Q. 1. What is the fundamental management problem.

Answer:The fundamental problem in management is that the world is uncertain, and people hate dealing with uncertainty.The fundamental problem is that programming languages package management is decentralized.

This decentralization starts with the central premise of a package manager: that is, to install software and libraries that would otherwise not be locally available. Even with an idealized, centralized distribution curating the packages,





Q. 2. List out alternative courses of action

Answer:Given the possible courses of action, we now need to decide which will be carried forward for action. Creativity is often thought of as the divergent activity of coming up with good ideas, but equally important is converging back in as we select the ideas that will be used.

Q. 2. Was the incentive scheme wrong in any way?

Answer: We welcome Doshi’s well-balanced analysis of the priority review voucher (PRV), prompted by the licensure of miltefosine in the USA. It raises interesting general issues about incentivising innovation for products to address diseases that would otherwise be neglected due to market failure. This includes diseases which are rare in high-income countries, yet highly prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, and those that affect fractions of societies who cannot afford to pay the prices that would make these drugs attractive for industry.

The problem is hugely complex and there is no obvio





Case study -3 (25 marks)


Q. 1. Analyze the incidence

Answer: Amit, a Chief Manager of Spark- leading departmental stores at Nagpur, has attended a seminar on Japanese Management System. He was highly impressed by the innovative and democratic approach of the system. He decided to go for Japanese System by introducing initially a few measures in the stores.

Mr. Rajesh is his close rival, who feels that he has the right







Q. 2. Identify the issues, problems involved in this scheme

Answer: The culture of Japanese management that is often portrayed in Western media is generally limited to Japan's large corporations. These flagships of the Japanese economy provide their workers with excellent salaries, secure employment, and working conditions. These companies and their employees are the business elite of Japan. Though not as much for the new generation, a career with such a company is the dream of many young people in Japan, but only a select few attain these jobs. Qualification for corporate employment is limited to the few who graduate from the top thirty colleges and universities in Japan.




Q. 3. List out the facts

Answer: Japanese management emphasises the need for information flow from the bottom of the company to the top. This results in senior management having a largely supervisory rather than 'hands-on' approach. As a result, it has been noted that policy is often originated at the middle-levels of a company before being passed upwards for ratification. The strength of this approach is obviously that those tasked with the implementation of decisions have been actively involved in the shaping of policy.  The higher a Japanese manager rises within an organisation, the more important it is that he appears unassuming and




Q. 4. List the critical problems demanding immediate attention

Answer: Japan began focusing on serious quality efforts. Japanese teams went abroad to visit foreign countries to learn how other countries managed quality, and they invited foreign experts to lecture in Japan on quality management. Two of these foreign experts were Americans W. Edward Deming and Joseph Juran. They each had a profound influence on Japanese quality processes, encouraging quality and design, built in, and zero defect programs. It took twenty years of concerted effort to revamp Japan's industrial system. The strategies used involved high-level managers as leaders, all levels and functions were trained




Q. 5. Was Mr. Amit right in scrapping the scheme?

Answer: Japanese management should know this better because of their preserved institutional memory of the lessons learnt from the evolution of POTS, PANS and SANs. Server, network, storage, telecommunications and software expertise is preserved in the Japanese institutions.  On the other hand, in the US, the dismantling of large R&D labs such as the Bell Labs, reduced government R&D, the demise of companies like US WEST and SUN, and the emphasis on startups to create innovation (with the disadvantage of starting from

Q. 3. Observe any newspaper advertisement of any consumer durable company. What is the target audience and what are benefits of choosing newspaper for advertisement.

If you’re selling a hair product, an ad placed in a fashion or hairstyling magazine will attract potential consumers who are looking for just this type of product.
