The business sector of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) is “Banking Sector”. Banks play
very important role in the economy of a country and Pakistan is no exemption. Banks in

The structure of National Bank of Pakistan is tremendously competitive. It is purely
because of the interrelated working efficiency among its departments. In order to achieve
the goals of NBP, each of its department deals with its own responsibilities and
contributes in the strategic, tactical, and operational planning of the business.
Now days, the rapid appearance of technology played a vital role in the efficiency and
effectiveness of the business. The ‘Technology’ replaced the manual power and probably
plays a major role to enhance and expand the business. Moreover, in this era of
technology, the “Information” is the key to success in the business. This means that the
successful businessman will be who will have the right information at the right time. In
order to achieve the levels of technology and keep itself in the race of progress, National
Bank of Pakistan uses the most reliable versions of financial software, including Oracle E
Business Suite Financials.
In tenure of my 10 weeks, I came to know that the company’s progress has mainly

picture is really appreciable, for the devotion and hard work of all the employees of the

high ratio indicates inadequate working capital, which reflects negativity on liquidity.
This ratio is increasing with the passage of time. It means that NBP is able to generate
enough sales to meet its obligations. This on one end is a positive sign also that assets are
properly utilized. But at the same time it shows that working capital is not invested in
assets till this period.

SWOT Analysis of Organization
SWOT analysis is strategic planning method which identifies the strength, weaknesses,
opportunities and threats of an organization. SWOT analysis is conducted by analysts in
order to determine internal and external situations of the organization. It identifies the
internal and external factors which help in achieving objectives of an organization.
NBP also conducts this comprehensive analysis annually for the betterment of
organizational growth and market share.
According to my point of view, the SWOT analysis of NBP is as follows;
Strengths
a) NBP is founder of ATM
National Bank of Pakistan is founder of ATM facility in Pakistan. In this particular
facility, money can be withdrawal from account at any time.
b) Government’s bank
National bank of Pakistan is Government’s bank. NBP makes its policies according to the
government’s rules and regulations.
c) Area of services
National bank of Pakistan has wide area of services as compare to other commercial
banks in Pakistan. NBP is offering services including pension to retired government
62
employees, traffic challans, withholding tax, property tax, fees receiving of AIOU, farms
of AIOU, utilities bills, deposits, sales tax , and various loan schemes.
d) Western union founder
National Bank of Pakistan is first bank who started the facility of Western Union in
Pakistan. In this particular scheme money is transferred in Pakistan from abroad in a
fastest way. You can receive the money from bank by providing the name, CNIC
number and password of recipient client.
e) Online banking
NBP has 130 online branches. Online banking reduces time and faster the services and
helps in checking the balances and daily transactions by just one key press.
f) Broad Network
National bank of Pakistan has broad-basses network of branches throughout the country.
The customers are provided services at their nearest possible place to confirm customer
satisfied.
g) Lack of employee’s loyalty
Employee’s turnover is very low in NBP as compare to other commercial banks.
Weakness
a) Lack of Quality Public Dealing
Public dealing is not very effective in NBP. Employees are not taking care of the
customers, especially in pension and bills department.
b) Communication Gap
During the internship in NBP, I found the problem of lack of communication between the
employees and management. They have not very much understanding with each other
which adversely affects the performance of employees.
c) Poor marketing efforts
63
National bank of Pakistan is not promoting its corporate image and services to the
customers in a competitive and effective way.
d) Few number of Employees
There is shortage of staff in NBP. Staff is not as per requirement. Due to which , NBP is
not efficient in its performance and services.
e) Favoritism and Nepotism
There is favoritism and nepotism of senior employees in regard of promotions and
bonuses. Promotions and bonuses etc depend on senior’s will and decisions.
f) Lack Of Modern Equipment
NBP is lacking upgraded and modern equipment. Most of the machines and computers
are back dated.
Opportunities
a) Micro Financing
Today, there is need of micro financing in banking sector , other commercial banks have
already initiated this regard. NBP should also avail this opportunity and take initiative in
micro financing.
b) Globally Progress of Banking system
Now-a-days banking system is growing quickly so NBP have opportunities to improve
the standard and get the more share in the market.
c) Electronic Banking
Due to fast development of technology, world has become global village especially
communication sector. NBP can avail the opportunity of developed technology and
online banking system in order to provide 24 hours services to customers.
Threats
a) Advanced Online Banking
64
Advanced computerized banking is a threat for NBP, which has traditional banking
system with back dated equipments and incompetent employees.
b) Emergence Of New Competitors
NBP is facing the threat of emergence of new competitors in from of foreign banks.
These foreign banks are equipped with modern and computerized system and heavy
financial power and innovative way of promotions.
c) Political instability
The frequent and ongoing shifting in political arena affects the performance of NBP
adversely.
d) Customer Complaints
NBP has no specific and regular system in order to remove customer complaints. Today,
customer satisfaction is highly demanded.
e) Increased number of banks
Increase in no. of banks is a threat for National Bank of Pakistan. Numbers of private
banks (commercial and private) are operating their business more efficiently and provide
the same facilities with more speed and quality.

Conclusion
During my stay of 10 weeks at National bank of Pakistan, I came across the number of
tasks and felt a credible and professional change in my attitude. I conclude that NBP is
one of the leading banks in Pakistan.
As analysis shows that NBP is a most growing organization with highest return on
capital, largest market share amongst all Pakistani banks. NBP carries highest cost to
income ratio as compare to all other commercial banks. But still there is need for
improvement to overcome weaknesses in order to maintain its position as an “Asian
Tiger” in banking field.
Acting as Agent of Government or State Bank of Pakistan, providing Agency
Arrangements for different government organizations including WAPDA and PIA, are
the main strengths of NBP. Plus NBP is offering wide and comprehensive range of
products in market.
It also has been included that Employees’ Unions in National Bank of Pakistan are
spending their much time in organizational politics instead of doing productive work that
leads to wastage of time.
As far as my training and experience is concerned, I have learnt a lot during my
internship because I got practical knowledge before entering in the practical life after
completion of my MBA degree.

I learn a lot about banking practice in Pakistan, rules and regulations and different
procedures followed by banks, the organizational culture and structure of the bank,
National Bank of Pakistan.
Recommendations for Improvements
According my evaluation and observation during my internship at NBP, bank can make
more progress by implementing following points:
Number of professional and well qualified employees should be enhanced.
Staff should be trained properly and should be familiar with modern technology in
order to enhance the over all performance of NBP.
In order to achieve job satisfaction from employees, their promotion should be on
merit and on time according to their respective performance instead of senior’s
own will.
There is need of more investment in area of innovation and organizational cultural
improvements in order to improve the environment and corporate culture of bank.
It is recommended that there should be specific desk for customer’s complaints
and for their information.
Bank needs to improve its sitting arrangement, air conditioning in order to attract
new clients and to make their customers feel happy and comfortable.
Heavy work load can be coping nicely with the help of modern computers
software and better control can be achieved.
Online facilities should be enhanced up to 24 hours.
67
Separate departments should be established for all services in every branch.
New markets needed to be located for enhancing the area of services and wide
range of networking.
Interest rate on deposits should be set according to the competitors and should
always be as per customer’s satisfaction and demand.
Promotional efforts need to expand by aggressive marketing. NBP should launch
effective marketing plan in order to attract new customers and creating awareness
among customers about NBP products.
