   Lower overheads
   Competitive rates

Strategic issues

   Advantage of strong,broad, strategically important
    and multi-industry alliances
   President of Sakura Bank Akishige Okada
    remarked:
     JNB’s strength lied in its alliance with many blue-
    chip corporations.
   Two kinds of alliances:
    Shareholding
    Non-shareholding
Scalability Vs Investment
Scalability was a major concern with JNB,

   Customer behavior on the internet is unpredictable
   Demand might surge dramatically

In order to cope with sudden demand changes,

   To be scalable to limits far above average
   Make accurate demand forecasts
   Build the necessary infrastructure
Questions
  1.   What are the main
       characteristics of JNB’s
       organisation and IT
       system ?

  2.   Why scalability is so
       important for JNB ?
Thank you!
