1.1 Introduction

As a student of MBA everyone has to conduct a practical orientation in any organization

for fulfilling the requirements of the 12 weeks Internship Program. The main purpose of

the program is to expose the students to the real world situation.

This report is done as a partial requirement of the internship program for the MBA

students. This report is prepared for the internship program consisting of a major in-

depth study of the total banking of Jamuna Bank Ltd. Practical knowledge is fundamental

for the application of theoretical intelligence. Bearing this in mind, internship program

was being included in the MBA curriculum. The goal of this analysis is to expose the

student in the organizational work situation and also to provide an opportunity for

applying classroom learning in practice considering the differences between theories and

practice.

General Banking practices in our country are not ancient. After Independence, financial

institutions of East Pakistan have been merged to public limited bank. Government

owned banks failed to progress and support economic activities of the country, since

1990 private limited banks started to emerge. It has been almost 15 years, and now the

scenario is of four state-owned commercial banks, five specialized banks, thirty eight

private commercial banks, one land development bank and nine foreign commercial

banks. The growth of private sector banking is rapid. Because of flow of capital,

accountability, service quality and lack of corruption has made the private banks popular,

customer friendly, moreover they have successfully managed credit-portfolio which

helped both the banks and the end clients. Stock market achievement, easy profitability

has made the life of the private banking cherishable. But, Lots of individual banks

entered the market, it became competitive, and Government became skeptical due to

some loan fraudulency and money laundering. This background is not old, hence,

Banking now a days has became dynamic and more than competitive.

Jamuna Bank Limited is a private commercial bank. The Bank has been established at

2001 and now it has 97 branches over the country. It expresses itself as a brand of third

generation. Being a third generation bank, It has been expected that the Bank's

management standards will be up to the task, Customers are well served and employees

are also satisfied with the reward system.

The Branch of Dilkusha is literally a semi corporate branch. The client base, turnover,

employee portfolio and activities agree that statement. But, it has been found that the

management practices of this branch, with internal and external customer satisfaction is

not good enough. As the branch is a key contributor and held as an standard branch of

Page 2: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

JBL culture, It is clear that, other branches performances in banking is almost as same or

low than this branch, Hence, This branch portrays the practices of Jamuna Bank itself.

An analysis has been done to prove that, the measures of total quality management have

been taken consideration to evaluate the branches management standards. 15 samples are

being observed in interview based on questionnaire to test hypothesis regarding

satisfaction.

There are plenty of reports on general banking in Bangladesh; Majorities of them are of

internship basses. But, Evaluating a Branches management practices is recent research

problem, conducted here. In addition, in other country there are works related employee

and customer satisfaction of the bank but, unfortunately, in our country this work is one

of the fewest among them.

For, the further proceedings, a widely discussed literature review have been added to

convey the discussions of various topics that were analyzed later. Real life

recommendations were given to improve the gaps of the Branch.

1.2 Literature Review:

General banking is the starting point of all the banking operations. It is the department,

which provides day-to-day services to the customers. Every day it receives deposits from

the customers and meets their demand for cash by honoring cheques. It opens new

accounts, remit funds, issues bank drafts and pay orders etc. Since bank is confined to

provide the services every day, general banking is also known as „retail banking‟ (Samia,

2013).

A management system describes the set of procedures an organization needs to follow in

order to meet its objectives. In some small organizations, there may not be an official

system, just "our way of doing things” that is mostly kept in the heads of the staff. But

the larger the organization, the more likely that procedures need to be recorded to ensure

everyone is clear on who does what. This process of systemizing how things are done is

known as a management system ( ISO. Org).

Leadership may be defined as „a process whereby an individual influences a group of

individuals to achieve a common goal‟ (Northouse, 2010, p. 3). Further, Kelloway &

Barling (2010) define leadership as a process of social influence that is enacted by

individuals in formal positions of power or leadership positions within an organization,

such as managers and supervisors. Although leadership is not confined to individuals in

formal leadership positions, it is argued that these individuals may have a particularly

wide remit of influence within an organization (Kelloway & Barling, 2010).

Page 3: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

The quality council should be the first organizational step toward quality improvement

(Hamel, 2013). Values are the outcome of choice, as well as the underlying forces which

influence those choices ( Raia, 1988). Consumer Satisfaction Process can be depicted in

the following steps (Engel, Blackwell et al. 1995): • Need recognition – realization of the

difference between desired situation and the current situation that serves as a trigger for

the entire consumption process. • Search for information - search for data relevant for the

purchasing decision, both from internal sources (one's memory) and/or external sources. •

Pre-purchase alternative evaluation - assessment of available choices that can fulfill the

realized need by evaluating benefits they may deliver and reduction of the number of

options to the one (or several) preferred. • Purchase - acquirement of the chosen option of

product or service. ”Life cycle approaches to sustainable consumption”, AIST 3 •

Consumption - utilization of the procured option. • Post-purchase alternative re-

evaluation - assessment of whether or not and to what degree the consumption of the

alternative produced satisfaction. • Divestment - disposal of the unconsumed product or

its remnants.

Most often employee engagement has been defined as emotional and intellectual

commitment to the organization (Baumruk 2004, Richman 2006 and Shaw 2005) or the

amount of discretionary effort exhibited by employees in their job (Frank et al 2004).

Thus, according to Kahn (1990), engagement means to be psychologically as well as

physically present when occupying and performing an organizational role.

Kaizen (Kai do, change, and Zen well) is a kind of thinking and management; it is a

philosophy being used not only in management field but also in the everyday life in

Japan. It means gradual and continuous progress, increase of value, intensification, and

improvement (Karkoszka and Szewieczet, 2007). It is translated in the west as

ongoing, continuous improvement (CI) (Malik et al., 2007). The phrase “CI” is associated

with a variety of organizational developments including the adoption of “lean

manufacturing” techniques, total quality management (TQM) employee involvement

programmers, customer service initiatives, and waste reduction campaign. It is the

“accompany–wide process of focused and continuous incremental innovation” (Bhuyan

and Baghel, 2005), “small incremental changes in productive processes or in working”

practices that permit an improvement in some indicator of performance (Garcia et al.,

2008). The main focus of CI on three key notations as indicated by Brunet and New

(2003)

Neely et al. “Performance Measurement is a topic often discussed but rarely defined”.

Following their comment concerning definitions, Neely et al. [9] went on to propose

definitions of performance measurement, a performance measure and a performance

measurement system. These were: “Performance measurement can be defined as the

process of quantifying the efficiency and effectiveness of action.” “A performance

Page 4: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

measure can be defined as a metric used to quantify the efficiency and/or effectiveness of

action.” “A performance measurement system can be defined as the set of metrics used to

quantify both the efficiency and effectiveness of actions.

Benchmarking as a continuous and systematic process of comparing products, services,

processes and outcomes with other organizations or exemplars, for the purpose of

improving outcomes by identifying, adapting and implementing best practice approaches

(Edith Cowan University, 2011).

Information technology (IT) is universally regarded as an essential tool in enhancing the

competitiveness of the economy of a country. There is consensus that IT has significant

effects on the productivity of firms. These effects will only be realized if, and when, IT

are widely spread and used. It is essential to understand the determinants of IT adoption

(Tiago, 2011).

Environmental management is considered as a methodology for managing the operations

of an organization to ensure they are performed in an environmentally responsible

manner. It can also be seen as the sensible utilization and management of environmental

resources in a cost-effective and sustainable way (Hale, 1995).

Environmental management is a complex mechanism involving many important issues,

such as operations and technologies, products and services, functional strategies and

management systems (Klassen and Mclaughlin, 1996; Kolk and Mauser, 2002)

Quality function deployment (QFD) is „„an overall concept that provides a means of

translating customer requirements into the appropriate technical requirements for each

stage of product development and production (i.e., marketing strategies, planning,

product design and engineering, prototype evaluation, production process development,

production, sales)‟‟ (Sullivan, 1986)

Corporate citizenship describes the role of the corporation in administering citizenship

rights for individuals. Such a definition reframes CC away from the notion that the

corporation is a citizen in itself (as individuals are), and towards the acknowledgement

that the corporation administers certain aspects of citizenship for those individuals. We

do not wish suggest that corporations are the only actors administering these rights, but

they have taken over considerable responsibility for such administration from

governments ( Matten 2003).

Herzberg had close links with Maslow and believed in a two-factor theory of motivation.

He argued that there were certain factors that a business could introduce that would

directly motivate employees to work harder (motivators). However there were also

Page 5: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

factors that would de-motivate an employee if not present but would not in themselves

actually motivate employees to work harder (hygiene factors), (Rilley 2015).

Green Banking is an umbrella term referring to practices and guidelines that make banks

sustainable in economic, environment, and social dimensions. It aims to make banking

processes and the use of IT and physical infrastructure as efficient and effective as

possible, with zero or minimal impact on the environment ( Ahuja, 2015).

The goal of statistical process control (SPC) is to make a process stable or predictable, by

distinguishing common variation from special/sporadic variation. Capability analysis and

process improvement actions shall only be put in place if the observable variability of the

process is absent of special causes of variation. Conventional SPC methods often do not

work well in short-run situations, such as in the following: 1) Job shop processes where a

high diversity of custom or semi-custom parts is manufactured. Monitoring such high

variety of products would require a large number of control charts, which is unpractical

in most situations. 2) Just-in-time (JIT) systems where low levels of inventory are

required, thus demanding the manufacturing of smaller quantities of parts in shorter

production runs. 3) Start-up of a process or initiation of a new process, where insufficient

number of subgroups is available, so the parameters of the process cannot be accurately

estimated ( Pedro, 2015)

A “Likert item” is a statement that the respondent is asked to evaluate in a survey. In the

example below, the statement, “The checkout process was easy” is a Likert item (Vanek,

2012).

A model can come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. It is important to emphasize that a

model is not the real world but merely a human construct to help us better understand real

world systems. In general all models have an information input, an information

processor, and an output of expected results (StartingPoint.Org)

1.3 Research Objective:

Research Objectives are as follows:

A. To know overall profile of the Company.

B. To find out how JBL operates its General Banking.

C. To identify the problems associated with the banks Management Standards.

D. To detect customer satisfactions of the services provided by the bank.

E. To analyze the employees Job Satisfaction in terms of reward system & working

conditions of the bank.

1.4 Research Methodology:

Page 6: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

1. A) Primary Data has been collected through observation, face to face interview

and questionnaire method.

B) Secondary Data: Publications, Journals, Annual Reports, Training manuals of

the bank.

2. A questionnaire identifying the satisfaction of the respondents has been prepared

on five point type. This has been attached on the appendix.

3. A) Population Size: The Jamuna Bank Itself.

B) Sample Size: JBDB is a semi-corporate branch of Jamuna Bank. The

reputation of this branch is almost alike of the Headquarter of it. The situation of it

reflects the overall condition of the whole bank. That‟s why it has been taken as a sample

for study.

15 Samples of respondents among the employees has been collected randomly for

hypothesis testing.

H0a: Customers are satisfied with the service provided by the bank

Ha: Customers are not satisfied with the service provided by the bank

H0b: Employees are satisfied with the compensation and reward system of the bank

Hb: Employees are not satisfied with the compensation and reward system of the bank

4. Tools for Analyzing Data:

A) Various models of Total Quality Management have been used to identify the

condition of the samples in terms of research objective 4 and 5.

B) Hypothesis Testing: t test, with level of significance 0.05 that shows 95%

confidence level. As the sample is small. The population mean is 3.5, In likert

type data, We weigh the Scales like this:

Strongly Agree--------------5

Agree-------------------------4

Neither Agree/ Disagree---3

Disagree----------------------2

Strongly Disagree-----------1

When our sample mean exceeds the population mean uo, we will reject the hypothesis

and accept the alternative hypothesis as that shows the sample mean is below Neither

Agree or Disagree meter and lies in disagreement zone. The critical value of t for left tail

test is: 2.26.

t= Average Mean – Population Mean / ( s/n^.5)

s= Standard Deviation = (Sum(X-X*)^2)/(n-1)

Page 7: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

1.5Limitations of The Study:

The one of the main limitations of the report was to conduct a small scale survey

on clients.

Time period was the other limitation for collecting information, which was only

three month long.

Insufficient supply of relevant books and journals.

The branch is too much busy branch as for this to operate the survey on the basis

of questionnaire

Deficiencies in data required for the study.

Field practice varies with the standard practice that also created problem.

Time provided for conducting the study is another important constraint.

The employees in Jamuna Bank Limited are so much busy in their responsible

fields; they could hardly provide little time to discuss with them.

3.1 General Banking Activities

General banking is the starting point of all the banking operations. It is the department,

which provides day-to-day services to the customers. Every day it receives deposits from

the customers and meets their demand for cash by honoring cheques. It opens new

accounts, remit funds, issues bank drafts and pay orders etc. Since bank is confined to

provide the services everyday, general banking is also known as „retail banking‟.

3.2 Account Opening Section

To establish a banker and customer relationship account opening is the first step. Opening

of an account binds the Banker and customer into contractual relationship. But selection

of customer for opening an account is very crucial for a Bank. Indeed, fraud and forgery

of all kinds start by opening account. So, the Bank takes extremely cautious measure in

its selection of customers. The following works are done by this section-

1. Accepting of deposit

2. Opening of account

3. Check book issue

4. Closing of account

3.3 Accepting of deposit

Accepting deposits is one of the main classic functions of banks. The relationship

between a banker and his customer begins with the opening of an account by the former

in the name of the latter. Initially all the accounts are opened with a deposit of money by

the customer and hence these accounts are called deposits accounts. Banker solicits

deposits from the members of the public belonging to different lifestyles, engaged in

numerous economic activities and having different financial status. There are two officers

performing various functions in this department.

Page 15: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

3.4 Opening an Account

It is said that, there is no banker customer relationship if there is no a/c of a person in that

bank. By opening an a/c banker and customer create a contractual relationship. However,

selection of customer for opening an account is very crucial for a Bank.

3.10 Clearing Section

This section receives all kinds of Cheques in favor of the client for clearing as the part of

their banking service. After receiving the Cheque it is necessary to endorse it and cross it

specially. Basically the Cheques for clearing are of following types:

the Cheque to that

branch of our bank

and that branch

collects the proceeds

through clearing

house formalities and

sends an IBCA to us.

In second way, if

there is no branch of

our bank, then we

directly sends the

Cheque to the drawer

bank and request

them to send the

proceeds by PO or

DD or by in any other

means

Unlike Cheque, there is no possibility of

dishonoring of PO / DD / TT because before

issuing, issuing bank takes out the amount of

the instrument in advance from the customer –

common for all instruments

Received for Collection: It will be given at the deposit slip.

Received too late for Collection: In case an Instrument if it is present for clearance after

the Banking hour, then this seal is given at the deposit slip.

Branch Crossing: Authorized officer put branch crossing at the face of instrument for

clearance.

Payee A/C credited: When an instrument is received by the clearance section then this

seal is put at the backside of the instrument.

Date: Date will place at the face of the instrument along with collection seal.

3.11 Money Transaction

Sending/Transfer money from one place to another place for the customer is another

important service of banks. And this service is an important part of country‟s payment

system. For this service, people, especially businessmen can transfer funds from one

place to another place very quickly.

Demand Draft

Pay Order

Online Transaction

The bank followed modern online transaction (payment & withdrawal of fund) through

high-speed WAN service. It is remarkable that customers are often taking advantage of

the online transaction. The charges of online transaction are tabled below. It should be

mentioned that, there is no commission and fee charged in online transaction inside the

Page 24: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

clearinghouse. In case of outside the clearinghouse, commission is tk.0.10 and 15% VAT

on the commission. The minimum charge is tk.0.10 commission and VAT on it.

3.12 Accounts Department

Accounts Department is called as the nerve Centre of the bank. In banking business,

transactions are done every day and these transactions are to be recorded properly

and systematically as the banks deal with the depositors‟ money. Any deviation in

proper recording may hamper public confidence and the bank has to suffer a lot

otherwise. Improper recording of transactions will lead to the mismatch in the debit

side and in the credit side. To avoid these mishaps, the bank provides a separate

department; whose function is to check the mistakes in passing vouchers or wrong

entries or fraud or forgery. This department is called as Accounts Department.

Besides the above, the bank has to prepare some internal statements as well as some

statutory statements which to be submitted to the central bank. Accounts

Department prepares these statements also. The department has to submit some

statements to the Head office, which is also consolidated by the Head Office later

on. The tasks of the department may be seen in two different angles:

1. Daily task:

The routine daily tasks of the Accounts Department are as follows, -

Recording the transactions in the cashbook.

Recording the transactions in general and subsidiary ledger.

Preparing the daily position of the branch comprising of deposit and cash.

Preparing the daily Statement of Affairs showing all the assets and liability of the

branch as per General Ledger and Subsidiary Ledger separately.

Making payment of all the expenses of the branch.

Recording inter branch fund transfer and providing accounting treatment in this

regard.

Checking whether all the vouchers are correctly passed to ensure the conformity with

the „Activity Report‟; if otherwise making it correct by calling the respective official

to rectify the voucher.

Recording of the vouchers in the Voucher Register.

Page 26: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

Packing of the correct vouchers according to the debit voucher and the credit voucher.

2. Periodic task:

Preparing the monthly salary statements for the employees.

Publishing the basic data of the branch.

Preparing the weekly position for the branch which is sent to the Head Office to

maintain Cash Reserve Requirement (C.R.R)

Preparing the monthly position for the branch which is sent to the Head Office to

maintain Statutory Liquidity Requirement (S.L.R)

Preparing the weekly position for the branch comprising of the breakup of sector wise

deposit, credit etc.

Preparing the weekly position for the branch comprising of denomination wise

statement of cash in tills.

Preparing the budget for the branch by fixing the target regarding profit and deposit

so as to take necessary steps to generate and mobilize deposit.

Preparing an „Extract‟ which is a summary of all the transactions of the Head Office

account with the branch to reconcile all the transactions held among the accounts of

all the branches.

In my 3 months internship experience at JBL Dilkusha branch I mainly got the chance to

work with the front desk, accounts and clearing section of general banking rather than

cash section. Therefore I have very little idea about this section which I have presented

below-

3.13 Cash Section

Cash department is the most vital and sensitive organ of the branch as it deals with all

kinds of cash transactions. This department starts the day with cash in vault. Each day

some cash that is opening cash balance are transferred to the cash officers from the cash

vault. Net figure of this cash receipts and payments are added to the opening cash

balance. The figure is called closing balance. This closing balance is then added to the

Page 27: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

vault. And this is the final cash balance figure for the bank at the end of any particular

day.

4.2 Management Standards of Jamuna Bank

4.2.1.1 Leadership: First of all we will judge the leadership capabilities of the sample

institution. For this, we will be assuming different leadership attributes which discover

the actual scenario.

According to, (Maurice Elias, 2014), There are Seven Characteristics of Highly Effective

Leaders, By depicting this model to analyze the leadership situation of our sample we

find that.

Attributes Highly Effective Jamuna Bank

A Sense of Purpose

Justice

Temperance X

Respect X

Empowerment X

Courage

Deep Commitment

Source: Author

The Branch has a great leader, pioneer in banking and awarded couple of times, But, The

superiors who were considered as the leaders have lack of key qualities as observed.

4.2.1.2 Business Ethics: On the parameter of Groan and Wood, We can see That Business

Ethics has dependent and independent variables.

Page 30: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

Source: (Sevenseon, 2008)

Our Sample Branch has not been successfully met following variables in their work

commitment.

Expectations Perceptions Evaluations

International Business

with Integrity

Customer Relationships Law full Behavior

Increased Education Competitor Relationships Better Corporate Citizens

Socially Responsible

Managers

Environment Friendly

Employee Related

Source : Author

Hence, We didn‟t find any Quality council and Quality statements initiated by the C.E.O

at our Sample Branch.

4.2.2 Customer Satisfaction: The customer base of the branch is constituted of Mid-Level

Business Entrepreneurs (Sigma Lubricants, Partex Pvc, Partex Furniture‟s, Jamuna Bank

Capital Management, Shadharan Bima Corp Etc, Not exceeding value 20 cores BDT ).

They are provided services in day to day basis by the branch. We have seen following

errors in against of customer satisfaction, in addition an empirical hypothesis study of this

section has been conducted elsewhere of the report.

Types Degree Situation

Perceive of Quality High Unsatisfied

Feedback Low Unsatisfied

Using Customer Low Unsatisfied

Page 31: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

Complaints

Service Quality Low Unsatisfied

Translating needs into

requirements

Slow Unsatisfied

Retention Nil* Unsatisfied**

Source: By Author

*It has been not seen that the clients are decreasing but it can be forecasted after

acknowledging the branch‟s service that they will be unsuccessful to retain their

customers.

** It can‟t be said that overall customers are unsatisfied with the service, there are quite a

good numbers of satisfied customers of the branch, but findings suggests that, if they

don‟t push themselves for better quality output, they will lose their ground.

4.2.3 Employee Engagement: The branch takes minimum measure to engage employees

into the mainstream of economic sustainability and growth. Considering some measures

it is scrutinized into terms.

Expectation Reality

Motivation Unavailable

Employee Surveys Unavailable

Empowerment Unavailable

Teams Available But not Active

Suggestion Teams Unavailable

Recognition and Reward Available

Gain sharing Available

Performance Appraisal Unavailable

Unions Unavailable

Source: By Author

There are teams at the branch, but co-ordination, cohesion is not at desired terms. Such

scenario suggesting that the branch has no employee engagement and they are unaware of

the positive relationship between employee engagement and economic growth.

4.2.4 Continuous Process Improvement: It has been seen that there are no active forces to

ensure its continuous process improvement.

4.2.4.1 Juran Triology is consisted of Planning, Control and Improvement. As per as to

Juran, it is very important to understand customer needs and the requirement which

applies to all those involved in marketing, designing, manufacturing, and services. To

identify the customer's needs is to require more powerful analysis and understanding to

reach the product meets of the customers' needs and is to fit for its intended use, and it's

not just meeting product specifications. Thus here the market research is essential for

Page 32: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

identifying customers' needs and in order to ensure design quality, as he proposed that the

use of techniques given by him includes quality function deployment, experimental

design, reliability engineering and concurrent engineering(Uk Essays.com).

Our study reveals that the branch has adopted minimum control measures and there is a

sloth tendency towards improvement. Branch employees has given enough freedom to

perform tasks, but there is no review of work process for efficiency, or thrive for more

productivity. Weaker control shows weaker areas on improvement.

4.2.4.2 According to PDSA cycle which comprises of seven co-related phases. The first

two phases, of Pareto analyses to analyze repetitive external alarm, and internal alarm

signals, are not being conducted here. So, it is clear that our branch don‟t use PDSA cycle

as a tool of its problem solving.

4.2.4.3 Kaizen is a Japanese word for the philosophy that defines management‟s role in

continuously encouraging and implementing small improvements involving everyone

(Gleen, 1996). We will now analyze the firm‟s dedication to kaizen:

Attributes Availability

Value Added and Non – Value Added

Work Activities

Moderately important for the firm to

focus on non-value added activities,

Muda Seven classes of waste-over

production, delay, transportation,

processing, wasted motion, and

defective parts. There is high

contribution of the firm on these

seven classes of waste.

Motion Study Not Available

Team Dynamics Not maintained (problem solving,

resolution )

Source: By Author

From the above analysis we can say that, Kaizen is not maintained by our sample branch.

4.2.4.4 Six Sigma: Six Sigma is an important advance in quality management and

process improvement in the last two decades. Six Sigma has gained wide popularity in

various types of organizations since the 1990s. Most Fortune 500 companies have

adopted Six Sigma (Goh, 2002). Comparing to its impressive track records in practices,

research on Six Sigma was at a rather low level due to several reasons. Some scholars

view Six Sigma as applying a set of statistical tools and techniques (e.g., Das et al.,

2008).

It has been seemed that the firm has no Six Sigma adoption activities in its daily

activities. There are no track records of work process. We think the branch determines its

success on its final output.

4.2.5. Benchmarking: Our sample didn‟t have any benchmark to compare its standards

and push the activities to fall into acceptance zone of standard. As there is no use of

measuring actual standard it is obvious that the firm‟s philosophy don‟t follow

Benchmarking as a managerial improvement tool.

4.2.6 Information Technology: To conform to the Bangladesh Bank Law and Compliance

the Firm uses Flora Software to process its transaction. It has been practically observed

that the Software is a key tool for firm‟s success. As, Seventy Five percent of the General

banking activities depends on the data processed and artificial intelligence of the

software. Infect, All the involved departments do their work process on this software. So,

Final Output is mostly depended on the information provided by the software. Now, We

will Analyze the software whether it is viable to the standard technological implication

for our sample or not.

Information Quality Issues Attributes of Flora at Branch

Sufficiency High

Accuracy High

Timeliness Very Low

Intellectual Property High

Security Moderate – Access Security; Low- Transaction

Security,

Cybercrime Possibility High

Privacy Low

Page 34: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

Pollution High, Too Much Out dated information at

Database

Creativity Moderate But Helpful, Not Satisfactory

Control and Prevention Moderate, (Dedicated Engineers are there, but

Firewall and Up gradations is not Up to the

mark)

Source: By Author

The firm also doesn‟t focus on future requirement or breakthrough innovations that could

change the firms‟ profit base into more productive one, Then at is software although

meeting current needs of the bank, Future orientation should be started as, Banking

industry is a highly competitive Bangladesh.

4.2.7 Quality Management System: Regular Audits is being conducted, and

Documentation is maintained. But, the implementations of the audit suggestions are rare

and even if conducted the construction is slow in progress.

4.2.8 Environment Management System: The Most Pioneer Environment Management

System model has been provided by ISO 14001. That is as Follows:

Source: International Organization for Standardization

Our findings show that the Branch didn‟t follow any environmental policy to protect and

be responsible to the society as well as stakeholders.

4.2.9 Quality Function Deployment:

Page 35: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

Quality Function Deployment is a tool for bringing the voice of the customer into the

product development process from conceptual design through to manufacturing. It begins

with a matrix that links customer desires to product engineering requirements, along with

competitive benchmarking information, and further matrices can be used to ultimately

link this to design of the manufacturing system (Cristiano et. Al 2003).

Whether the Firm deploys any quality function or not is being checked on following

attributes:

Required Situation

The QFD team Not Available

The Voice of The Customer Not Acknowledged

Organization of Information No tendency to be

House of Quality Not Available

Decision: Threes no QFD process followed by

the Studied Sample Branch

Source: By Author

4.2.10 Use of Management Tools:

We will now check the firm‟s using of standard management tools for effective decision

making. As, such tools are important to accurate goal setting and desired output,

Assuming that only profit couldn‟t convey the actual standard of the Financial Institution.

Standards Use

Forced Field Analyses Not Used

Nominal Group Technique Not Used

Affinity Diagram Not Used

Interrelationship Digraph Not Used

Tree Diagram Not Used

Matrix Diagram Not Used

Process Decision Program Chart Not Used

Activity Network Diagram Used in Training Manuals Only

Statistical Process Control Not Used

Source: By Author

This shows, How poor the firm is in decision making efficiency, as Neither tools are

taken in account for its decision making.

Now, We will skeptically discuss the Bank‟s negative marketing, as the Conveyed values

of The Bank haven‟t been found in product delivery to the customers.

4.3 Cross– Table Analyses of Firms Strategic Planning and Commitment with

Significance:

Page 36: General Banking Activities of Jamuna bank

What The Bank Delivers as its strategic planning and commitment towards clients

whether they conform to it or not is being analyzed in this section.

Cross Table Analyses of Strategic Planning and Commitment Analysis

Particulars Significance Review

Vision Vision statement provides that the bank‟s vision is to be a leading

Bank in the country. But the way bank operates its activities can be

labeled as middle, somewhere as lower middle category, considering

its overall

1. Service Quality

2. Employee Motivation

3. Customer Satisfaction

4. Leadership Development

5. And employee performance, where Management concerns to

change these situations is so little.

Mission Mission statement follows that the customer services should be

provided on timely basis. But we found that due to lack of

1. Job experience

2. Business Information

3. And efficiency and effectiveness,

Timeliness cannot be maintained.

Objectives Objectives that still not achieved or poorly achieved:

A. Improved services

B. Establishing Relationship Banking

C. Maintaining adequate control systems and transparency in

6.1 Recommendations

a) The Firms Management Standards are not Up to the mark as shown, So it is

inevitable to strengthen its management.

b) For enhancing The capacity of Management, The Firm might engage consultation.

c) Firm shown too much confident about its customer‟s, Despite the poor customer

service of the bank. The Firm should re-check its customer base and Use

benchmark practices to satisfy and retain customers.

d) It has been seen that, the Firm, didn‟t comply with the Policy and Rules which it

has self made. The Actual practices are way too differing than its strategic

planning. So, Management should conduct control mechanism and review the

planning process.

e) Qualification-Requirement Model illustrates the lack of qualities among the

employees in various genre.

f) The analysis of the Management Standards of the Bank has given a proper view

of the Firm‟s lickings in multiple sectors. All the clusters should be audited and

reviewed for the improvement of the firm.

g) Employee satisfaction survey has been seen as a non-priority issue for the firm.

But, It should not forget that employees are the heart of an institution. More

intensively survey should be made and according to the results adjustments

should be intensified.

h) Customer complaints, service are not up to the mark for the firm. The study

forecasted that clients will be hard to retain for the firm. In no time such actions

should be taken to ensure customer satisfaction.

i) The overall profile of the bank suggests that it has the potential to be a pioneer in

banking industry. But, For that, It should seriously look over the flaws the study

has suggested. Otherwise, competition of the industry is ever competitive to grasp

a loose one.

6.2 Conclusion

evaluating the standards of this activities. Threes lot more scope to understand and

evaluate these activities which were not possible due to various kinds of technical

limitations. But I think, This report will provide a standard format for future research and

proceedings.
