Question # 2 of 15 ( Start time: 03:45:19 AM ) Total Marks: 1
Production volume of 1,200 units cost incurred Rs. 10,000 and production volume of 1,400 units cost incurred Rs.20, 000. The variable cost per unit would be?
Select correct option:

Rs. 50.00 per unit

Rs. 8.33 per unit

Rs. 14.20 per unit

Rs. 100 per unit

(I got confused in this question, what I'm getting:
variable cost per unit = total variable cost/total number of units produced

one solution could be;
in producing 1200 units, total cost incurred was 10000, and
in producing 1400 units, total cost incurred was 20000

1400 - 1200 = 200 units
20000 - 10000 = 10000 cost

What is Business Plan. (3 Marks)

A business plan is a written document prepared by the entrepreneur that describes all the relevant external and internal elements involved in starting a new venture. It addresses both short- and long-term decision making. The business plan is like a road map for the business’ development. The Internet also provides outlines for business planning.

Why business plan is significant. (5 Marks)

Business plan is significant because, in running or starting a business, the learning curve is short before you run out of resources and are forced to close. Therefore, a business plan helps you set up a sound framework, model and system ahead of time, as well as, treat potential problems and threats, so that you can capably run a business. A funding business plan will save you a lot of time and money. The beautiful thing about a business plan is that it actually creates the future of your business, as you want it to be. It gives you more control over what future success will come. More importantly, it gives you a great process to grow the future business you desire, whether that is a start up, acquisition, expansion or build out.

How present business plan to potential investor

It is often necessary for an entrepreneur to orally present the business plan to investors.

Typically the entrepreneur provides a short (20-30 minutes) presentation of the business plan. The entrepreneur must sell their business concept in a short time period. A venture capitalist or angel group may also ask the entrepreneur to present the plan to their partners before making a final decision.

Strategic issues in international entrepreneurship

Strategic Issues to Consider:

1. Is rapid entry into the market needed?

2. Will joint venture result in obtaining a competitive advantage?

3. The allocation of responsibility between the U.S. and the foreign operation.

4. Would the joint venture lower the chances of expropriation (mining ventures)?

5. What’s the degree of standardization possible?

What will your strategic planning while enter international market

When you decide to enter into the international market you should keep few things in mind. When you decide to enter into the international market you should change your mindset. Each and every country has its own tradition and culture. The same product, brand name and marketing campaign are not sufficient to introduce your business to other countries. You have to know about the country and the requirements specific to the nation. The important thing that is required is the research about the country you are trying to expose your business into. Study the culture, requirements and the market for your product. Learn about the international policies of the country to avoid legal problems later. Talk more about your international marketing strategy to friends and relatives living in other countries. As you spend more of your time in doing this research you will be able to get a clear idea of what people in other countries want from you. It is important that you have to build a trust among the people about your product

Question/Description

Topic:              External Assessment

Learning Objectives:

·                                 To highlight the external factors that can have an impact on company’s operations

·                                 To enlighten the impact of External Factors on company’s strategies

Learning Outcomes:

After completing this activity, the student will understand:

·                                 Significance of external assessment of company.

·                                 How company incorporates change of external factors in its own strategies?

The Case

GOURMET started its operations as a bakery and confectioner shop in 1987 in Lahore. With focus on customer’s need and serving quality products, it has diversified into a versatile food company and has spread its network all over the city of Lahore. The products include bakery items, mithai, dairy products, beverages, traditional halwas and premium bakery items/beverages etc. It has also extended the operations by introducing restaurants and providing catering for all occasion.    

It is the largest Lahore-based food retail chain of Pakistan having competitors like Shezan, Doce’, Cakes n Bakes and the Premium bakery brands (Kitchen Cuisine, Masooms, Moods). Shezan restaurant inauguration prompted Gourmet to come and deal in restaurants as well.  Similarly the recent trend of premium bakery brands resulted in the launching of premium sub-brand of gourmet bakers i.e. Bon Vivant.

Point to Ponder

Taking into consideration the above-stated developments, identify and enlist the major External Factors which might have contributed in Gourmet’s business diversification.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SOLUTION IDEA

The term "diversification" is usually associated with a change in the characteristics of the
company's product line and/or market, in contrast to market penetration, market development,
and product development, which represent other types of change in product-market structure.

External factors are those factors which are external to the environment of the GOURMET.

Now discussion is open for u people.. Everybody can contribute to this discussion, in the end we can conclude a solution

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Return expectations

in my point of view:

the external factors may include

·                                 rivalry challenges

·                                 competitors

·                                 customers' demands and needs

·                                 related market environment

Why diversification?
Often companies diversify for a host of good reasons. In other cases, it becomes a survival strategy when single product or service strategy reaches the limits of revenue generation. To achieve genuine success from planned diversification firms must reinforce internal development; pursue value-chain acquisitions, form strategic alliances and joint ventures. Often you will find that each route has its own set of issues like benefits and limitations.

However, diversification must be driven by (1) opportunities afforded in the business environment, (2) in possession of right resources and (3) own the right skills sets to make structural adjustments to extend the range of goods or services to your exising customers or new markets. By extending your portfolio of products or services, you can ensure new regular revenue streams to boost growth prospects.
