Gopal, Mohan and Shyam are three friends having their separate small
manufacturing units in an industrial estate. They are hard-working and
honest and undertake their respective production activities following the
good practices of business. They use good quality raw materials and
adopt standardised process. They fix the prices of their products with a
reasonable profit margin. But all of them are worried about the
malpractices like manufacturing sub-standard, duplicate, and defective
goods by the fellow manufacturers. Therefore, they decided to form an
organisation with a constitution of its own which is free from government
interference. This organisation would encourage consumers to strongly
protest and take action against unscrupulous, exploitative and unfair
trade practices of sellers.
State three other functions which may be performed by this organisation
in addition to those mentioned above.

One of the questions that needs to be answered in the organizing function
is ‘At what level are decisions made’ ? Decision making authority in an
organization can be pushed down to the lower levels or it may lie with the
top management. However it is not an ‘either or’ concept.
When an organization grows in size or complexity, there is a tendency
towards sharing decision making authority with the lower levels. This is
because in large organizations, employees who are closely involved with
certain operations tend to have more knowledge about them than the top
management.
An important concept of organizing function is discussed above. Identify
the concept and state any three points of its importance.

Ganesh was concerned about the sedentary lifestyle people are leading
nowadays. Their dependency on outside food is also increasing because
corporate work culture demands working till late night at offices. So, he
decided to start a restaurant, ‘Healthy Eating Point’ to provide healthy
food options to customers. After completing planning and organising

Page 10

functions, he identified the various job positions that are required to be
filled i.e. a General Manager, an Accountant, two Chefs, two boys for
serving the food in the restaurant and three boys for home delivery of
food. He decided that his father, Karan, would be the General Manager of
the restaurant. He would be paid < 50,000 per month for his services. His
father requested him to appoint his friend’s son, Prem, as an accountant
who is well qualified for this post. Ganesh agreed to this proposal.
Earlier, Prem had a business of providing unskilled workers to different
organisations from remote areas of the country. Prem took permission
from Ganesh to continue with the old business. Ganesh happily agreed
and asked him to provide five boys for serving and delivering the food.
For the appointment of the two Chefs, Ganesh approached a renowned
Hotel Management Institute and was satisfied with the Chefs provided
by the institute.
(a) Quoting the lines from the above paragraph, explain the two
sources of recruitment being used by Ganesh for filling up the
various job positions.
(b) Also, give the meaning of the function of management discussed in
the above case.

Nayar is working as a P.G.T. Commerce in a CBSE affiliated school of
Kerala. One day he was teaching about capital market in the class. He
informed the class that during 1980’s the capital market in India
witnessed a tremendous growth because of increasing participation of the
public. This ever increasing investors’ population and market
capitalisation led to a variety of malpractices on the part of the
companies, brokers, merchant bankers, investment consultants and
others involved in the securities market. These malpractices and unfair
trading practices eroded investors’ confidence and multiplied investors’
grievances. The Government of India and the stock exchanges were
helpless in redressing the investors’ problems because of lack of proper
penalty provisions in the existing legislation. In view of this the
Government of India decided to set up a regulatory body.
(a) Name the regulatory body which the Government of India decided
to set up.
(b) Also state any three objectives of the regulatory body identified in
part (a) above.

Jay is working as the Chief Executive Officer of a soft drinks company.
The company is doing its business in collaboration with a soft drinks
company of France. Jay’s friend, Swami, a teacher of Business Studies in
a reputed college was discussing the ‘Marketing’ chapter with his
students. He wanted clarity from Jay about the factors which affect the
marketing decisions. Jay explained that there were a large number of
factors affecting marketing decisions which may be divided into two
categories : (i) controllable factors, and (ii) non-controllable factors.
Jay further explained that controllable factors became marketing tools
that can be constantly shaped and reshaped by marketing managers, to
achieve marketing success.
Identify and explain the set of marketing tools that can be constantly
shaped and reshaped by marketing managers.

‘Scientific Management means knowing exactly what you want men to do
and seeing that they do it in the best and the cheapest way.’ Taylor
developed various techniques for application of Scientific Management
principles and was able to achieve a three-fold increase in productivity in
Bethlehem Steel Company, where he worked. One of the techniques helps
to determine the number of workers to be employed; frame suitable
incentive schemes and determine labour costs. Another technique
recognises those workers who are able to accomplish/exceed the fair day’s
work and is based on the premise that efficiency is the result of the joint
efforts of the managers and the workers.
Quoting the lines from the above paragraph, identify and explain the two
techniques of Scientific Management.

conducted internal as well as external audits for the same. Through
internal audit, they analysed the strengths and weaknesses of the
business across all departments. External audit focused on the
opportunities and the threats in the constantly changing business
environment. Thus, a comprehensive plan was prepared taking into

develop effective plans to achieve a consistent increase in sales has
ensured its continual growth over the past one decade.

Chintamani is the Production Manager of ‘Global India Ltd.’
manufacturing and exporting steel. During the year 2017 – 18, the
company could not meet its production targets. The Chief Executive
Officer of the company constituted a committee of experts to find out the
reasons and give its recommendation so that the production target could
be met in the future. The company analysed the production related
records and found out that there were problems due to communication.
‘Global India Ltd.’ had rigid rules and would insist on communication
through prescribed channels, which led to delays. The company also had
a number of managerial levels causing further delay and distorted
communication.
Moreover, the Production Manager, Chintamani, was using a tone that
quite often offended the sentiments of the workers. Also, Chintamani and
the workers did not believe in each other and so could not understand
each other’s messages in the original sense.
(a) Identify and give the meaning of the types of communication
barriers discussed above.
(b) Quoting lines from the above, state two communication barriers
under each of the types identified in part (a) because of which
‘Global India Ltd.’ could not meet its production targets.
(c) State any two recommendations that might have been given by the
committee to improve communication effectiveness.

‘Monisha Consumer Goods’ is a leading consumer goods chain with a
network of 46 stores primarily across Mumbai, Delhi and Pune. It was
started by Monisha Gupta in 1987. It has a large market share in
Mumbai, Delhi and Pune. Looking for an opportunity to expand, it has
decided to open a new branch in Kerala. It has to decide on what new
resources it will invest in so that it is able to earn the highest possible
return for its investors. Once the company believes that it will be able to
generate higher revenues and profits, it also has to decide on how this
project will get funded. The finance manager, Atul was told to have an
optimal capital structure by striking a balance between various sources of
getting the project funded so as to increase shareholders’ wealth. Atul,
after assessing the cash flow position of the company, evaluated the cost
of different sources of finance and compared the risk associated with each
source as well as the cost of raising funds.
(a) State the two financial decisions discussed in the above situation.
(b) Explain any two factors affecting each of the decisions that still
have to be considered by the finance manager.
