Surprisingly, the “offending” item sold at $14.83. Pierre Omidyar contacted the buyer to warn him that the laser pointer is broken. The buyer replied that he was a collector of broken laser pointers! The humble AuctionWeb grew in traffic and metamorphosized into eBay which is now is a multibillion-dollar business with operations in more than 30 countries. EBay is also a publicly visible market and researchers use it to study consumer behaviour and auction formats. A data driven company, its big data management processes excess of 50 petabytes of data per day, underlying yet again, the importance of research in the development of an organization and its habitat. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay) , (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/243099) Research is a systematic and structured search for information. Its scope and contribution, both, can never be over emphasized. Here, Kindler, in its own way, contributes just a few “significant” drops at a time to this vast ocean of growing knowledge. This combined issue of Volume XVIII has some regular submissions and also has a large part of the research presented at the National Conference on Contemporary Management (NCCMP) 2018 at the Army Institute of Management. I do hope that the Kindler January-December 2018 issue enlightens and also generates adequate curiosity in the minds of its readers.

    Research Paper IJMSRR Impact Factor: 5.483 E- ISSN - 2349-6746 Peer Reviewed & Indexed Journal ISSN -2349-6738 MEGA MERGER OF SBI: EMPLOYEES’ ATTITUDE AND ADAPTABILITY Merliyn Anna Thomas Guest Lecturer, Post Graduate Department of Commerce and Research Centre, St.Thomas College, Kozhencherry. Abstract Mergers have become an increasingly common reality of organisational life. Mergers promote the entities to develop, condense and alter the nature of their competitive position. In addition, during this time, it is a common scene of employees with stress, fear and anxiety. They may have fears concerning job loss, job changes, compensation, workload, working hours and so on. The attitude of an employee resulting from the merger will certainly affect his work related behavior; consequently, the efficiency and output of the company suffer. On 15 Feb 2017, the Union Cabinet approved a proposal to merge 5 associate banks with SBI. Merger of SBI with its 5 associate banks and Bharatiya Mahila Bank is the largest merger in history of Indian Banking Industry.” In any merger, the biggest challenge is always integration of human resources because the people who are coming in have a lot of apprehension” said Arundhati Bhattacharya, former Chairman, SBI. This paper highlights the attitude and adaptability of employees towards merger of associate banks with SBI and also compares the pre-merger and post-merger position of employees. Responses from SBI employees were obtained and it is found that even though the merger has brought certain increases in their workload and responsibility, they are adaptable with the merger process. It is hoped that this study will help those who are interested in knowing the human side of mega merger of SBI.

  • Sbi – Merger of Associates
    SBI – MERGER OF ASSOCIATES The cabinet approved the merger of the subsidiaries--State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Hyderabad, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala and State Bank of Travancore-- and Bharatiya Mahila Bank Limited with SBI. The approval does not come as a surprise given the government’s stated intention of encouraging consolidation among state-owned banks (this came in the this year’s union budget) even as it looks to address the issues of rising bad debts in the banking system and, at the same time, ensure efficient utilization of capital. A finance ministry spokesperson confirmed the cabinet’s decision though there was no mention of this in the official cabinet briefing. The merger will see the combined entity’s balance sheet at a whopping Rs 37 trillion, making it one of the top 50 banks in the world. “The merger of SBI and its associate banks is a win-win for both. While the network of SBI would stand to increase, its reach would multiply. One can expect efficiencies to be created from rationalization of branches, common treasury pooling and proper deployment of a large skilled resource base,” State Bank of India chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya said in a statement. “Currently, no Indian bank features in the top 50 banks of the world. With this merger, some visibility at global level is likely to increase,” she said. Shares of SBI and its subsidiaries zoomed after the cabinet’s decision. SBI’s shares were up 3.9% at Rs 215.65 apiece at close of trade on Tuesday.

  • Need for Branches Will Not Disappear in Next 10-12 Years: Arund
    Need for branches will not disappear in next 10-12 years: Arundhati Bhattacharya K Ram Kumar / NS Vageesh The older generation people still believe in brick-and-mortar banking, says SBI chief State Bank of India started the process of assimilation of associate banks into its fold in 2008 with State Bank of Saurashtra. Two years later, State Bank of Indore got merged with its parent. After a hiatus of almost six years, India’s largest bank has rekindled the unfinished merger agenda — of consolidating the remaining five associate banks with itself, albeit with a little nudge from the government. Now, SBI is planning to do this in one go and expects to complete the process by March 2017. Along the way, it will also acquire Bharatiya Mahila Bank. In an interview to BusinessLine , Chairman Arundhati Bhattacharya outlines how the consolidation will wring out efficiencies for her bank, the possibility of adding two more circles, and why despite advances in technology, branches will still be needed. Excerpts: What advantages will accrue to SBI due to consolidation? I believe that there are a lot of inefficiencies right now on account of duplications. If you have six corporate centres, six treasuries, six of everything and then if you bring it down to one of everything, obviously there are some savings. So, that saving will come. It (savings) will come in the corporate centre (in the administrative set-up), it will come in treasury, it will come in the large corporate and mid-corporate (verticals). When it comes to large corporate and mid- corporate clients, many of their (associate bank) accounts (80-85 per cent of their accounts) we also have.

  • Mergers & Acquisitions and SBI's Amalgamation

No. 8870150272 E-mail ID: [email protected] BCom Honours (2H2), Bhavan’s Vivekananda College, Sainikpuri, Ph. No. 8885566222 E-mail ID: [email protected] Abstract: Mergers and Acquisitions popularly referred to as M&A’s, have been playing a crucial role in the Indian Economy and its growth. In the current scenario, most business firms rely on such M&A’s, for not just linear growth, but a growth that is multifold. M&A’s have several variable catalysts that help in facilitating inorganic growth to the firms, and provide them with ease of doing business. In a general sense, Mergers and Acquisitions refer to the consolidation of 2 or more companies or their assets. When 2 companies agree upon unifying their affairs, it is said to be a Merger. However Acquisition arises, when one company acquires majority stake of another company, with a condition that its name and legal structure remain unchanged. In the global scenario, where the business environment is extremely volatile, it becomes unpreventable for the business firms to rely on organic growth. One key factor that influences the M&A activities is the Capital Market. SBI and the Amalgamation of its Subsidiary Banks Renamed by the RBI in 1955, the Imperial Bank of India is today known as the State Bank of India (SBI).

  • SBI Waits for RBI's Nod on Merger of Associate Banks
    SBI Waits For RBI’s Nod On Merger Of Associate Banks RBI is expected to give State Bank of India, the approval for the detailed merger plan of its associate banks. The approval from the central bank is expected anytime soon. The strategy of acquisition of all five associates along with the Report of the Expert Committee has been submitted to RBI for approval. Upon approval, RBI is going to submit the scheme of acquisition as approved by it to the Government of India for approval and issue of order of acquisition. On the other hand, SBI has initiated the process of change of account number because of the suggested merger of associate banks. Previously the government cleared the proposal to merge SBI with its five associate banks, namely State Bank of Travancore, State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur, State Bank of Mysore, State Bank of Patiala, State Bank of Hyderabad and the new Bharatiya Mahila Bank (BMB). During August, SBI mentioned that all its associate banks along with BMB will be merged into it and that will add an extra Rs 8 lakh crore to its assets, making it a banking behemoth having total assets of Rs 30 lakh crore, a rise of about 36 per cent. With the merger of all the five associates and BMB, SBI will turn into a global-sized bank and could compete with the largest in the world, boasting of 22,500 branches and 58,000 ATMs. It will have over 50 crore customers. SBI has already merged two of its associates, State Bank of Saurashtra in 2008 and State Bank of Indore in 2010 with itself.

    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 22, Issue 1. Ser. VI (January. 2020), PP 46-60 www.iosrjournals.org Establishing change management as core capacity through change leaders efforts-The Change Management Profile of State Bank of India Xxxx Abstract: Change management is a necessary tool and technique for banks to reconcile with developments in their complex ecosystem and meet the customers increasing expectation. With the purpose of finding out adoption of change management practices in the largest bank of India, the researcher has surveyed all the available material about change management initiatives in State Bank of India. The learnings can be very useful for not only all the other public sector banks in India but also throw light on methods adopted and implementation process. Such research would be an important addition for creating resources for indigenous research material and evolve the practices amongst other banks. The researcher has concluded that though the efforts of the bank to change its culture and technology are intermittent and leader driven, but it covered large number of employees at each cadre and made a difference to banks performance. The bank started its change efforts in response to loss of market share to due to meteoric rise new dynamic privatesector banks. The bank succeeded in its efforts to improve performance and became customer oriented. The bank has adopted digitisation of services in a big way and succeeded in digitising customer journeys. Therefore, change management is an enabler for greater performance and survival of the bank.
