  1. Literature review


New product portfolio management is about how there investment in business's product development resources is allowing SCB project prioritization, allocating resources across development projects. There has been several goals in portfolio management such as the maximizing the value of the portfolio, seeking the right balance of projects, ensuring that the bank's portfolio is strategically aligned, and making sure SCB don't have too many projects for its limited resources and lots of tools to use for measuring portfolio as some quantitative/qualitative, others graphical, strategic as such being designed to help the bank chose the right portfolio of projects. According to Morton and Pliska (2006), there can be presence of "optimal portfolio management policies for an investor who must pay transaction cost equal to a fixed traction of the portfolio value each time he trades, showing that the optimal policy reduces to solving single stopping time problem as when there is risky stock, there can be system of equations whose solution determines the optimal rule and observe the general qualitative results" (p. 337). Thus, portfolio management is fundamental to new product success but as easy as it seems not only must SCB seek to maximize the value of your portfolio, but the development projects in the portfolio must be appropriately balanced, there must be the right numbers of finances and other related aspects, portfolio management must be strategically aligned. No one portfolio model can deliver on the goals, so SCB may integrate multiple methods to select effective projects. SCB is known and trusted for having high standards of corporate responsibility as the bank is committed to building sustainable business through social inclusion, environmental protection and good governance, by combining the global capabilities with deep local knowledge, SCB develop innovative products and services to meet the diverse and ever-changing needs of individual, corporate and institutional customers in some of the world's most exciting and dynamic markets (SCB report, 2007). Financial statements is to provide information about the financial strength, performance and changes in financial position of an enterprise that is useful to a wide range of users in making economic decisions, intended to be understandable by readers who have reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and accounting and who are willing to study the information diligently (Klüh and Stella, 2008). Financial strength was used in describing certain extent to which an entity is constrained by its financial situation in pursuing its strategic goals or policies. An entity is financially strong when it is relatively unconstrained and weak when financial constraints are binding on policy choices. The financial strength of the banks is intimately linked to the successful management of the enterprise (Stella, 2005).

The analysis on the external and internal environment of Primark retailing industry

Introduction The omnipresence of global trends and innovations debunk the idea of business monopoly and empire states. Today, the trends are set to maximize the potential of human powers by trivializing simple phenomena in order to fashion complex and subtle effects. In the minds of prominent sociologists and philosophers these trivialization of occurrences brought about by man's deepest desire of uncovering the truth and meaning of life. However, our correspondence and connection with the truth is indirect and diluted which can only be accessible via representations and constructs. Hence, the necessity, though, not necessarily is, of excavating the truth embedded on phenomena became an ordinary human laborious pursuit. Moreover, due to rapid changes on various aspects of human life our reactions vary depending on the way we perceive it, while forming effective and efficient mechanisms become a mechanical elocutionary act. This fact is paralleled with the nature and condition of b
