PRICE:
"The amount of money that customers pay for the product"
Price should be commensurate with the offers perceived value. If it is not, customers will turn to
competitor's product. Prices offered by MCB Bank Limited are according to the high quality
services they render to their customers.
About the markup charges its vary banks to banks but not very much difference according to my
analysis. MCB bank has different tenure to different products so and also the different rates to
charge. They believe in the higher the amount the higher the profit.

PLACE:
"Place includes the various activities the company undertakes to make the product accessible
and available to the customer".
They also have a banking network of more than 950 branches. If you want financial advice, walk
into any of their branches. Head office and Main office is on the in Karachi, which is the center
of business activity. Locations of MCB Bank depend on the locality around and how much
business it supports. The services provided to customers too depend on the location of the branch

their brochures and pamphlets so that the information is communicated to a large number of
people. They distribute calendars, diaries and key chains to their officers and customers.
No doubt MCB bank is doing promotion activities very strongly. The marketing department
knows the competitive environment very well. And the department is working very well in this
context. Promotion managers are using every media to advertise their products as others banks

Good corporate citizenship.


The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) has maintained the long-term and short
term entity ratings of MCB Bank Limited at AA+ (Double A Plus) and A1+ (A One
Plus), respectively. The ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk emanating
from a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.
For this bank solution is difficult but possible. They use internal system easily.

goal.
Centralization of decision making.
Limited product knowledge among staff members.
Main thing which I noted that there re work loaded is too much and system and network
are jammed mostly. Which is created problem for the customer and not do well
performed.

46
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

If there are required to fill the form then it takes place too much time which is very
irritating. And then customer has to go many seats for do the signature.
They are always depending to each other which is no benefit for a good organization. The
procedure of bank is too lengthy and takes too much time. The application time is taking
quite lengthy.
Most of the employees are overload with the work and promotion is also not timely.

There are no separations training center in which employee can take advantage. So the
employees progress also slow.
No proper job rotation.
Inexperienced hiring process which results in placement of the wrong person at the
wrong seat.
Difficulty in managing the extended network of branches.
Frequent changes in service management.

OPPORTUNITIES:
In MCB the hiring system of human resource should be specialized staff they should not
compete to each other work corporately to remove the external threats.
Leasing.
They should more emphasize on electronic banking and wide spread their network and
enhance the profitability.
Also enhance new technologies and scheme.
High investment opportunities.
Good financial position creating a good reputation for future advances and huge deposits.
47
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

THREATS:
Low interest in capital`s market.
No new strategy to compete the external threats. It would be effect to the banking system.
No new technologies which can affect the customer and the interest of customer may be
turn.
Weak conditions of Pakistan.
Threat of new entrants leads to the tough competition.
Staff not well educated and cause the problem in banking system.

Lack of interest and capability may allow entering the new threats which ruined
everything.
When government possess the other policies then many disturbance take place in banking
system. It would have facing a strong competition by its competitor.

COMPETITORS ANALYSIS

Competitor analysis in marketing and strategic management is an assessment of the strengths and
weaknesses of current and potential competitors. This analysis provides both an offensive and
defensive strategic context to identify opportunities and threats. Profiling coalesces all of the
relevant sources of competitor analysis into one framework in the support of efficient and
effective strategy formulation, implementation, monitoring and adjustment.
Competitor analysis is an essential component of corporate strategy. It is argued that most firms
do not conduct this type of analysis systematically enough. Instead, many enterprises operate on
what is called informal impressions, conjectures, and intuition gained through the tidbits of
information about competitors every manager continually receives. As a result, traditional
environmental scanning places many firms at risk of dangerous competitive blind spots due to a
lack of robust competitor analysis.

49
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

Competitors
Some of the competitors or Muslim Commercial Bank is as follows.

National bank of Pakistan


Bank al falah
United bank
Allied bank of Pakistan
Citi bank
Habib bank LTD.
Faysal bank
Prime commercial bank
Abn amro bank
Suadi pak commercial bank
Indus bank
Soneri bank
Bank of Punjab
Standerd charterd
Askari bank

Competitors profile
The strategic rationale of competitor profiling is powerfully simple. Superior knowledge of rivals
offers a legitimate source of competitive advantage. The raw material of competitive advantage
consists of offering superior customer value in the firms chosen market. The definitive
characteristic of customer value is the adjective, superior. Customer value is defined relative to
rival offerings making competitor knowledge an intrinsic component of corporate strategy.
Profiling facilitates this strategic objective in three important ways. First, profiling can reveal
strategic weaknesses in rivals that the firm may exploit. Second, the proactive stance of
competitor profiling will allow the firm to anticipate the strategic response of their rivals to the
firms planned strategies, the strategies of other competing firms, and changes in the
50
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

environment. Third, this proactive knowledge will give the firms strategic agility. Offensive
strategy can be implemented more quickly in order to exploit opportunities and capitalize on
strengths. Similarly, defensive strategy can be employed more deftly in order to counter the
threat of rival firms from exploiting the firms own weaknesses.
Clearly, those firms practicing systematic and advanced competitor profiling have a significant
advantage. As such, a comprehensive profiling capability is rapidly becoming a core competence
required for successful competition. An appropriate analogy is to consider this advantage as akin
to having a good idea of the next move that your opponent in a chess match will make. By
staying one move ahead, checkmate is one step closer. Indeed, as in chess, a good offense is the
best defense in the game of business as well.
A common technique is to create detailed profiles on each of your major competitors. These
profiles give an in-depth description of the competitor's background, finances, products, markets,
facilities, personnel, and strategies. This involves:

Background:

Location of offices, plants, and online presences

History - key personalities, dates, events, and trends

Ownership, corporate governance, and organizational structure

Financials:

P-E ratios, dividend policy, and profitability

Various financial ratios, liquidity, and cash flow

Sources of information for competitor analysis:


Davidson (1997) described how the sources of competitor information can be neatly grouped
into three categories:
Recorded data:
This is easily available in published form either internally or externally. Good examples include
competitor annual reports and product brochures;
Observable data:
This has to be actively sought and often assembled from several sources. A good example is
competitor pricing;

53
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

Opportunistic data:
To get hold of this kind of data requires a lot of planning and organization. Much of it is
anecdotal, coming from discussions with suppliers, customers and, perhaps, previous
management of competitors.
The table below lists possible sources of competitor data using Davidsons categorization:

Recorded Data

Observable Data

Opportunistic Data

Annual report & accounts

Pricing / price lists

Meetings with suppliers

Press releases

Advertising campaigns

Trade shows

Newspaper articles

Promotions

Sales force meetings

Analysts reports

Tenders

Seminars / conferences

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
Situation analysis is a method managers use to analyze both the internal and external
environments of an organization in order to understand the firms own capabilities, customers
and business environment. As described by the American Marketing Association, a situation
analysis is "the systematic collection and study of past and present data to identify trends, forces,
and conditions with the potential to influence the performance of the business and the choice of
appropriate strategies."
The situation analysis consists of several methods of analysis: The 5Cs Analysis, SWOT
analysis and Porter five forces analysis. A Marketing Plan is created to guide businesses on how
to communicate the benefits of their products to the needs of potential customer. The situation
analysis is the second step in the marketing plan and is a critical step in establishing a long term
relationship with customers.
The situation analysis looks at both the macro-environmental factors that affect many firms
within the environment and the micro-environmental factors that specifically affect the firm. The
purpose of the situation analysis is to indicate to a company about the organizational and product
position, as well as the overall survival of the business, within the environment. Companies must
be able to provide a summary of opportunities and problems that may be encountered within the
environment in order to gauge an understanding of their own capabilities within the market.

55
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

5C Analysis
While a situation analysis is often referred to as the "3C analysis", the extension to the 5c
analysis has allowed businesses to gain more information on the internal, macro-environmental
and micro-environmental factors within the environment. The 5C analysis is considered to be the
most useful and common method in analyzing the market environment due to the extensive
information it provides to a business.

Company
The analysis of the company allows for the evaluation of the company's objectives, strategy and
capabilities. These areas indicate to an organization about the strength of the business model or
whether there are areas for improvement, as well as how well an organization will fit with the
external environment.
Goals & Objectives:
An analysis on the mission of the business, the industry of the business and the stated
goals required to achieve the mission.
Position:
An analysis on the Marketing strategy and the Marketing mix.
Performance:

An analysis on how effectively the business is achieving their stated mission and goals.
Product line:
An analysis on the products manufactured by the business and how successful it will be
in the market.

56
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

Competitors
The competitor analysis takes into consideration the competitors position within the industry
and the potential threat it may pose to other businesses. The main purpose of the competitor
analysis is for businesses to analyze both the current and potential nature and capabilities of
a competitor in order to be prepared against competition. The competitor analysis looks at
the following criteria's:

Identity competitors:
Businesses must be able to identify competitors within their industry. Identification of
whether competitors provide the same service/products to the same customer base will be
useful is gaining knowledge on direct competitors. Both direct and indirect competitors
must be identified, as well as potential competitors that may enter the market.
Assessment of competitors:
The competitor analysis looks at competitor goals, mission, strategies and resources. This
will allow for a thorough comparison on the goals and strategies of both competitors and
organization.
Predict future initiatives of competitors:
An early insight into the potential activity of a competitor will help a company be
prepared against competition.

57
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

Customers

analyzes include:
Demographics:
Advertising most suitable for the demographic

Market size and potential growth


Customer wants and needs
Motivation to buy the product
Distribution channels (online, retail, wholesale, etc.)
Quantity and frequency of purchase
Income level of customer

Collaborators

well as an increase in the likelihood of gaining more business opportunities. The following type
of collaborators is:
Agencies:
Agencies are the middlemen of the business world. When businesses need a specific
worker who specializes in the trade, they go to a recruitment agency.

Suppliers:
Suppliers provide raw materials that are required to build products. There are 7 different
types of Suppliers: Manufacturers, wholesalers, merchants, franchisors, importers and
exporters, independent crafts people and drop shippers. Each category of suppliers can
bring a different skill and experience to the company.

58
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

Distributors:
Distributors are important as they are the 'holding areas for inventory'. Distributors can
help manage manufacturer relationships as well as handle vendor relationships.
Partnerships:
Business partners would share assets and liabilities, allowing for a new source of capital
and skills.
Businesses must be able to identify whether the collaborator has the capabilities needed
to help run the business as well as an analysis on the level of commitment needed for a
collaborator-business relationship.

Climate
In order to fully understand the business climate/environment there are usually many different
factors that can affect a business, and if researched well it will contribute to a company that can
respond well to change. An analysis on the climate is also known as the PEST analysis. The
types of climate/environment firms have to analyses are:
Political and regulatory environment:
An Analysis of how active the government regulates the market with their policies and
how it would affect the production, distribution and sale of the goods and services.

Economic Environment:

Net Mark-up / interest Income (after Provision)


It is showing a sturdy escalating pattern. The interest expense is increasing in relation to the
Interest earned. While analyzing net Markup income/Interest income in comparison with profit
before taxation, it has been noted that income under this head is showing inclining tend which
Provision is made in accordance with the requirement of prudential regulations issued by State
Bank of Pakistan and charged to the profit & loss Account. In the year 2010 it was lower as
compare to the year 2011. Comparatively, the interest is tremendously increased for the years
2011.

Non Mark-up Income


Non markup income has enormously increased in the year 2011. The non interest income for the
year 2011 is increased in comparison with 2010 but it is lower in year 2009.

After the year 2010 provision for Bad Debts are going increase to increase in nonperforming
loans. Expenses under this head, it has been noted that expenses are showing increasing trend.
During 2011 more expenses were incurred under this head.

Non Mark-up Interest Expense


The ratio of Non Mark-up expense is increased due to the solid reason of establishment of a
number of new branches as well as appointment of new staff has enhanced the amount of salaries
and allowances. Overall administrative expenses increased which ultimately caused to decrease
the profits.
MCB administrative expenses are also increasing constantly till 2007 and after 2007
administrative expenses in 2008 decrease in 2011. This increasing and decreasing trend of
administrative expenses vary with the increasing and decreasing trends of the MCB profitability.

of MCB is constantly increasing till 2009 and amount of tax is also increasing simultaneously,

getting funds for investment.
There is another point which can contradict my above saying that in gross loans, provision of
loan losses include, this ratio did not give the clear picture about the loans condition of bank. The
reason may be that this ratio in year 2010 can contain more provision for non-performing loans
losses as compare to 2011.

CLEARING DEPARTMENT:
Every banker acts both as a paying as well as a collecting banker, It is however an important function
of crossed cheques. A large part of this work is carried out through the bankers clearing house. A
clearing house is a place where representative of all banks of the city get together and settle the
receipts and payment of cheques drawn on each other. As the collecting banker runs certain risks in
receipt of their ownership the law has provided certain protections to the banks.
The Negotiable Instrument Act, 1881, lays down that drawer or holder of a cheque or draft may cross
the instrument generally or specially. It further lies down that a crossed cheque can only be paid to a
banker, who collects it for a customer in good faith and without negligence.

Transfer cheques:
Are those cheques, which are collected and paid by the same branch of bank.

Advances are the most important source of earning for the banks. MCB is also giving full attention
towards this aspect and it is also obvious from the growing portfolio of advances and from very low
delinquency rate. The credit portfolio of this institution is in a very much better shape than other

LOANS:
Loans are monetary assistance by a financial institution to a business, individual etc. The loans are
granted by the bank in lump sum, so these types called fixed or demand loans. Interest is charged on
the whole amount of a fixed loan.
The borrower withdraws whole the amount of loan. This type of loan is normally granted against
security of gold documents. In case of demand loans against gold or documents, a demand
promissory note for the amount of loan is taken from the borrower loans are granted under;
LOAN AGAINST GOLD:
Under this type of loan, which is granted to the borrower the Head Cashier estimates the value of
Gold or Gold ornaments through an agent (Gold smith) and keeps a margin of 40 to 50percent. After
the opening the gold loan account a token is given to the borrower, which is a bank receipt. On
repayment of loan, the gold or ornaments held as security for it, together with the demand
promissory note duly discharged is returned to the borrower and his receipt for the gold ornament
taken in the demand loan ledger. This receipts states that he ornaments returned are complete and in

ornaments still in banks possession fully covers the balance of the loan outstanding. The interest gold
loan is to be applied with quarterly.

LOAN AGAINST PLEDGE OF STOCKS:

In case of advancing such types of loans, the following precautions are kept in the mind;
o Stock pledged must be readily saleable
o Products should be readily saleable
o Advance should be within the borrows means
REQUIREMENTS OF LOAN:
For granting loan to any party or individual, the bank checks following particulars of the client:
o Credibility
o Feasibility Report
By Credibility, bank Judges the credibility of the client by his past bank record, CBI report etc. it is
very important in making decision about giving him loan.
Feasibility report is on the running or proposed business of the client. The report enables the bank to
judge the likely return of the business.

CASH CREDIT:
Such cash account is opened in the name of the customer who borrows from the bank. Customer is
granted a loan up to a certain limit, sanctioned by the head office, from which he can draw when he
requires and interest is charged on the amount actually utilized by the customer. In order to avoid the
danger of idle fund, the bank charges a certain rate of interest, even if the customer does not
withdraw any amount. The rate charged by the bank on cash credit in 46 paisa per thousand on daily
basis. The credit is usually given against the securities of goods or merchandize as follows:
ADVANCE AGAINST PLEDGE OF STOCKS
When cash is granted against the pledge of stock or product, cash credit form is taken, from the
certain products or stock, but the actual pledge is created when the stock or finished products are
placed under the bank's lock or the document of title is duly endorsed to the bank by the borrower.

89
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

HYPOTHECATION OF STOCKS
The difference between pledge and hypothecation is that under a pledge the borrower's goods are
placed in the bank's possession under own lock, whereas, under a hypothecation, they remain in the
possession of the borrower or guarantor and are merely charged to the bank under documents signed
by them. Even though the documents empower the bank to take possession of the goods
hypothecated, but it is possible that the borrower may actually resist any attempt.
MORTGAGE OF PROPERTY
Title deeds of immovable property are accepted by the bank only as collateral security or
alternatively as unauthorized security

DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT:
Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They borrow from
one person and lend to another, the difference between rates of borrowing and lending sets the
spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that deposits are the blood of the bank which
causes the body of an institution to get to work. These deposits are liability of the bank so from point
of view of bank we can refer to them as liabilities.
The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but after privatization there is a sharp
incline in over all deposits of the bank. The increase in deposits is also a cause of increase on total
number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.

TYPES OF DEPOSITS:
Deposits can be segregated on two bases, one is the duration in which there funds are expected to be
with the bank and second is the cost of getting these funds. So divide deposits in two classes
according to duration of deposits i.e.

Time deposits / liabilities

Demand deposits / liabilities

93
UNIVERSITY OF EDUCATION, LOWER MALL CAMPUS, LAHORE

And on the basis of the cost to acquire these funds, a deposit can be classified as any one of following
three, High Cost, Low Cost & No Cost. Banks has different kinds of deposit schemes in order to induce
deposits. These schemes are a mixture of the above mentioned two types of deposits with an addition
of different services & requirements such as: minimum balance' requirement, mode of transaction,
basis for calculation of profit, deductions, additional benefits, eligibility for different groups. In the

PROBLEMS & SUGGESTIONS


Problems:

The dealing of employees towards their customer is not uniformly or equally.


Which I observed in during my internship the more preference give the special person
like relative, friends, other known persons give more attention and do their work firstly
and give them special protocol. Which is done unfair towards other, who already there
and wait for their work.
I observed there are lack of education and experience but still they are working there with
the help of other which create the problem for customer.
The staff members usually waste their valuable time while performing their duties.
The system of lunch time is also no good whenever who want to go for lunch when they
want even they not take attention towards their customer.
So I can say easily here are many problems and issues which need improvement.
In human resource department there is not proper appraisal system. And give more
importance that brings the reference. That is not good for a common person.
There are no proper training system which is not good for a bank in this case many
problems can be occurring and the competitors cab be take this opportunity easily.
Most of human resource department staff has not proper or high qualification. In this
reason many problems can be created.
This bank also take an intelligence test for new employees, which is people are not
capable to their position.
During my training session I feel that most of the staff and employees make a lot of
unnecessary phone calls while they dealing their customer. This is very irregular
responsibility.

There are the system of security is also not good. Peoples come and go but the guard does
not take attention carefully. But when the main person come in the bank like big boss or
big manager then they alert on their seats and pretend themselves that they do their work
very well. This is also unfair for not only bank but also employees and customer.
The entire worker who work in bank and do their duties all should be conscientious and
diligent in their duties. And do not take such action which is not good for bank and also
for customer.
So bank should take such steps to improve its all the system, if all the procedure is done
in accurately and in good manner then no one can be criticize on it so they should be
more concern on it.
If they do in this manner then the bank also go towards prosperity and progress. And
criticism finish.
Employees should also give attention on this criteria because little little false make the
big ocean which is not good if they want to progress.

Suggestions
After doing a deep study and witnessing everything that goes on in a branch, I would then like to
make the recommendations that; First of all, the management needs to overlook the major
problems that the organization is currently facing and then develop strategies to eradicate them.
Some of the suggestions that I would like to give at the end are:
Promotion and Mass Media Publicity
MCB Bank can improve its Marketing strategies to acquire more promotion and
mass media publicity by the use of effective channels of promotions like TV,
Newspaper Advertisements. It can also improve its magazine publication that it
releases each month.
Need introduce friendly Products
In order to compete in the ever-expanding market both nationally and
internationally,
Introducing new and efficient products is one of its major requirements.
Centralized Structure
Centralized Structure that enables employee involvement needs to be formed.
Better Reward System
Better reward system is one of the most important requirements in order to reduce
the problem of Employee retention and improve Employee motivation.
Continuous Training of Employees
Creation of enhanced performance appraisal system
Implementation of enhanced Marketing system
Continuous lecture on better communication of staff with customers
ATM Machines Maintained
ATM machine must be maintained properly to make it more convenient for the
customers and to decrease the load of work to the employees of the bank
especially in the salary days.

Staff Member
I have observe during working that there need of more staff due to pressure of
work MCB should hire more employees for better performance even any
employee when take leaves Manager has no choice to his work to other employee
so this situation built high pressure.
Symbol System
To make the SYMBOL system more efficient and make sure its connectivity all
the time in order to provides more convenience to customers.
Job Rotation for Employees
MCB should to make the strategy where make the job rotation of employees.

Conclusion

I feel that MCB has a better production in which they have achieve a better and succeeded
results. They provide better facility to their customer ant try to maintain it. They always try to
achieve their targets. The system of human resource is also very good in nature and way of their
system is unique. There are brides system in which employee can survive easily and work their
work easily and they improve their capability easily, also learn more things. Nature of employees
should good towards their customer. I learned many things in MCB and achieve a lot of
experience which I have not earlier. And also enjoyed worked. I have achieved many benefits
from this bank which is useful for me in the future. The role of HR department is also
corporative.
