How Objectives are developed in Habib
Bank
The first thing we were told in this regard was that objectives are definedkeeping in view the present scenario of the state. As mentioned above Habib
Bank considers the environment, values of masses, and the analyzing of
needs of people, as a vital factor in objective development. Launching new
products is more than often considered, and most importantly ideas and
innovations of their competitors are thoroughly analyzed and evaluated
while setting the Organizations objectives.
When asked about how the objectives are developed, we were answered in a
professional manner and every single step was simplified presented to us.
The whole procedure is comprehensively defined as follows:
i. First of all the big bosses analyze the situation of the market whether
its profitable or suffering downfall
ii. Then the needs of the common people as well as the elite class are
determined and considered
iii. Discussions and meetings are regularly held to minimize any risk ofloss to the bank
iv. Another step which is put into practice only when the organization
feels its a much better option is that renowned executives are called
from multinational organizations to evaluate the ideas of the internal
executives and comment and suggest on their progress
v. Lastly after all these evaluations are properly carried out only then the
objectives of the organization are clearly defined
vi. Thats not the end as these objectives are transferred from the top
management to the middle and lower level sectors and every
individual is assigned a specific goal which when accomplished
individually helps as a whole in reaching the main GOAL of the
organization.

Habib Banks business in the Global
Arena

Countries, U.A.E and U.K. Internationally its aim is to serve the Pakistanis
working abroad. It proves to be a grand link between people who want to
transfer money back home. Habib bank is not looking currently for too much
international involvement, firstly they want to dominate the banking sector
nationally, and then the next step would be to cross international hurdles.
Guidelines for Establishing Objectives
HABIB BANK has considered some of the guidelines on the basis of which
they have developed their objectives. First of all they consider their goal and
their aim on the basis of which they set their objectives. They focus on the
people factor within the bank .Do them ability to achieve the goals? If the
employee works according to their objective, they give him/her a time
period. Employees have the time period to accomplish the objective.
They specify the written objective, which is given to each employee within
the organization. They only consider the people factor as a guideline so they
easily achieve the goals. They kept the international laws in their mind while
establishing the objectives.
Management By Objectives (MBO)
HABIB BANK does not use the MBO factor as such but they believe thattheir management cannot run without objectives. As habit bank is widely
spread into its regions and branches so the task are divided according to the
size of the branch. The main branch calls a meeting in which the managers
from different branches are called with their proposals. Managers proposals

PLANNING IN HABIB BANK
HABIB BANK does make proper planning before starting any project.According to the vice-president of credit department,
Planning is a route, following the route, the goals and objectives of the
bank can easily be achieved.
Two years back, they had a technology problem. Old employees do not
about the usage of computer so their board of directors and CEO sat together
to solve the problem. They
Planned that those employees who can learn the computer, they will beremained as employee, but those who cannot come across with the
technology change, they will be given the golden handshake.
Their purpose of planning is to achieve their goals in a sequential method.
As the technology factor was occurred then they planned to inject the new
blood within the bank that can lead the bank to the success.
Purpose of Planning
For Habib Bank Ltd., planning is a way to handle future challenges and
problems. Planning is primarily done to minimize risks in the business as
well as to capture most of the markets business. HBL also believes in this
theory and it desires to be the leading bank of Pakistan. For this purpose,
planning is mandatory. So the main purpose of planning in the eyes of HBL
is to survive in the future and face the challenges with prepared strategies.

Advantages of Planning
It creates a co ordination within the employees so they easily implement the
planning. The employees are more focused on the objectives.
Implementation becomes easy and the line staff is well defined about thework. Employee has the clear vision about the goals.
Disadvantages of Planning
He says that there can be a risk factor involved. As they tell about the
planning to their employees if any employee is not loyal to the bank then
he/she realizes the planning to the outsider, then it will be a big blunder forthe bank. Bank can face an unexpected situation for which they did not plan.
Planning Process
Whenever the problem occurs in the bank, a meeting is called in which they
think of the solution of the particular problem. Mangers from the branches
are called in the meeting and they present their proposals for the problem.
The top management usually does the planning. They have planned to
extend the on line banking. They have 350 online branches right now and
thinking to extend it unto 1500. Bank gathers feedback from different
branches. About their progress, gathers the information of the Market trends.
Bank focuses on the customers satisfaction
Role of C.E.O. in Planning
The CEO monitors the whole bank during planning. He controls the bank
whenever it faces a crisis situation. He checks whether the organization is
heading towards the right path or not, more specifically towards the
13
-
8/2/2019 Final Management Project (1)
14/33
achievement of organizations goals. He is involved in all plans of the
organization and in many cases he does the planning all by himself. The
CEO has the authority to accept or reject the proposals of their managers. He
interferes in difficult circumstances and holds the authority to keep a check
on the progress of the employees to know where the organization is going.
Sound planning always comes from competent C.E.O.
Definition of Plans in HBL
HBL defines plans as the ways to achieve the goals of the bank. It states that
plans are different methods and techniques, which an organization adopts in
order to accomplish its mission.
Planning ToolsHabit bank uses the forecasting tool. They predict the future environment
and their plans will affect the market. They focus on the valuable customers
and facilitate them more rather than their others customers. They invest in
those industries where they see the charm or profit. If they give the loans tothe customers with whom they are not familiar or do not know him/her
financially so it will be a wrong decision.

Decisions in Habib Bank
In HBL, decision is regarded as the best option chosen. A decision is madewhen more than one alternative are available. HBL tries to make marvelous
decisions and achieve its objectives.
Types of Decisions
There are two types of decisions as seen by HBL:
I. Programmed
II. Non programmed
Programmed Decisions:
These include decisions regarding projects; customer services rules and
many more. As in undergoing projects, everything is pre-defined and clear,
the bank has decided well before time what will be the finance of the project,
where it will be implemented and how long will it take to start. Same is the
case for customer service providing as to which customers should be dealt
and which not.
All these decisions stand in the queue of programmed decisions.
Non-Programmed Decisions:
These are the decisions, which must be taken in exceptional cases, critical
situations or against the established principles of the organization. They arise
when the bank faces a situation where it has to review its rules or
programmed decisions. The top-level management of the bank, sometimes
with the coordination of middle management, makes these types of
decisions.
15

8/2/2019 Final Management Project (1)
16/33
Scope of Decisions
Habib bank has divided the decision-making authority into its committees,
regions and departments. The scope of decisions depends upon the nature of
it. Finance related decision is taken by the finance committee of Board ofDirectors; an organizational development related decision is taken by the HR
and organizational development committee and so on. In this way, there are
different sectors of decision-making.
On the whole, the Board of Directors makes most of the decisions, which are
then flowed to the bottom. As far as routine and regular decisions are
concerned, the middle management is able to take decisions on their own.
The Decision Making Process
The process of decision-making in HBL mainly resides on the top-level
management. The Board of Directors takes all major and crucial decisions,
which are then implemented at all levels. There is no tradition of concerning
the employees when making decisions. However the middle management is
sometimes called in conferences to present their ideas and views. TheChairman still remains authoritative of which decision to take.
When a decision is finally taken, all levels are informed about it and tasks
are distributed.
Decision Making Tools
In HBL, there are no specific decision making tools implemented. The mostimportant factor when making a decision is said to be research, analysis of
the concerned sector, as well as historical records of the department. These
are the main considerations, which are followed when a decision is to be
made. Otherwise there is not any decision making tool used at HBL.

Strategic Planning
Habib Bank refers to Strategic planning as:
Long range planning that focuses on the Organization as a whole.
It means that those plans that are not restricted to anyone area of the
organization; they are aimed at achieving things listed in the mission
statement.
The Directors at Habib Bank Limited are responsible for making sound
strategies.
Habib Bank limited has always had the vision of the future while making
any strategies. Their strategies are focused on a time period of 8-10 years,
which they keep on reviewing from time to time. These strategies keep them
on their mission and helps employees stay more dedicated in contributing to
organizational goals. Any Strategy formed is aimed at guaranteeing
customer satisfaction & incrimination in profit of the Organization.
Habib Bank has always led the Banking sector in Pakistan and will keep on
doing so with the help of distinguished strategies. Habib Bank has qualified
personnel who assist in strategic planning.

The People at Habib Bank always keep in consideration that a particular
strategy is beneficial for the organization as a whole or not. They keep the
cost incurred on the strategy in mind and decide whether they should
continue the same pattern or not.

the track lead by that statement. HBL also has the record of avoiding undue
risks while working at a strategy. Sometimes they have to give up theirshort-term advances, while looking at the big picture. They are keen to
develop a Sound organizational Strategy that caters all aspects of the
corporation and are willing to tackle any hindrances in its way. HBL regards
Strategic Management Process as the way to boundless success. This process

Impact of Environmental Analysis on Strategy
Formulation
With out having a complete analysis of the surrounding environment, a
meaningful organizational strategy can never be formed. Habib Bank has to
keep all the factors in mind before jumping to any conclusions. The
regulations laid down by State Bank, the regulations laid down by IMF,
World Bank e.t.c. Habib Bank also has to consider the economic condition
of the country, whether any long-term investments would be feasible or not.
Cultural and Social issues are not left behind while making a concrete
organizational strategy. Currently Habib Bank wants to promote Online
banking which will result in efficient money transfer in the future, butfactors such as lack of access to Internet are restricting from that to happen.
Habib Bank also has to consider what its opponents are providing to the
people, because if they were lacking way behind them, it would result in
total disaster. Habib Bank also keeps a close eye on the satisfaction levels
of the customers as well as the employees.
The Bank has always tried to fight of international competition, trying to
prove as a trendsetter, which has always asked a lot from the organization.
Strategy Formulation Tools
Habib Bank values its previous records to give a clear picture of the future. By the help of
those crucial records, forecasting of the future becomes easier. In Habib
Bank, forecasting has proved to be the most useful Strategic formulation
tool.
Forecasting also requires constant attention, because it may be so that the
prediction went totally wrong resulting in overall failure.
Other tools like SWOT analysis, Business Portfolio analysis etc are not thatcommonly used in Habib Bank. Credit Commission uses SWOT analysis,
but in making organizational strategies, it is not used. It also depends on the
Current scenario, which tool would prove to be most beneficial. The aim of
any tool used is the same, to ensure organizational success.

Insight into Tactical Planning
Tactical planning is relatively short term in nature than strategic planning.
Here the plans are focused on short term objectives and are reviews of the
strategic plans. Organizational goals are kept in close consideration andmiddle managers are directly involved in the process. These plans are
restricted to a time period of nearly a year. The planners notice day-to-Day
happenings as well.

IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZING
Organizing, according to HBL is a very significant factor in an
organizations success or even survival. No organization can survive in the
modern era without a proper organizing theory and process. It is one of very
basic needs of modern business.
According to Habib Bank Limited, organizing is a process similar to
planning, the only difference being that planning is setting goals while
organizing is using all the best available resources to achieve those goals.
HBL strives for organizing every kind of its resources in the optimal way so
that the achievement of its objectives becomes an easy task.
The Organizing Process in HBL
HBL believes in efficient and effective organizing. Its main focus is on
generating good resources in every field and utilizing them in the best favor
of the Bank. The process of organizing runs from the top level i.e. from
Board of Directors to the grass root level of the organization. The steps of
organizing in HBL are summarized below:
First the chairman of board of directors presents his views on how to
distribute the main jobs. The main objective of the bank is kept in
mind at this, infect at every step.
Then the Board of Directors decides mutually with the Chairman how
to divide major tasks into small managerial activities.
These individual tasks are passed on to the middle management.These managers now set directives and tell individuals what they need
to do.

Responsibility, Authority and Delegation
Responsibility refers to those tasks and activities that are supposed to be
performed by an individual. The act of accepting a job means that the person
is obligated to a superior for the accomplishment of his job activities. In
Habib Bank Ltd., responsibilities are well defined and the appropriate
authority is also given to every individual. This is carried out to ensure that
when a person is assigned a job, he doesnt have to run to his supervisor
again and again for grantment of authority. The person is given all the
authority necessary for performing that job. This leads to a balance between
jobs assigned and tasks done. Also in HBL, sometimes it becomes crucial
for the supervisor to delegate an additional task to his subordinates, which iscalled delegation. Hence there is a systematic approach in this regard. After
delegating authority, the supervisor holds the right to question the
subordinate of his performance and how he used his authority.
Responsibility:
In the bank, job description is equally defined and elaborated, but verbally
only. Jobs are clearly divided, managers are told what they are required to doand responsibilities are accepted. However all these processes are done
without paperwork. When individuals were asked about these matters, they
too replied in the same way. So it can be said that although verbally, but
every individual is informed of his duties.
Authority:
In HBL, authority is given according to the responsibility and delegation
given. Authority primarily includes line and functional authority whereas
staff authority does exist in the organization but in an informal manner. It
means that there are no boundaries set about staff authority, coworkers and
individuals at the same level are allowed to guide each other and help in
solving their problems.
Delegation:
22
-
8/2/2019 Final Management Project (1)
23/33
Delegation exists in the bank because of its huge structure. Different tasks
are delegated to subordinates and they perform them with usual concern.

substantial employees. These sources include:

employees productivity by evaluating their contribution & past productivity
towards attaining organizational objectives. This is done by performance

ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE IN HABIB
BANK LIMITED
The major organizational change (structural change) in Habib Bank Limited
took place in 1997 when the whole bank was divided in to two groups,
namely Corporate Banking Group and Retail Banking Group. In the same
year Habib Bank Limited also announced the golden shake hands in which
there were many layoffs (people change).
MANAGING CHANGE
The management committee of Habib Bank Limited made organizational
changes in 1997 to increase productivity and to keep up with new
technological advancements. They divided the whole organization in two
groups so that each group becomes more focused and hence increase
productivity. Secondly they announced thousands of layoffs so that they can
hire fresh blood in their place, youngsters who are more at ease with new
technology as they are not resistant to change. The management knew that tomanage this change was an uphill task but if they would remain committed
they would be able to manage the change and now after nine years the
consequences of the organizational changes made in 1997 tell us that those
changes have made the organization more profitable and that the
management of Habib Bank Limited has been successful in managing the
change.

Leader V/S Manager
According to HBL, leading emphasizes mainly on behavioral issues of the
members of an organization whereas management involves both behavioralas well as non-behavioral issues. In this sense, therefore HBL says that a
manager has to monitor and coordinate many more activities than a leader
does.
One of the HR Manager of the organization replied to this question that a
leader can be a manager but the other way round is not possible. Also that
management has a very vast area of dealing as compared to that of a leader.
Hence the management of HBL does believe in the fact that they are two
different things.
Leader Behavior
Habib Bank Ltd. believes that the behavior of a leader should be of concern,
involvement and care towards the subordinates. He must be able to motivate
them to perform above expectations whenever required. He must possessqualities like nice behavior, politeness, and he has the skills for successfully
bringing any change in the attitude of people inside the bank. The leader
must possess a morally high personality. He should be willing to give
sacrifices of his own interests in the benefit of the bank.
The leader in an organization must be fully informed of all the happenings
of the market and must keep his organization equivalent to that. Not only
that, the personal knowledge of, relevant as well as irrelevant matters is an
important factor in the eyes of the bank and it matters a lot for the bank.

Women as Leaders
When we asked this controversial question from the HR manager, he replied
that there are a few women leaders in the bank as in the SEVP and GroupExecutive committee. The HBL team really wants to see women progressing
and achieving high position in the society. The bank has allocated a small
percentage of jobs for women. The bank believes in women leaders but
according to the management, one of major factors that dont let women step
out of their houses and perform extraordinary tasks is our cultural values and
customs. These customs literally dont let women step up and revolutionize
the world. In short the bank recognizes the fact that women can be leaders
and in some exceptional cases they even perform better than men.
GROUPS IN HBL
There are mainly two kinds of groups prevailing in the bank. One is the
formal group, which is formed by the management, which follows the
organization chart structure for processes and tasks. In this group, the
communication is also formal and there are very little personal relationshipsdeveloping in this kind of group.
On the other hand is the informal group. According to the workers this group
is usually beneficial for the new comers and inexperienced employees
because they can acquire the help of the experienced veterans and solve their
problems. These kinds of groups also prove significant when some orders or
policies are to be brought in the bank. The news is given to an individual and
he discusses it with his colleagues. In this way, the reactions of the
employees suggest whether to float that policy or not.

Managing Work Groups
At HBL, work groups are organized and managed by the supervisors of the
groups. The first thing considered is the type of work the group is
performing; the supervision is done in accordance to this work. Then thegroup members are told what they are supposed to do and every individual is
assigned a specific task. This is done considering his area of expertise. When
the group starts working, the supervisor keeps a check on its performance in
collaboration to the banks established objectives. The HBL uses this
strategy to manage its work groups.
Understanding People
Attitude and perception of the employees of Habib Bank Ltd. is a concern of
the related manager. The branch managers mainly do this task because they
are responsible for the performance of the workers of their branches. Hence
they are also the ones to help people change their perception and attitudes.

TYPES OF CONTROL
In HBL the main types of control are:
Pre control
Concurrent control
Feedback control
The bank performs the precontrol as it sets cost limits, areas to invest and
stuff like that.
The concurrent control is obviously performed as a monitoring process ofthe ongoing activities.
As far as the feedback is concerned the bank collects the project or problem
related feedback from the environmental surveys, researches, questioning
customers and even employees suggestions.
Information & Technology
The bank uses desktop pcs for accessing data, records and files. The
computers look to be in good condition and working well. The bank keeps
the records of its employees in the computers too. All these data volumes
become massive so there is regular upgrading of all the systems. Addition to
this, all the printers, scanners and other machines are well maintained and
are taken care by the management.
The bank has a huge line of ATMs where touch screens are used. These are
the technologies used by the bank.

CONCLUSION
Our suggestions To Habib Bank
We ourselves being students of management have come to a conclusion that
Habib Bank plans way too much for the future. They plan for around 10
years at once. This behavior may restrict them from gaining advantage from
the changing situation and environment. We have also studied that
Nothing is permanent but change
On this statement we think that they should limit their plans to a period of 2-
3 years which will result in adapting to change in trends, consumer needs
and competitors e.t.c.
We also came to know that Habib bank has over 1500 branches, and their
co-ordination has become a problem. Our suggestion is that, if they want to
utilize their resources to the extreme they should try and make their structure
more flat. It will result in quicker means of communication betweendifferent levels of organizational members and also in quicker means of
achieving goals.
Overall the Organization has progressed a lot in the recent past and will be
one of the leading banks in Pakistan in the years to come. The bank has done
a lot to maintain its positive image in the eyes of its stakeholders which
always results in gain in monetary terms or otherwise. We also think that the
bank in current hands will reach new and greater heights and will be as a
role model for all the upcoming banks in Pakistan.
