The target populations of this study were employees of different corporate branches of Agrani Bank Limited. The sample size was allocated as 21. As this sample is very small regarding the size of the population, random sampling techniques were applied. A mix of convenience and judgmental sampling was also performed to select the samples for this research. The primary qualification for being a respondent was those who are involved with Agrani Bank Ltd for many years.
Data collection method was divided into two sources: 1 Data Collection from Primary Sources For the procedure of different banking operations, I observed the operations and talked with the Officers, I provided questionnaire to the employees and also informally interviewed the ABL Officials for getting more information.
2 Data Collection from Secondary Sources Data was collected from different statements and the annual reports of the bank. Besides, different books and training pamphlets were also a good source of information.
For collecting books and periodicals, I have used the following. ABTI Library Agrani bank Ltd web site Janata bank Ltd web site Brac Bank web site Duch-Bangla Bank web site

Bank Ltd, in pursuance of Bangladesh Banks (Nationalization) Order 1972, (P.O No.26 of 1972) came into being by taking over the assets and liabilities of the Habib Bank Ltd. and Commerce Bank Ltd., functioning in the then East Pakistan.

Two of the main indicator of a financial institute is advance and deposit. From above two comparison we see market of this bank is broad. As the branch number of this bank is 867 they are able to gain this competitive advantage. And off course products is acceptable to customers.
Income Sectors of Agrani Bank Ltd. Investment income Commission 13% Income 7% Interest Income Exchange c Earning 13%
Interest Income 62%
Investment income Commission Income Exchange Earning
Other Operative Income 6% Commission,Excha nge 27% Interest Income 43% Interest Income Income from Investment Commission,Exchange Other Operative Income Income from Investment 24%
From above information we can say differentiation of product is relatively standard. This banks number of income sectors is as like other commercial banks income sector.
Cost of production of this bank is lowest compared to other commercial banks. Here we see Interest paid by this bank is only 66% compared to Brac banks 82%.
Number of branches covering almost all over the country. Amount of confidence regarding this bank in the mind of mass people (being a government bank everyone thinks the policy of this bank will not be changed very rapidly). Ability to give advances in big volume with lowest interest rate. Ability to handle remittances efficiently. Ability to give loans to rural areas especially to farmers. Ability to take help from government to collect classified loans
-Technology used by the bank is not up-to-date. -Service given by the bank is below customers satisfaction level. -Inefficient employees in comparison to other private commercial banks. -Political intervention over this bank is more than other private banks. -Recovery rate of loans is low compared to private banks. -Salary structure of the employees of the bank is very inefficient. In 2006 the number employees were 11793 and the amount was used to give them salary was 2,511,990,943 tk (including salary and allowances). Per month 17500 (almost) tk for each person. This is less than the lowest salary getter of many private sector banks (excluding allowances).
-Net interest income (NII) is increasing day by day. -Amount of classified loan is decreasing. -Operating profit is increasing gradually. -Import-export business is very much favorable to bank now a days. -Loss-making branches has been reducing for last few years. -Remittances increased by 13.68 percent. -Human resources management division is getting more emphasis from top management. -Huge number of IT specialist is being employed to up grade computer system and network. -Salary structure is also improving in some extent.
-The banking industry is the main threat of the bank as many potential competitors are in competition on the market. -Technological drawback is a big problem. -Salary structure is a big threat not to attract potential and efficient employees from market. -Outlook and interior design is not attracting customers as they are attracted by other commercial banks. -Government is a big threat also. Because to balance deficit budget and to pay different dues of various government organization like BPC government is dependent of this bank. -Though classified loan condition is improving but still it is in danger one. -And off course still trade union is a big threat to it, as the CBA leaders are more interested to take leadership than to do well for the bank.
Target market is broad for this Bank. Bank is giving advances for various reasons to all type of customers. It includes poultry loans, SME loans, hatchery loans, shallow water pump loans to high industrial loans. The range of advancement is from 5,000 taka to 2000 ml taka. Cost of product is lowest among competitive banks. In comparison to other commercial banks especially private sector bank the rate of interest of this bank is so minimum. Sonali bank and Janata Bank is also giving advance to their customers all most same rate but most cases those rate are more than the rate given by Agrani bank Ltd. Moreover different general banking services given by Agrani bank Ltd is lower in comparison to all bank in the banking industry. As the market of this bank is broad i.e. hole Bangladesh is their market and almost every type of people is their customer we can say , the business level strategy followed by this bank is cost leadership strategy.
The market of this bank is broad i.e. hole Bangladesh is their market and almost every type of people is their customer. Bank is giving advances to their customers on big amount as well as very little amount. Besides small sized loan bank is pursuing Industrial loans, syndicated loan with other banks which are very huge in volume. And the customers of those loans are big businessmen. So as there is no special emphasis on any particular segment of market we can easily recognize that the bank is pursuing cost leadership strategy. In addition to this we can say, as there are very little differences between the four state owned
commercial banks in Bangladesh from the point of view of uniqueness the bank
is not unique from others, so they are not performing differentiation strategy.
-Some uniqueness should be assessed by strategy formulators and special emphasis is needed to highlight people on that uniqueness. i.e.; integrated low cost differentiation strategy should be implemented. -The bank should invest more to coup up with the current technological changes and adopt online banking in a vast way. -The salary structure should be rational with other banks. -More training is needed to make current employees as customer friendly.
-Top management should be free to formulate banks own strategy. -bank should focus on broader business issues by having outside experts handle various operational details. -An appropriate organizational culture encourages the development of an entrepreneurial orientation among employees so the change of the organization culture is necessary.
