| dc.description.abstract | The dynamic nature of the banking industry undoubtedly puts management in the position to undertake projects that require responsibilities of the project managers to remain tactful in their duties in order to meet ever changing industry demands and as well remain competitive. The application of project management which encompasses the necessary tools which when carefully applied can help meet the dynamic demands of the banking industry is therefore inevitable. Consequently, the need for banks to have a project management office to manage and perform project management objectives cannot be overstated and must be a priority of general management to make the necessary commitment to this office in order to yield successful achievement of project management objectives within the banking sector. Hence, this research was aimed at assessing the extent to which project management knowledge is applied to projects in banking institutions in Ghana, using Republic Bank Ghana Limited as a case study. In order to achieve this aim the following objectives were set: to document policies that mandate the use of project management methodology, to assess the level of expertise of project inclined employees, to assess the suitability of the organizational structure to project management practice and to investigated the perception of the banks regarding the success or failure in project delivery. A structured questionnaire survey was carried out to ascertain the extent to which project management knowledge is applied to projects in banking institutions in Ghana. The study employed a quantitative research design by means of preliminary literature review and subsequently a survey using the structured questionnaire approach. The data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics, the Relative Importance Index (RII) method, the One-sample T-test and correlation method of analysis. Findings of this study revealed that project management knowledge especially in the banking industry yields effective service delivery by helping to keep customer demands in synchronization with service deliver in order to help any service organization cope with change. However, the potential of project management has not been fully realized in the Ghanaian banking industry. Also a recommendation for this study suggested that, there is the need for banking sector to be innovative and come up with project management policies that makes provision for continuous improvement on systematic measurement and focus on customer satisfaction. | en_US |
