Business Strategy
A business strategy is the means by which it sets out to achieve its desired ends
(objectives). It can simply be described as a long-term business planning.
Typically a business strategy will cover a period of about 3-5 years (sometimes
even longer).
A business strategy is concerned with major resource issues e.g. raising the
finance to build a new factory or plant. Strategies are also concerned with deciding
on what products to allocate major resources.
Strategies are concerned with the scope of a business' activities i.e. what and
where they produce.
Two main categories of strategies can be identified:
1. Generic (general) strategies, and
2. Competitive strategies.
The main types of generic strategies that organisations can pursue are:
1. Growth i.e. the expansion of the company to purchase new assets, including
new businesses, and to develop new products. The Inland Revenue has
expanded from being just a tax collector, to other functions such as collecting
student loan repayments and paying tax credits.
2. Internationalization/globalization i.e. moving operations into more and more
countries.
3. Retrenchment involves cutting back to focus on your best lines. The Americans
refer to this as 'sticking to the knitting'.
Chapter 2
Description of Venture
The business definition framework by Derek F. Abell proposes that a business can
be defined by using three dimensions: customer groups (who we're going to
serve), customer needs (what customer need we're attempting to meet), and
technology or distinctive competencies (how we're going to meet that need). This
approach strongly stresses understanding customers and not on an industry and
its products or services. Based on these three dimensions, Abell's competitive
strategy classification scheme proposed that a business could be defined by its
competitive scope (broad or narrow) and by the extent of competitive
differentiation of its product/service offerings.
Page | 1
Based on the Abells framework we have defined our business by answering the
three core questions-
Answer:
Our prime customers are the poor people who live bottom of the pyramid. In our
surveys and observations, we have seen that they have many problems around
themselves and clothing is one of them. For their everyday lives they need several
things like clothes, papers, tableware, cup, glass, napkins, tissue papers etc. In
fact they need all of them in a lower cost. As our customers income level is lower
than the average, we will try to provide them their daily products at a reasonable
price.
Apart from that, we will also serve in the mass market for the common people
where we will have fashionable jeans, shirts, jackets, shoes and winter wears. We
will charge a premium price for those premium products.
Answer:
As most of our prime customers live below the poverty line, their major need is
cheap and durable products. We have seen that they have many problems around
themselves and clothing is one of them. For their everyday lives they need several
things like clothes, papers, tableware, cup, glass, napkins, tissue papers etc. In
fact they need all of them in a lower cost. As our customers income level is lower
than the average, their need is very small. All they want is to save some money
from the daily expenses. Our venture will help them to get those products along
with some savings.
Answer:
We will create superior customer value providing good quality products. As we use
a raw material called Bagasse, the fibrous matter that remains after sugarcane or
sorghum stalks are crushed to extract their juice, we will have the cost leadership.
Page | 2
We can produce those products at a minimum cost. It can be a relief for those
poor people. As we have the cost leadership, we will be able to reduce the retail
price and make them available and to the reach of the poor people. So it is
feasible and economically sustainable and we will be able to get the traditional
market as well. Our products are environmentally friendly. So there is no risk
factors involved.

Office Equipment and Personnel
We will buy a land in Thakurgaon and establish our main industry there. Over
there,, sugar fiber is available at a large scale from local sugar mill. We will
establish a manufacturing unit covering 14 Katha

4.4 Transport
We will hire 2 Microbus and 2 vans to transport our employees and carrying raw

other official use. The vans will be used to carry the Bagasse from nearby sugar
mills. All of those transports will be leased.
4.5 Personnel
We will have around 50 workers at the beginning and around 12 officials. Workers
will be appointed considering their merit and skill and local workers will get the
preference. We will try to have at least 10 experienced workers who can train
others for a short period of time. On the other hand we will need some officials to
run the operation starting from the floor supervisor to the managers. We will need
marketing, sales, finance, production, accounting and HR personnel to run the
organization. We will also need 5-6 security guards as well.
This is a Type I social business company. The business will be primarily financed
by venture capitalists (hypothetical).The name and designation are:

Industry Life Cycle
Industry Life Cycle refers to a concept relating to the different stages an industry
will go through, from the first product entry to its eventual decline. There are
typically four stages in the industry lifecycle. They are defined as:
Fragmentation is the first stage of the new industry. This is the stage when the
new industry develops the business. At this stage, the new industry normally
arises when an entrepreneur overcomes the twin problems of innovation and
invention, and works out how to bring the new products or services into the
market. Product innovation declines, process innovation begins and a "dominant
design" will arrive.
Growth is the second stage of the industry lifecycle. It is the stage at which a new
industry emerges. During this stage, competitors start to realize business
opportunities in the emerging industry. The value of the industry also quickly rises.
Economies of scale are achieved, forcing smaller players to be acquired or exit
altogether. Barriers to entry become very high, as large-scale consolidation
occurs.
Maturity is the third stage in the industry lifecycle. Maturity is a stage at which the
efficiencies of the dominant business model give these organizations competitive
advantage over competition. The competition in the industry is rather aggressive
because there are many competitors and product substitutes. Price, competition,
Page | 9
and cooperation take on a complex form. Some companies may shift some of the
production overseas in order to gain competitive advantage. Growth is no longer
the main focus; market share and cash flow become the primary goals of the
companies left in the space.
Decline is the final stage of the industry lifecycle. Decline is a stage during which a
war of slow destruction between businesses may develop and those with heavy
bureaucracies may fail. In addition, the demand in the market may be fully
satisfied or suppliers may be running out. In the stage of decline, some companies
may leave the industry if there is no demand for the products or services they
provide, or they may develop new products or services that meet the demand in
the market. In such cases, this will create a new industry.
Table 2
Now, analyzing the industry, we have come to conclusion that the industry in is still
in its introduction stage or right at beginning of the growth stage. Currently,
competition is not so high. In Bangladesh there are not any cloths, and tissue
producers in the market who is for social business. As it is a social business we
have not got any competitor though it will increase in near future. Capital intensity
Page | 10
is also moderate as well. Economies of service differentiation can be achieved in
this stage. Currently, people are interested to join in social business. They are
coming with innovative ideas. More & more companies are trying to come up with
something. So, there is an opportunity for grabbing a large share in this market if
planned & promoted effectively.
In Bangladesh there are no social businesses regarding the sugar fiber can. As we
produce cloths, bed cover and tissues and other materials, our main competitor
will be the company of every single product. But as we are doing social business,
our organizational motive is different. We are not for profit maximization purpose.
But while selling the products we have to consider how other profit maximization
companies are setting up their prices. We have to set much less price than them.
Though all of them are doing business for profit maximization, as a new company
we can consider themselves as our competitors because we are also making
profit. But as time goes by, we can easily establish a monopoly in the social
business market.
Chapter 6
Marketing Strategy
In our market definition we included all the poor people of Bangladesh who has
the least chance to use our product. Slum people, Village people, rural areas,
Garments workers, are our main target customer. In Bangladesh we can see
different income people. But we have selected 5 income level people from the
bottom of income level
Upper class
Page | 11
Upper Middle class
Middle class
Lower Middle class
Lower class
To help them to make their living standard better is our main purpose through
providing quality product in cheap price. Slum people are our main customer.
Because their living standard is below the poverty line, they are not conscious
about the modern life. They do not have quality cloths or good sanitation system.
As we are producing tissue we want to make them used to with toilet tissue. We
have also targeted poor businessmen who can buy plastic container from us for
their business purpose like chotpoti seller, biriyani seller etc.
There are different people who can take our products. They are:
Slum areas
Rural areas
Village areas
This is one of the most practical and easily identifiable criteria. It can also be good
rough indicator of the potential business for a company. However, it needs to be
combined with other factors to draw a realistic picture.
Companies with less than 50 employees
Companies with 50 200 employees
Companies with over 200 employees.

PESTEL Analysis
Page | 13
Peoples buying power in our country is increasing day by day. People
are becoming more techno friendly and laid back. So current market trend
is very good for this business & this trend will continue at least 5-6 years.
After that, with the change of time, market pattern may also change.
Services value added (annual % growth) in Bangladesh was reported at
6.49 in 2008, according to the World Bank. Annual growth rate for value
added in services based on constant local currency. Aggregates are
based on constant 2000 U.S. dollars. Services correspond to ISIC
divisions 50-99. They include value added in wholesale and retail trade in
hotels and restaurants, transport, and government, financial, professional,
and personal services such as education, health care, and real estate
services. Also included are imputed bank service charges, import duties,
and any statistical discrepancies noted by national compilers as well as
discrepancies arising from rescaling. But the IT sector is still pretty much
relaxed.
lifestyle trends:
Bangladesh is a country where the social principles are strictly followed and
the entire social structure is driven by norms. But, the Bangladeshi people
are not stubborn in terms of social culture; rather they humbly accept things
which are new and socially accepted. The Bangladeshi people are also
very much social and they have the urge to know what is happening
around. Therefore, there is a potential demand for any business related to
social cause
Demographics:
Bangladesh is ethnically homogeneous. Indeed, its name derives from the
Bengali ethno-linguistic group, which comprises 98% of the population. In
Page | 14
2009 the population was estimated at 156 million. Religiously, about 90% of
Bangladeshis are Muslims and the remainder is mostly Hindus.
Consumer views:
In Bangladesh poor people look for cheap product with highest quality they
can get. Whenever there is product, with their expectation is welcomed by
people.
Chapter 8
Porter's Five Forces Analysis
Porter's five forces is a framework for the industry analysis and business strategy
development developed by Michael E. Porter of Harvard Business School in 1979.
It draws upon Industrial Organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that
determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market.
There are high possibilities of new entrants to enter this service sector as it is an
attractive area for investment for corporate people. If any other new social
business idea come to the market and do their positioning successfully, then our
company may loss its attractiveness. Besides, it is a social service type business,
so new competitors have the chance to enter the market quite easily without debt
financing. And there are many venture capitalists who are interested in investing in
new business. As the establishment and marketing cost are very high, it will take
time for the new competitors to break-even.

Table 3
8.2 Bargaining power of Customers (Buyers)
If Buyers get the quality product in less than market price, they always look for that
product. In that case bargaining power is not there for customers.
Suppliers play a vital role in our project. In Bangladesh the market is dominated by
a few large suppliers rather than a fragmented source of supply but competition is
increasing in this industry as a result suppliers bargaining power is decreasing day
by day. Sometimes there are some other problems among suppliers such unfair
practices of supplies. But still it is a very good market for suppliers as the demand
is increasing day by day, because they have plenty of orders of supplies.

When an ad is placed in a media and the cost incurred, the company usually adds
certain markup (usually 15%, although it may vary according to circumstances) to
the cost. Then the resultant figure is presented to the client as Bill. This is a
recognized practice in the industry.
As a part of cost plus pricing, the company will need to use markup mainly for two
reasons:
1. More profit
2. Safety net markup (in advertising, extra costs are always incurred, so
markup acts as a guard for the uncertainties and extra costs)
9.7Value-based Pricing
In most cases, the company will not compromise on its 15% company commission
rate because it knows that do that will not be able to provide the quality of IT
service.
3) Relationship Pricing
Although the company norm is to charge 15% as the company commission, the
proposed company, in rare cases, will charge less for the bigger clients based on
the considerations of future potential profit streams over lifetime of clients.

Television:
Pros:
1. Television is an extremely creative and flexible medium. Virtually any product
message can be adapted to TV.
2. Network television is the primary vehicle for reaching mass audiences.
3. Television offers advertisers prestige lacking in most other media.
Cons:
1. The television message is perishable and easily forgotten without expensive
repetition.
2. Advertising costs continue to increase. This had led to more and shorter
messages, which contribute to commercial clutter.
Newspapers:
Printed ads in daily news papers would also enhance customers awareness about
our product. Colorful yet classy ads simply describing our products and its
features, occasionally mentioning the lucrative offers and announcements would
create much awareness. Besides, reviews and features about our product in
newspaper would be a very good idea about customer awareness.

Table 6
Pros:
1. Newspapers have wide exposure to a general population.
2. Newspaper advertising is extremely flexible, with opportunities for color, large
and small space ads, timely insertion schedules, and some selectivity through
special sections and targeted editions.
3. Newspapers reach their audiences at the convenience of the reader.
Cons:
1. The average person spends less than 30 minutes reading a newspaper.
Consequently, most ads go unread.
2. Teenagers and young adults do not demonstrate high newspaper readership.
3. Advertising costs have risen much more sharply than circulation in recent
years.
Radio:
Now a days radio is one of the most popular medium of entertainment. When
people are on their way to work or other destinations, they listen to radio. So we
should follow the timings like 8.30-10.30am and 5.00-7.00 pm. It will also follow
the TVC timing
Chayachoder Gaan,
Bangladesh Betar Afternoon program,
Night program
Table 7
Page | 25
Pros:
1. Radio can more selectively target an audience segment than virtually any other
medium, especially teens.
2. Radio goes with listeners into the marketplace, giving advertisers proximity to
the sale.
3. Radio, with its relatively low cost for production and immediacy, can react
quickly to changing market conditions.
Cons:
1. Without a visual component, listeners often use radio as background rather
than paying full attention.
2. The low average audience of most radio stations requires high frequency to
achieve acceptable reach and frequency.
3. Adequate audience research is not always available, especially in medium and
smaller radio markets.
Magazines:
A lot of people are regular magazine readers. So placing ads on magazines would
make them exposed to our service. Such popular magazines are
Binodon
Canvas
Charbela Charidik
Mirror etc.
Pros:
1. The number and range of specialized magazines provide advertisers with an
opportunity for narrowly targeting audiences. Both demographic and
geographic selectivity can be achieved.
2. They provide a prestige, quality environment for advertisers.
3. Magazines advertising has a long life, especially since issues are often passed
along to several readers.
Cons:
1. Magazines are more expensive on an audience-reach basis than any other
major medium, with the possible exception of direct mail.
2. Most magazines have relatively long advertising deadlines, which reduce
flexibility and the ability of advertisers to react to fast-changing market
conditions.
Page | 26
3. A single magazine rarely reaches the majority of a market segment. Therefore,
several magazines must be used or alternative media must supplement
magazine advertising.
Billboards:
We are planning to set up a very few billboards at prime areas of Dhaka. It would
attract the business people.
Sponsorship:
We will not go for any sponsorship program because we are not higher profit
Maximization Company. Our main purpose is to help people.
Managing Events:
We would arrange various short events in particular occasions like New Years
Eve, Eid, Valentines Day, Halloween in under privileged areas.
Direct Marketing:
Page | 27
Public Relations:
Public relations also include advertising, participating in community services,
sponsorship etc which our company would do a few of them in the long run.
Because as a new company, we would have to first make our existence clear in
the market then we will have to build a strong reputation.
Personal Selling:
In case of personal selling, our company would do these activities-
Send sales persons from door to door at our target people door and tell
about our product and our social cause.
Telephone sales are also a part of personal selling.

9.14People:
An essential ingredient to any service provision is the use of appropriate staff and
people. Recruiting the right staff and training them appropriately in the delivery of
their service is essential if the organization wants to obtain a form of competitive
advantage. Client makes judgments and delivers perceptions of the service based
Page | 29
on the employees they interact with. Staff should have the appropriate
interpersonal skills, attitude, and service knowledge to provide the service that
clients are paying for. In our Company we will appoint people based on their
product knowledge and those who have good interaction capabilities. We need
people to stay with us for a long time and we have to make a good reputation
among all the social business firms. While selecting people for the company we
will maintain a minimum skill requirement and after selecting the employees we
will train them at least 2 months for a better quality output. We will provide a
personality development training which will help them to build good attitude and
give them an overall service knowledge by which they will be able to convince the
Customer. After doing all these things we can hope to get a good feedback from
our customer as our whole business depends on them.
9.15 Process:
This area of marketing depends on how the company is able to handle the
customers demands and needs properly. Any customer query, confusions and so
on must be met through proper communication by those responsible for the work.
It can be done while presenting the work or before the contract is made. There
maybe times where customers may ask to scale back the efforts since they cannot
handle the volume and have to expand the resources, therefore the agencies job
will be to adjust the campaigns accordingly.
9.17 Controls:
Marketing plan of this firm will be connected with the production and operational
plans. Because all the agreements and deadlines have to be maintained by the
production and operation department otherwise it will largely affect the fame of the
firm. From production to delivery each and every step needs to be supervised with
the discipline, quality and other important concerns. Any error at any step may fail
the firm to satisfy the customers as per demand.
Page | 30
Cost control is a vital issue for increasing profitability. If the production cost is low
than it aids to generate more profit. Cost is dependent on different variables like
less production , too much waste, more bargaining power of suppliers, inefficient
employees etc. These independent variables must focused more to cut the cost
respectively.

Chapter 10
Operational plan
Our aim is to achieve very fast growth and gain very good customer response on
our venture because we are first in Bangladesh for this kind of unique production
process. As our business is manufacture based final product from sugar cane fiber
that provides different type of tangible product to customers, we will emphasize on
our operational plan to make it efficient. An effective plan will help us to implement
the strategies in our day to day operations. We will focus on building up customer
reliability by assuring a better quality product.
We have developed our total operation system in three parts. That is given below:
Each and every wing will be working independently. The purpose of dividing the
whole operations into three parts is to come up with better efficiency and better
manufacturing process. We hope will be able to deliver the best product made
from sugar cane fiber and satisfy them at our level best.
Support Wings helps to assist ongoing operations. Which are described below:
1Finance:
Our finance department for operations will be responsible for keeping track of all
the businesses transactions that will occur. We will have one main finance
department with two divisions. But at the end of every day all the information will
be accumulated in the finance department.
Cash Management:
Page | 32
This is the main purpose of this department. As we are going to have many
products, this will help us to keep track of cash inflows and outflows effectively.
Using the daily, weekly, monthly and annual data, our financial analyst will
forecast and manage the cash resources, including the investment of cash
balances. This information will guide us to take decisions effectively.
Accounts Payables:
The Finance department will keep the record of daily purchase of raw materials for
production and for necessary equipments on credit. It will process, verify and
make payment to the vendors within the time. It will be carefully handled so that
we can maintain a long-term relationship with the suppliers.
Management Information:
Financial Reporting:
On the basis of daily reporting, monthly operating statement, balance sheet, cash
flow projections will be made. Experts will calculate the full year forecasts and
other various analytical reports.
Payroll Processing:
Page | 33
All the aspects of the payroll functions are going to be taken into account including
cost segmentation and daily labor productivity tracking, overtime of the employees
will be recorded so that the salary and wages can be managed effectively.
Customized Reporting:
Our team will be able to provide customized financial reports to meet owner's
needs or requirements for the profitability.

The Manager on Duty is a particularly important and critical role for the success of

Information Technology:
Page | 34
There are many businesses, which need different software packages for satisfying
their operational as well as functional needs. To fulfill this requirement, these
companies sign deals with the software manufacturing companies. Information
technology is useful in ensuring the smooth functioning of all the departments in a
company such as the human resource department, finance department,
manufacturing department and also in security related purposes. This kind of
technology in this service sector allows us to work effectively and get rid of errors
that can be made while working manually.

Primary activity:
Our maximum capacity of production in per months in glass and plate section is
20000 units per month. In our tissue paper section 10000 units per month. And in
bad sheet section production capacity is 50000 square feet per month. We are
expecting to reach our breakeven by sales within first six months. Since its a new
concept in Bangladesh we have to for some months for getting order at a large

Technology utilization:
We will use different types of technology for maintaining our production process,
maintaining proper inventory, manage order from buyers and for selling our
products. Our most of the machines are automatic that are controlled by centre
controlling unit that maintain maximum productivity. If any fault occurs in any parts
of the production system then manufacturing process will be ceased for moment
until machines are properly repaired. That will prevent us from occurring any major
accident. Our inventory system is maintained by (CBIT) computer based inventory
system. So we reduce inventory holding period that will help us minimizing cost
and speeding the production process. We will use website for receiving orders. So
our investors will not face any hustle for giving orders and we can supply them
products in priority based with great efficiency.

We need machinery that is both efficient and cheap. So china is the best option.
We need different types of machinery for producing of final output because our
product range is diverse. For producing Biodegradable and Disposable tableware
we need almost dame types of machinery with different shaped dice. But for
producing Boards and Sugarcane Denim Fabric from sugar cane fiber we need
more expensive and unique type of machine. For manufacturing fabrics we have
to set up different types of textile machineries. We have to buy chair, fan, trolley,
computer, light, table besides machinery.

Social Responsibility Strategy
In Bangladesh no legal compulsion is there. A few years back, Bangladesh Bank (BB)
issued circular urging CSR activities for scheduled banks. Now BB publishes a very
comprehensive annual report on CSR activities of the scheduled banks. This has compelled
the banks to be forthcoming about CSR activities because the annual report has been the
instrument of compulsion.
There is no denying that because of the central bank, CSR activities have been virtually
institutionalized in the banking sector. In this connection it may be mentioned that
Bangladesh Bank has adopted a number of pro-poor measures through the banking
channels which have helped accelerate poverty alleviation activities. However, it should be
remembered that decoration work in the VIP road, arrangement of golf tournament,
display of gala fireworks in connection with the opening ceremony of state functions etc.,
are not acceptable under CSR programs. We try to do actual CSR activities of programs.
We try to ensure human rights, labor standards, and environment friendly plant.

Internet marketing is a dynamic and revolutionary idea which has become a very
important medium of marketing recently. Interactive media allow back and forth
flow of information whereby users can participate in and modify the form and the
content of the information they receive in real time. So, Our Company will
definitely engage in internet marketing. In this way, by putting up an ad virtually, a
lot of people will come across the information about our company. In doing so we
would have to create-

Exit plan
In this life, nothing is certain. So, in case our business plan does not go according
to our likings and lead towards massive loss, we have developed couple of
solutions as exit plan.
Merger: If we failed in our project then we can merge the company. Merge the
company with a larger company which has a larger market share weak strong
production line. With the merger we can get higher production as well as greater
market share. The brand in this industry really does not matter therefore a merger
will be only the acquisition of assets. The investment of the company can either be
retrieved by the sale of the company or buy keeping share in the merger company.
Page | 59
Often many big companies merge their company by acquiring other company to
less the stiff competition.
The product than can then be exported as there is reporting a rise in demand for
Bangladeshi Bagasse products. Only a little investment would be required to take
the new route as the company already has the plastic.

Production Plan
In our manufacturing plant the main production system is producing product from
sugar cane fiber. There are a lot of devices and there are lots of processes related
with it. Managing raw materials which is in this case different electric operated

machines, for producing a value added service is a process which falls under
production system. The process is briefly given below:

14 Katha (10,080 square feet, or 0.2314 acre) areas. We need two 5 ton pickup
vans to supply our product all over the country and collect raw materials. We will
set up diesel run generator for the time of load shedding. In our physical pant
included units are Raw Materials Store, Cutting and matching room, Stitching
room, finishing room, packing room, company office, wash room. We will import
machinery from china for production. We also have to hire big storage house for
maintaining our inventory. We dont need any natural gas connection for our
production. We need only a lot of water and high voltage electricity connection.
Our machineries are not fully automatic. So we need a lot of skilled labor for
operating this equipment.
We need machinery that is both efficient and cheap. So china is the best option.
We need different types of machinery for producing of final output because our
product range is diverse. For producing Biodegradable and Disposable tableware
we need almost dame types of machinery with different shaped dice. But for

There are several governments owned sugar mill in northern side of the country.
These are Carew & Co (Darsana of Chuadanga district), Thakurgaon Sugar Mills,
Rajshahi Sugar Mills, and Panchagarh Sugar Mill. They just sell the sugar cane
fiber as an unused material to the local people for using as alternative of fuel. We
can buy this fiber from these mill owners at a very cheap rate. We will also collect
Bagasse from small entrepreneurs like the sugarcane juice makers. Moreover
after the consumption of sugarcane, the Bagasse is just thrown away all over the
country. We can also recruit agent in some parts of the country for collecting these
fiber.
