Bank
There is no single definition of bank. Different experts have different opinion about the term bank. Mostly experts said that bank words are originated from two words Baucus or Banqui which means bench.

According to Kent: A bank is an organization whose principle operations are concerned with the accumulation of the temporarily idle money of the general public for the purpose of advancing it to others for expenditure

According to Crowther Bank is a dealer in debts---his own and of other people.

Brief Introduction of Banking Sector


Banking in its modern form and structure started in Britain when many of the Lombardy merchants came to England in the fourteenth century and settled in the parts of the city of London, now called Lombard Street. The early banker Jews in Lombardy transacted their business at benches in the market place. When a banker failed, his banco was destroyed by the people. This practice gave rise to the word bankrupt. Over the period of time they discovered that large sum of the money were left in their custody for long periods; which suggested the use of cash to advance loans to other person for a fixed period of time and considerably high rate of interest. Thus began the issue and deposit banking of the modern times. Some of the enterprising goldsmiths issued cheque books for the attraction of their customers; and thus another step in the evolution of banking had taken place.

History of Banking in Pakistan


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. are settled between India and Pakistan. The nonMuslims 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 Australasia 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-E-Azam Muhammal Ali Jinah 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 banks Saving banks Co-operative banks Specialized credit institutions

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.

Management Styles
Managers have to perform many roles in an organization and how they handle various situations will depend on their style of management. A management style is an overall method of leadership used by a manager. There are two sharply contrasting styles that will be broken down into smaller subsets later:

Autocratic Permissive

Each style has its own characteristics: Autocratic: Leader makes all decisions unilaterally. Permissive: Leader permits subordinates to take part in decision making and also gives them a considerable degree of autonomy in completing routine work activities. Combining these categories with democratic (subordinates are allowed to participate in decision making) and directive (subordinates are told exactly how to do their jobs) styles give us four distinct ways to manage: Directive Democrat: Makes decisions with participation of all people. Supervisor closely supervises subordinates. Directive Autocrat: Makes decisions unilaterally. Supervisor closely supervises subordinates. Permissive Democrat: Makes decisions participation of all people. It gives subordinates latitude in carrying out their work. Permissive Autocrat: Makes decisions unilaterally. It gives subordinates latitude in carrying out their work. Managers must also adjust their styles according to the situation that they are presented with. Below are four quadrants of situational leadership that depend on the amount of support and guidance needed: Telling: Works best when employees are neither willing nor able to do the job (high need of support and high need of guidance).

University of the Punjab, Gujranwala Campus

79

Delegating: Works best when the employees are willing to do the job and know how to go about it (low need of support and low need of guidance). Participating: Works best when employees have the ability to do the job, but need a high amount of support (low need of guidance but high need of support). Selling: Works best when employees are willing to do the job, but dont know how to do it (low need of support but high need of guidance). The different styles depend on the situation and the relationship behavior (amount of support required) and task behavior (amount of guidance required).

Critical Analysis
Activity The effectiveness of management towards utilization of resources is favorable in current year as compared to base year as the indicator calculated has shown favorable results. The positive activity of the Muslim Commercial Bank is majorly because of increase in earning assets which is about 17.7%. Profitability

The analysis of the ability of the business to generate return for the owner indicates that it is unfavorable in current year in comparison with base year as all the indicators calculated analyze the firms performance relating to the owner is decreasing. The major reason of this decrease in profitability is associated with increase in earning assets which is 17.7% and decrease in net margin which is 8.24%.
Debt to Equity Ratio The debt to equity ratio of MCB indicates a favorable impact. As the deposits of a bank show the worth of the bank so the increasing ratio indicates the increasing worth of the bank. At the same time decreasing ratio is also favorable because it shows the solvency of the bank. So in this case the ratio is decreasing showing the solvency of the bank. The decrease in the ratio is majorly associated with increase in capital by 14.58%. Loan loss coverage ratio

This ratio indicates the companys ability to cover the loan losses. The result of the ratio indicates that the companys ability to cover the loan losses is favorable in current year. The increase in ratio is associated with increase in pretax income by 1.81% and a major decrease in bad debts by 99%.
Loan to Deposits

The liquidity ratio of the company indicates that the liquidity of MCB is unfavorable in current year as compared to the base year. The decrease in liquidity is majorly associated with increase in deposits which is 10.96%. The increase in loans (4.98%) is less than the increase in Deposits, thats why the resultant impact is negative.

Critical Analysis The analysis of the company with respect to the strength of the company in the market indicates that the companys overall performance is better and has better market potential in the comparative years concerned as the majority of the indicators relating to the market potential are favorable in current year as compared to base year. The reason for the favorable market strength of the company is increase in market price of the share by about 55.8%. The investor is much more satisfied as for as its return is concerned because of high dividend in current year. As for as internal potential of the company is concerned, it is favorable in current year as the dividend payout ratio is favorable in current year. The increase in dividend payout ratio is majorly associated with the decrease in earnings per share by 2.02% and increase in cash dividend. The increase in the market value boosts the investment for the company as it indicates the external potential of the company. Moreover the gap between market value and book value in current year is more than the base year which indicates that in current year more speculation factors involved. In a nut shell, the entire analysis concludes that the company is good both externally and internally which shows that it can attract and retain the investors. However room for the improvement is there.

Marketing Strategies in MCB

University of the Punjab, Gujranwala Campus

111

Segmentation Strategy
Marketing consist of buyers, and buyers differs in one or more ways. Customers are different in their need, wants, resources, locations, buying, attitude and buying practices. MCB is also using segmentation strategy by dividing the whole market into segments and search the right customer for their right product. Banks do segment demographically and geographically. In demographical segmentation, banks differentiate customers by their age, gender, education and in geographical segmentation, customers are separate by their area. Through segmentation banks divide large heterogeneous markets into smaller segments that can be reached more effectively with products and services. MCB segments its customers. For example, if the customer is near to retire, MCB offers the MCB Retire Easy Plan for the persons who are retiring from their jobs.

Target Marketing Strategy


Target marketing means after segmentation of the area, now you have to target your customers. You have to find out the right customer for the right product. Develop measures for segment attractiveness, select target market. MCB targets all types of customers in the country. Suppose MCB has branch in the market area where all shop are around the bank so MCBs target is all shopkeeper and for their better business allow them to open an current account ,single account, joint account ,business account. MCB allows the customer to open account which is suitable for him/her.

Product Planning, Development & Management


Product planning and development means develop a product according to your customers needs, wants and demands and give features what the customer wants. Every product is made by the head office of the MCB. Promotional activities update the features and benefits about the product and this is settled by marketing department of the MCB.

Price has been the major factor affecting the buyer/consumer choice. This is also another method to help banks overall performance. Before setting price the employee must look the relationship between price and demand. Pricing strategy is the most important strategy because price can generate revenue of the product and price tells the worth of the product. It is so difficult process to estimate the mind of the customer that he will adapt this product with the offering pricing or not. MCB charges different price with the different product and services .Suppose you are availing the benefit of ATM card so you have to pay 500 per year and if you are having any locker of small size, then you are paying 1500 to 1800 to the banks as service charges.

Maintaining an Excessive Earning Acceleration, this is expected to result in substantial value enhancement for investors. EUROMONEY Awards of Best Bank in Pakistan for best bank in Pakistan, plus the accolade of best domestic band in Pakistan. Extensive Management Restructuring to translate into bottom line improvement for going forward. This includes induction of professionals in strategic business areas, shedding surplus staff and shutting down loss making low potential branches. From 1996 onwards some 350 Branches were closed down & releasing staff of approx 4600 with golden handshake. Larger Market Share: MCB accounts for 10.4% of total assets, 10.0% of deposits and 11% of loans in the banking system. So it has a clear edge over smaller banks. Striving for income: New Team after massive restructuring is looking to strive for greater operating income.

120

initiative to introduced new schemes regarding its product and services. In this way, it continuously made improvement in its employees and services. Employee Respect and Dignity: Every employee in the organization is given due respect and honor irrespective of its status and level. Employees feel proud to be a part of the MCB. Quest for Quality: MCB bank always try to give its customers quality product and services to keep them permanent client of the bank. It always uses different channels to improve the quality.

Weaknesses
The majority of people are not well aware about the products of MCB. Therefore it should advertise extensively especially RTC and Master Cards. 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. In MCB there is lack of specialized skills because of job rotation policy of human resource department. The bank should concentrate upon increasing its abilities on individual service basis. Mismanagement of time is another big mistake in MCB branches, the bank official time of closing is 5:30pm but due mismanaging of time allocation and work the staff is normally on their seats till 7:00 or 8:00 clock. Process of development is bit slow due to its conservative approach. Never prefer to be a leader and prefer to be a follower of others. Slow improvement and acceptance of technological changes. More emphasis on deposit accumulation and less on their mobilization. Decision making process is very slow. It is not having greater no. of branches abroad. Though ATM network is the largest in Pakistan, still some potential areas dont have the ATM. MCB RTC is useable only in Pakistan. Some management positrons needed are not professional. Although most of the branches are computerized now, still some important branches dont have computers. Low motivational level; non-aggressive marketing. Employees dissatisfaction due to ill treatment and improper reward system.

Favoritism and Nepotism in recruitment.

University of the Punjab, Gujranwala Campus

121

Interest rate is inadequate. Extensive Management Restructuring though beneficial has some negative
impacts on the existing performance of work. Such large scale restructuring results in too much load on single person plus the fear of being fired from the job at any moment. It is extremely condemnable that sometime a circular is kept clandestine and not disclose to the staff by the branch managers which is in line with their needs due to some inexplicit ulterior motives. Lack of Job Rotation: Job rotation has not been given due consideration and employees get bored due to monotony. No Conspicuous rise in Staff Salary. Management apart from lack of other employees benefit funds, nothing is done to enhance the staff salary to be used as basic motivational factors in an effort to cut down the administrative cost by the management.

Opportunities Greater potential and opportunities for Credit Division if Liberal Policies
being adopted.

MCB can grab more market share for its RTCs, remittances and forex
department through effective promotional and liberal policies.

Inclusion of highly qualified professional can change the whole scenario


and position of the bank if they have given the due liberty in performing their duties. Adoption of information technology will improve the customer services.

More mobilization of accumulated deposit is possible through innovative


financing to Agro Based Sector. Leasing sector is growing in Pakistan for the last two to three years which provides opportunity to MCB to go ahead in this area as well. MCB is providing Consumer Finances at comparatively lower rates which paves a way to grab more customers Financing to small/medium cottage industries will definitely increase its advances and profitability as well.

Islamic Trading Based Banking can enhance the business of the bank. Targeting of Hundi / Hawalla through networking and IT potential of MCB. Profitability is expected to strengthen despite decline in interest rate. The drop in interest rates is expected to spur the private sector credit growth in an effort to kick-start the dormant economy serving as impetus for productivity activity in economy; which is likely to compensate for lower interest margins that result from less than proportionate drop in deposit rates. Banking sector fundamentals improving; on the back of economic stabilization, improved monetary and foreign exchange reserves

management by the central bank and drive against loan defaulters. MCB with its large branch network and huge diversified clientele is placed to benefit from lower NPLs, a new dynamic and cost conscious management, and greater credit demand on the back of governments conscious initiative towards a deflationary monetary policy. MCB to show growth in value creation. More Focus on consumer banking activities. Strong earnings momentum expected in future, through focus on loan book growth, efficient utilization of idle cash and declining NPL. Deposit expected to grow in future: The Governments decision to lower interest rates has challenged the banking sector, including MCB, on the deposit mobilization front. At the same, however, MCBs large branch network coupled with its excellent market standing compared with other banks offering similar returns on deposits is expected to retain even bolster its deposit base in future at the expense of less efficient public Sector competitors.

Threats
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. 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. Employees unions have been allowed if not managed properly can affect performance. 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. Introduction of credit marketing by local and foreign banks is badly affecting the mobilization of the MCBs deposits due to the non presence of such department in it. Other private commercial bank with sound profitability is also a threat to MCB e.g. UBL, Al falah, HBL etc. For the last of many years, Pakistan is facing economic and political instability which is a big threat. Afghan war and Iraq war has a deep effect on the economy of Pakistan, which may affect MCB. Foreign banks are flourishing in field of consumer financing. People dont prefer banking culture. They mostly prefer cash transactions. MCB since 1996 is performing well in all most every department at national level particularly. However if there is some competition that MCB may expect to face come from the four nationalized commercial banks, which compete with the MCB in terms of deposit mobilization at retail level. Other banks working on the same phenomena seeking for proficient and efficient staff is expected to enamor qualified and experienced employees

of organization by offering some brilliant incentives in the form of high salary and other benevolent funds and this thing may also attract existing efficient staff of MCB. To some extent they seem to be effective in their efforts.

PEST Analysis of MCB

University of the Punjab, Gujranwala Campus

127

Political
Employment practices are expected to change. Unions, Associations are being allowed to work effectively which can affect the performance of the company both positively or negatively. Political interference regarding policies is expected to increase as current government is in race of power gain. Due to lack of confidence on government investor is reluctant so mobilization of funds is going to decrease.

Economical
Inflation is very high which will decrease the demand as purchasing power is decreasing. Staff cost is increasing as basic wage rate has increased and inflation has compelled to will compel to increase salaries. Operating costs are increasing due to inflation. Interest rate is increasing so loan taking has decreased. Value of rupee is decreasing which is pressurizing the economy.

Social and Cultural


Lack of experts is in our country regarding management hence innovative activities are slow and conventional methods are adopted. Cultural strain to savings is the reason due to which investment remains low. Declining work ethics is also our problem which is mainly due to poverty and lack of training. Inadequate Accountability, lack of good governance and lack of good infrastructure helps creditor to cheat and heavy bad debts occur. Same situation is hoped to prevail. Inadequate Empowerment is also a usual problem in our organization as every person want to get more power hence there is less delegation of authority and decision making.

128

Technological
MCB has computerized its most of the branches but still some are manual there is need to computerized otherwise customers will get bad image. Now a days computerized system is used by banks which is very effective. But MCB will have to improve its computerized technology as some fake transactions occur by ATM. Shortage of electricity is a big problem,

Employees of each organization need IT training and organization has this


trend. MCB will have to follow it.

During the Internship, I worked in various operations as general banking including cash operation, clearing remittances, ATM, account opening procedure and advances.

I prepared remittance slips and learned to apply tests on TT and MT. I processed the Inward cheques for collection and clearance, and have also prepared vouchers.

Future Outlook of MCB


The effectiveness of the economic reforms was the main concern in 2011 as the country is highly volatile with respect to the systematic risks. The pace of the growth of loan infection is likely to reduce in the coming quarters. The maintenance of the discount rates is the key factor to curtail the inflationary pressure on the cost of credit. Infrastructural developments, control on war on terror, power shortage mitigation, encouraging the private sector, trim in the political instability and the sustainability of the tax reforms in order to meet the international debt are the likely factors of focus in the upcoming year. We are hopeful, given the increasing foreign reserves and reviving investor confidence, the economic conditions will be comfortably better than previous years. From the Banks perspective, the focus will be provision of value added services via operational expansion and technological improvements. Effectiveness of the Banks risk management systems, capitalization on low cost liability franchise, disciplined expense growth, expansion of our capital base and strengthened compliance culture are primary factors in depicting continued strong financial soundness. Effective leadership with a clear vision is the key element of long term sustainability leading to highest levels of employee satisfaction and our aim is to build cohesive teams and strong ethical standards. We will strive to enhance our domestic as well as global image to take the Bank from strong to stronger. Corporate Awards and Recognition The Annual Report of the Bank for the year 2009 won: Accountants of Pakistan and the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Pakistan Certificate of Merit Award in the Banking Sector subject to Prudential Supervision category by the South Asia Federation of Accountants (SAFA), an APEC body of the SAARC region. MCB is also listed as one of the top 25 listed companies acknowledged by the Karachi Stock Exchange.

Recommendations and Suggestions


From the quantum of the profit and its financial data, it can easily judged that after privatization Muslim Commercial Bank is performing very well. Its deposits are growing day-by-day and so its profitability. The controlling body is responsible for the productive performance of the bank. Following are my observations and suggestion to improve the efficiency for the development of the bank. Increase in Profits People can be motivated to save money by offering the deposit through various investment schemes. The rate of profit should increase 1% or 2 % it would be profitable step for bank. Increase Salaries MCB is making good profits but giving less pay to their employees as compared to their competitors. So their salaries should be increased. Change the Nature of Work 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. Their promotion policy should be adjusted accordingly. Training Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to other countries and employees from other branches should be brought here. Some more reading material should be provided the purpose should be to educate the employees with the advance studies in their field. The employee should be provided the opportunities to attend and participate in seminars and lectures on banking. Incentive to Employees Bank should give some more incentive to its employees in order to remove the conflict between lower and higher officers and should try to improve the working condition of the bank. Such system should be designed that every employee who has some problems with his officers can communicate to the higher management and some steps must be taken to improve that.

Performance and Reward Smart, educated, skilled, well spoken and well versed staff personals should be rewarded and appreciated, while on the other hand lazy, lethargic, heard, roughdealers and ill mannered must be warned and penalized but this all should be on merit and considering the policy of honesty is the best policy and not due to some personal liking, disliking prejudice and patrimonial. It is therefore suggested certain schemes and checks may be introduced in banks to increase efficiency through reward and punishment system. Promotion and 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. More Focus on Salary Accounts Logic leads to promotional campaign through employers who are customers of the banks and their employees are paid in cash. Such business accounts should be encouraged to open the accounts of their employees with the banks. It might be worth offering free banking for a specific period to new accounts or simply publicizing the services available by means of posters at the employers premises. Internship Facilities The period of internship should be divided in to the number of department of the Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. The internee should be given timetable mentioning the number of days he/she has to work at different places in the bank. On the first 4 days in each department internee should be given a lecture the officer of the department concerned about working of the department.

Some other Recommendations for MCB


MCB should try to in range the current ratio for getting short term financial strength. MCB should measure the liquidity risk through its designed framework time to time to reduce the liquidity risk position of the bank MCB should control its Administrative expenses it has been rose as compare to previous years

The strength of the bank is enough strong, but there is need to increase to deposit to compete the market. In the light of above suggestion, MCB should increase its branch network to get maximum deposit and increase its sales. MCB should encourage the employee through offering them effective performance appraisal system MCB should hire a skilled person highly professional staff for bank efficiency

Conclusion
As I have studied and analyzed MCB Bank Ltd I found out that this a good bank as its working, management is concerned. First of all the reason of this is that there is no directive style in the management of MCB and which shows that there is decentralization in the Bank and every branch manager can take decision according to the situation. MCB is providing their customers with wide range of services including online banking, virtual banking and some of their new products in the pipeline; include ATM network etc shows that MCB Bank is taking good care of their customers. MCB Bank made heavy investments, towards enhancing its capabilities in the area of automation and technology. MCB is well positioned to meet client needs, with improved competitive advantage. During my stay at Bank, MCB I have observed that some people are over burdened and some people used to sit idle for most of their working hours. There should be work load analysis for all employees and work load should be distributed respectively keeping in view the capacities and capabilities of employees. The bank should improve its online transaction system and intranet. As system failure is encountered often. New marketing strategies should be developed to attract customers. A research cell should continuously try to gather information about the present action of its competitors and their expected future actions. So in this way more effective strategies can be formulated. The performance reward linkages should be made strong as it said, A happy employee deliver more than he receive from organization. MCB Bank limited should become specific about its competitors, so that it can understand who its competitor is in the first degree and who is in the second degree. Then the first-degree competitors should be watched closely. MCB should continuously conduct its financial analysis and compare it with that of other banks. In this way consciousness about the banks financial matters will tend to improve. More training and development programs should be launched in order to clear the concepts of employees about new products and banking techniques. And from the financial records when I conduct comparative analysis with other banks I found that it is somewhat better than others and from the analysis of previous year I concluded that it is improving and in 2011. Profits are more than the previous year. So I can say that MCB Bank is performing very well.
