Project:


1. Begin with a brief introduction to the environment from which your organization’s problem has developed. Essentially, you are providing a background or context for the reader to properly understand the problem that your organization is facing


2. Identify a significant problem in your organization’s current environment and/or strategy, based on the performance evaluation from Part 1 of the project. Discuss how this problem is affecting both the organization and the organization’s stakeholders (employees, shareholders, community, environment, etc.). Be sure to provide appropriate financial and/or nonfinancial measures to support the validity of this problem.


3. Determine at least 3 potential solutions (decision alternatives) to the organizational problem that you have identified. Discuss each solution, and the potential effects it could have on the organization and its stakeholders.


4. Graphically express the decision alternatives in a payoff table.


5. Graphically express the decision alternatives in a decision tree. The first three items above should be covered in
4-5 double-spaced pages. Include the payoff table and decision tree after these pages (the graphics do NOT count towards the 4-5 pages).


Note: Refrain from making any recommendations for the organization at this stage. You will be doing that in Part 3 of the project. At this stage, simply identify the problem and the available decision alternatives. Again, be sure to proofread as this project will be evaluated both for content and professionalism.

João Paulo Coelho (BOAH 2401) October 04, 2010 Citibank: Performance Evaluation In 1996, Citibank was an emergent banking institution attempting to increase its market share in the competitive Los Angeles area. In order to do so, the bank’s strategy was to focus slightly less on their financial growth, and much more on providing “a high level of service to its customers”. Management viewed this paradigm shift as “critical to the long term success of the franchise”. To implement these changes, a new Citibank employee performance assessment scorecard was created, briefly tested and quickly implemented. Though I believe it was a much improved and broader way to gauge individual performance, there was certainly room for improvement. The scorecard was composed of financial, strategy implementation and control goals which had the advantage of clearly, objectively and transparently measure a manager’s work. These measures were readily accessible though the general accounting system, and left little (if any) room to argue over a manager’s performance. However, all three measures focused primarily on the upcoming quarter(s) and how those numbers compared quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year, making them a short-term or “lagging” indicator of success. The remaining measures on the assessment scorecard (customer satisfaction, people, and standards) were all noticeably subjective, yet viewed as sound long-term indicators and therefore crucial in evaluating the foundation of the future success of the organization. Obviously, the customer is (and will always be) the most important part of the equation, as it is customer business that allows banks to conduct theirs. People and standards measures are both especially significant measures, as they address the character, personality and perceived image of individuals, management and the organization as a whole. A more specific analysis of the assessment scorecard is as follows: Financial...

Citi Bank: Performance Evaluation
1. Background
Citi Bank has brought a new manager performance evaluation system that is based on three
factors as customer satisfaction, people and standards. On the basis of these three f
actors a
scorecard for every manager is prepared. This scorecard has details on the scores of all the
three factors. The company has made it clear to everyone in the organization that the
satisfaction of the customers is the most important measure in the scorecard and it is striving
to make its customers happy and satisfied with the services of the bank and the
responsibility of the same is on the branch manager who is expected to ensure that the
visiting customers served properly. And this has been termed to the key to long term
success.
Basically scorecard is prepared on five braid measures names financial measures, strategy
implementation, internal control process, customer satisfaction and people and standards.
The financial measures include the yearly financial goals for the every manager. It is termed
as short term goal and performance measure. The strategy implementation focuses on the
ability of the managers to implement strategies and achieve financial goals. The internal
audit team has control over internal control process and provides information about the
financial measures and strategy implementation. The customer satisfaction score is prepared
by getting feedback from the customers who visited the branch in last month. And the scores
relating to people judged upon the manager’s ability to lead in the organization as well as in
society and his career improvements. The score relating to standards is arrived at by figuring
out the manager’s ability to comply with the rules and standards set of the management.
Though the new system of evaluation has been doing well but some discrepancy has crept in
the system. One of the most performing branch managers Mr. McGaran who is role model
and example for most of managers has been score very low on the customer satisfaction
front though his score is very high and he is leading one of the most performing and
competitive branch of the bank. On the basis his own experiences he has been putting
forward his reservation...
