... Class name Date Aditya Birla Group: Global Vision – Indian Values Aditya Birla Group (ABG) was a US28$ billion worth corporation back in 2008.

The product portfolio comprised Aluminum, Copper, Fertilizers, Textiles and Cement, Insulators, Viscose Filament Yarn, Carbon Black, Insurance, Telecommunications and Business Process Outsourcing. Over the years, the ABG approached the methods of strategic alliances and acquiring big producers, adding to the value chain of the business, from metal to downstream products. By entering an international joint venture with NGK Corporation of Japan, the company was expected to open up to global markets and provide access to the latest in product and manufacturing technology. The idea was to exit from that area of business where they couldn’t compete due to a lack of competencies and business strengths. Kumar Mangalam Birla (Chairman of the Group) introduced several organizational and management changes that focus on learning centers, young managers and organizational health surveys. Along with the Aditya Birla Sun awards, this approach resulted in healthy competition among the companies. The growth strategy in this case study is mainly based on the...

...TOPic: DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS: AN OVERVIEW AND ITS ROLE IN BUSINESS Introduction A decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based information system that supports business or organizational decision-making activities. DSSs serve the management, operations, and planning levels of an organization and help to make decisions, which may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance. Typical information that a decision support application might gather and present are: * Inventories of information assets (including legacy and relational data sources, cubes, data warehouses, and data marts), * Comparative sales figures between one period and the next, * Projected revenue figures based on product sales assumptions. Making decisions concerning complex systems (e.g., the management of organizational operations, industrial processes, or investment portfolios; the command and control of military units; or the control of nuclear power plants) often strains our cognitive capabilities. Even though individual interactions among a system's variables may be well understood, predicting how the system will react to an external manipulation such as a policy decision is often difficult. What will be, for example, the effect of introducing the third shift on a factory floor? One might expect that this will increase the plant's output by roughly 50 percent. Factors such as additional wages, machine weardown, maintenance breaks, raw material usage, supply logistics, and...

It is not just the global players like Wal-Mart, Tesco and Metro group are eying to capture a pie of this market but also the domestic corporate behemoths like Reliance, K K Modi , Aditya Birla group, and Bharti group too are at some stage of retail development. Reliance, announced that it will invest $3.4 billion to become the country's largest modern retailer by establishing a chain of 1,575 stores by March 2007. The last couple of years have been rosy for real estate developers and the retailers are finding suitable retail space in prominent locations. The industry is buoyant about growth and the early starters are in expansion mood. There is increased sophistication in the shopping pattern of consumers, which has resulted in big retail chains coming up in most metros; mini metros and towns being the next target. Consumer taste and preferences are changing leading to radical alteration in lifestyles and spending patterns which in turn is giving rise to new business opportunities.

...4,8 million €. It is the amount of money that Maurice Lévy, CEO of Publicis Groupe (3rd communication group in the world), received as part of his annual compensation in 2012 . Only a part, as stock options and other bonuses were, of course, not considered in the calculation of this impressive salary. This is just an example of one of the top compensated CEOs today in France. Are this high wages justified? This debate causes many reactions, especially in a period of difficult economic and social context in developed countries. Whereas important CEOs are able to ask themselves where to spend their next holidays, most workers remain concerned by being able to pay their bills at the end of the month. This inequality leads us to reflection. In my opinion, this inequality is proportionally unjustified. Showing the huge gap between CEOs’ and workers’ average wage wouldn’t be enough to prove the irrelevancy in today’s top executives’ salary calculation. This is why I will introduce various concepts and go more deeply in the analysis of my point of view. We should consider one of the principles usually used to justify CEOs’ compensation: the desert view. This concept emphasizes the fact that top executives deserve the money they make considering their competences, efforts and high responsibilities. It would be extremely hard to prove that a CEO sits at his position without having valuable business competences and experiences, especially as he is chosen by a board of administrators...

It has just been announced that a major world trade expo is to be held in Ho Chi Minh City. Around the World Hotels is interested in providing accommodation for some of the expected thousands of delegates. However, there is no time to build a new hotel. Around the World are considering approaching an existing hotel group to form an alliance. • What issues need to be considered when establishing an alliance in this case? Choosing the right form of governance. The benefits of cooperation versus the dangers of new competition. Managing the reputation. Staffing needs. • What form would you suggest the alliance take? Non-equity strategic alliance. Because this is a short term event and this is the easiest form of strategic alliance to form in such a short time. The company could work with another hotel group to forge a similar deal as airline code-sharing. This would allow Around the World Hotels guests to potentially book through their website, and receive the same premium guest experience in the hotels in Vietnam. The reputation of Around the World Hotels could be used to attract more guests to the hotel in Vietnam. • Outline the major challenges for Around the World Hotels in establishing the type of alliance you recommend.
