21. DILEMMA FACED BY ORGANIZATION:

In this topic the most important problems are included which are widely present at the organizational level.
1. PROBLEMS AT THE BRANCHES OF NBP:-

2) Poor record management and filing system:
3) Unequal distribution of work:
4) Marketing visits:
22. 2. FUNNCTIONAL PROBLEMS:-

Lack of business communication
23. CONCLUSION:
The primary objective of NBP was to purchase jute from
the growers in the former East Pakistan and also to perform
the commercial banking functions in the country.
The strength of this bank is that it is acting as Agent of
State Bank of Pakistan, providing Agency Arrangements for
different government organizations include WAPDA and PIA,
Profitability and a vide coverage throughout Pakistan.
The challenge it is facing is currently the lack of
implementation of rules and regulations that may lead to
weak organizational culture, old organizational culture, no
regular promotions practices and not much use of IT
technology in bank as other are using.
As analysis shows that NBP is a most growing organization
with highest return on capital, largest market share amongst
all Pakistani banks and cost to income ratio is the highest in
banking sector. But there is further need for improvement to
overcome weaknesses and to maintain its position as an
“Asian Tiger” in banking field.
