What is BUSINESS????????
A business can be defined as an organization that provides goods
and services to others who want or need them.
When many people think of business careers, they often think of
jobs in large wealthy corporations. Many business-related careers,
however, exist in small businesses, non-profit organizations,
government agencies, and educational settings.
Furthermore, you don't need a degree in business to obtain many
of these positions. In short, every sector of our economy needs
people with strong overall skills that can be applied to business-
type careers.

What is Business Environment???????????????
 The business environment is anything which surrounds the business
organization. It affects the decisions, strategies, processes and
performance of the business. The micro environment consists of different
types of stakeholders - customers, employees, suppliers, board of
directors and creditors. The macro environment consists of factors which
are beyond the control of the business (STEP) - Social, Technological,
Economical and Political.
 Changes in the micro environment will directly affect and impinge on the
firm's activities. Changes in the macro environment will indirectly affect
the business but will nonetheless affect it. For example, a change in
legislation such as the smoking ban indirectly affects pubs and
restaurants.

Case on Timex:
 Timex watch Co. produced timing devices for explosives during
second world war. The company suddenly decided to produce cheap
mechanical watches as wristwatches at that time were expensive,
delicate and were sold through jewellery stores. Timex now became
the competitor , for low end watch market. Now Timex’s efforts
became highly successful and at their heydays any one of three
watches sold in this world was Timex watch.
 It has its competition from digital watches as the cost of mechanical
watches had gone down due to which mechanical watches had to
suffer great loss. The position of Timex in the form of a global giant
fell down.Timex now begin to develop their digital technology . They
struggled a lot . They made their foray into personal computer
segment. They could not reap the perfect alignment among the
strategic intent, internal strengths and external opportunities that it
once had in wristwatch market.

Models for framing business strategies are:
BCG Matrix.
Porter’s framework.
Mckinsey’s Framework.

BCG Matrix.
 Squares are framed keeping in mind two
aspects.
 1. growth rate of market.
 2. relative market share.

BCG matrix:
 Stars: H- market share H- growth rate.
 Generate high rate of cash flow.
 Cash cow: H-slow growth but in a continuous
phase and High market share.
 Dogs: L- Low market share. L-low profit.
 ?: H- market growth. L-Market share.
 As per case in which square does Timex co. fall
and why?

Porter’s Framework of Competition Analysis:
Every organization has some technical resources, which enable it to
compete in the market.
Threat of entry : A company wants to keep its existence in tact . Threat of
entry by new firm may increase competitive intensity . Eg. Threat of entry
by new firms pose serious threats for Indian companies.
Threats of substitute products: Advancement of new technology has
made many old products strengthened the competition. The firm and
industry already in existence were at stake.

POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT: A CLOSE LOOK
The Government runs through constitutional
provisions.
Takes major economic decisions creates:


situation
institutes bodies
So any analysis of business environment must be addressed to
constitutional provisions.

The major role of the government
started when the policy of “laissez
faire” was discarded.
In the freedom struggle it was decided
that government will have a pro-active
role in economic development.

Role of the government:
 Mobilizer of income:
 It mobilizes certain part of money national
income through taxation or by other channels .
 Entrepreneur :
 Controls the scares resources. Builds factories
invest in business enterprises involving risk.

 Regulator:
 Reserves the sectors for small scale sectors,
regulates investment limits, ceiling on land
holdings.
 Creator:
 Develop business creating corporations. Indian
Oil Corporation, Gas Authority of India.

 Promotional role:
 This is also important in developing countries as
well as developed countries.
 Government provides infrastructure.
 Planning role:
 Proper utilization of scares resources.
 Prioritization of development objectives.

Protection of liberty and freedom of an individual
as well as the business community:
 Fundamental Rights:
(ensure social,economic and political justice)
 Directive Principles of state policy.

Fundamental rights:
 Right to equality.
 Right to Freedom.
 Right against exploitation.
 Right to freedom of religion.
 Right to property.
 Cultural and educational rights.

Technological Environment- A close look.
 There is difference between :
 Technology in use and
 Technology available.
 Available ---- many technologies are there.
 In use -------- limited.
 Technology :
 Changes the value of society.
 Increases prosperity of a nation.
 Important for persistent growth.

Technological Environment- A close
look.
 It reaches consumers through commodities and services.
 If any society cannot accept the technology it means the
particular technology has no relevance with that Nation.
 Helps in new development in business as well as
product/service.
 The level of technology determines largely what product
and service will be produced , what equipments can be
used and how operations will be managed.
 Pros and cons of technology:
 Pros: cross-culture advancement. We import technology
from USA. Advancement in technology leads to
improvisation of a product.

Cons: (evil effects)
websites like ORKUT and other friend groups are
misused and are used as a wrong and illegal source of
information.
Like terrorism .
Mobile phones with cameras are used to click pictures
and making movies for teasing and blackmailing the girls.
Human bombs

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT:
A glimpse.
 What is globalization:
 “The transnational decentralization of production
and services in a process by which low-added-
value labor is exported from rich countries, or at
least the rich regions of rich countries”, to create
the ‘international division of labor’.
 The increased interdependence of nations'
economies as a result of the impact of the
transportation and communication revolutions on
how business firms conduct their operations.

•
let us know….
•Globalization is the hunt for markets to sell products and services at the
highest prices and the hunt for procuring products and services at the
lowest prices.
• The manufacturing industry witnessed the first wave of globalization in
which China has emerged the winner in terms of attracting jobs for its citizens
and attracting foreign investment: last year, in fact, it became the world's
largest net recipient.
• Americans who lost their jobs in manufacturing fridges, microwaves, and air
conditioners, that wave of globalization was not a blessing. But for the overall
economy of world, that wave was great. Millions of consumers in other
countries are benefiting from the low price of Chinese goods. China used the
money earned from manufacturing to buy foreign goods and services, thus
creating a giant market for foreign companies to sell their products. Even now,
China's trade surplus is only around $30 billion-which is smaller than that of
Japan, Germany, or even Russia.

Essential conditions for GLOBALIZATION:
Business freedom: No import restriction , restriction on sourcing
finance. , foreign investment.
Facilities: extent to which an enterprise can develop globally from
home country base depends on the facilities available like the
infrastructural facility.
Government Support: in the form of procedural reforms,
development of infrastructural facilities.
Resources: include finance technology R & D capabilities etc. Many
small firms become successful in international market if they
possess any one resource in ample quantity.

Competitiveness: A firm may derive competitive advantage
from any one or more of the factors such as low costs and
price , product quality , product differentiation,
technological superiority , marketing strength .
Orientation: Introducing your product in different
countries.

Entry strategies:
 Exporting
 licensing
 franchising
 contract manufacturing
 management contract

 joint venture strategic alliance.

 EXPORTING:
 Simplest way of entering foreign markets.
 The company may passively export its products
and make active commitment to expand exports.
 Eg. India exports “basmati rice” to the remaining
world.

LICENSING:
Company granting license: LICENSOR.
Company getting license: LICENSEE.
Licensor gets the royalty from licensee.
License is given by one country to another to
use its intellectual property patent trademark .

Cross licensing:
mutual exchange of knowledge. Cash payment may
or may not be involved.
Eg: Airtel and Nokia.
Trademark licensing:
the names of designers, sports team and movie
stars appear on clothing toys games beverages.
Eg: Thumps Up. T-shirts and bands.

Joint venture licensing:
Having contract with a company of a country in
which you want to enter.
Eg. Walt Disney had a joint venture with Modis for
marketing its products in India.

Franchising:
A form of licensing in which one company
(the franchiser) grants another independent
entity (franchisee) the right to do business in
a prescribed manner.
It may involve supplying even an important
ingredient for a finished good. Eg. Coca cola
supply syrup to the bottlers.

Contract manufacturing:
A company doing international marketing contracts
with firms in foreign countries to manufacture or
assemble the products . E.g. Park Davis , Hindustan
Lever , etc.
Godrej soaps manufactured Dettol for Reckitt and Coleman,
Johnson’s soap for J & J and Ponds dream flower for Ponds.

DO YOU KNOW????
NISSAN is Marketing or branding
Maruti Suzuki A-Star in Europe.
Deal was finalized for 50,000 units
now reduced to 10,000 units.

Management contracting:
The firm provides management know how and may
not have any equity stake in enterprise .
Known as a package of skills.
E.g. Tata Tea, Harrison have contract to manage
number of plantations in Sri Lanka.

Joint Venture:
Any form of association which implies
collaboration for a long period of time .
The ownership is shared by all the companies
involved.
Eg. ICICI & Prudential
MAX & New York Life.

Strategic Alliance:
A kind of contact between the companies which
enables them to increase resource productivity and
profitability without fragmentation of resources and
duplication of investment.
e.g. Apple and IBM had a strategic alliance for development of software
and hardware technology for a new generation of desktop computers.
Tata tea had alliance with Tetley for marketing.

Impact of Globalization:
 Globalization of business is bringing in seasoned
competitors from the developed countries into the
growing markets of the Third World. Consequently,
the survival of local enterprises and entrepreneurs is
being threatened. Third World managers need to
develop a global mindset in order to take advantage
of the changed new world order in business.

Benefits of Globalization:
 speedy and easy transportation of goods and services.
 reduction in the chances of war amongst the developed
countries.
 increase in the free international trade between countries.
 growing connectivity with the development of global mass media.
 diminishing the cultural barriers, propagating democratic
idealism.
 increasing interdependence between the nation-states.
 growing liquidity of capital, rising possibilities of investment of
the developed countries in the developing ones.
 easy and flexible operations of corporations across borders,
increase in the connectivity between the individuals and
corporations all over the world, and policies undertaken in the
developed countries for growing environmental protection.

Globalization is bad:
 The definition and the process of globalization is not satisfactorily
explained and implemented.
Ambiguity arises from the very definition of globalization. Today, the
business fraternity believes that globalization is the main equity that any
modern day industry can have. The developed world industry has already
equipped themselves with the relevant technology and techniques required
to practice globalization along with sustainable development. The
developing countries like India and Brazil are finding it hard to equate these
2 terms at a practical level.
Further, globalization represents an agglomeration of developmental terms
like poverty, inequality, hunger and environmental degradation.

Cont…
 The poverty level and inequality index of each of the countries are
well defined according to the economical conditions of the respective
country. No measures of eradication are given in globalization.
 Further, it also affected large quantities of money moving in and out of
economies. Smooth dissemination of information and money are no
more a constrain for the business fraternity.
The international institutions like the World Trade
Organization, the World Bank, and the International
Monetary Fund are seen as the main facilitators for
establishing, monitoring, and rendering judgments on global
trade practices, and are viewed as servants of big multinational
companies

 Cont….
.
 Multinational companies are being accused of social
injustice, unfair working conditions, low labor wages,
living standards, and working conditions.
 Lack of concern for environment, overuse of natural
resources, and ecological damage are other important
areas of concern for these activists. These anti-
globalization activists argue that the overall economic
growth of the world economy does not effectively make
people content and happy but on the contrary it makes
them miserable.
 The multinationals invest in developing countries only to
meet their profit projections at the cost of poor and the
under-privileged population of developing nations.

Socio-cultural environment
A brief study.
 Culture: refers to knowledge, belief, values the
common view points and other capabilities.
 There is considerable ‘cultural illiteracy’ among
our policy-makers, planners, administrators and
experts (Indian as well as foreign) which comes in
the way of the success of many developmental
projects launched with good intentions.
 ‘cultural illiteracy’ ignorance of socio-cultural
factors development, inadequate acquaintance
with grassroots reality and a lack of
comprehension of the vital role which culture plays.

Eg. The clothes and outfits which are very often used
in worn in western society are not prevalent in
Muslim society.
Thus a producer should have a clear view of social
customs , taste and preference.
Indian boys and girls demand for Demins now
because of openness of society.

Social factors in India are:
Poverty and poverty alleviation programmes.
Labor and employment.
Development of women and children.
Education.
Health.
Population and family welfare .
Public amenities in rural and urban areas.

Poverty and poverty alleviation.
What is poverty??????????
Hunger lack of shelter inability to access medical
help and education.
It can be measured at !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Country level: ----- on the basis of income or
consumption level of an individual.
Global level:--- criterion as per world bank for
comparison of countries.
It has been estimated that in 2001 1.1 billion
people had consumption level below $1 per day or
Rs. 40 per day.

Trade Unionism:
It is organization of workers formed to

The first phase (1850 to1900)
During this phase the inception of trade unions
took place.
During this period, the working and living
conditions of the labor were poor and their
working hours were long. Capitalists were only
interested in their productivity and profitability.
In addition, the wages were also low and general
economic conditions were poor in industries.
In order to regulate the working hours and other
service conditions of the Indian textile laborers,
the Indian Factories Act was enacted in 1881. As a
result, employment of child labor was prohibited.

The United Trade Union Congress

CASE STUDY ON M & M.
Mahindra and Mahindra manufactures and market jeeps and had a
hold over considerable portion of the jeep market in India in past. It
was ranked sixth in the automobile sector of India in 2004.
Following are the prominent jeeps which operate in the Indian market
currently----Mahindra- Voyager,Armada,Commander.
M & M is now facing problems like cut-throat competition , price rise
and sluggish market of jeeps. In terms of price competition , M & M
had an upper hand compared to TATA jeeps while tempo Trax has a
comparatively low price.
Realizing the need to grow fast, the company formulated an export
policy. It paid off well.the first step was participation in trade fairs
abroad particularly in Germany and Paris this has helped to popularise
its vehicle in those countries.

M & M jeeps started selling in France (Paris) and export
became an important marketing activity of the company. The
company started manufacturing diesel engines in
collaboration with Peugeot of France.
As soon as the company know that Australia Denmark Italy
Norway and Sweden could prove to be potential markets the
plan began to be made accordingly. The company estimated
that it will be able to export 2500 jeeps annually to Australia.
Order to cater to the lower segment the company in
Australia faced competition from Japanese companies. The
Govt.’s liberalization policy lso be helpful.
The companies new policy was to take into account
environmental factors. The export policy with special
reference to export market also considerable evaluation and
analysis because

Environmental factors as technology economics social and
political influence relevant to strategic decisions operate in
an industry.
M & M assessed all the opportunities in the market as well
as the impact of external environment on their strategic
planning before expanding production .
