3. What is planning
Selecting missions and objectives as well
as the actions to achieve them, which
requires decision- making, that is,
choosing a course of action from among
alternatives.
4. Why such cost benefit analysis??
NEED = FELT DEPRIVATION
Although income was good and spending habits were high
there was a strong shortage of a strong leathered footwear
for the working class.
Demand was stronger because:
• Working in the harsh and dangerous natural conditions made
them require a resillient footwear at any cost.
• They had to skip a day’s work to buy a pair of footwear that
didn’t even last long
5. Types of planning
Planning in an organisational level can be
broadly categorised into three types.
They are:
—Top- down Planning
—Mixed Centralized Approach
—Decentralized Approach
6. TOP- DOWN PLANNING
First stated by Douglas Mc.Gregor in the
1960’s
The top level managers set the goals of an
organization.
The employees are expected to work on the
basis of these goals and targets set by the
higher authority.
Employees cannot be innovative and
imaginative as they are restricted.
7. MIXED CENTRALIZED APPROACH
After laying down the goals and objectives by
the top management, these goals are generally
targeted to the specific departments.
For example: R&D dept. given the target of
designing, the finance dept. for setting up the
budget etc.
After these jobs are assigned then a proper
planning is formulated.
8. DECENTRALIZED APPROACH
Grass-root planning approach as the objectives
and goals are set at the basic functional level
by each individual ( keeping in mind the
constraints).
After the plans at the lowermost level are met
it rises up to the next level. For eg. from the
branch level to the zonal level and so on.
Entirely different from the top down approach
as it keeps in mind an individual’s ability to
innovate.
10. Diversification
An organization that introduces new products into
new markets has chosen a strategy of
diversification. When companies have no previous
industry nor market experience this strategy is called
Unrelated diversification. Related diversification
describes how companies stay in a market with which
they have some familiarity.

11. Risks involved in Diversification
Diversification is the riskiest of the
four strategies presented in the
Ansoff matrix and requires the most
careful investigation. Going into an
unknown market with an unfamiliar
product offering means a lack of
experience in the new skills and
techniques required.

13. A segmentation strategy : the right products to the right individuals
Identification of the demand pattern. ( as shown in the table below)
Keeping this in mind and also the limitations and constraints associated
with each segment we start to prepare a Cost Benefit Analysis with each
feasible alternatives.
