.1.8 SWOT Analysis

Strengths: Strength ratings despite of last years crises. Small number of competitors in Islamic Banking Sector Their leading position in the industry, with respect to their market shares of assets, loans and deposits. Its branches located in every big and small cities of Turkey. Enough customer base because 96,8 % of population of Turkey is MuslimsWeaknesses: Strong competitor: Turkey Finance Participation Bank. Low amount of foreign customers due to acknowledgement and distrust to Islamic Banking. Opportunities: The availability of modern telecommunication systems and technology will facilitate the improvement and strengthening of the Banks international business and ATM services, and the development of new services, such as telephone banking or on-line banking. The increased access to computers by customers will allow the bank to reach more target groups through electronic communication. Due to recovering of whole economy from the last years crises there is a good chance to take a strong position in banking sector, because overall economic activity will probably increase in country.Threats: The profit of the bank and its market position can be influenced due to increasing number of international banks. Some customers prefer to do business with competitors because Asya Bank is Government owned and political interference or changes often affect their confidence. Bank is unable to attract certain customers because it is Government owned and there is the perception that their account information could be opened to the Government and its agencies.

.1.9 Organizational Structurestructure of Bank Asya 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 banks like Bank Asya 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. (see figure Appendix 2)of directors: Appendix

.3 Organization Behavior

Principles For BankAsya is a collection of measurements that inquire into the values, norms and rules that form the essentials of the individual and social relations established by people from the moral aspect of right-wrong or good-bad. While the professional ethics regulates the relations of the individuals that form a professional group among themselves and between them and the society, the organizational ethics defines the inner-organizational culture in the solution of problems originating from the inside and outside of the organization by means of certain rules. The fact that Banks that realize the functions of investments and savings by playing an integrative and intermediary role between the parties in society that supply funds and demand funds respectively also aim the principles of profitability and productivity stipulates the requirement that they have to work in accordance with the Ethical Principles in the professional and organizational fields. Setting off from the expansion of the Banking system, the improvement of the quality of banking services, the optimal use of sources, the prevention of the unjustified competition between Banks, Banks are to regulate their relations not only among themselves but also with the other institutions and customers and shareholders and employees in concordance with the Ethical Principles.

And also accounting officers pays medical expenses of their employees in limited money.

3.Conclusion

.1 My objectives and learnings

summer practice was different from others, because I had a chance not only practice abroad and also in different enterprises. Before starting I was very excited and worried about lack of experience, my knowledge and skills.after 2 days in Bank Asya I understood that knowledge that I get in university during the clases such as Marketing, Fundamentals of Financial Management, etc. is enough to be the employee of BankAsya or any Banks branches. All topics that we passed during 3 week training program was very nice.

Summer practice passed in Asya Bank it gave me a good understanding of banking sector of Turkey. Banking system in the world is quite similar and they all use the world standards. It took several days to understand main principles of banking system. Asya Bank is a big bank with big ambitions. The bankexisting for 14 years and has an interesting history. They have many branches in all cities of country. They agree that banking sector of Turkey can be better. That is why they support research and development, technological innovation programs.summer internship showed me my strengths and weaknesses in knowledge. Using this knowledge properly is very important in our future career. My objective was to find ability of using my current knowledge efficiently. Although I was just an assistant, a good understating of all given tasks was a small surprise for my supervisors in bank. I have learned a lot of things about banking system, but the important one is experience.

My summer internship showed me what kind of knowledge I am lack off and what I am not. Using this knowledge properly is very important in our future career, and in the future of our country. My objective was to find ability of using my current knowledge efficiently. So, I hope that everything that I learned in my summer internship will be useful for my future.
