Portfolio Project IS/IT Case Study

The portfolio project for ISM 6026 is to develop a case study (similar to what we have been doing in class) and critique the case. The portfolio project will consist of two parts: part one is the case study narrative itself; part two is your analysis of the facts of the case.

Approximate length should be about 4000-5000 words (e.g., about 16-20 typed pages) for the case study narrative itself (e.g., Part I of your project). This length is exclusive of the title page, tables of contents, any reference pages, and transcripts of interviews. The case study must be a thorough and rigorous study of the use (or lack thereof) of information systems in an organization.

Your first step in developing the narrative description of your case project is to select your target organization and secure their cooperation. I suggest you offer to provide the organization a copy of your case study analysis and critique as an incentive to allowing you access to the organization: rather like getting a semester consultant for the price of their time. Your target organization should be of sufficient size (i.e., number of employees and dollar volume) that justifies a case study analysis of their information system/technology activities.

Hint: that means your cousin’s one person, home mailing operation is not a satisfactory target organization; nor should you personally be anything other than a passive participant in the case study activities. If you choose an organization with which you are, or were, affiliated, then you may not have been a participant in the decision processes involved in your case study. Further, you must provide sufficient data from your interviews and your references to justify the material in your case study. That means you cannot just make up the details of the case based solely, or even significantly, based on your own recollections.

Second, you must begin to reconstruct the scenario of the organization and its actions. This means searching for information on the organization and the competitive environment in which it operates. For example, if you are writing on the introduction of a new customer relationship management system for a brokerage firm, you would need background material on CRM, SEC constraints, customer demands, and desires, etc.

Third, you must conduct interviews with all the relevant personnel in the organization. I would expect that to include a minimum of three people. You want to make sure that your description of the organization and its environment, problems, opportunities, and actions is accurate and not just the biased impressions of one or two individuals.

An attachment to your case study write up should be the interviewquestions (structured or unstructured) you asked each person in the organization and a transcript of their responses. This transcript may be edited for brevity, but should include all relevant responses.

When you are finished with your fact finding, data digging, and interviewing, you should write a narrative description of the information you collected (e.g., Part I of your portfolio project). Remember, this is 16-20 pages in length, not including title page and table of contents. You might use the following as a very rough general guideline for some of the sections you could include in your case narrative. Pick the writing style manual with which you are most comfortable. Opening Paragraph: emphatically state the situation and any problems. Background/Context for the firm; the case participants; the industry Situational description.

portfolio project /issue narrative – this should be the majority (> 60%) of Part I Conclusion including any questions The narrative should succinctly but completely (avoid unnecessary detail) describe the organizational environment (e.g., the context), the personnel involved, the policies and procedures involved, and the actions performed (this assumes there is some question or controversy involved) and the reasoning for same. The case study narrative portion of your project should be similar in length, content, and detail to the case studies used in class.

For the second part (so indicated clearly and distinctly by headings and in your table of contents) of your portfolio project after you have completed your case study narrative, you should analyze and critique the situation and any decisions involved in the systems project described in part one of your project.

The length should be similar to the length of the other case analyses you have written for this course. Remember, this case study should show the knowledge you gained through this course and others you have taken, plus any relevant experiential knowledge. You should make sure to ground your analysis in the material from the course (e.g., the textbook, readings, lectures, etc.) This project is worth 40% of your grade in this course. Please put the effort into the case that is reflective of that fact and shows what you have learned.

Should it be necessary to return your portfolio project for corrections of any type, there will be a 15% reduction in your portfolio project grade. This applies for each time your project is returned. However, your grade will be recorded as an “I” until such time as you complete your portfolio project. The MBA program has a requirement that the minimum grade allowed for a portfolio project is a 70 for the student to graduate. See the ISM 6026 portfolio project grading rubric for more details as to the expected grading items.

Role of Joint Ventures in Profitability Strategies

From this case study, we can understand the Importance of Joint Ventures for two different countries to keep their brand reputation and earn profits rather than competing in line with their business objectives.

Abstract

The logistics operations in India is gearing up in India due to many reasons like FDI, Increase in Manufacturing inline with Make in India Initiatives etc., which has created a tremendous demand for trucks, tippers with wide range of capacities, models etc., In this case study Eicher which is an Indian Company based out of Gurgaon which has a strategic alliance with Swedish based truck manufacturer Volvo in capturing business demand in India with technological and strategically aspects by protecting their individual business objectives and profitability getting ahead of competition.

Introduction:

Objectives of the case study:

To understand the Logistics & Supply Chain Management Industry trend in India.

How Indian companies are trying to come up with the Increasing demand in line with increasing the market share.

How strategically the foreign companies are entering into Indian markets either Individually or in association with Indian companies.

The Association of Eiche and Volvo (VE Commercial vehicles) in meeting the demand of trucks in India and how it leads to mutual benefits.

Need of the Study:

Any business if it has to grow irrespective of Industry or the nation is purely based on the trends in the industry and increase in economy of the particular country/nation. Indian GDP, Per Capita Income is increasing as the Industrialization is growing as a part of Make in India or the Government initiatives like foreign policy, Industrial Policy, Foreign Direct Investment etc., lead to tremendous change and demand in Indian Supply Chain, Warehouse Management, Logistics and allied  segments and Industries and Heavy and Normal commercial Vehicles and one of the key components in transportation etc.,  Based on above mentioned reasons I felt there is need and because of my interest I have selected this case study for assessment on how Volvo has streamlined their business in India after series of concerns, issues and damages etc.,

The scope of the Study:

The Scope of the study is confined to Eicher which is one of the leading truck manufacturers in India and the Volvo which is a Swedish truck manufacturing company and the scopes here is further confined to the trends in the market and their business growth etc., which will not speak about the key strategies and decision-making, key points in alliance and the financials.

Limitations:

The major limitation is the data availability. The major data analysis is purely based on the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats of Volvo and Eicher inline of their association to tap Indian Market as per increasing demand.  The financials, top line, bottom line, legal terminologies, etc, were not discussed or not evaluated which is a limitation while arriving for the conclusion and writing suggestions and recommendations. The time is one more constraint along with the getting the data from companies associates and even from the market.

Research Methodology:

The case taken in this study is how Volvo has resolved its issues while entering into Indian market which came with a plan of penetrating into the Indian market and the methodology used in this study is:

Primary data & Secondary data was collected from the websites of the Volvo & Eicher Companies. The merging business-related data is been collected from different articles and the theoretical part of data pertaining to business metrics has been collected from academic and other books. The SWOT analysis was the technique used in this case study to arrive at a conclusion and to give suggestions and recommendations.

Data Analysis & Interpretation:

SWOT Analysis & PESTLE Analysis:

Strengths:

Eicher:

Eicher is an Indian Company which has its presence in the automobile business since 1948 which entered into Heavy trucks business in 1986 with vast experience on Market.

Infrastructure facilities:  Recently Eicher has built world-class facility at Gurgaon which is built on green concepts where there are maximum resources which are renewable. It’s based on Mantra “Maximum utilization of available resources”

Availability of resources: There is the availability of wide range of resources like Manpower, Infrastructure, Government subsidies etc., which will help them to expand.

Volvo:

Financially Strong: Volvo has Invested Rs.1083 Crore in India on VECV (Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles) which has given a boost to Eicher to get set and go.

Technology: It took 7 years for Eicher to build a truck and the cost Implication is Rs 25 Crore after association with Volvo Eicher has Managed to produce trucks with the very low process. The technology and changing demands and needs of the market helped Eicher and Volvo to capture the market. The vehicles from 6 ton capacity to 40 ton capacity with the latest technology were made to cater the needs of the Industry in India.

Weakness:

Eicher:

Technology: Eicher has got experience in service and retail model business of Automobile and it has no R & D facility and even the latest technology to build high-end commercial vehicles.

Expansion: The commercial truck manufacturing and selling business are viable only if the business is carried out in more than one country whereas Eicher don’t have operations other than India.

Financial: Eicher cannot afford to build high-end trucks and sell them within India and even expanding business across the horizons which is an obstructive aspect of Eicher.

Volvo:

They don’t have an understanding of the needs of the logistics, warehousing, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, power etc. in India which is a demand.

The cost Implications will be more if they have to start from scratch.

The government policies on FDI & may change because it is a political area and the Investment etc., will go on the toss.

Opportunities:

Eicher:

Eicher can improve technologically as they are associated with world No. 2 truck manufacturer Volvo and the strategies and the mode of operandi can also be Improvised.

Eicher can expand its business in other parts of the world as they have expertise in maintaining retail business in Automobile Industry along with service centers.

Volvo:

Volvo can get exposure and expertise in Indian Market.

Volvo can sell its vehicles like trucks and buses in India with low cost in India.

It can have trusted service centers in India as it is in association with Eicher.

Threats:

Eicher:

If Volvo gets market leader position in India it will have a wide range of opportunities and which may affect the market presence of Eicher.

As Volvo is Investing on Eicher in terms of technology, etc. and Eicher is providing only Infrastructure facility may lead to misperceptions.

Volvo:

Eicher can adopt the technology, mode of operandi etc., from Volvo and can Start its own manufacturing and produce high-end commercial vehicles at low cost.

Volvo has already Invested Rs. 1083 Crore in India as a part of Joint Venture / Strategic Alliance and if anything goes wrong there may be so many legal consequences which will lead to stake of Brand Reputation etc.,

PESTLE Analysis:

Political:

The Political stability and if the government is firm on its policy on foreign direct investment etc. will give a positive wave to this alliance.

The legalities and the inconsistency in Politics and the governments at the state level and central level may lead to unnecessary obligations.

Economical:

As the economy, GDP & Per Capita Income grows the earning capacity Increases which lead to business transactions at various levels which is a boost to Industry.

Social:

The people in India are emotional and sentimental and as Volvo is a foreign company it always has to ensure that the emotion of Indians is been taken care of Business at various levels like Promotional activities, designing the product etc.

Technological:

Volvo may be very strong in Technology but the Roads and Infrastructure challenge any technology which means the technology has to be customized as per the requirements and Infrastructure of India and the locations.

Legal:

The constitution of Indian and the legal framework of India is a typical framework which will give results often after postmortem of the issue.

Volvo & Eicher has to focus more on a legal framework which has to be in long-term relationship in line with their respective business needs and objectives.

Environmental:

The Eicher Plant at Gurgaon is strategically located where the climatically it is a cool place and the chance of natural calamities are low. The connectivity to different parts of the country and logistically to the ports and other means of transport is good.

Findings:

Swedish based company Volvo is the second largest manufacturer of trucks in the world after Daimler which is from Germany has tied up with Indian truck manufacturer Eicher to expand their Business in India by Investing Rs. 1083 Crore which is equal to 50% share.

Volvo has contributed and brought their advances technology in Manufacturing, Warehousing, Retail and after-sales service in Eicher in India.

Volvo is clear in Expanding its business India and on the other hand, Eicher is keen on and working towards expanding its business through exports to other nations keeping India as a base.

VECV Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles has Invested Rs. 1300 Crore on New facility which is been set up in Pithanpur, Madhya Pradesh which has got the capacity of making 100000 Engines/ Year out of which the target is to export 30% of the engines to Europe. The VEVC has also Invested Rs. 1200 Crore on Body Shop plant to make closed body trucks.

The growth rate of VEVC is consistent by recording 27 % growth every year. The VEVC has crossed the turnover of Rs. 5443 Crore with a cash surplus of Rs. 700 Crore recording net profit of Rs. 366 Crore.

The exports of 4% were recorded for neighboring countries like Srilanka, Nepal, Bangladesh & Bhutan whereas 12% exports were to Southeast Asia, West Asia & Africa.

Conclusion & Recommendations:

Joint venture will always have tricky issues as there will be an alliance of two businesses with two philosophies. VEVC has to concentrate more on Management principles: Convergence, Complementaries, Compatability, and the Commitment. Now VEVC stood as 5th Largest commercial Vehicle manufacturer at the Global level and they have to strive hard to keep this alliance alive and expand strategically t other locations as they have reached only 50% of the targeted exports.

  • Marketing Executives were not able to reach targets as it was a Herculean task for them to enter into company with out an appointment and they can’t get an appointment unless they know anyone in that company.
  • The business is exclusively into HR related services, it is not that easy to describe the product and the services to HRs of the company by Marketing executives.
  • Many of the educational institutes were reluctant and they have not agreed that there is a gap between academics and the industry needs.
  • They were successful and they got to break even business but the strategy planned earlier got modified as per the challenges and they took things under control.

Critics:

  1. 30 Field Marketing executives, 20 Back end team and they will work on the same agenda which will take things for loss as 2 – 3 associates contact the same customer and if the deal close and to whose basket it has to go????
  2. Taking HR services brand to corporates and their door steps by executives might not be the strategy, in fact, it will defame the brand.
  3. Spending money on events and funding management fests, how can we measure the brand penetrating and the revenue generated through this strategy.

Recommendations: 

Rather than taking the brand in a massive and aggressive way, they can focus on below-mentioned strategies:

Getting the Contact details of HRs/Business Heads through:

  1. The HR Name and contact numbers from Job Portals adds posted by companies in different websites, paper ads etc.,
  2. Bank executives who give salary accounts to new joiners of companies.
  3. Telecom: SIM cards providers who deal with corporate clients etc.,

If they would have invested money, time in above-mentioned strategy etc., they would have got the exact contact person name and the contact details based on which the target for the tele caller is to fix an appointment with the concerned person and the  responsibility of the marketing executive to close the deal as per the fixed appointment. In this strategy, we can clearly see the performance. The phase may be slow but we can get an exact desired result. It will definitely take times but it will work out.

MBA Project on Working Capital Management

INTRODUCTION

Many finance managers, who are quite at home and competent in dealing with long term decisions, such as capital investments experience difficulties when they have to scout for funds to meet the day to day working needs. With bank finance getting increasingly scare, regulated and expensive the emphasis has shifted to closer attention to internal generation of funds and the development of the enterprises ability to raise funds in the market.

WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND POLICY

Working capital can be defined as the amount at funds, which a Company must have to finance tits day-to-day operations. It can also be regarded as that proportion of the companies’ total capital, which is employed in “current liabilities” which are short term assets that are normally expected to get converted into cash within a year. Current liabilities are short term liabilities maturing for the payment within a short period say one year, and they partly support the investment in current assets. In other words they serve as a source of working capital.

Net working capital is defined as the difference between current assets And current liabilities, and represents the extent to which current assets are financed by long-term funds.

Working capital management is the process of administration of current assets and current liabilities within the policy guidelines of the company.

Working capital policy is concerned with basic policy decisions regarding. The target levels each category of current assets.

The methods of financing the current assets

Current assets in many cases constitute more than half of the total Assets employed In business and therefore, it is essential to evolve an appropriate working capital policy to suit the specific needs of the firm an manage its working capital accordingly. Current liabilities that are specifically financing current assets come under the preview of working capital policy.

These are distinct from current liabilities which are consequences of past long term financing decisions, such as current maturates of long term debt or those in nature of temporary financing of capital projects which will be subsequently funded by long term sources off finance.

The aim in working capital management and policy is to maintain a proper balance between the magnitude of working capital and the general scale of operations of the company and to determine, with reference therefore, the appropriate levels of components of current assets to be maintained and the pattern of financing them.

IMPORTANCE OF WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The importance of working capital management can be. Traced to the following main considerations.

a) Current assets constitute the dominant segment of the total assets employed in most business and, therefore, require more intense and careful managerial attention.

b) The investment in current assets and level of current liabilities are very sensitive to changes in sale and the funds requirements shifts rapidly, demanding quick short-term decisions to sustain smooth operations.

C) Through profitability and proper selection of investments are essential for the long fun prosperity of the business, its short-term survival depends on its liquidity or ability to meet short-term obligations fully and promptly. The precondition for liquidity is efficient management of the elements of working capital and the ability to raise sufficient short and long-term finance. The finance managers of companies will have to devote considerable time and energy in arranging short term financing obtaining favorable credit terms from the suppliers of goods and services, deciding on credit policies for credit sales, keeping n chech on the funds blocked in inventories and monitoring and directing the movement of cash in the business.
