Before the introduction of the reforms, the sector was very heavily controlled by the state. Due to the liberalization of the financial sector, Zimbabwean financial services have expanded through the establishment of local banks.

The following years saw a rapid growth in the bank's South African holdings and in 1969 the Dutch Bank of South Africa Limited (later known as Nedbank Ltd) became a wholly owned South African company. For the first time, the Zimbabwean public had the opportunity to acquire a share in a banking institution about 37.35% of the bank's issued capital which is now held by the public.

Therefore, the role played by strategy is crucial to the long-term survival, profitability and growth of the organization, without which the organization is likely to suffer from a strategic operation. This appreciation makes strategists proactive and initiate actions that exploit the opportunities and avoid or minimize the negative impact of the threats that exist. In most cases, the actual strategy will not be a copy of the planned strategy.
The above tasks are essential to the long-term survival, profitability and growth of an organization, without which the organization is likely to suffer from strategic lag. They do this by examining the value chain process and ensuring that each part of the process adds value to the inputs. The value chain concept is based on the assumption that organizational activities must be linked in a chain in adding value to the organization's inputs.
This is in contrast to the functional concept which groups the activities of organizations into functions (Finance Department, Sales Department, Production Department) which must provide services independently by performing these functions. An examination of the factors that determine the intensity of competition in the banking industry in Zimbabwe would help highlight the importance of implementing competitive and sustainable strategies.
RIVALRY AMONG
Given the large number of banks that provide services to the Zimbabwean community, it follows that there is increased competition within the sector for banks to stay in business and benefit from it.

QUALITY
Integrated Total Quality Management can be affirmed in an organization when it ensures, facilitates and integrates the learning of all its members to continuously transform itself, towards a state of complete stakeholder satisfaction. Leadership drives strategy and policies, people management, resources and processes, ultimately leading to excellence in. The goal of a comprehensive quality management self-assessment program is to regularly assess each of these nine criteria and then adopt relevant improvement strategies.
How the executive board and all other managers inspire and drive Total Quality as the organization's fundamental process for continuous improvement. Include commitment to and performance in Total Quality in the appraisal and promotion of staff at all levels.

This allows people to express their feelings, increase the quality of the process as they participate and also feel committed to the decisions made. Perhaps one of the most effective ways to bring about change is that advocated by the three-step model of change. This shows that it is not enough to define the objectives of the planned change in the performance of the group as the achievement of a.
Sustainability at the new level, or sustainability for a desired period should be included in the target. The dramatic reductions in interest rates in the late 1990s have fueled a significant boom in the housing market. Internal forces tend to originate primarily from the internal operations of the organization or from the impact of external changes.
The above are the challenges that management in Zimbabwe's financial services sector has faced as it has scrambled to adapt to the challenges posed by the liberalization of the economy. The implementation of change processes had some fundamental effects on banks and their stakeholders.
TURNAROUND STRATEGY
Zimbabwe's banking sector is known to be stable and management has been accustomed to staying within their comfort zones.
REASONS FOR DECLINING OGARNIZATIONS
This happened against a situation where the Zimbabwean economy was experiencing a falling gross domestic product (GDP) and rising unemployment. This could be due to an economic recession or loss of confidence in the banking sector. Poor management: According to Slatter (1984), characteristics of poor management are one-man rule, combined chairman and CEO with no effective watchdog roles, an ineffective board, neglect of the core business by management and lack of management skills.
Inadequate marketing: A poor marketing plan, no concept of marketing, poor marketing research among other factors are indicative of this problem. This is usually due to poor employee relations, production inefficiencies or poorly trained employees. Over-trading: After the liberalization of the economy, many banks found themselves stuck in the problem in their pursuit of growth, but without sufficient capital base to support the increased trading activities.
The above are the main underlying reasons for under-performance in most of the institutions.
PROSPECTS FOR RECOVERABILITY
Previous researchers have established a link between decline and diversification by suggesting that poor financial performance influences the choice of diversification strategy. Ra maim jam and Varadarajan (1989) also suggested that a diversification strategy is a likely response to poor financial performance. Prior studies have suggested that strategic choice for failing firms depends on past trends in financial performance.
HI: Perceptions of past financial performance influence small firms' choices between growth and downsizing strategies. Subsequent research by Hofer and Schendel (1978) suggested that a firm's resource profile combines the following resources and capabilities: (1) financial resources (e.g., cash flow, debt capacity, new equity availability); In addition to this link between resources and growth strategies, resource constraints have been associated with poor financial performance among publicly traded firms.
In other words, the strategy choice of a firm with poor financial performance depends on the availability of resources. It can also be concluded that the result of a trend in poor financial performance is the limitation of resources.

A determination of the company's liquidity position to develop short-term liquidity forecasts and financing needs. This will hasten the downfall of the organization and defeat all intentions and efforts to turn around. The Zimbabwean experience is that most of the companies that went under judicial management were eventually liquidated.
One of the sensible and practical approaches is to downsize your business and keep only the profitable parts. Further efforts can be made to dispose of these redundant claims to improve the company's liquidity position. There is a need to discover the profitable areas of the business, which areas would then form.
In pursuing this strategy, the company must ensure there is a clear understanding of costs, which individual products/services are least/most profitable and their specific dependencies, as well as how transfer costs distort profitability. Ultimately, when a company is in trouble, it is almost certain that the company's resources, strategy, structure and culture are completely misaligned.

Shortening the questionnaire to fit telephone interviews would have led to the loss of vital information. Therefore, the method was set aside based on the preferred length of the questionnaire. Semi-structured, structured and open-ended questions were used in the questionnaire to ensure that individual responses were obtained in an easily interpretable manner in support or opposition to the stated research questions.
The questionnaire had a significant number of open-ended questions to enable respondents to answer freely in their own words. Most of the questionnaire was multiple choice and the respondents were limited to choose from a set of alternatives. The complexity and specialization of quantitative data analysis led to the assistance of statistical specialists on the use of the program.
It is a package that has strong statistical capabilities and offers one of the best environments for detailed statistical analysis of quality-related issues. SPSS eliminates most of the data limitations found in some of its competitors such as SAS, Minitab.

- Conclusion
Because of ZIMBANK customer service, I have increased the frequency of my transactions with the bank. Thanks to ZIMBANK customer service, I have increased the monetary value of transactions with the bank. Through ZIMBANK's customer service, now for the first time things are in order Through ZIMBANK's customer service, ZIMBANK is now effectively meeting my credit needs.
Thanks to ZIMBANK customer service, the bank will stand by me when times get tough. The bank was also rated highly for getting everything right the first time (4.17) and being easy to do business with (5.15). The bank was also highly rated because it got everything right the first time and was easy to do business with.
The bank's work to correct the negatives is evidenced despite the high ratings given to ZIMBANK for the quality of its products and excellent service delivery. Given the current crisis in Zimbabwe's banking sector, which includes cash crunch and brain drain, it is suggested that the bank should consider strengthening its strengths in order to prevent potential market share losses.
