After studying Entrepreneurship in Class XII, Neel completed a
baking course and started a bakery, 'Cakes and Bakes'. He set a
target of earning a modest $\displaystyle 10$% return on investment in the first year.
As he was supplying healthy bakery products, the demand kept
increasing. 'Cakes and Bakes' became a famous bakery in a year. He
now wanted to develop a plan to define the direction and scope of
'Cakes and Bakes' for the long run. He made a marketing plan to decide if he could charge higher price to improve his return on
investment, how to advertise the products, etc.
Quoting lines from the above paragraph, identify and explain two
types of plans discussed in the above case.
Marking-scheme solution
Two types of plans are:
(i)
Objective
‘He set a target of earning a modest $\displaystyle 10$% return on investment in the first
year.’
An objective is the end which the management seeks to achieve.
An objective need to be expressed in specific terms and is to be achieved
within a given time period
(ii)
Strategy
‘He now wanted to develop a plan to define the direction and scope of
‘Cakes and Bakes’ for the long run.’
A strategy is a comprehensive plan for accomplishing an organisation’s
objectives. Whenever a strategy is formulated, the business environment
needs to be taken into consideration.
