Q1. Write Short notes on the following:
(a) Value Chain Analysis.
(b) Corporate Restructuring.
Answer.
(a) “Value chain analysis (VCA) is a process where a firm identifies its primary and support activities that add value to its final product and then analyzes these activities to reduce costs or increase differentiation.”
 (b) Corporate Restructuring:
Corporate restructuring is the process of redesigning one or more aspects of a company. The process of reorganizing a company may be implemented due to a number of different factors, such as positioning the company to be more competitive, survive a currently adverse economic climate, or poise the corporation to move in an entirely new direction.
Q2. Differentiate between mission and vision of a company? Explain with examples.
Answer. A mission statement is a short sentence or paragraph used by a company to explain, in simple and concise terms, its purposes for being. These statements serve a dual purpose by helping employees to remain focused on the tasks at hand, as well as encouraging them to find innovative ways of moving towards an increasingly productive achievement of company goals.
Q3. Explain in detail Porter’s four generic strategies.
Answer. Cost leadership:
To practice cost leadership, organizations compete for the largest number of customers through price. Cost leadership works well when the goods or services are standardized. That way, the company can sell generic acceptable goods at the lowest prices. They can minimize costs to the company in order to minimize costs to the customer without decreasing profits.
Q4. Differentiate between core competence and distinctive competence.
Answer. Core competencies are those capabilities that are critical to a business achieving competitive advantage. The starting point for analyzing core competencies is recognizing that competition between businesses is as much a race for competence mastery as it is for market position and market power. Senior management cannot focus on all activities of a business and the competencies required undertaking them.
Q5. Define the term ‘industry’. List the types of industries. How do you conduct an industry analysis?
Answer. Industry is the production of an economic good or service within an economy. Manufacturing industry became a key sector of production and labor in European and North American countries during the Industrial Revolution, upsetting previous mercantile and feudal economies. This occurred through many successive rapid advances in technology, such as the production of steel and coal.
Q6. Describe the different approaches to business ethics.

-  The human-oriented approach
