F. Drucker in his book, The Practice of Management (Choudhary, 2018). It can also be
efficiently (Gandhi, 2019-2020). Here the concept of management insists on three major
components,
Effective – It refers to achieving the right goals. It is concerned with the completion of goals
Efficient – It refers to doing the task the right way, i.e. optimum utilization of resources and
cost-effective techniques used for the completion of goals or tasks. Management is related to
Management aims to achieve all its set objectives. An organizational structure is a system
that outlines how certain activities are directed to achieve the goals of an organization. These
activities can include rules, roles, and responsibilities. (Kenton, 2020). The functions of the

The efficiency of the financial sector depends on a robust and sound banking system.
Through intermediation, the banking system helps productive and gainful utilization of
resources. The banking sector is an industry and a section of the economy devoted to the
holding of financial assets for others and investing those financial assets as a leveraged way
to create more wealth. The sector also includes the regulation of banking activities by
government agencies, insurance, mortgages, investor services, and credit cards. (Hall, 2020).
It is a sector that comes in the tertiary sector of an economy. In modern times its strength
determines a country's financial strength. It is also one of the major employers around the
world.
The post-independence Banking sector has played a critical role in the development of
the Indian financial sector. It gave a further boost to the economy after the Nationalisation of
Banks and liberalization of the Indian Financial sector. Banks supported the government to
achieve its objective of deposit mobilization, employment generation, and directed lending
through an extensive branch network. The current scenario of the Indian Banking System is
accepting the deposit, granting loans, and making investments, to earn profits. (Garg, 2019-
2020) It is a primary unit in the banking system. The target audience of these banks is usually
people of urban, semi-urban and to some extent rural areas of the country. Since they are
centrally managed, they are not very agile which leads them to have a very different clientele
than Regional Rural Banks and Cooperative Banks in rural areas. Their objectives are to
diversify their market operations and achieve much of market share along with profit
Public Banks – These banks are owned by the government and focus on providing
services to society. Profit maximization is one of their objectives however it does not
hamper their primary function of service to society. Examples of these banks are:
UCO Bank,
Private Banks – These banks are owned by private individual businessmen. Their

basis and belonging to their members. This means that the customers of a co-operative bank
are also its owners. These banks provide a wide range of regular banking and financial
services. (Khendelwal, 2019)
Payments Banks – A payments bank is like any other bank, but it cannot advance loans or
issue credit cards. It also operates on a smaller scale without involving any credit risk but
carries out most of the other banking services. It can accept demand deposits (up to Rs 1
services like ATM/debit cards, net banking, and third-party fund transfers.

Foreign Banks – These are the banks owned and operated by foreign promoters and have
their head offices abroad and not in India. After the liberalization of the economy in 1991,
their presence has rapidly increased in the Indian banking sector. Examples: Standard Charter
Banks, etc.
Regional Rural Banks – They are the banks that are created by the central government, state
government, and sponsor bank in areas where there is no banking facility (usually rural areas)
to specifically focus its attention on rural lending and development. Their focus is to provide
credit facility to small and marginal farmers, artisans, and small entrepreneurs. Example:
The target audience of Regional Rural Banks is the small and marginal farmers, artisans,
local vendors, and other small entrepreneurs in the rural areas which are normally
services to poor sections so that they do not get trapped in the vicious clutches of
Central bank – “Central Bank is the apex institution in a banking sector which controls,
operates, regulates, and directs the entire banking and monetary structure of the country”
(Garg, 2019-2020). It is the supreme position in the banking system and every financially
developed country has this as the head of the banking system. In India, the central bank is
called The Reserve Bank of India which was established on April 1st, 1935 after the passing
of The Reserve Bank of India Act in 1934. Some other examples of central banks around the
world are:
Bank of Japan
The roots of the State Bank of India rest in the first decade of the 19th century when
the Bank of Calcutta later renamed the Bank of Bengal, which was established on 2 June
1806. The Bank of Bengal was one of three Presidency banks, the other two being the Bank
of Bombay (incorporated on 15 April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (incorporated on 1 July
1843). With the result of the royal charters, all three Presidency banks were incorporated as
joint-stock companies and received the exclusive right to issue paper currency in 1861 with
the Paper Currency Act. They retained this right till the formation of the Reserve Bank of
India. The Presidency banks amalgamated on 27 January 1921 and renamed the Imperial
Bank of India. The Imperial Bank of India remained a joint-stock company. The State Bank
of India was constituted on 1st July 1955, according to the State Bank of India Act, 1955 (the
"SBI Act") to create a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank integrating the former
Imperial Bank of India. The State Bank of India is the largest bank, with approximately
24,000 branches in India and 190 international offices (About Us, n.d.). In 1959, the State
Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed, enabling the Bank to take over eight
former state associated banks as its subsidiaries (Gupta & Kaur, 2017).
ICICI Bank is the second-largest leading bank of the private sector in India. It’s
headquartered is in Mumbai, India. The Bank has 5,324 branches and 15,688 ATMs in India.

In 1998 ICICI Bank launched internet banking operations (About Us, n.d.). The Bank offers a
wide range of banking products and financial services to corporate and retail customers. It
also provides services in the areas of venture capital investment banking, asset management,
and life and non-life insurance. ICICI Bank Limited is one of the main banking and financial
services organization in India. The bank is the second-largest private sector bank in India by
market capitalization. They are a publicly held banking company engaged in providing a
wide range of banking and financial services including commercial banking and treasury
operations. The bank and its subsidiaries offer a wide range of banking and financial services
including commercial banking, retail banking, project, and corporate finance, working capital
finance, insurance, venture capital and private equity, investment banking, broking, and
treasury products and services. They offer through a variety of delivery channels and their
specialized subsidiaries in the area of investment banking, life and non-life insurance, venture
capital, and assets management. The bank has a presence in 18 countries (SINGH &
TANDON, 2012).
Since the banking sector plays a crucial role in the growth and development of the
economy and Management is the pivot on which the fortune of any company hangs in
balance, I chose to analyze the management in the banking sector in this paper. This was also
done as this is one of the areas which has not been examined very closely since it is
qualitative and subjective. Further, to elucidate and explain the structure in the right context I
have chosen the State Bank of India and ICICI Bank as both are leaders in the Public Sector
For the analysis the following tools have been used to determine the conclusion:

going to do it” (Gandhi, 2019-2020). It also refers to the bridge which covers the gap from

with human resources. It refers to recruiting and selection of the employees for various

to guide them and pass on instructions to get the work done. Therefore, it refers to the

Controlling – This is the step that is concerned with the moderation of an employee’s
performance by the manager. It is the step when the managers try to match the actual
performance with the initial calculation made during the planning procedure to accomplish
the set tasks and goals. If there is a deviation or no match in the comparison then the
managers suggest a corrective measure to go forward which leads the performance to the

After the above examination and analysis, we can conclude that management is
present and plays an important role in the whole banking sector. In the sector, the same
structure is followed and the difference is mostly on objectives, target audience, and the
process is undertaken to come up with decisions. State Bank of India and ICICI Bank despite
being part of the same system of regulations and the same sector have some differences in
mode of operations. The State Bank of India needs to relax its very rigid directing as well as
the organisational structure so that there can be a free flow of ideas and information to
relevant departments as quickly as possible to enable quick decision making and responses to
changes in the market. This will enable them to achieve set targets faster. ICICI Bank should
focus more on expanding its accessibility in India as it has very few branches in India. It
should also focus more on its social responsibilities and not just profit maximisation as it
needs to have a good profile in the masses and also have a moral obligation for it. It should
also start venturing more into rural credit markets and other responsibilities like imparting
financial literacy, etc. Both of these banks are competing in the global arena as well and not
just in Indian markets. Therefore, they must assess regularly and take into account their
strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats to not only survive but also duel for a position
in the market.
