Q1. What is Sales Management? Discuss the considerations in the formulation of Sales Strategy for the following products:
(a) Any Industrial Product of your choice
(b) For a newly introduced consumer durable (ceiling fan brand) in a highly competitive market.
Ans:
Sales management is a business discipline which is focused on the practical application of sales techniques and the management of a firm's sales operations. It is an important business function as net sales through the sale of products and services and resulting profit drive most commercial business. These are also typically the goals and performance indicators of sales management.
Sales management refers to the administration of the personal selling component of an organization's marketing program. It includes the planning, implementation, and control of sales programs, as well as recruiting, training, motivating, and evaluating members of the sales force. The fundamental role of the sales manager is to develop and administer a selling program that effectively contributes to the achievement of the goals of the overall organization. The term "sales manager" may be properly applied to several members of an organization, including: marketing executives, managers of field sales forces, district and division managers, and product line sales administrators. This text emphasizes the role of managers that oversee a field sales force.
The attainment of sales force goals in an effective and efficient manner through planning, staffing, training, directing, and evaluating organizational resources.”
Note that these functions are mentioned repeatedly in these summaries of sales management:
- Sales planning
- Recruiting / staffing
- Training
- Controlling / directing
- Evaluating
- Effectiveness / efficiency
- Compensation
A) Any Industrial Product of your choice of Formulation of Sales Strategy for Lux
Setting Lux Product objectives - The key component of any strategy statement is to set the long-term objectives of the organization. It is known that strategy is generally a medium for realization of organizational objectives. Objectives stress the state of being there whereas Strategy stresses upon the process of reaching there. Strategy includes both the fixation of objectives as well the medium to be used to realize those objectives. Thus, strategy is a wider term which believes in the manner of deployment of resources so as to achieve the objectives.
While fixing the organizational objectives, it is essential that the factors which influence the selection of objectives must be analyzed before the selection of objectives. Once the objectives and the factors influencing strategic decisions have been determined, it is easy to take strategic decisions.
Evaluating the Uniliver Environment - The next step is to evaluate the general economic and industrial environment in which the organization operates. This includes a review of the Uniliver competitive position. It is essential to conduct a qualitative and quantitative review of an organizations existing product line. The purpose of such a review is to make sure that the factors important for competitive success in the market can be discovered so that the management can identify their own strengths and weaknesses as well as their competitors’ strengths and weaknesses.

Q1. What is the role played by business information in an organization? Define Management Information System and discuss various characteristics expected of a good MIS.
Ans:
Role played by business information in an organization
Communication
For many companies, email is the principal means of communication between employees, suppliers and customers. Email was one of the early drivers of the Internet, providing a simple and inexpensive means to communicate. Over the years, a number of other communications tools have also evolved, allowing staff to communicate using live chat systems, online meeting tools and video-conferencing systems. Voice over internet protocol (VOIP) telephones and smart-phones offer even more high-tech ways for employees to communicate.
Inventory Management
When it comes to managing inventory, organizations need to maintain enough stock to meet demand without investing in more than they require. Inventory management systems track the quantity of each item a company maintains, triggering an order of additional stock when the quantities fall below a pre-determined amount. These systems are best used when the inventory management system is connected to the point-of-sale (POS) system. The POS system ensures that each time an item is sold, one of that item is removed from the inventory count, creating a closed information loop between all departments.
Data Management
The days of large file rooms, rows of filing cabinets and the mailing of documents is fading fast. Today, most companies store digital versions of documents on servers and storage devices. These documents become instantly available to everyone in the company, regardless of their geographical location. Companies are able to store and maintain a tremendous amount of historical data economically, and employees benefit from immediate access to the documents they need.
Management Information Systems
Storing data is only a benefit if that data can be used effectively. Progressive companies use that data as part of their strategic planning process as well as the tactical execution of that strategy. Management Information Systems (MIS) enable companies to track sales data, expenses and productivity levels. The information can be used to track profitability over time, maximize return on investment and identify areas of improvement. Managers can track sales on a daily basis, allowing them to immediately react to lower-than-expected numbers by boosting employee productivity or reducing the cost of an item.

Q1. What is the system view of operations Management? Identify the input, process and output for the following production systems.
a) Automobile manufacturing
b) A restaurant
Ans:
System view of operations Management
A System is a group of interrelated items in which no item studied in isolation will act in the same way as it would in the system.A system is divided into a series of parts or subsystems, and any system is a part of a larger system.The system’s boundary defines what is inside the system and what is outside.A system’s environment is everything outside the system boundary that may have an impact on the behaviour of the system.A system’s inputs are the physical objects of information that enter it from the environment and its outputs are the same which leave it for the environment.
The activities in an operations system can be classified as inputs, transformation process and output. Inputs are classified into three general categories-external, market and primary resources. Transformation resources are the elements that act on, or carry out, the transformation process on other elements. These include such elements as labour, equipment/plant and energy. The nature and mix of these resources will differ between operations. The transformed resources are the elements which give the operations system its purpose and goal. The operations system is concerned with converting the transformed resources from inputs into outputs in the form of goods and services. There are three main types of transformed resource of materials which can be transformed either physically(e.g. manufacturing),by location (e.g. transportation),by ownership(e.g.retail) or by storage(e.g.Warehousing) or other private services, Government services.

Q1. Distinguish between project and production management, giving examples. What, according to you, are the critical success factors in project management?
Ans:
There will be a crossroad, at some point, when every contractor must evaluate the direction of the business in order to begin the growth of the company. This crossroad will define the company’s management, and how current and future projects are being contracted and completed. This article will help define the differences between two models, Project Management and Production Management, to better understand each and explain the benefits and pitfalls in detail.
The Project Manager model, by name, indicates the management function. The Project Manager is, in whole, the responsible individual for procuring the work, bidding, manpower, subbing, cost management, purchasing, etc.
Example
Most companies will not financially be able to provide any additional help, such as, secretarial, estimating or purchasing. This leaves the Project Manager in a problematic position. In scale, the Project Manager must solicit work by advertising, using bid rooms or other methods of securing projects to bid on. Finding time to bid the projects, knowing the capture rates can be as low as 1 in 10 can place our Project Manager in position of not managing current work in progress. The Project Manager is left with two possible occurrences:
1) A job without proper management could become problematic overnight. This situation is avoidable through good planning and support from executive management.
2) Severe changes in workloads, going from high levels to low levels, or no work at all. While the Project Manager was unable to sell or bid projects during the high work load period due to managing the work, the “Peak and Valley” syndrome will dominate.
This is not to say all Project Managers operate in such a manner. These scenarios exist and work well, provided the executive management plays a role in defining the needs and having the capability to cope during the valley segments. The Project Manager must be able to manage time very well and keep compliant with schedules and manpower requirements to meet production goals.

Q1. What do you understand by Economic Appraisal of a project? Discuss the various aspects of economic appraisal and explain their significance.
Ans:
Economic Appraisal - hereafter referred to simply as "appraisal" - is about getting a good deal from public expenditure. It is a key tool for achieving value for money and satisfying public accountability requirements. It is a systematic process for examining alternative uses of resources, focusing on assessment of needs, objectives, options, costs, benefits, risks, funding, affordability and other factors relevant to decisions. Appraisal is:-
• Designed to assist in defining problems and finding solutions that offer the best value for money (VFM).
• A way of thinking expenditure proposals through, right from the emergence of the need for a policy, programme or project, until its implementation.
• The established vehicle for planning and approving public expenditure policies, programmes and projects.
Economic appraisal and economic evaluation are general names for a set of techniques that weigh up the costs of an action against the benefits that it provides. The distinction between appraisal and evaluation is that appraisal is undertaken before the action is taken, to decide what is to be done, and evaluation is undertaken after the action, to monitor its effects. However, except in certain circumstances this distinction is usually forgotten and the terms are used interchangeably in much of health economics. In recent years, the expression evaluation has become dominant in the health economics literature, but appraisal is used here.
The usual label given to this activity in economics is cost-benefit analysis (CBA). However, that term is often reserved in health economics for a particular technique related to the measurement of overall allocation efficiency, as defined in Section
This will be explained below. CBA is a structured approach to help decision makers choose between alternative ways of using resources. Its main aim is to measure efficiency in areas where there is public involvement and there are therefore no market-based measures available to judge issues of efficiency. Equity issues should, in principle, be considered as part of an economic appraisal, but there are fewer formal techniques available to analyse this aspect.

Q1. Distinguish the different working capital financing strategies. Under the present capital and money market conditions which of these would you recommend to a consumer durable manufacturing firm. Explain with reasons & list out your assumption, if any.
Ans: There are broadly 3 working capital management strategies / approaches to choose the mix of long and short term funds for financing the net working capital of a firm viz. Conservative, Aggressive, Hedging (Or Maturity Matching) approach. These strategies are different because of their different trade-off between risk and profitability. Another remarkable difference is the extent or proportion of application of long and short term fund to finance the working capital.
The terms methods of working capital management, strategies and approaches to working capital management are interchangeably used in general parlance. But, ultimately the concept is important. We need to understand the following relationship in depth for understanding the concept in its true sense.
SHORT TERM vs. LONG TERM FINANCING VIS A VIS RISK AND PROFITABILITY TRADEOFF
Profitability Standpoint: In general, short term interest rates are cheaper to long term interest rates because of the term premium. That means short term has lower interest cost and higher profitability whereas long term has higher interest cost and lower profitability. Especially, when the long term funds are utilized to finance the working capital, unnecessary interest is paid for the periods when the funds are not utilized. In essence, the short term financing wins the race if profitability is the concern. Let’s now look at the risk concern.
Risk Standpoint: There are two risks involved in short term financing viz. Refinancing Risk and Risk of Interest Rate Fluctuations with Refinancing. Refinancing is very uncertain and if the lender denies it for any reason, the options left to the borrower for making payment is either to sell off the assets and pay or file for liquidation if failed to realize the assets. Risk of adverse change in interest rate while refinancing may increase the cost of financing and this risk leads to low profitability. On the contrary, long term financing neither have refinancing risk nor the risk of change of interest rate frequently. Here, the long term financing wins the race...

1. Explain how the concept of leverage stretch and fit positions the firm in the market. Illustrate your answer with the help of examples.
Ans.: Using the leverage of time is the most fundamental strategy for success. There are only so many hours in a day that you can work. If you use only your own time, you can achieve only so much. If you leverage other people's time, you can increase productivity to an extraordinary extent. In the article “Strategy as Stretch and Leverage” by G. Hamel and CK Prahalad write: Global competition is not just product-versus-product or company-versus-company. It’s mindset-versus-mindset. Driven to understand the dynamics of competition, we have learned a lot about what makes one company more successful than another. But to find the ‘root of competitiveness’– to understand why some companies create new forms of competitive advantage, while others watch and follow– we must look at the strategic mindsets. For many managers, being strategic means pursuing opportunities that fit the company’s resources. This approach is not wrong, but it obscures an approach in which ‘stretch’ supplements ‘fit’, which means creating chasm between ambition and resource… and where leverage complements the strategic allocation of resources. Managers at competitive companies can get a bigger-bang-for-the-buck in five basic ways: Concentrate resources around strategic goals; accumulate resources more efficiently; complement one kind of resource with another; conserve resources whenever they can; and recover resources from the market-place as quickly as possible.
The concept of strategic intent is widely popular, and it gained currency from his article with the same title in Harvard Business Review, May-June 1989 (Hammel and Prahalad, 1989). This concept went much further than specific strategic goals and milestones, but was not so broad as organizational purpose; it was a sort of vision of what the organization’s position in a business would be like at a future point. I found it hard to distinguish it from a broad strategic objective, and though executed in incremental steps, organizations do have a direction and consistency in their actions with a view to achieving the broad objective. Strategic intent implied also a stretch in the organization (a concept he developed later as “stretch and leverage,” see below) and its resources, with a view to achieving something not recognized as easily achievable. Strategic intent would thus be a stretched and clearly understood broad strategic objective of what a firm intended to achieve. It enabled a firm to strive to reach out to much greater heights than would be apparent from a traditional SWOT analysis. The concept of core competence challenged the managers to view their firms as a portfolio of competencies rather than as a portfolio of businesses....

Q1. What are the different approaches to organisation? Briefly explain the 7s model with the help of examples.
Ans: The basic elements of organisations have remained the same over the years. Organisations have purposes (be they explicit or implicit), attract people, acquire and use resources to achieve the objectives, use some form of structure to divide (division of labour) and coordinate activities, and rely on certain positions/people to lead or manage others. While the elements of organizations are the same as ever before, the purposes o\f organisation, structures, ways of doing things, methods of coordination and control have always varied widely over the years and even at the same time amongst different organisations. For example, public sector organisation in India with there multiple objectives in early years were not roused by the profit motive but are now required to make surpluses. At a given point in the time of history. Ford Motors relied more on centralization and General Motors on decentralization. The crucial aspect that accounts for the differences is how an organisation adapts itself to the environment. Organisation being part of the society affects and is affected by the changes in society. The changes could be social, economic, technical, legal or political; they could be in input (labour, capital, materials etc.) or output markets.
It is essential to develop a perspective understanding about organisations because human behaviour and organisational behaviour are influenced by the people in organisations and the specific characteristics in the basic elements in the organisations and the way they adapt themselves to the environment. There is considerable body of knowledge and literature, called organisation theories, developed over the years reflecting what goes on in organisations. Organisation theories are sets of propositions which seek to explain or predict how individuals and groups behave indifferent organisational structures and circumstances.
