The questionnaire was distributed among nine the top managers of the Bank. Next, the measures related to financial affairs, customers, internal processes, as well as learning and growth were found out by 'factor analysis' of the data.

Accordingly, the research methodology was characteristically a descriptive survey. The strategic measures and strategy map of the bank were found on the basis of the research.
