In 2006 the electronic industry market supplied through the distribution grew in all over the world. In 2007 this growth continued and it was not seen in all the countries of the world and for the export Market 2007 was a bad year. In 2007 the Merger and Acquisition continued with further consolidation in the export industry, many smaller distributors outgrew the market average. The focus in Europe becoming more involved in the design of the products on behalf of the producers, even though the manufacturing will take place somewhere around the world has caused many suppliers to re think their distribution policy.. The 2008 report will show the companies that have been successful at maintaining the trade.

The Elecdyne company should look in to some important points as to survive their company as analysing the swot and as well as porter five forces the company should look in to few solutions as the company should make their products with high technology as day by day the technology changes so the company should bring in the recent trends in the technology. The company should also produce their products with good quality and as they also should see the factor of durability. They also should increase the brand value and the company also have to update with the unique selling points according to the customer satisfaction. 

The company should have to take the  Japanese electronics and information technology industries association(JIETA) help in order to go in to the Japanese market and as well as the other market because (JIETA) is mostly known all parts of the world so the company have to take this opportunity and turn it to their advantage 

The company also should look in to the sponsorship from wide range of sources like government and as well as private organisations and the company had the advantage if they join in the (JIETA) they will get many advantages as the finance part is the major one. The company should also look in to the partnership with the financial institutions. The company can also sell some shares in order to get some financial help. Regarding the license the company should take the advantage of Electronic industries association (EIA) as if the company is registered with them the company will get the license for low cost and there will be no need to increase 20% for the renewal of license 

THE THREE COUNTIRES WHICH I HAD CHOSSEN           

I have chosen the three countries based up on the labour cost, access to technology, the local market and as well as environment conditions for the foreign companies. The three countries are

1)      INDIA.

2)      SOUTH AFRICA.

3)      IRELAND.

WHY THESE THREE COUNTRIES 

These are the three countries which I choose for (ELECDYNE) to go in to the market

as these countries had good infrastructure for electronic products market and their governments are also open for direct foreign investment these three countries have wonder full labour facilities when compared with the other countries around the world and at the same time labour costs are also low. These countries had wonderful economies and as well as the place for the company to start.

If we look at the taxes these three are the better countries and we can get the license for the trade also very easily even though the world is facing the credit crunch it does

not effect these countries electronic products markets and at the same time people are also looking for some foreign technology, and at the same time the local companies are looking for some foreign collaboration so these is the right time to get in to there market. There are few draw backs as well in these countries but when compared with other countries these are not that much big. 

WHY INDIA 

      I suggest (ELECDYNE) company to go to India because of its greater infrastructure and as well as boom in the electronic industry especially in India. As the country had huge population people use lot of electronic products as if we look in to Indian culture their main entertainment is television and if we look in to the recent survey about this issue out of 100 people nearly 60 people are willing to buy television and watch it. So and at the same time if there is lot of young generation in India where they are willing to buy mp3 players. 

In India people used to watch lot of movies even though there are lot of movie theatres are there people still prefer to see their favourite movie in CD player by putting a cd.Indian government is also open for foreign companies and they are also giving support to them by offering them the place for a very cheap price and also giving some benefits for the company like 5% reduction in tax if they employ these many people from locally and at the same time they are reducing the road taxes for their transport vehicles.

Main economic aggregates of Ireland.

There is huge possibility for Elecdyne to go for joint venture in India along with the LG because LG had more market value and as well as it is looking for some foreign company and the technology as well. We can call that joint venture as LG-ELECDYNE INDIA and there is a R&d for LG from IIT Kanpur which is leading in INDIA. The LG is also having good distribution system all around the country.

CONCLUSION

This report has discussed about the opportunities for Elecdyne Company to expand its market a part from the Japan it has all the information regarding the various countries. I would like to say that India well be the better chance for Elecdyne to start up their business as it has many advantages like huge population and good infra structure and usage of electronic products are more. As India is a developing country it has all the opportunities for Elecydyne to enter in to Indian market. I suggest Elecdyne to go to India for their expansion of electronic products in order to achieve a profit for the company. 

Determine the source available to assist in analyzing data information:

Data: this is raw. Beyond its existing, there is no significance for this. For this there is no particular form.

Information: this is defined as, giving the meaning to the data by using any relational connections. In the system language it is, from the data stored in the data base the relational data base, makes the information.

Knowledge: it is defined as “information collection”.  The data in this should be meaning full.

Technology resources such as hardware and software:

• Hardware: it is the equipment uses in the system
• Software: for controlling the hardware this software instructions are used.

For any technical resources these two are the major one and even with out of these two no technical resources are available.

People resources such as employee and managers in organizations:

In any organization the employee and the mangers are basic, without employee there is no organization and vice versa. The employee means they are doing the work and they don’t know about the complete product or the end product. But the manager should know about the final product and according to that he can assign the work to the employees who are under his control. By using these resources the organization will be develop.

Methods to develop the information:

These are used to support and inform the strategic decision making. They are

DIKAR (data information knowledge action result):

This model is used to help to determine and understand the management information quality attributes. The data and information are operational significance and knowledge, action and results are belongs to the strategic significance. The data quality contains the accuracy, validity, completeness and consistency information. The information quality contains the data clarity, relevance, definition clarity, presentation, availability and timeliness information. The knowledge quality contains the information quality, prior experience, ASHEN factors, tacit knowledge and explicit knowledge. The action quality contains the timely, appropriate and clarity information. Moreover, the results quality contains the efficiency, effectiveness and consistent objectives information.

ASHEN factors:

ASHEN means artefacts, skills, heuristics, experience and natural talent

• Artefacts: means people make anything, which is processes, tools or documents in which embedded the knowledge.
• Skills: means the capabilities, which are measured and trained without ambiguity.
• Heuristics: means thumb rules. The experience result and knowledge repository are unarticulated.
• Experience: the collected success and failure experience are allows the triggered correct pattern in the correct context.
• Natural talent: many people are better in sometimes other than people and often not expect those people.

The ASHEN factors are used to assess the quality of knowledge at below points. They are

• Problem solutions
• Decisions
• Solution creation
• Learning points
• Judgment

The results and actions quality is depend upon the performance of the organizational management systems. These kinds of systems are used to improve and calculate the efficiency and effectiveness.

The SWOT analysis:

For supporting the strategic decision one of the available techniques is SWOT analysis. This is simple analysis method. This method is used widely because it is used to know about the business activity or project strengths, weakness, threats and the opportunities.

When using this SWOT analysis, the following are statement should be ensured. Those are:

• Use verifiable statement only
• The time will be specified on the factors which are most significant, for that the factors are prioritized whether they may be external or internal.
• This analysis should be done at the project or business activity level.
• In exclusivity it is not used.

The critical success factor:

In this mainly there are four types. Those are:

Industry critical success factor: this is used to know about the specific characteristics of the industry

Strategy critical factor: this is coming from the one of the business competitive strategy

Environmental critical success factor: this is coming from the changes of either technical or economical

Temporal critical success factor: this is from the changes and the needs of the internal organization.

The five key resources of the critical success factor are

• Industry
• Industry position and the competitive strategy
• Environmental factor
• Temporal factor
• Managerial position (from the individual point of view)

Model driven DSS:

From various areas such as financial model, accounting model, optimization model and the representation model the DSS is driven by the underlying model. The main emphasize of this model is accessing and the manipulation of the model when compare to the data. In the situation Analyzation this method is using the parameters and the data for assist the decision makers.  It is not data intensive usually and it also not linked with the large data base.

Data driven DSS:

The data analysis systems, file drawer systems, analysis information systems are hard by this system and the main emphasize of this is data warehouse access to the large data base manipulation, this is done for the structured data.

Data mining:

In the private and the public sectors the data mining is the main aspect. The reason for this usage is to achieve the cost at low, the research is increasing and it also increases the sales of the products. So this is used presently in many industries such as insurance, banking, retailing and medicine. Firstly it uses in the public sector; the reason for this is avoiding the waste and the fraud. But the days are passed it also uses in the program performance measuring and the improving. In the data analyzing scope and the quantity this data mining shows the significant expansion.
