CSME – Nov 2015 – L2 – Q4 – Risk Management and Corporate Strategy

Analyzes strengths and weaknesses of Toyin Trust Insurance Plc pre- and post-2000 ownership changes, and suggests strategies for sustaining the company.

Question

Toyin Trust Insurance Company is one of the duly registered insurance companies in Nigeria. Ten years after it started operations in 1990, the company had become a household name in the market. Its strengths included timely payment of claims and introduction of quality products that captured changing customers’ needs.

At inception, the company was 100% foreign-owned, with five of the seven directors being experienced expatriate insurance practitioners. However, by 2000, over 90% of the equity had been transferred to Nigerian investors. In 2009, following reorganization, many experienced senior managers resigned, and inexperienced staff took over key positions, leading to a decline in service quality and a 40% drop in premium collection.

Required:

a. Analyze the strengths of Toyin Trust Insurance Plc before 2000. (5 Marks)
b. Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of Toyin Trust Insurance Plc after 2000. (5 Marks)
