General Banking Activities of Jamuna Bank
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 indepth 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
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).
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 reevaluation - 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
accompanywide 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
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
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:

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. Thats 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

4.
A)
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.

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 section1.

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,
Packing of the correct vouchers according to the debit voucher and the credit voucher.
2.
Periodic task:
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
below3.13 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
vault. And this is the final cash balance figure for the bank at the end of any particular
day.

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.

*It has been not seen that the clients are decreasing but it can be forecasted after
acknowledging the branchs service that they will be unsuccessful to retain their
customers.
** It cant 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
dont 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.

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
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 dont use PDSA cycle
as a tool of its problem solving.
4.2.4.3 Kaizen is a Japanese word for the philosophy that defines managements role in
continuously encouraging and implementing small improvements involving everyone
(Gleen, 1996). We will now analyze the firms dedication to kaizen:

Moderately important for the firm to
focus on non-value added activities,
Seven

waste-over
production, delay, transportation,
processing, wasted motion, and
defective parts. There is high
contribution of the firm on these
seven classes of waste.

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 didnt 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 firms philosophy dont 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 firms 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.

The firm also doesnt 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:
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

The Voice of The Customer

4.2.10 Use of Management Tools:
We will now check the firms 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 couldnt convey the actual standard of the Financial Institution.

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 Banks negative marketing, as the Conveyed values
of The Bank havent been found in product delivery to the customers.
4.3 Cross Table Analyses of Firms Strategic Planning and Commitment with
Significance:
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

Vision
Vision statement provides that the banks 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.

6.1 Recommendations
6.2 Conclusion
This Internship report is a road mark for understanding general banking approaches
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.
