...ISIS PAPYRUS CASE STUDIES The key to success in today’s very competitive finance sector is the capability to offer new products and services to customers fast and efficiently. Related business documents, like bank statements or loan agreements, play a strategic role in the business process, as banks have moved to self-service methods such as electronic bank tellers and Internet services. Customer documents become the primary communication vehicle. Competitive Customer Documents in the Finance Sector Business documents have to be of high quality, contain detailed and well structured information and a unique content for every customer. Targeted marketing information, dynamic charts produced from business data, spot or full color statements, which are often produced for priority customers only, are common requirements today. Consolidated Statements A good example of such a service strategy is Citibank’s consolidated bank statement. It contains not just the current status of one account at a time, but summarizes and details all the customer's accounts down to the scanned images of all cancelled checks. At the same time it uses the same document to inform of the bank’s new offerings and services by including marketing messages targeted conditionally on the customer’s status.

Citibank should start targeting a broader market segments in the major metropolitan cities, starting with the emerging affluent and then the mass market. Its current target market strategy aligns with its goal of profitability. However, if Citibank continues with the same strategy it will face the risk of being a small player in a rapidly growing market, potentially losing revenue. Citibank’s position in the super-affluent and affluent segment remains strong, but its decreasing market share combined with the growth of the emerging affluent and mass market suggests that Citi bank requires a change in its strategy. Citibank has a fairly lower growth rate than the industry, from Jun 2010 to Dec 2012 it has been 22% for Citibank and 45% for the industry. Citibank’s current strategy targets only 0.68% of the total households in India, and 7.58% of total households in the top 8 cities. By targeting just the super-affluent and affluent market, Citibank is currently letting its competitors to capture a large population of the market. Citi bank potential market...

...Citibank Launching the Credit Card in Asia Pacific Citibank had many competitive advantages. In 1989 Citibank was the largest banking company in the US, leader in foreign exchange market with wide range of services all over the world. Head of its international consumer businesses had extensive experience managing huge US card businesses and was disposed towards international expansion. Asian government had strict regulations limiting expansion of foreign banks, so it was critical to offer the most innovative and high-quality products and services. So the only choice to succeed in this environment was being a differentiator. Citibank pioneered telephone banking in much Asia. It developed alternate distribution channels for products such as automobile loans. Introducing credit card products was a necessary step to compete with growing international presence, mainly of American Express. Citibank did that by acquiring proprietary card payment system and offering exclusive services to its customers. When launching a credit card in Asia Pacific Citibank took several advantages of scale economies. For example with respect to software development, the programming could be done centrally and simply downloaded to the countries with no need to customization, therefore greatly reducing the costs. It also took advantages of easily transferrable established best practiced allowing a quick card product launch in Asia Pacific. Offering credit card products in Asian market is a clearly Demand...

...CASE: Citibank: Launching the Credit Card in Asia-Pacific (A) (HBS 9-595-026) Rana Talwar, head of Citibank's Asia Pacific Consumer Bank, is considering introducing a credit card to enhance the growth of future revenues. Talwar feels that the credit card would enable the bank to target customers outside its thriving branch banking operation and then cross-sell other Citibank products and services to these customers, but he is facing a healthy amount of skepticism from Citibank's New York headquarters and general reluctance from the country managers in Asia Pacific. If Talwar does decide to go ahead with launching the credit card, he has to decide how to implement the program in the very diverse Asia-Pacific region. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: 1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of Citibank in Asia in 1989? Does it have the strengths to launch this credit card initiative successfully? Are there any sources of vulnerability from the weaknesses that will lead to failure? 2. What are the needs of consumers for credit cards in the Asia Pacific region? Will the Citibank credit card deliver on those needs? 3. What are the objectives of Citibank? What role can the credit card play in getting Citibank where it wants to go in this region? 4. What are the characteristics of the markets for credit cards in the Asia Pacific region (competition, channels of distribution, and...

It could be a good chance for Citibank’s growth, so Citibank has started to branch banking business since 1978. Actually, performance of Asia-Pacific branches is not bad. In 1988, Citibank earned $69.7 million, but Citibank does not satisfy with its performance. Citibank’s goal is $100 million until 1990. For this goal, Citibank launched the most innovative service such as telephone banking service. And now, Citibank is planning to launch a new product credit card. Acquiring card customers means that Citibank has more opportunities to crosssell product line: Auto Loans, Ready Credit, Deposits, and Mortgage Power, Citibank’s core products.

...In the case of Citibank India, the bank is many problems; however, the following problems are severely affecting the bank in the type of service they provide. The major challenge being whether they should redefine their business objectives by changing their current target market. While, the secondary problem being lack of partnerships with stores to give the consumer the option to collect loyalty points. The primary problem of market segmentation arises because the bank is not targeting all types of consumer markets in India. The bank separates its consumers into four types of consumer segments; super-affluent, affluent, emerging affluent and mass market. The first two segments consist of families with high-salaried income and the last two segments consist of households with self-employed individuals. Currently, the bank has a strategy of targeting the high-salaried households as they have the ability to spend significantly more than the mass-market. This segment, the super affluent and affluent only consists of about 15 million households, and it is very saturated as it has slow growth rate. While, on the other hand, the self-employed individuals tend to spend less compared to the high-salaried individuals, however they make up more than 50 million households. This consumer segment is growing and with the rising household disposable income, they are going to have more spending power by 2015. Other foreign banks in India also segment their consumer; however, they provide services...

...Business Policy Assignment: “Creating Shared Value” CITIBANK & HSBC 9/26/2013 D Siddhartha Reddy-014 PGDM-Finance Executive Summary How to reinvent capitalism and unleash a wave of innovation and growth by Michael Porter and Mark Kramer Shared Value is a new form of capitalism. The idea of shared value was initially explored by the authors in December 2006 HBR. Shared value is not social responsibility, philanthropy, or even sustainability, but a new way to achieve economic success. In the article Porter & Kramer criticize neoclassical thinking on the trade-off between societal needs and economic success, and the way the concept of ‘externalities’ have shaped corporate and policy strategy. Article says that corporations should aim at creating shared value rather than only profits; this would lead to innovation and redefining of the capitalism, which as it stands is at logger heads with the society and looks at CSR as a philanthropic act done to please others. Article also questions the current perspective of viewing maximization of economic value of firm and achieving social obligations as a tradeoff. Article says that companies do face several internal cost caused due to social harms created by the company’s activities which comes back to bite the economic value created by the companies. Shared value then has not to be looked at as ‘sharing’ value which is already created by companies with society; rather it is increasing the pie of value created by respecting...
