Subject code & name MBA101 – Management Process and Organisation Behavior

1. Define the terms ‘strategy’. Explain the following:
a) Corporate strategy
b) Business strategy
c) Functional strategy

Strategy

Once  you  have  your  vision,  you  have  to  see  how  that  vision  can  be executed. Here is where strategy comes in. Strategy means the grand plan and the term is borrowed from the military which distinguished between the grand  plan  and  actual  action  by  calling  the  former  strategy  and  the  latter tactics.

Strategy in organisations can be divided into three: 1) Corporate strategy, 2) Business strategy, 3) Functional strategy

(a) Corporate strategy

If you are a company like TATA  or BIRLA, you will have several businesses under  you  and  a  corporate  headquarters  which  controls  these.  Each  of these businesses  may be run by an independent company much like Tata Motors runs the vehicle business and Tata Consultancy Service runs the IT business (they both are different companies). The corporate headquarters will have grand plans on how

2.  Define  the  term  ‘management’.  Explain  the  Behavioural  science  theory  and Systems theory.

Definition of management

We can realise that management has been happening right through the history of man and it is all about making things smooth or shall we say efficient. It is also about achieving our goals which in modern management literature we call ‘effectiveness’.

According to  Harold Koontz, “Management is an art of getting things done through and with people in formally organised groups. It is an art of creating an  environment  in  which  people  can  perform  as  individuals  and  can  cooperate towards  the  attainment of group goals”. According to  F.W. Taylor,

“Management is an art of knowing what to do, when to do,  and see that it is done in the best and cheapest way”.

3.  Give the definition and importance of planning in an organisation and explain the Portfolio Matrix or BCG Matrix.

Definition and Importance of Planning

Planning  can  be  defined  as  a  basic  management  function  which  enables one to select the purpose of the business, and how the resources should be mustered to achieve that purpose to include using the available resources optimally  to  do  that.  Planning  implies  goal  setting  for  the  organisation keeping in mind the constraints, opportunities,  and threats as much as what the  person  or  business  which  is  planning  wants  to  do.  Thus,  a  plan  is  a blueprint  for  goal  achievement,  a  blue  print  that  specifies  the  necessary resource  allocations,  schedules,  tasks,  and  other  actions  to  achieve  the purpose.

A  goal  is  a  desired  future  state  that  the  organisation  attempts  to  reach. Goals  are  important  because  an  organisation  exists  for  a  purpose,  and goals define and state that purpose. Goals specify

2.  Name the two categories of oral communication. Explain them.

Types of Oral Communication

Oral  communication  has  some  advantages  compared  to  written  communication.  The  advantages  include  personal  quality,  high  interactivity,  possibility  of  making  immediate  contact  and  obtaining instantaneous feedback and control over the receiver’s attention.

Oral  communication  is  classified  into  two  types: -

3. How does internal business communication affect the organization? Discuss the role of each stakeholder in this.

Internal business communication

Business communication is diverse and involves both ‘internal stakeholders’ within  the  organisation,  as  well  as  ‘external  stakeholders’  outside  the  organisation. A manager has to constantly communicate with and maintain good relations with each of these stakeholders or public. This will enable the organisation to achieve its overall goals and project a favourable image.

The wheel of business communication reinforces –  communication  is  like  breathing,  it  never  stops  and  is  a constant  process.  Managers  have  to  stay  in  continuous  touch  with  their internal

Ans 2 (a) : Definition of Probability

Probability  is  a  numerical  measure  which  indicates  the  chance  of  occurrence of an event ‘A’. It is denoted by P(A). It is the ratio between the  favourable  outcomes  of  an  event  ‘A’  (m)  to  the  total  outcomes  of  the  experiment (n). In other words:
Where, ‘m’ is the number  of favourable outcomes of an event ‘A’ and ‘n’ is  the total number of outcomes of the experiment.

2.  Explain Balance Scorecard. Give an illustration of Balance Score Card.

Balanced scorecard

The  balanced  scorecard  is  a  contemporary  performance  measurement  system  for  an  organisation.  Traditionally,  a  company’s  performance  was  measured  only  by  using  certain  financial  ratios  like  Return  on  Investment (ROI), Net Profit Ratio, Earning Per Share  (EPS), working capital turnover, etc.

However,  a  company’s  performance  or  success  cannot  be  completely  measured  from  a  single  view  point  (perspective).  No  doubt,  financial  performance  is  an  important  aspect,  but  certain

1. Define Elasticity of Supply? Explain the factors determining Elasticity of Supply?

Definition Elasticity of Supply

It is a parallel concept to elasticity of demand.  It refers to the sensitiveness or responsiveness of supply  to  a  given  change  in  price.  In  short,  it  measures  the  degree  of adjustability of supply to a given change in price of a product. The formula to calculate elasticity of supply is as follows:


It implies that at the  present level  with every change in price  by one unit, there will be a change in

3. A cost-schedule is a statement of variations in costs resulting from variations in the levels of Output and it shows the response of costs to changes in output. If we represent the relationship between changes in the level of output and costs of production, we get different Types of cost curves in the short run. Define the kinds of cost concepts like TFC, TVC, TC, AFC, AVC, AC and MC and its corresponding curves with suitable diagrams for each.

Answer:

In  order  to  study  the  relationship  between  the  level  of  output  and corresponding cost of production, we have to prepare the cost schedule of the firm.  A cost-schedule is a statement of variations  in costs resulting from variations in the levels of output. It shows the response of costs to changes in output. Below table represents a hypothetical cost schedule of a firm.

3.  What is succession planning? What are the benefits of having a formal Succession Planning System in an organization?

Succession Planning

Traditionally succession planning was restricted to senior-level management positions and this was either an informal or formal process.

Over  the  years  succession  planning  has  established  itself  as  a  key  HR activity  in  most  organisations  with  formal  processes  that  ensure  it  is reviewed  regularly  and  scientifically.  In  smaller  organisations  it  is  yet  an informal process where the individual manager identifies and grooms his or her own successor.

Succession planning involves an examination of strategic (long-range) plans and  HR  forecasts  for  all  identified  key  positions  in  an  organisation.  It includes positions that are critical for the business and for its continuity, and not  just  the  senior  level  positions.  It  includes  a  review  of  the  data  on  all potential  candidates  who  might  be  able  to  move  to  these  positions  either right-away or in the
