3.1 Introduction:
Every Successful banker has to manage the organization with its other banking activities.
Although a bank is a financial institution, like other business its main objective is to maximize
wealth through earning profit. Bank business is different from other business. Other businesses
can export its goods or services to factory or office or far-away even in foreign countries. But
bank can transfer fund or expand services after fulfilling the demand of loan of its office or
branch area. High-quality service can be offered by efficient management. Efficient
management needs efficient organization management. So, efficient management is impossible
without the clear authority and duties of an organization.
Peter F. Drucker says, “The manager has the task of creating a true whole that is larger than
the sum of its parts, a productive entity that turns out more than the sum of the resources put
into it.”

Motivation Coordination
In every organization, there should be systems which will help the employees to judge himself
or herself logically.
A manager has to use the assessment tools properly. Besides, determining the evaluation
criteria, banks should ensure positive evaluation system to establish efficient management. If
the assessment is helpful to overcome the weak side of the employees, they will be motivated
towards work.
Prize, honorary and remuneration are three tools of motivation. But they are not directly related
to motivation. But incase of giving credit to self-motivated manager a good reward system is
necessary to motivate managers.
Most of the people want success in the professional life. So an efficient manager gives freedom
to subordinates to reach better position. Because they know that the high skilled employees
will take another job to reach better position. In this way, managers try to improve the work
efficiency of the employees by giving freedom to reach better position some where else.
The number of members in the board to form a bank is not confined and restricted. The shape,
size and the efficiency of the promoter is expressed by the size of the board of directors.
However, the directors of the bank may be in two types- full time and part time. The part time
directors participate the pre determined meeting at a specific agenda. On the other hand, though
the full time directors are not the paid employee or officer, he/she performs the special
responsibility for the sake of the bank. He gets honorary, house rent, meeting fee for this
purpose.
A director cannot hold this position over the specific number of firms in some countries.
However, in case of appointing the directors of national bank, government influence is much
more. Sometimes specialized persons from inside or outside the bank may be appointed. The
central bank defines the maximum and minimum number of the directors. In USA this number
is maximum 25 and minimum 5.

2. Shareholders:
Directors are the agents of the shareholders. They are elected on the basis of promise for
keeping the interest of the shareholders in the annual general meeting. It is expected that
directors will keep sight on the following matters on behalf of the shareholders-
✓ Keep sight so that shareholders also get their dividend like other owners
✓ Develop innovative ideas so that goodwill of bank increase
✓ Giving successful lead on behalf of shareholders within the bank and with the related
parties.
✓ Implementing such kind of project so that bank staffs can sell service profitably.
✓ Making plan on the basis of future profit thinking
3. Central bank:
Central bank is the guardian and leader of the banks of a country. The government of a country
controls the banking system especially commercial banks for keeping public interest with the
help of central bank. The expectation of central bank from the bank directors is as follows:
✓ Operate banking activities by following the guidelines of banking law and overall
the constitution of the country.
✓ Submittal reports of central bank on specific matters at a specific maturity such as:
appropriately preparation and submission of weekly statement, monthly statement,
quarterly statement and semi-annual statement on due date
✓ Implementation of the advised steps faithfully and sincerely provided by the
inspection team of the central bank after examining the activities of bank for making
correction of the errors.
✓ Accept the punitive actions taken for repetitive negligence of instructions.
4. Tax authority:
For implementing the traditional fiscal policies, supporting the tax authority is the sense of duty
of bank. According to the fiscal law, on which inflow of fund, profit tax is payable, it is the
moral duty of the directors to help the tax staffs spontaneously. Sometimes, bank can help the
fiscal authority to collect the source tax from the clients.
Time to time, those clients who paid tax, have to prepare tax statement for submitting to the
tax authority. For verification of the accuracy of those data, bank can help the tax authority by
supplying the confidential information.
5. Government:
Banks act as an important tool for the economic activities of the country. For implementation
of the long term goal or overall plan of the country, directors of the banks can actively help the
government by increasing or reducing the loan supply. For example, for export generating and
income-generating activities for financial development of the backdated group, production of
food grains or production of exported oriented food grains; bank directors should help the
government actively by keeping balance of the loan program.
6. Society:
Bank is a created individual by law and it is being treated as a member of the society.
The responsibility of directors is to participate in the social activities on demand of the society
without hampering its own business. Including America, in west, “Business ethics social
responsibilities” has been developed as a result of the movement of the consumers. As bank is
a business organization so bank directors must be aware about sacrificing of policy and not
involved with the responsibility less activity towards the society. It is not right to help everyone
in economic activities by providing loan. It is not desirable to help the businessman and the
enemy of the country by providing loan to legal acts whose are engaged in economic activities
against the law and constitution of the country: smuggling, drugs and unsocial activities and it
is absurd in the sense of business rule and responsibility to the society.
Bank directors would lead on the bank activities profitably without ignoring the legal
expectation of the stakeholders. Otherwise, they will be treated as duty negligent.
Managing directors
Bank management
So management board of directors is different but one is related to other. If right person is
rewarded for his activities the management achieves the targeted goal.
1. Executive Committee
The By Laws of the company empower this committee. The EC usually takes any decision on
behalf of the board of directors. Before any meeting of the board of directors, the EC usually
take decision. The decisions of the EC should get approved from the next meeting of the board
of the directors. It should be clearly mentioned that the EC does not have any power to declare
the dividends, to change the By Laws of the Company, or to change any rules of the bank
management.
2. Loan Committee
This committee is given the permission to consider some loan applications up to a certain limit.
But, it should be clearly disclosed here that this body must not violate the loan policy of that
particular bank. A loan application above the five lacs, for example, could be sanctioned by the
Loan Committee but need the approval of the next board of directors’ meeting. But, any
application above one crore must refer to the meeting of the board of directors. The Loan
Committee does not have any power to sanction the application.
3. Investment Committee:
This committee usually considers the Investment proposal to the banks. But, it must comply
the Investment Policy of the Bank. The maturity of the investment portfolio, measurement of
the investment is basically decided by this committee. What is decided in the Investment
committee is final. It need to forward to the board of directors’ meeting.
4. Salary and Employee Relations Committee:
In the competitive market economy, the competition is really very high. The Financial
Institutions including Banking Industry are to face a serous competition. For that why, the
institutions must appoint highly skilled, potential as well as experienced officials. This
committee appoints these sorts of highly skilled officials in order to compete in the economy.
This body usually prepares a pay scale for the bank employees so that it could attract the
existing employees in this industry.
5. Examining and Audit Committee:
This committee is basically liable for the inspection as well as audit of the finical transaction
of the bank. The committee usually examines whether the bank management is following the
accounting as well as auditing standards of the bank. Even this committee is responsible for
the examination of the financial transactions of any particular branch. If the bank management
is not sufficient enough to provide expert in this committee, the committee, however, could
include more members from the external sources. Though this inspection is a responsibility of
an external auditor the bank could easily initiate to recheck the finical transactions of the daily
banking business in order to boost the banking activities. The jobs of this committee, no doubt,
enhance the image of the bank.
6. Management Evaluation Committee:
Either the bank itself or any appointed management consultancy firm can evaluate the
management policy of the bank, MIS, Credit Management or other issues related to the bank
management.
7. Trust Committee:
This committee usually inspects or checks the financial transactions of different investment
portfolios and measure the income source from that particular investment. This body usually
forwards to the board of directors those sorts of investments that yield higher but incur more
risk.
8. Discount Committee:
One of the busiest committees of the commercial banks is the Discount Committee. This body
basically implements the following jobs like determining interest rate, designing the deposits
and the investment figure and increase or decrease of any Credit.
9. Business Development Committee:
These committees could be two types in nature. Firstly, one team that would innovate newer
Financial Products or Services and secondly, another would increase or build awareness among
the customers. Whatever the committee decides the management would initiate the decision
in order to boom the banking business.
3.3 Conclusion:
In order to boom the banking business, the bank management should efficient as well as skill.
They need to adopt the latest developments in the field of banking business. If any a bank
would like to survive in this industry especially in this open market economy, it must
modernize its organizational management. The sound as well as skill directors including an
efficient CEO must help the bank to boom in the economy.
