Cooperative Bank Internship Project 114o12

Year: 2012-13 INTRODUCTION 1.1 ABOUT BANKING INDUSTRY The word bank originated the French word ‗benque‘ or Italian ‗banco‘ which means an office for monitory transaction over the counter. In those days or desks were used as centers for monitory transactions. During the barter system also, there existed traces of banking, i.e. people used to deposit cattle and agricultural products in specified places get loans get loans of some other form in exchange for these. There is solid evidence found in records excavated form Mesopotamia, showing some bank existed around a standard for valuation. ORIGIN OF BANKING INDUSTRY Greece was the first country to introduce a satisfactory system of coinage. After the invention of Coins started, a meaningful system of banking came into existence taking into all the avenue of banking a credit system. Rome was the first country to start a bank at the department of state level in the 4 th century B.C. with transactions such as depositing and investments in other forms. In India ancient records show that banking was popular and money lending was a common practice among the common people. In the olden days‘ Goldsmith, merchants and money lenders conducted the business. They had transactions among themselves by which funds were transferred from one business firm to another. They had no general or uniform principles of banking, lending, rate of interest, etc. Co-operative sector has a long history of more than a century. In the co-operative movement, agriculture credit sector has acquired a special importance in order to avoid the exploitation o poor farmers from the middlemen and money lenders and to provide suitable assistance to the eligible farmers. As our nation is basically an agriculture country, agriculture credit systems plays an important role in the development of this sector. Through this system, the credit sector is extending helping hand to farmers in its own way to boost the agricultural production in the state in particular and in the country at large. KSC Apex bank over the ninety five years, since its inception has always come forward to extend its assuring hand to the farmers of the state through district central co-operative banks, primary agricultural co-operative credit system besides the bank is providing the needed financial assistance, for development of human resources, training, computerization and all other encouragement from time to time to the DCC banks and PACS. The Government of Karnataka has accepted Prof. Vaidyanathan‘s committee recommendations for revival of cooperative credit institutions and apex bank is committed to its successful implementation in the state.

Year: 2012-13 CO-OPERATIVE BANKS: The co-operative banks in India started functioning almost 100 years ago. The Co-operative bank is an important constituent of the Indian Financial System, judging by the role assigned to cooperative bank operate. Though the co-operative movement originated in the west, but the importance of such banks have assumed in India rarely paralleled anywhere else in the world. The co-operative bank I the urban areas also have increased phenomenally in recent years due to the sharp increase in the number of primary co-operative. While the co-operative banks in rural areas mainly finance agricultural based activities including farming, cattle, milk, hatchery, personal finance etc. along with some small scale industries and self-employment driven activities, the co-operative banks in urban areas mainly finance various categories of people for self-employment industries, small scale units, home finance, consumer finance, personal finance, etc. Co-operative Banks in India are regulated under the Co-operative Societies Act. The co-operative bank is also regulated by RBI. They are governed by the Banking Regulations Act 1949 and Banking Laws (Co-operative Societies) Act, 1965.

Year: 2012-13 INDUSTRY PROFILE INTRODUCTION Co-operative moment as an economic system and as best instrument to eradicate the poverty of the people and to protect them for the economic exploitation from the ‗haves‘ was introduced for the first time in the world with the organization of consumers‘ Co-operative society in 1844 at London. Later on the Co-operative movement was introduced in with an organization of Agricultural Credit Co-operative Societies (Urban Co-operative Banks) in towns and cities. Hence, if the England is the motherland for the whole Co-operative movement, the is the cradle for the Co-operative credit and Banks organizations. The co-operative movement in India was introduced with the organization on of primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Societies (PACS) in villages and Urban Co-operative banks in town and cities offer ing the Co-operative Credit societies act 1904 with an objective to emancipate the poor people in the rural and urban areas from the clutches of money lenders and middlemen in the market and also to accelerate the pace of agriculture and industrial developments in these areas. With the ing of second Act, viz, Co-operative Societies Act, 1912: the Co-operative movement in India entered into all sphere of economic activities besides organizing DCC banks and State Co-operative Apex Banks. Profiteering (at more prices) and usury (more interest) are the greatest evilsconst antly grinding the poor people down and hang them till their death. To do way profiteering, consumers marketing, processing industrial and other Co-operatives were organized and to minimize the usury the Co-operative credit and banking organizations were organized to protect the poor people from the exploitation by middle men in the market and to eschew them from the clutches of unbridled money lenders.

2.1 MEANING OF CO-OPERATIVE A co-operative bank is financial entity which belongs to its , who are at the same time the owners and the customers of their bank. Co-operative banks are often created by persons belonging to the same local or professional community or sharing common interest. DIFINITION OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKS In the words of Henry Wolff ―Co-operative banking is an agency which is in a position to deal with the small means on his own ‖. Devine defines ―a mutual society formed composed and governed by working people themselves for encouraging regular saving and generating miniature loans on easy of interest and repayments.

Year: 2012-13 FEATURES OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKS Some distinguishing features of the nature of co-operative banks are:  They are organized and managed on the principles of co-operation, self-help and mutual help.  Some of the well-developed co-operative banks are scheduled banks.  Co-operative banks are financial institution.  Co-operative banks belong to the money market and capital market.  Co-operative banks are also required to comply with requirements of SLR and CRR and liquidity requirements as other scheduled and non-scheduled banks.  Co-operative banks are perhaps the first government ed agency in India.  Co-operative banks accept all types of deposits including current, saving and fixed or time deposits from an individual both and non-. HISTORY OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKS The bank was formed in 1872 as the loan and deposit department of Manchester‘s co-operative Wholesale society, becoming the CWS bank four year later. However, the bank did not become a ed company until 1971. In 1975, the bank became the first new member of the committee of London Clearing Banks for 40years, and thus able to issue its own cheques. Since 1974 the cooperative banks has consistently offered free banking for personal customers who remain in credit. It was also first clearing bank to offer an interest bearing cheque called cheque and save, in 1982. In 1991 the bank shook the credit Card market when it introduced a guaranteed ―free for life‖ gold visa card.

ESTABLISHMENT OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKS IN INDIA Co-operative Banks in India were started during 1904 when official efforts were initiated to create a new type of institution based on the principles of co-operative organization and management which were considered to be suitable for solving the problems peculiar to Indian conditions. Co-operative banks were conceived and were expected to substitute such agencies to provide adequate short term and long term institutional credit at reasonable rates of interest, and to bring about integration of the unorganized and organized segments of India‘s money market. Farmers in India are scattered all over the country and need short term small borrowings for agricultural purposed. This need is not fulfilled by commercial banks, which are unsuited for financing agriculture. Land, which these farmers can offer to cover bank advances, is not generally accepted as security by commercial banks. Therefore, special types of banks are best suited for this purpose. The object of co-operative banks is to offer banking facilities to persons of limited means requiring credit for productive purposes in the use of the land and labor at their Bangalore Institute of Management Studies

Year: 2012-13 disposal. In 1914 the government of India appointed a committee under Sir Edward Mac lagan to survey the progress of co-operation in the country. The committee submitted its report in 1915, in which it made several recommendations, principal one being the institution of provincial cooperative pyramid. The present organization in India is based upon the findings of this report. In 1919, the Montague Chelmsford act made co-operation a provincial subject. Since then, all the state governments have ed their own separate co-operative societies acts. 2.2 MAIN FUNCTIONS OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKS

 Co-operative banks are organized and managed on the principal of co-operation, self-help and mutual help. They function with the rule of ―no profit, no loss‖ basis. Co-operative banks, as a principle, do not pursue the goal of profit maximization. Co-operative bank performs all the main banking functions of deposit mobilization, supply of credit and provision of remittance facilities. Co-operative banks provide limited banking products and are functionally specialists in agriculture related products. However, co-operative banks now provide housing loans also. UCB‘s provide working capital loans and term loan as well.

 Co-operative banks do banking business mainly in the agriculture and rural sector. However, UCBs, SCBs and CCBs operate in semi urban, urban and metropolitan areas also. The urban and non-agricultural business of these banks has grown over the years. The co-operative banks demonstrate a shift from rural to urban, while the commercial banks, from urban to rural. Co-operative banks belong to the money markers as well as to capital market. Primary agricultural credit societies provide short term and medium term loans.

 Co-operative banks in India finance rural areas under: i. Farming ii. Cattle iii. Milk iv. Hatchery v. Personal finance

 Co-operative banks in India finance urban areas under: i. Self-employment ii. Industries iii. Small scale units iv. Home finance Bangalore Institute of Management Studies

2.4 Future prospects of the industry: The Indian banking system, with its extensive branch network spread across the length and breadth of the country, has both depth and reach today. It is the spine of our entire financial system and the institutional framework within which financial markets operate. An economy that is growing at a steady clip of 9% needs a vibrant and dynamic banking system to keep pace with it.

Year: 2012-13 The co-operative banking structure in India may be divided into three component parts, they are

 Primary credit societies at the base  Central co-operative banks at the middle  Provincial or state co-operative banks (also called apex banks)at the top  Primary co-operative credit society Primary co-operative credit society is an association of borrowers and non-borrowers and deposits of and loans from central co-operative banks. The borrowing power of the as well as of the society is fixed. The loans are given to for the purchase of cattle, fodder, fertilizers pesticides, implements etc.

 Central co-operative societies Central co- operative societies are federation of primary credit societies as well as individuals. The funds of the bank consist of share capital, deposits, loans and overdrafts from state cooperative banks and t stocks. These banks finance member societies within the limits of the borrowing capacity of societies. They also conduct all the business of a t-stock bank.

 State co-operative bank State co-operative bank is a federation of central co-operative banks and acts as a watchdog of the co-operative banking structure in the state. Its funds are obtained from share capital, deposits, loans and overdrafts from the reserve bank of India. The state co-operative banks lend money of central co-operative banks and primary societies and not directly to farmers. SOURCES OF FUNDS FOR CO-OPERATIVE BANKS ARE:

 Central and state government  RBI and NABARD  Other co-operative institutions  Owned funds  Debentures issued  Deposit from public CLASSIFICATION OF CO-OPERTIVE BANKS Some co-operative banks are scheduled banks, while others are non-scheduled banks. For instance, SCBs and some UCBs are scheduled bank but other co-operative banks are nonscheduled banks. At present, 28 SCBs and 11 UCBs with demand and time liabilities over Rs.50crore each included in the second schedule of the RBI act.

As on 31st march, 2003 there were 2,104 UCBs of which 56 were scheduled banks. About 79% of these are located in 5 states- Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu. Recently the problems faced by a few large UCBs have highlighted some of the difficulties these banks face and policy endeavors are geared to consolidating and strengthening this sector and improving governance. There are more than 297 co-operative banks in India: TABLE – 2: States

INDIANSCENARIO The Indian banking system of today can be compared with finest banking system in the whole world. Today the Indian banking system is on very sound lines with a network of branch spared all over the country and serving all sections of the society with innovative banking programs. Today‘s Indian banking system comprises of 27 public sector banks,30 private sector non schedule commercial banks, several private sector new commercial banks, 27 foreign schedule banks, 196 regional rural banks, several thousand‘s Co- Operative banks and several land development banks. Institutions like Life Insurance Corporation of India and Unit Trust Bank of India also plays an important role in Indian banking system. Banking structure or banking system in India

Year: 2012-13 Indian commercial bank Banks that carry on commercial banking operation such as acceptance of deposits from the public, repayable on demand or alter a short period and the granting of short term credit mainly to trade, commerce and industry with a wide network of branches throughout the country.

2.5 ROLE OF CO-OPERATIVE BANKING IN INDIA: Co-operative Banks are much more important in India than anywhere else in the world. The distinctive character of this bank is service at a lower cost and service without exploitation. It has gained its importance by the role assigned to them, the expectations they are supposed to fulfill, their number, and the number of offices they operate. Co-operative banks role in rural financing continues to be important day by day, and their business in the urban areas also has increased phenomenally in recent years mainly due to the sharp increase in the number of primary Cooperative banks. In rural areas, as far as the agricultural and related activities are concerned, the supply of credit was inadequate, and money lenders would exploit the poor people in rural areas providing them loans at higher rates. So, Co-operative banks mobilize deposits and purvey agricultural and rural credit with a wider outreach and provide institutional credit to the farmers. Co-operative bank have also been an important instrument for various development schemes, particularly subsidy-based programmes for poor.

2.6 PROBLEMS OF CO-OPERATIVE BANK: Co-operative banks are no exceptions when it comes to problems. As in the case of commercial banks, these do have certain problem:  The vital link in co-operative credit system namely, the primary co-operative associations themselves are weak.  They suffer from weak quality of loan assets and force unsatisfactory recovery of loans.  They suffer from infrastructure weakness and structural flaws.  They suffer to some extent officially and politically.

Year: 2012-13 COMPANY PROFILE BACKGROUND AND INCEPTION OF THE COMPANY The Karnataka State Co-operative Apex Bank Limited (hereinafter referred to as ―The Bank‖) is a Scheduled Co-operative Bank incorporated under the Karnataka State Co-operative Societies Act 1959. It was established in 1915 and is meant to act an Apex Body to finance agriculture sector through the District Central Co-operative Banks and Primary Agriculture Co-operative Societies. In the later years the Apex Bank diversified its activities into commercial banking. Today it has 40 branches in Bangalore city through which it carries out commercial banking activities. It does not have any branches outside Bangalore. HISTORY OF KSCABL The bank was ed on 10th November 1915 under the name and style of ―The Mysore Provincial Co-operative Bank Limited‖, under Mysore Co-operative Societies Act of 1905. Then, the Bank was not an Apex institution, as it was not exclusively meant for financing the Cooperative in the State of Mysore. Another Bank Called the Bangalore Central Co-operative Bank Limited, Bangalore (which was later converted into an urban bank), which was ed in 1905, was also financing the Co-operatives. The bank owes its origin to Sri. M.A. Narayan Iyengar, B.A., B.L., who was the Registrar of Co-operative Societies at that time.

Sri. Varadaraja Iyenger Founder – KSCABL The bank was founded with the objective of financing, inspecting and supervising the Cooperative societies in the Mysore State. Subsequently, several district Co-operative central banks with the jurisdiction of a district were ed. Five such district central banks were started. But their working was not satisfactory and they became defunct. An such the provincial bank started financing the societies directly. Besides granting of loans, the bank served as an outlet for investment of the surplus finds of the Co-operative societies in the State. The Bank thus acts as the balancing centre of the Co-operative movement in the State, safeguarding its interests.


Page 14

Year: 2012-13 NEED FOR APEX BANK Karnataka has been in the forefront of co-operative endeavors and has produced several outstanding cooperatives. Sri. Siddanagowda Sanna Ramanagowda Patil organized the first Agricultural credit co-operative society in 1905 in the village of Kanaginal in Gadag district. The co-operatives in Karnataka have the following fundamental objectives and principles:  To inculcate the spirit of cooperative among the people in the state.  To encourage people to promote cooperatives on a voluntary basis.  To ensure that the cooperatives in the state enjoy maximum autonomy.  To ensure that the cooperatives are able to .  To ensure that the cooperatives function as instruments for poverty alleviation and for the uplift of weaker sections of the society in order to pave way for establishing an equalitarian society.  To ensure that the cooperative function as useful instruments to bring about sustained improvement in the quality of life of their .  To encourage cooperatives to emerge as self ing, economic service-oriented business concerns.  To encourage cooperatives serve as multifunctional units.  To encourage efficient deposit mobilization.  To encourage efficient deployment of human resources.  To achieve financial gains and to put mutual aim ahead of private interest.  To provide equal opportunities to all the .  To encourage cooperatives to emerge as peoples bank.  To prevent misuse by cooperators.  To ensure independent audit.  To infuse professionalism in the management.  To serve towards national objectives.  To have Cooperators among the Cooperatives. Initial Stages of Co-operative Movement The Co-operative Movement in the old Mysore area was first introduced in 1905 when the first Mysore Co-operative Societies Act was ed. The progress of the movement was slow up to 1910-11. However, in the course of the next few years, there was rapid development. There were 111 societies with a hip of 9043 and a working capital of Rs. 3.71lakhs at the close of


Page 15

Year: 2012-13 1910-11. By the end of financial year 1914-15, there were 725 societies with a hip of 56,267 and their working capital went up to Rs.30.85lakhs. Need for a Separate Provincial Bank During the period when the Co-operative Movement was introduced, the need for an Apex Bank to finance the societies was not felt since most of the earlier societies, which were started, were non-agricultural societies and they were carrying on their activities out of the meager resources raised by them. But after the year 1910-11, the number of societies and out of which 661 were agricultural credit societies. With the increase in the number of societies, the need for starting a special agency for financing the societies arose. As already indicated above, the Bangalore central co-operative bank was already in the field and was financing some societies to a small extent. Subsequently, however, another institution more or less similar in nature with the jurisdiction of Mysore District called the Mysore District Co-operative Central Bank was ed. This was followed by another type of institution known as unions, which was designed to work as a permanent link between the primary societies at the base and the central bank at the top. The jurisdiction of the unions extended over a taluk and their main functions were to mainly inspect and supervise the co-operative societies in the taluk and also to finance them partly by raising deposits and partly by borrowings from central banks. But since their utility to the movement as a whole was far from satisfactory on of their limited area of operations and lack of resources, the unions; were wounded up in the next few years by an order of Government in December 1924. Starting of the Provincial Co-operative Bank Against this background, the Mysore Provincial Co-operative Bank came into existence. Though this Bank was ed on 10-11-1915, it actually commenced its work in 1916. The bank was started with the objective of financing, inspection and supervising the co-operative societies in the Mysore State. Subsequently, several district co-operative central banks with the jurisdiction of a district were ed. Five such district central banks were started. But their working was not satisfactory and they became defunct. As such, the provincial bank started financing the societies directly. Besides, granting of loans, the Bank served as an outlet for investment of the surplus funds of the co-operative societies in the State. The Bank thus began acting as the balancing centre of the Co-operative Movement in the State, safeguarding its interests. Re-organization of Provincial Co-operative into an Apex Bank As already stated above, there were two provincial co-operative organizations working on similar lines and with the same aims and objects, namely (1) The Mysore Provincial Co-operative Bank, Bangalore Institute of Management Studies

Page 16

Year: 2012-13 (2) Bangalore Central Co-operative Bank. This was an anomaly, which led to mutual completion unnecessarily in the matter of financing of co-operative societies. In order to remove this anomaly and to have only one institution as an Apex institution exclusively for financing the cooperatives in the state, the Government appointed an enquiry committee known as the Mysore Co-operative Enquiry Committee, 1920-22 presided over by Mr.Lallubhai Samakdas. The Committee after reviewing the position of these two banks, made the following three alternative recommendations to the Government:  To amalgamate the Mysore Provincial Co-operative Bank and the Bangalore Central Cooperative Bank.  To create a new Apex Bank.  To convert the Central Co-operative Bank into an urban bank dealing only with the individual and to reorganize the provincial Co-operative Bank into a new Apex Bank. The Bangalore Central Co-operative Bank opposed the amalgamation with the provincial Cooperative Bank. Thus, the creation of a new Apex Bank was out of question. The Government therefore accepted the third suggestions made by the Committee. Accordingly, the Government ed orders on 14/15.09.1925 permitting the Mysore Provincial Cooperative Bank to get itself converted into an Apex Bank with the jurisdiction extending over the entire State for financing the co-operative societies exclusively and the Bank thereafter was named as the Mysore Provincial Co-operative Apex Bank Ltd, popularly known as ―Apex Bank‖. In the beginning, the Bank was advancing long-term loans through agricultural credit cooperatives for land improvements and redemption of prior debts. Large amounts were given for the above purposes. After the organization of Central Co-operative Land Mortgage Bank in the year 1929 and Primary Land Mortgage Banks at the taluk level, the Bank had to give up this model of business. On of depression between the years 1925-30, the value of lands and the prices of agricultural produce fell very steeply and the Bank had to face a lot of difficulties in the recovery of long term loans advanced. However, during Second World War, there was rise in the land value and agricultural prices and the Bank could therefore recover a major portion of its dues. In order to meet the loss of business on of stoppage of long-term loans for land improvements and redemption of prior debts consequent on the organization of Central Land Mortgage Bank, the Bank started financing of long-term loans for construction of houses through House Building and House Construction Societies. Besides, on of Second World War, there was great stimulus for consumer stores activities for distribution of essential commodities Bangalore Institute of Management Studies

Page 17

Year: 2012-13 through co-operatives. The Bank undertook the financing of these consumer societies in the form of cash credit loan. The financing of House Building Societies continued up to the year 1950 when a separate Apex Institution called the Mysore State Co-operative House Building Corporation was ed. The Government thereupon directed the Bank not to issue loans to the House Building Societies. This was a period of crisis in the history of the Bank. The Bank had to satisfy itself by financing a few marketing societies by way of crop and produce loans and a few stores societies. Fortunately for the bank, consequent to the amendment to the Reserve Bank of India Act during 1953-54, the RBI suggested that the State Government should step into strengthen the capital structure by contributing Rs. 5lakh towards share capital of Apex Bank. Accepting the proposal, the State Government contributed Rs. 5lakh towards share capital and rehabilitation grand of Rs. 4lakh to meet anticipated bad debts. During the year 1956-57, States were reorganized on linguistic basis and the new Mysore State with 19 districts came into existence. Since there were District Cooperative Central Banks in all the integrated districts, all the District Cooperative Central Banks came under the jurisdiction of Apex Bank. Further the State Government notified the Apex Bank as the State Cooperative Bank for the entire state and with the expansion, the responsibility of the Bank increased considerably. The Bank stopped financing of primary societies directly. The hip and share capital held by primary societies in Apex Bank was transferred to the respective District Cooperative Central Banks. There was all round progress in the cooperative movement with the reorganization of the State and also in all spheres of activities of the Apex Bank like share capital, reserves, deposits, borrowings, lending, profit etc. APEX BANK-―The Bank that listens‖ Karnataka State Co-operative Apex Bank is playing a significant role in the dispensation of production credit to the farmers. It is to the credit of Karnataka that the first co-operative credit institution in the entire country was established way back in the year 1904 in a village called Kanaginahal now at Gadag district, Primary Agriculture Credit Societies (PACs) at the village level federation later to District Central Co-operative Banks (DCCBs) at the district level. These DCC banks federated themselves at the state level to form Apex Bank. The Karnataka State Co-operative Bank (KSCBL) was established in the year 1915 with deposit of Rs.1.26lakh, owned funds of Rs.0.54lakh and working capital of Rs.1.80lakh. Varadaraj Iyenger was its founder and president. The president of KSCBL at present is Mr.R.M.Manjunatha

Year: 2012-13 Gowda. The bank has been extending its continued service for the past 95years to its and customers. Apex bank is a pioneer in agriculture finance and allied activities. Apex Bank is ranked as one of the premier state co-operative banks in the country. The main objective of the bank are to serve the farmers in the state by providing short and medium term agriculture loans, general banking business and functions as a leader of co-operative banks in the state. Apex bank also provides cash credit loans to processing, marketing and consumer co-operatives as well as sugar factories in Karnataka and working capital loans to state level and national level institutions. Apex bank with a network of 40 branches in the city of Bangalore doesn‘t believe in growing alone. It has a firm believe that its continued existence is justified only when the DCC banks and the PACs are made stronger. Today the bank has 21DCC banks and 4613 PACSs throughout the state. All branches are computerized. They believe that the farmers who borrow from them are not their clients but are of their own family . Here lays their main strength, ensuring an excellent track record for repayment culture. Compared to commercial banks and regional rural banks, NPA (Non-performing assets) level of this bans is for less, even through its aim is to reduce it further. The bank is habituated to get awards at the national level year after year. Similarly NABARD (National Agricultural bank of rural development) has been given best performance award and even PACSs have not lacked behind in getting national recognition. All DCC banks and nearly 80% of PACSs have proved them to be financially viable. They are aware of the problems faced by the farmers, be it non-remuneration price or occasional drought like situation in the state. This bank is committed to provide whatever little assistance to the state government to overcome these difficulties. They are aware of their limitations; their market share in the production credit dispensation has to go up. There are yet cover 20lakhs farmer .

Year: 2012-13 MCKINSEY 7S FRAMEWORK The 7 S Framework of Mc Kinsey is a model that describes 7 factors to organize a company in a holistic and effective way. Together these factors determine the way in which a corporation operates. Manager should take into all seven factors, to be sure of successful implementation of strategy. Origin of McKinney’s 7-S Model: Richard Pascal and Anthony Athos fist mentioned the 7-S Frame work in ―The Art of Japanese Management‖ in 1982. They had investing how Japanese industry had been successful. At around the same time that Tom Peters and Robert Waterman were exploring what made a company excellent. The Seven S model was born at a meeting of these four authors in 1978. It appeared also ―In search of Excellence‖ by peters and Waterman, and was taken up as a basic tool by the global management consultancy company McKinsey. Since then it is known as their 7-S Model. These seven elements are distinguished into hard S‘s and soft S‘s. The hard elements are feasible and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy statements, corporate plans, organizational charts and other documents. The outstanding feature of the 7 S models is that, it has been tested extensively by McKinsey‘s Consultants in their studies of many companies. At the same time, thus theory and practices seem to each in a study of management. This model also s the five managerial functions i.e. Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Leading / Directing and Controlling. The four S‘s however, are feasible. They are difficult to describe since capabilities, values are elements of corporate culture are continuously developing the changing. They are highly determined by the people at work in the organization. Therefore, it is much more difficult to plan or to influence the characteristics of the soft elements. Although the often factor‘s is below the surface, they can have a great impact of the hard structure, strategies and systems of the organization. By the words above implies that the company should apply McKinsey‘s 7 S Model for its better performance.

The 7S model can be used in a wide variety of situations where an alignment perspective is useful, for example to help you:

Year: 2012-13 SWOT ANALYSIS Organizational strategies are the means through which companies accomplish their missions and goals. Successful strategies address four elements of the setting within which the company operates: the company‘s strengths, its weaknesses, the opportunities in its competitive environment, and the threats in its competitive environment. This set of four elements—strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats-when used by a firm to gain competitive advantage, is often referred to as a SWOT analysis. SWOT was developed by Ken Andrews in the early 1970s. An assessment of strengths and weaknesses occurs as a part of organizational analysis; that is, it is an audit of the company‘s internal workings, which are relatively easier to control than outside factors. Conversely, examining opportunities and threats is a part of environmental analysis-the company must look outside of the organization to determine opportunities and threats, over which it has lesser control. Strength and weakness are the internal factors of the organization and which are controllable. Opportunities and threats are external factors of the organization and which are uncontrollable.
