Case Title DBS Bank - Ship Financing Challenges in Asia
Case Author(s) Wee Beng Geok Thomas Gleave Ivy Buche
University Nanyang Technological University
Abstract The move from being a Singapore centric bank to one anchored in Asia, saw DBS extending its presence in Asian markets and increasing the depth and breadth of its services across the region. The success of the bank's strategic thrust into Asia's ship financing market would depend on its ability to build a portfolio of shipping clients by leveraging on the knowledge networks and other invisible links across the extended group. The case focuses on the issues of organizational design and its impact on strategy implementation. It also addresses the problem of developing knowledge networks in geographically distributed organizations, especially in the highly specialized and competitive business of ship financing.
