country is measured based on how well the banking sector of country works.

Banking flow charts (also called workflows or process maps) capture the sequence of work
activities that occur when performing tasks like loan application processing or new account
opening. Banks use these flow charts as tools to improve employee productivity, customer
service and profitability. Banks can also use workflows to identify automation opportunities,
and capture the details required to automate selected tasks (i.e., keystrokes, business rules,
logic, etc.).
Improve Compliance & Reduce Risk: Human error in processes such as know your
customer (KYC) and credit review cause more than re-work – they can expose the
bank to regulatory and financial risk. Documenting error root causes and removing
needless variation from these processes can help standardize the work and mitigate
possible risk.

CHAPTER-3
Mckensy’S 7S Framework:
The McKinsey 7s model is a strategic tool and framework that helps managers and businesses
assess their performance. The McKinsey 7s model identifies 7 key elements for an
organization that need to be focused and aligned for successful change management
processes as well as for regular performance enhancements.
The 7 elements identified in the McKinsey 7s model can be categorized as being hard or soft
in nature. They are identified as:
Hard elements:
The hard elements of the McKinsey 7s model comprise of strategy, structure, and systems.
The hard elements of the model are easier to identify, more tangible in nature, and directly
controlled and influenced by the leadership and management of the organization.
Strategy:

strategy. These elements are less tangible in nature and are more influenced by the

important for an organization‘s success and improved performance.

Porter Five (5) Forces Model was proposed by Michael E. Porter in 1979. The purpose
was to assess and evaluate the competitive positioning and strengths of business
organisations. The model has three horizontal competitive forces (Threat of Substitute
Products or services, the threat of new entrants and rivalry among existing firms) and two
vertical forces (Bargaining power of buyers and bargaining power of suppliers).
These forces shape the competition within any industry. The overall industry
competitiveness declines when these forces reduce profitability. Porter found SWOT
analysis lacking in rigour. Many new companies use the Porter Five (5) Forces Model to
decide whether it is profitable to enter in a particular industry.
Application of this model can help Canara Bank Turnaround to determine the industry
attractiveness and understand its competitive positioning in the market. The analysis can
also be used to make some strategically wise decisions that could improve the
performance of Canara Bank Turnaround and ensure long-term survival.
Threat of new entrants reflects how new market players impose threats to the existing
market players. If the industry will be profitable and barriers to enter the industry will be
low, it will attract more players and hence, the threat of new entrants will be high. If there
is strong threat of new entrants then current players will be willing to earn less profits to
reduce the threats.
Here are some factors that reduce the threat of new entrants for Canara Bank Turnaround:
Entry in the industry requires substantial capital and resource investment. This force
also loses the strength if product differentiation is high and customers place high
importance to the unique experience.
Canara Bank Turnaround will face the low threat of new entrants if existing
regulatory framework imposes certain challenges to the new firms interested to enter
in the market. In this case, new players will be required to fulfil strict, time consuming
regulatory requirements, which may discourage some players from entering the
market.
The threat will be low if psychological switching cost for consumers is high and
existing brands have established a loyal customer base.
New entrants will be discouraged if access to the distribution channels is restricted.
Canara Bank Turnaround will be facing high new entrants threat if:
Threat of substitute:
However, this threat is substantially low for Canara Bank Turnaround when;
The switching cost of using the substitute product is high (due to high psychological
costs or higher economic costs)
Customers cannot derive the same utility (in terms of quality and performance) from
substitute product as they derive from the Canara Bank Turnaround‘s product.
Industry rivalry:
The Rivalry among existing firms shows the number of competitors that give tough
competition to the Canara Bank Turnaround High rivalry shows Canara Bank Turnaround
can face strong pressure from the rival firms, which can limit each other‘s growth potential.
Profitability in such industries is low as firms adopt aggressive targeting and pricing
strategies against each other.
The Rivalry among existing firms will be low for Canara Bank Turnaround if:
Bargaining power of suppliers in the Porter 5 force model reflects the pressure exerted by
suppliers on business organisations by adopting different tactics like reducing the product
availability, reducing the quality or increasing the prices. When suppliers have strong
bargaining power, it costs the buyers- (business organisations). Moreover, high supplier
bargaining power can increase the competition in the industry and lower the profit and
growth potential for Canara Bank Turnaround Similarly, weak supplier power can make the
industry more attractive due to high profitability and growth potential.
Bargaining power of suppliers will be high for Canara Bank Turnaround if:
Suppliers have concentrated into a specific region, and their concentration is higher
than their buyers.
This force is particularly strong when the cost to switch from one supplier to other is
high for buyers (for example, due to contractual relationships).
When suppliers are few and demand for their offered product is high, it strengthens
the suppliers‘ position against Canara Bank Turnaround
Suppliers‘ forward integration weakens the Canara Bank Turnaround‘s position as
they also become the competitors in that area.
If Canara Bank Turnaround is not well educated, does not have adequate market
knowledge and lacks the price sensitivity, it automatically strengthens the suppliers'
position against the organisation.
Other factors that increase the suppliers‘ bargaining power include-high product
differentiation offered by suppliers, Canara Bank Turnaround making only a small
proportion of suppliers‘ overall sales and unavailability of the substitute products.
Bargaining Power of Buyers:
Bargaining power of buyers indicates the pressure that customers exert on the business
organisations to get high quality products at affordable prices with excellent customer
service. This force directly influences the Canara Bank Turnaround‘s ability to accomplish
the business objectives. Strong bargaining power lowers profitability and makes the industry
more competitive. Whereas, when buyer power is weak, it makes the industry less
competitive and increase the profitability and growth opportunities for Canara Bank
Turnaround
There are some factors that increase the bargaining power of buyers:
A more concentrated customer base increases their bargaining power against Canara
Bank Turnaround

their position in the market. Backward integration shows the buyers' ability to produce
the products themselves instead of purchasing them from Canara Bank Turnaround
Consumers‘ price sensitivity, high market knowledge and purchasing standardised
products in large volumes also increase the buyers' bargaining power.

Marketing is Poor –
Being a public bank in India the marketing focus is very less and hence this leads to
low publicity in the market despite offering good banking facilities and experience to
the customers. Bank does not have a marketing department which focuses on
increasing the awareness of the bank in the market.
Customer Service is Poor –
The banking industry in India is very competitive and customer service is one thing
which uniquely differentiates the bank. Canara bank has not been able to deliver a
good customer service. Customers are generally not happy with the way staff handles
the queries and imparts services at the banks. Also, the online banking facilities are
not very well developed.
Client Base is Poor –
The bank does not have a good customer base of high-income groups. Thus the
revenue generation is from low-income groups which do not increase the bottom line
of the bank and hence the growth is slow.
Implementation of Technology in Processes –
Even though Canara Bank has integrated technology in the backend processes it has
still not able to harness the power of technology in the front end processes.
Low Return on Investment –
Even though Canara Bank is having a stable balance sheet, one metrics that needs
reflection is ―Return on Invested Capital‖. According to R.R. Sharma, Deepak
Tandon in areas financial management that Canara Bank operates in the most reliable
measure of profitability is Return on Invested Capital rather than one favoured by
financial analysts such as – Return on Equity & Return on Assets.
Opportunities:

leverage either to consolidate existing market position or use them for further expansion.
Opportunities can emerge from various factors such as - changes in consumer preferences,
increase in consumer disposable income, political developments & policy changes,
technological innovations, and economic growth.
Rural Banking –
The bank can explore more aspects of rural banking as the majority of Indians are
living in the rural areas and hence by fulfilling their banking needs the bank can grow
its revenue.
Social Banking –
In the era of social media the banks are adopting social channels and hence catering to
the needs of customers using an additional challenge and saving their time to visit
physical banks.
Increasing Standardization –
Canara Bank can leverage this trend to reduce the number of offerings in the market
and focus the marketing efforts on only the most successful products.
Developments in Artificial Intelligence –
Canara Bank can use developments in artificial intelligence to better predict consumer
demand, cater to niche segments, and make better recommendation engines.
Increase in Consumer Disposable Income –
Canara Bank can use the increasing disposable income to build a new business model
where customers start paying progressively for using its products. According to R.R.
Sharma, Deepak Tandon of Canara Bank Turnaround case study, Canara Bank can
use this trend to expand in adjacent areas financial management.
Threats:
This analysis helps in understanding what are the areas which can impact the business in
future or right away. So, business has to prepare itself to handle the threats in the market
landscape. Competition or increasing number of players in the market with same value
proposition is a threat to business as it directly lowers down the customer base and revenue
