Business Exposure is of vital importance in todays competitive business world as it helps the
future rising generation by giving them insight to look forward and explores the outside world.
Business exposure helps a lot to students as it provides them a new realistic and practical outlook,
gives them an opportunity to understand, explore and study the business world outside. It has a
large scope of practical knowledge rather than the theoretical knowledge; also many theoretical
concepts are cleared and easily understood by business exposure.
1. It introduces the students to the general nature and structure of source selected industries and
business organization.
2. It helps them to acquire the more practical and realistic knowledge about the working of
industries and carrying out various business activities.
3. It helps the students to understand the various different functions of the organization, industry,
like how Planning is carried out, how control is observed in what way production is undertaken,
how the orders are received, how the goods are dispatched, what is the marketing strategy, how
funds are raised etc.
4. It helps in understanding different process regarding the production, working, working schedule.
5. It directly makes the students aware of the role of different people of different position in an
organization, it tells what a managers job is, what is an supervisors job, what is laborers job, it
makes them aware of the various duties and responsibilities regarding the work at different
positions.
6. It brings awareness regarding the carrier opportunities among the students. They come to know
what kind of job are there in different types of industries, what are the requirements and skills
needed for different jobs and then start preparing for the same as they become carrier conscious.
7. Some industries require good health and hygiene, students are made aware of these
requirements. While in some industries certain safety measures are required to be taken while
working or performing certain tasks, students are made aware and conscious of these health and
safety requirements.
8. It helps the students to understand the different tools and techniques used and required in
different industries to have control on activities, human force working, production, financial funds,
etc.
9. It gives an opportunity to explore the industrial world and to understand more realistic and
practical approach rather than only studying from books.
10. It shows how disparity is kept aside and work is done to achieve the common objectives of the
organization.
1.1.3
With application software, an organization can merge all these individual operations and create a
workflow. This would give the baseline of how the information will be shared within a system .
Any standard ERP can take care of these operations.
It is based on a requirement given by the Customer hence the software must take care of
Customer management . All information related to a customer is stored in the system
1.1.5
Business Exposure Limitation is a risk management technique of placing limits on risk exposures
or risk management metrics to achieve strategic and or operational objectives
a. Business Exposure limitations can specify the maximum loss a risk bearing entity is willing to
take
From some event (s) . The aim is to limit the cost of the specific event
b. Business Exposure limitations may vary by level of management to ensure decisions are made at
the appropriate level of management and that the overall exposure of the company is limited.
c. Business Exposure limitations can reduce the expected cost of risk by limiting the exposure of a
specific type of risk to a percentage of the total risk exposure .This would ensure total exposure is
a combination of specific exposure that are not 100% correlated.
d. Business Exposure limitations can reduce the variance in the expected cost of risk by limiting
the exposure in any specific instance of a particular type of risk . By limiting any specific instance,
it is hoped the total exposure in a particular type of risk will result from more instances , thus
taking advantage of the law of large numbers to reduce variance.
e. Business Exposure Limitations can be used in contractual arrangements to describe how risk
will be shared between two or more parties.
f. Business Exposure Limitations can be used in combination with another risk management metric
by placing a floor and or cap on that risk management metric.
g. Business Exposure risk limitation can be used as part a flexible pricing process by adjusting ,
prices up (or down ) as the difference between the exposure limitation and the current exposure
decreases ( increases ) . Price will be adjusted based on whether the quantity represented by the
exposure limitation is ample or scarce.
h. Business Exposure limitations do not have to be monetary . Exposure limitations can also be
used to limit operational risk or achieve operational objectives .
1.2 METHODOLOGY=
1.2.1 Concept Methodology
Concept Methodology has a distinct business-driven approach to real estate development. We first
apply a systematic analysis of all relevant factors. This includes site analysis (incl. topography,
transportation and access), market analysis (catchment areas, visitor profiling, etc), cultural
research, macro-economic drivers (e.g. employment generation), feasibility, environmental
analysis and ecological footprint assessment (resource usage).
A rigorous analysis of these factors provides a first understanding of the type of development (e.g.
luxury vs. family, leisure vs. commercial zone, daytime vs. evening capacity) and synergies
between them. Methodology proprietary development models then allow simulating a preliminary
usage mix (i.e. how many apartments of type x, how many commercial units of type y) as well as
various resulting parameters ( power and utility needs,CO2 and other impacts, etc).
Structured client meetings then generate the development strategy and concept. Based on these
decision, the concept definition process continues with tailoring of the development ( usage mix ,
key features, infrastructure, etc ) and optimization in terms of investor return , customer experience
and sustainability performance. In parallel, and based on the architect briefing, the creative design
and master planning process provides a series of visual results.
In other words, we first define what should be built and only then how it is designed.
Following additional client interaction, the team delivers detailed project feasibility calculations
(incl. budget and financial projections) as well as implementation, infrastructure and business
planning. In iterative cycles, the concept and program elements are adapted and refined throughout
the planning process.
Why is this important? In todays increasingly competitive markets, investors need to get the most
out of their property over the entire project lifecycle. Careful economic planning at early stages
can save millions in subsequent implementation costs and in investor returns and sustainability
performance. Methodology proprietary models allow optimization of complex projects throughout
the entire development lifecycle. This approach results in maximum operating performance with
minimized investment parameters.
Tools and techniques of primary data used in the report are as follows:
1.2.5
Observation method
The observation method involves human or mechanical observation of what people actually do or
what events take place during a buying or consumption situation. Information is collected by
observing process at work. The following are a few situations:1. Service stations-pose as a customer, go to a service station and observe.
2. To evaluate the effectiveness of display of Dunlop Pillow cushions-In a departmental store,
observer notes: a) How many pass by,, b) How many stopped to look at the display,, c)
How many decide to buy .
3. Super Market-Which is the best location in the shelf? Hidden cameras are used.
4. To determine typical sales arrangement and find out sales enthusiasm shown by various
salesmen-Normally this is done by an investigator using a concealed tape-recorder.
3. Internal Experts- These are people who are heading the various departments. They can give
an idea of how a particular thing is working
4. Miscellaneous Reports- These are what information you are getting from operational
reports.
