary Eastern Bank’s tagline is “Simple Math”. But it is not so simple to serve the borrowers with the right package. A bank’s major liability is to deliver significant returns to their depositors. Unlike returns to shareholders, this return is promised. Unless delivered, depositors may take back the return with a vengeance; bankrupting the bank in the process. The banks developed various form of debtor selection processes to protect themselves against depositors grudge, i.e. delinquency of borrowers. CRG (Credit Risk Grading) and CRR (Credit Risk Rating) together makes one of those processes. This report is titled “Predicting Delinquency of EBL’s Corporate Customers.” EBL is one of the leading private commercial banks of Bangladesh. After starting its operation in 1992, the bank established itself as one of the most technologically advanced banks of the country. EBL has been offering diverse portfolio of products to its customer. CRG process is a borrower selection process advised by Bangladesh Bank. Private commercial banks in Bangladesh use CRG to predict the possibility of delinquency in the form of CRR. EBL uses the same process. This report first develops a model to test the CRR against financial data of a firm. Data obtained from 35 borrowers of EBL were used to run a linear regression taking CRR ratings of respective firms as dependent variable. Running the regression, the model shows that CRR of a firm does not reflect the firm’s financial data properly...

...RISK MANAGEMENT IN BANKS The business of banking today is synonymous with active risk management than it was ever before. The success and failure of a banking institution heavily depends on the strength of the risk management system in the current environment. This is true as the very business of banking is risk-taking as an intermediary, i.e. interposing between savers (depositor) on one hand and the borrower on the other hand, thereby accepting the risks of intermediation. Risk Management: Meaning & Components A risk can be defined as an unplanned event with financial consequences resulting in loss or reduced earnings. Therefore, a risky proposition is one with potential profit or a looming loss. Risk stems from uncertainty or unpredictability of the future. In commercial and business risk generates profit or loss depending upon the way in which it is managed. Risk can be defined as the volatility of the potential outcome. Risk is the possibility of something adverse happening. Risk management is the process of assessing risk, taking steps to reduce risk to an acceptable level and maintaining that level of risk. The essential components of any risk management system are – * Risk Identification: i.e. the naming and defining of each type of risk associated with a transaction or type of product or service; * Risk Measurement: i.e. the estimation of the size, probability and timing of potential loss under various scenarios; * Risk Control: i.e....

...A STUDY ON INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES OF ISLAMI BANK BANGLADESH LIMITED PREFACE Bank is a part and parcel of the modern economy of any country. Like any other countries in the world banks play the most crucial role not in the economic but also the social, political environment in Bangladesh. Even it is wise to say that the financial sector of Bangladesh is solely dominated by the banking sector, because the non bank financial sector of Bangladesh is yet to develop to desired level, although it is growing very rapidly. The invention of banking based on Islamic shariah is a relatively new concept in the global banking arena. Now a day the Islamic Shariah based banks are not operating only in the Muslim countries but also in non Muslim countries with the same level of faith and efficiencies parallel to the conventional interest based banks. Even in some cases some of the Islamic Shariah based banks has exceeded their competing traditional banks in terms of service quality and some other key financial indicators. In Bangladesh Muslim constitutes more than 80% of her total population. These people possess strong faith on Allah and they want to lead their lives as per the instructions given in the holy Quran and Sunnah; the way shown by the prophet Hazrat Muhammad (Sm). But no Islamic banking system was developed here up to 1983. The Traditional banking sector was fully based on interest. This is why most of our religious...

Conclusion 8 VI. References 9 I. Introduction Hong Kong is one of the leading financial centres in the world. Therefore, a sound and professional banking system is a prerequisite for its economic development and success. At the end of July 2003 there were 135 licensed banks in operation (statistics provided by HKMA). Among these licensed banks, the Middle Bank is one of the local banks that provides a variety of banking products and services for personal and corporate customers. In the face of a formidable challenge in increasing competition, re-regulation, and thin margins, the bank believes that it must improve service quality in order to sustain competitive advantages. This paper is an attempt to analyze the use of Total Quality Management throughout this medium-size local bank. It aims to achieve profit growth through cost-efficiency and differentiation. In fact, excellent service, as a consequence of adopting TQM, contributes to both. II.
