EVOLUTION OF BANKING

The word bank is said to have been derived from the words Bancus or
Banque or Back. The history of banking is stated to as early as 2000 B.C. The
priests in Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples.
These Priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking is also
traced to early Gold Smiths. They used to keep strong safes for storing the
money and valuables of the people. The people who have surplus money
found it safe and convenient to deposit their valuables with them. The first
stage of the development of modern banking thus was the accepting of
deposits of cash from those persons who had surplus money with themselves.

Issuance of Bank Note


The Gold smith used to issue receipts for the money deposited with
them. These receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of
transactions because people had confident in the integrity and solvency of
Gold Smiths. When it was found that these receipts were fully accepted in
payment all debts then the receipts were drawn in such a way that it entitled
any holder to claim the specific amount of money from the Gold Smiths. A
depositor who is to make the payments may now get the money in cash from
Gold Smiths or pay over the receipts to the creditor. The receipts were the
earlier Bank Notes. The second stage in the development of banking thus was
the issue of Bank Notes.

Payment of Interest on Deposits


That all the people who had deposited money with them did not
withdraw their funds in cash. They found that only a few persons presented
receipt for encashment during a given period of time. They also found that
most of the money deposited with them was lying idle. At the same time they
found that they were being constantly requested for loan on good security.
They thought it profitable to lend at least some of the money deposited with
them to the needy person. This provides quite a profitable business for the

gold smiths. They instead on the money deposited with them. This was the
third stage of Evolution of banking.

Overdraft Facility
By expedience the banks came to know that they could keep a small
proportion of the total deposits for meeting the demands of customers for
cash and rest they could easily lend. They allow the depositors draw over and
above the money actually standing to their credit. In economic terminology
we can say that they allowed the overdraft facilities to their depositors. This
was the fourth stage in the Evolution of banking.

Multi-Service Organization
With the passage of time, the activities of the commercial banks have
greatly increased. They now deal with large number of matters such as
obtaining funds, advancing loans to businesses, farmers, households, making
investments in stocks, discounting bills of exchange etc. The commercial
banks are now multi-service organizations and play a very important role in
the financial markets.

Bank
No precise and comprehensive definition of the term BANK has yet
been enunciated. The most generally accepted definition of a banker is that
expressed by Sir JOHN POGET in the following words.
No one, no body, corporate or otherwise can be a banker who does not: Maintain current account.
Pay cheques draw on him.
Collects cheques on behalf of his customers.

Definition of Banking
Section 5(B) of banking companys ordinance 1962 defines the terms
bank as:-

Banking means the accepting for the accepting for the purpose of lending or
investment of deposit of money from public repayable on demand or
otherwise and withdraw able by cheques, draft order or otherwise.

ISLAMIC BANKING
The Origin and History of Islamic Banking:
The origin of Islamic banking system can be traced back to the advent
of Islam when the Prophet himself carried out trading operations for his wife.
The Mudarbah or Islamic partnerships has been widely appreciated by the
Muslim business community for centuries but the concept of Riba or
interest has gained very little diligence in regular or day-to-day transactions.
The first model of Islamic banking system came into being in 1963 in
Egypt. Ahmed Al Najjar was the chief founder of this bank. The key feature of
the institute was profit sharing on the non interest based philosophy of
Shariah. This bank was different than the commercial banks which were
paying or charging interest on transactions. It was more than a financial
institution. In 1974, the Organization of Islamic Countries (OIC) hJad
established the first Islamic bank called the Islamic Development Bank or IDB.
The basic business model of this bank was to provide financial assistance and
support on profit sharing.
The Idea continued to develop theoretically until 1974, when the first
Islamic commercial Islamic bank was established in Dubai, United Arab
Emirates. The same year also witnessed signing of the agreement to
establish the Islamic Development Bank IDB as an inter-governmental panIslamic bank. The main objective of the IDB was to finance development
projects in the Muslim countries in accordance with the rules and ethics of
Islamic finance. This was followed shortly by emergence of Faisal Islamic

Bank in Egypt in Sudan in 1977.

Subsequently, Bahrain Islamic Bank and

Jordan Islamic Bank came into being in 1978.


By the mid 1980s these newly formed ethical banking institutions
based on Islamic principles became an established part of mainstream
banking in the Middle East and South Asia. They continued to grow and
spread across South and East Asia. Subsequently, ethical banks and financial
institutions, based on Islamic principles, spread in countries where Muslim
were a minority, such as UK, Luxemburg, Denmark, Australia, India and the
United States. Many Muslims flocked to these new banking institutions, not
only for ethical and religious reasons, but also because they provided
professional and friendly services to their customers.

Islamic Banking in Pakistan


Pakistan was created in the name of Islam in 1947 since then there is a
pressing demand particularly from the religious leaders that interest should
be eliminated from the financial system of Pakistan. In the Constitution of
Pakistan it has been incorporated that one of the objective of the State is to
eliminate Riba (interest) from the economic system of the country.
From 1947 to 1960, the elimination of interest from the economy engaged
the attention of scholars but no concrete efforts were made to find out an
alternative to the interest based system.
However, from 1960 to 1977, the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) put forward
a number of reports to the Government examining the meaning of Riba. In all
the reports it was firmly stated that the present day interest charged in the
financial system of the country is prohibited in Islam under the term Riba.
From 1977-1980, the Council of Islamic Ideology and the experts from the
State Bank of Pakistan worked out the details and proposed concrete steps
for removing interest from the economy.
In 2002, State Bank of Pakistan issued first Islamic Banking License for
offering the Islamic Banking Products and Services in the Country. Currently,
five full fledge Islamic Banks and various conventional banks are offering the
Islamic Banking Products and Services in the Country.

Kinds of Commercial Banks


There are two main kinds of commercial banks:
1. Scheduled banks
2. Non-scheduled bank

Scheduled Banks
According to sec 37(2A) of SBP Act 1956, if following terms and
conditions are fulfilled by commercial banks, it is included in the schedule of
SBP and SBP provides many facilities to the scheduled banks.
1. Paid up capital
If a commercial bank has a paid up capital and reserves of not less
than 5 lakes and fulfilling certain other requirements.
2. Banking in Pakistan
That commercial bank must do the business of banking in Pakistan i.e.
commercial bank must be Pakistani bank with the meaning of Pakistan
banking companies ordinance 1962
3. Functions of Banks
That bank must perform the functions of banking in Pakistan as stated
in section 7 of banking companies act.
4. Acts in customers favors
Commercial banks will not take any step, which is against the
customers.

MARKETINGS FOUR PS

Marketing your business is about how you position it to satisfy your


markets needs. There are four critical elements in marketing your products
and business. They are the four Ps of marketing.

Product The right product to satisfy the needs of your target

customer.
Price The right product offered at the right price.
Place The right product at the right price available in the right place

to be bought by customers.
Promotion Informing potential customers of the availability of the
product, its price and its place.

Product
Product refers to the goods and services you offer to your customers.
Apart from the physical product itself, there are elements associated with
your product that customers may be attracted to, such as the way it is
packaged. Other product attributes include quality, features, options,
services, warranties, and brand name. Thus, you might think of what you
offer as a bundle of goods and services. Your products appearance, function,
and support make up what the customer is actually buying. Successful
managers pay close attention to the needs their product bundles address for
customers. Your product bundle should meet the needs of a particular target
market. For example, a luxury product should create just the right image for
customers who have everything, while many basic products must be
positioned for priceconscious consumers. Other important aspects of product
may include an appropriate product range, design, warranties, or a brand
name. Customer research is a key element in building an effective marketing
mix. Your knowledge of your target market and your competitors will allow
you to offer a product that will appeal to customers and avoid costly mistakes
If you are considering starting a new business or adding a new product, then
make sure the product bundle will fit your businesss strengths and

weaknesses, and that it will provide an acceptable risk/return tradeoff. For


instance, if your business is very good at timely response to customers, then
timely service should be an important part of your product bundle. Think long
term about your venture by planning for the ways you can deepen and
broaden your product bundle. For instance, you may be able to take
advantage of opportunities to add value through processing, packaging, and
customer service. Other future growth may allow you to offer your product to
different customers. Start-up businesses are most successful when they
concentrate their efforts on one product or one market, like a restaurant or a
car service center does. Later growth may occur in the same location or may
be in different geographic regions. A different type of growth would be a
diversification of products, with your business offering related products.
Offering a whole range of products is most successful if the raw materials,
production processes, and distribution methods are similar, which means you
do not have to acquire new suppliers, skills and equipment, and distribution
methods.

Price
Price refers to how much you charge for your product or service.
Determining your products price can be tricky and even frightening. Many
small business owners feel they must absolutely have the lowest price
around. So they begin their business by creating an impression of bargain
pricing. However, this may be a signal of low quality and not part of the
image you want to portray. Your pricing approach should reflect the
appropriate positioning of your product in the market and result in a price
that covers your cost per item and includes a profit margin. The result should
neither be greedy nor timid. The former will price you out of the market;
pricing too low will make it impossible to grow. As a manager, you can follow
a number of alternative pricing strategies. In the next column are eight
common pricing strategies. Some price decisions may involve complex
calculation methods, while others are intuitive judgments. Your selection of a
pricing strategy should be based on your product, customer demand, the
competitive environment, and the other products you will offer.

Cost-plus Adds a standard percentage of profit above the cost of producing


a product. Accurately assessing fixed and variable costs is an important part

of this pricing method.


Value-based Based on the buyers perception of value (rather than on your
costs). The buyers perception depends on all aspects of the product,

including non-price factors such as quality, healthfulness, and prestige.


Competitive Based on prices charged by competing firms for competing
products. This pricing structure is relatively simple to follow because you
maintain your price relative to your competitors prices. In some cases, you
can directly observe your competitors prices and respond to any price
changes. In other cases, customers will select vendors based on bids
submitted simultaneously. In those cases, gathering information will be more

difficult.
Going-rate A price charged that is the common or going-rate in the
marketplace. Going-rate pricing is common in markets where most firms have

little or no control over the market price.


Skimming Involves the introduction of a product at a high price for affluent

consumers. Later, the price is decreased as the market becomes saturated.


Discount Based on a reduction in the advertised price. A coupon is an

example of a discounted price.


Loss-leader Based on selling at a price lower than the cost of production to

attract customers to the store to buy other products.


Psychological Based on a price that looks better, for example, $4.99 per
pound instead of $5.00 per pound. After you decide on your pricing strategy,
the amount of money you will actually receive may be complicated by other
pricing aspects that will decrease (or increase) the actual amount of money

you receive. You will also have to decide how to determine:


Payment period Length of time before payment is received.
Allowance Price reductions given when a retailer agrees to undertake
some promotional activity for you, such as maintaining an in-store display.

Place
Place refers to the distribution channels used to get your product to
your customers. What your product is will greatly influence how you
distribute it. If, for example, you own a small retail store or offer a service to
your local community, then you are at the end of the distribution chain, and

so you will be supplying directly to the customer. Businesses that create or


assemble a product will have two options: selling directly to consumers or
selling to a vendor.

Direct Sales
As a producer, you must decide if supplying direct is appropriate for
your product, whether it be sales through retail, doorto-door, mail order, ecommerce, on-site, or some other method. An advantage of direct sales
would be the contact you gain by meeting customers face to face. With this
contact you can easily detect market changes that occur and adapt to them.
You also have complete control over your product range, how it is sold, and at
what price. Direct sales may be a good place to start when the supply of your
product is limited or seasonal. For example, direct sales for many homeproduced products can occur through homebased sales, markets, and stands.
However, direct sales require that you have an effective retail interface with
your customers, which may be in person or electronic. If developing and
maintaining this retail interface is not of interest to you or you are not good
at it, you should consider selling through an intermediary.

Reseller Sales (Sales through an Intermediary)


Instead of selling directly to the consumer, you may decide to sell
through an intermediary such as a wholesaler or retailer who will resell your
product. Doing this may provide you with a wider distribution than selling
direct while decreasing the pressure of managing your own distribution
system. Additionally, you may also reduce the storage space necessary for
inventory. One of the most important reasons for selling through an
intermediary is access to customers. In many situations, wholesalers and
retailers have customer connections that would not be possible to obtain on
your own. However, in selling to a reseller you may lose contact with your
end consumer. In some cases, you may also lose some of your company
identity. For example, your distributor may request that your product be sold
under the resellers brand name. One factor that may influence whether you
can find an intermediary to handle your product is production flow.

Wholesalers want a steady year-round supply of product to distribute. If you


can deliver a steady year-round supply that is of consistent quality, then
selling through an intermediary may be a good strategy for you.

Promotion
Promotion refers to the advertising and selling part of marketing. It is
how you let people know what youve got for sale. The purpose of promotion
is to get people to understand what your product is, what they can use it for,
and why they should want it. You want the customers who are looking for a
product to know that your product satisfies their needs. To be effective, your
promotional efforts should contain a clear message targeted to a specific
audience reached via an appropriate channel. Your target audience will be the
people who use or influence the purchase of your product. You should focus
your market research efforts on identifying these individuals. Your message
must be consistent with your overall marketing image, get your target
audiences attention, and elicit the response you desire, whether it is to
purchase your product or to form an opinion. The channel you select for your
message will likely involve use of a few key marketing channels. Promotion
may involve advertising, public relations, personal selling, and sales
promotions. A key channel is advertising. Advertising methods to promote
your product or service include the following.

Radio Radio advertisements are relatively inexpensive ways to


inform potential local customers about your business. Mid-to-late week

is generally the best time to run your radio ad.


Television Television allows access to regional or national audiences,

but may be more expensive than other options.


Print Direct mail and printed materials, including newspapers,
consumer and trade magazines, flyers, and a logo, allow you to explain
what, when, where, and why people should buy from you. You can send
letters, fact sheets, contests, coupons, and brochures directly to new

or old customers on local, regional, or national levels.


Electronic Company Web sites provide useful information to
interested consumers and clients. Password-protected areas allow
users to more intimately interact with you. Advertisements allow broad

promotion of your products. Direct e-mail contact is possible if you

have collected detailed customer information.


Word of Mouth Word of mouth depends on satisfied customers (or
dissatisfied

customers)

telling

their

acquaintances

about

the

effectiveness of your products.


Generic: Generic promotion occurs when no specific brand of
product is promoted, but rather a whole industry is advertised. For
instance, generic advertising is commonly found for milk, beef, and
pork.

to deal with any type of scenario.

Job Satisfaction at All Levels

very cooperative, not only with the customers but among themselves as well.
Competent senior management
The senior management in the organization is very much competent and
experienced; they successfully handle different internal and external affairs.

WEAKNESSES
No HR department level at zonal and branch level
Human resource department is one of the foremost requirements of any
organization of this age. The organization under consideration, though
contain a HR division at headquarter but there are no sub divisions at the
provincial or branch level. So when different problems related to HR are
raised, they are left unaddressed.
Centralized decision making
The decision making in the organization is completely centralized which
results in the loss of confidence of the employees over the management,
employees may not want to follow the dictates, rules and regulations.

Lack of frequent training


Though there is training academy at head office, but the training programs
are usually confined to the managerial staff, there is a need of training at all
the levels.
Lengthy recruitment process
The recruitment process is quite lengthy which can discourage the new
comers. So, there is a need to shorten the whole process.
Less internal recruitment for new posts
It has been found that in the organization under consideration, if new
vacancies are allocated there is a trend of external recruitment, which results
in the dissatisfaction of the current employees.
Lack of Marketing Effort
The bank does not promote its corporate image, services, etc on a
competitive way. Hence lacks far behind in marketing effort. A need for
aggressive marketing is there in the era marketing in now becoming a part of
every organization.

OPPORTUNITIES
More qualified people in the market
Due to the increase of interest of people in business field, many business
institutions have been established, which produces a good lot of qualified and
competent business professionals. So, the organization under consideration
can hire more qualified people from market.
Effective utilization of internal human resources

People working in the organization get use to the norms and values of the
organization, so these expirees can be utilized with in the organization
whenever required.
Training can enhance the employees skills.
Training and development is one of the important functions of human
resource management. If the staff of the organization are properly trained
and developed they will add to the value of the organization.

THREATS
Increase in Competition
The increasing competition in local as well as national and multinational level
also lower down the profitability of the bank and compelling the bank to use a
large amount of funds to meet out competition.
Good job opportunities outside.
The other organizations of similar nature are offering more salaries and
benefit packages to their employees. So, there is a threat to the organization
that their current employees may leave it.
Uncertainty about future change
An uncertainty about the future changes has been noticed among the
employees of the organization, it results in dissatisfaction and demotivation
of the employees, which is a serious threat to the organization.
Other organizations are using better HR techniques.
Other organizations of similar nature are using better and recent HR
techniques, so they have got an edge to facilitate their employees whenever
they need. It can be a serious threat to this organization as there employees
would not be satisfied of their own organization which will effect their
performance.

useful tool for providing a framework for analysis of an organization. It is
widespread approach to make assessments in terms of internal and external

environment of the organization and to formulate strategies by analyzing its


internal strengths and weaknesses, external opportunities and threats.

PEST Analyses
Political Environment
Political environment badly effects the organization. It has directly concern with the legal
issues. The Govt. is changing rules and regulations law and order is changing everyday.
In Pakistan law and order situation is very bad which is effecting all the things in
Pakistan and due to this problem it become difficult for the organization to run
successfully
Unstable Government
Now our government is in the hands of two political parties and both parties have
different objectives,
Every person have their own ideas and style of working and for this reason nobody is
working properly , the result of this the economy of that country is gone downward and
banks suffers from this.
Adverse law and order situation
The situation of law and order is going to adverse. The policies are not very handy and
beneficial for the country. The Govt. passes such rules which are not in the favor of
bank. The Govt. of Pakistan passed a rule that if anyone withdraws more than
Rs.25000 then it will be charged 0.30% on withdrawal.

Economical Environment

Pakistan's economy is going weaker and weaker. 9/11 has a great influence on the
economic crisis of all over the world. With economic factors the bank influenced very
much that are as under:
o

Low interest rate

Inflation

Low GDP growth

Budget deficit

Increase in Govt. duties

Fluctuation in exchange rates

Social Environment
Social environment includes family, friends, a person role and status. An individual
life directly by society and the person acts according to his or her society. Cultural
environment includes norms, values, religion and perception.
o

If we see the religion point of view then interest is not allowed that's why most of
the people hesitate to invest their savings in banks.

But ABBL bank is free from all type of interest people like to invest money in Islamic
bank

Technological Environment
Today is the period of technology. In the every aspect of life technology plays an
important role. They are investing heavily in changing their soft ware and they are also
upgraded their hard ware
