1. Explain the importance of strategy analysis and understanding management capabilities in the assessment of internal risks.
2. You are the newly appointed corporate relationship manager in ABC Bank. One of your customers is a leading regional supermarket chain, known for the quality of its products. It is understood that the company is engaged in a strategy of rapid expansion of outlets from 38 to 80 by channelling the flow of liquidity into the investment of new stores rather than managing the present business. As a result, the company is facing stocking issues in all its stores; however the company management has assured you that this is a temporary phenomenon. Explain how you would assess the internal risks of this customer and the steps you would take to protect the interests of the bank.
