State Bank of India (SBI) (LSE: SBID) is the largest bank in India. It is also, measured by the number of branch offices and employees, the second largest bank in the world. The bank was established in 1806 as Bank of Calcutta. It is the oldest commercial bank in the Indian Subcontinent. The Government of India nationalised SBI in 1955 with the Reserve Bank of India having a 60% stake. SBI provides a range of banking products through its vast network in India and overseas, including products aimed at NRIs. With an asset base of $126 billion and its reach, it is a regional banking behemoth. SBI has laid emphasis on reducing the huge manpower through Golden handshake schemes and computerizing its operations. The Bank has also been unsuccessfully trying to improve service quality through a programme called 'Parivartan' or 'Change'. After a 20 year hiatus the Bank will be recruiting 20000 clerks and 3500 officers.[citation needed] So far, more than 2.4 million have applied. Contents

[edit] History
The roots of the State Bank of India rest in the first decade of 19th century, when the Bank of Calcutta, later renamed the Bank of Bengal, was established on 2 June 1806. The Bank of Bengal and two other Presidency banks, namely, the Bank of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July 1843). All three Presidency banks were incorporated as joint stock companies, and were the result of the royal charters. These three banks received the exclusive right to issue paper currency in 1861 with the Paper Currency Act, a right they retained until the formation of the Reserve Bank of India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921, and the reorganized banking entity took as its name Imperial Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India continued to remain a joint stock company. Pursuant to the provisions of the State Bank of India Act...

In respects to project management there are three primary organizational break downs they are functional structure, pure project structure, and matrix structure. We will take a look into each of these structures to better identify the similarities and differences between them. Functional Structure In a functional arrangement, power or status is defined by a vertical hierarchy. This structure clearly defines the roles and responsibilities of its members and the chain of command is plainly outlined. (Kerzner, 2003). Functional structure is seen in large organizations such as the central government, polices forces and the armed forces. Large businesses have continuous rolling programs of similar repetitive or semi-repetitive work and this structure is typically used to improve systems, procedures, methods or products within the company.

    ...Organizational Structure Sean A. Helm Management 330 Management for Organizations Professor Paul Verlasky Ashford University May 8, 2013 Organizational Structure At the core of every business lie the employees who carry out the everyday task and constantly push production. The employees are the life blood of an organization and single handedly cant make or break the business. As we go through our everyday life we see examples of good employees and bad. There are many different organizations where employees do the bare minimum of what it takes to just get their paycheck, and it really shows. I try at all cost to avoid these places. On the other side of the spectrum you have employees who constantly strive to give their best and do whatever it takes to make the customer happy. When I find business’s like this I don’t mind spending a little bit of extra money on a product because I know if the employee takes pride in their work, the employer probably takes pride in their product. A perfect example of this is the Starbucks organization. Transforming a server, into a Barista. The Starbucks franchise has done an outstanding job a breaking down a job description and job specification. They go beyond the standard descriptions such as, “serve coffee to customers. Have a smile while you serve customers. Always remember, the customer is always right….etc”, and really take it to a whole new level making it able to...

Google is well-known for their unusual culture which helps and promotes employee creativity. This business is inventive and embraces change, growth, and advancements in all areas. Google has been able to create new innovations and consistently changes its business model. Google differs from other organizations that have not mastered the idea of embracing business and technology as a main focal point. The K-Mart/Sears merger is a prime example of still unable to make their business sustainable. Sears signature was offering their customers catalogs by mail. When the decision to stop mail catalogs was made, their company took a set back and Sears lost a lot of their sales. Making decisions that go against what the company is well-known for is not advancing the growth of the organization (Clifford, 2010). Google continues to find their residence within many diversified areas in technology; K-Mart/Sears do not. Another example of a company that relies on technology as their main source of sales would be Amazon.com. Amazon has impacted retail in remarkable ways by also focusing on ideas and products that set the standards for the technology industry. For companies, such as K-mart/Sears, to continue...

    ...Organizational structures developed from the ancient times of hunters and collectors in tribal organizations through highly royal and clerical power structures to industrial structures and today's post-industrial structures. [edit] Organizational structure types [edit] Pre-bureaucratic structures Pre-bureaucratic (entrepreneurial) structures lack standardization of tasks. This structure is most common in smaller organizations and is best used to solve simple tasks. The structure is totally centralized. The strategic leader makes all key decisions and most communication is done by one on one conversations. It is particularly useful for new (entrepreneurial) business as it enables the founder to control growth and development. They are usually based on traditional domination or charismatic domination in the sense of Max Weber's tripartite classification of authority. [edit] Bureaucratic structures Bureaucratic structures have a certain degree of standardization. They are better suited for more complex or larger scale organizations. They usually adopt a tall structure. Then tension between bureaucratic structures and non-bureaucratic is echoed in Burns and Stalker[1] distinction between mechanistic and organic structures.

    ...Organizational Structure MGT 230 April 16, 2012 Traci Thurman-Bowen FirstBanks' Organizational Structure Founded in 1963, FirstBank has been fortunate enough to have outstanding employees, financial stability, and the greatest customers they could ask for. They have maintained a strong commitment to convenience, intelligent, and friendly customer service as well as loyalty to those who work for them. Organizations require structure in order to grow and be profitable. FirstBank would not have been able to achieve what they have without having implemented a proper organizational structure. Vertical Structure FirstBank implements the vertical organizational structure that consists of authority in organizations, hierarchical levels, span of control, delegation, and decentralization. Authority is the genuine right to make decisions and tell other people what to do (Bateman, pg 278, 2011). FirstBank gives authority to its upper-level managers who in turn give orders to the lower-level managers to carry out. Hierarchical levels consist primarily of the board of directors, under them it is the chief executive officer (C.E.O), chief financial officer (CFO), followed by the President, Vice-President, Assistant...

  • Organizational Structure Essay

    ...ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE Organizational structure refers to the way that an organization arranges people and jobs so that its work can be performed and its goals can be met. When a work group is very small and face-to-face communication is frequent, formal structure may be unnecessary, but in a larger organization decisions have to be made about the delegation of various tasks. Thus, procedures are established that assign responsibilities for various functions. It is these decisions that determine the organizational structure. In an organization of any size or complexity, employees' responsibilities typically are defined by what they do, who they report to, and for managers, who reports to them. Over time these definitions are assigned to positions in the organization rather than to specific individuals. The relationships among these positions are illustrated graphically in an organizational chart (see Figures 1a and 1b). The best organizational structure for any organization depends on many factors including the work it does; its size in terms of employees, revenue, and the geographic dispersion of its facilities; and the range of its businesses (the degree to which it is diversified across markets). There are multiple structural variations that organizations can take on, but there are a few basic principles that apply and a...
