Analysis of National Bank Limited.
SWOT is an acronym for the internal strength and weakness of a firm and the environmental Opportunity and Threat facing that firm. So if we consider NBL as a business firm and analyze its strength, weakness, opportunity and threat the scenario will be as follows:
Conclusion
Firm can motivate employee in various way. But rewarding employees financially improves level of employees work.. Renowned organization of the world gets success by using this motivating tool. But use of other tools re also very important. Because need of money is not important I all level of employee. Higher-level employee want something more than money.
