(Centre for Research on Islamic Management and Business, 2013-12) Shahnewaz, Syeda Tanjila; Md. Shariful, Haque
The aim of this paper is to identify the contributions of Privatized Commercial Banks (PCBs) in Agricultural Investment (AI) of Bangladesh, particularly the case of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL). As a part of methodology interview of concerned officials have been taken to explore the actual scenario of AI done by IBBL. And the Action plan of IBBL for Agricultural Investment (2011-2015) has been thoroughly reviewed for secondary data analysis. Findings show that AI has got three major sectors where the investment may be or has been made. They are Crops, Fisheries and Livestock. IBBL has planned to invest at least 3.20% of investable fund in the agriculture sector (3.00% in agriculture and 0.20% in fishing, forestry and logging). As a part of plan IBBL has set a target of 9500 Million BDT to invest in agriculture where 50% will be for Crops only. Trend analysis shows that IBBL has got steadily rising market share in this sector investment in comparison to the National Target. In 2006-2007 the market share of IBBL was 3.24% and in 2010-2011 it climbed at 7.53%. It’s a remarkable achievement of IBBL in agriculture sector. It’s an original research work which may furnish food for thought to the Bangladeshi PCBs particularly for Islamic Banks so they can feel inspiration to come up with investments in this sector.

This paper is about total quality management (TQM) practices in some selected manufacturing companies in Bangladesh. The empirical study reports the main findings based on the survey of 150 executives of 15 selected manufacturing companies thereby taking 10 executives from each company. These 10 executives include CEO, head of HR & administration, head of accounts & finance, head of marketing, production manager, quality control manager, finance manager, manager-R & D, production supervisor and HR executive. The main research issues of the study are: examining the relationship between TQM and organizational financial performance, relationship between employees’ involvement and TQM results, factors influencing successful implementation of TQM and measuring employees’ job satisfaction & commitment. The major findings of the study are: (i) there exists significant positive relationship between TQM practices and organizational financial performance, measured in terms of return on sales (ROS) and return on investment (ROI) (ii) the study reveals that majority of the respondents fall under medium involvement group signifying that employees’ involvement in TQM practices have been satisfactory, (iii) the study also indicates that CSFs as mentioned in table 5, have no relationship with TQM practices in the selected companies and (iv) the study points out that employees’ job satisfaction & commitment have been moderately related to TQM practices. The findings obtained from the study would be useful to the academicians interested to undertake further research in the vital aspects of HRM. The concerned management would also get the findings of the study helpful in improving TQM practices in the selected companies in Bangladesh.
