    ECO-01: Business Organisation

    Q:-1 what are the essential requisites of an ideal form of business organization? Exlain the

    !riteria for the sele!tion of the form of organisation"

    #ns:

     1. Eas$ formation: An important factor for preferring a particular form of organisation to another is

    the ease with which a business can be brought into existence. The comparative ease of difficulty in

    forming a particular form of organisation mainly depends on three factors:

    • formation expenses by way of registration fee, stamp duty, fees of legal experts, charges

    involved in the drafting of documents, obtaining licence, etc.,

    • legal formalities, and

    • Procedural delays, etc. Unless it is very essential, it is better to go for an organisation which is

    easy to form.

    2.   cope of raising capital: The choice of organisation mainly depends on the amount of capital

    re!uired which is determined by the nature of business and the scale of operations. "or example,

    if you want to open a retail shop in groceries, the amount of capital needed will not be much. #ut

    if you want to set up a sugar factory, you may re!uire a large amount of capital. $deal form of 

    organisation is one which provides scope for raising the amount of capital as and when re!uired.

    3. Extent of liabilit$: %ou &now that the element of ris& and uncertainty is prevalent in each

     business. $n view of this, normally, the businessmen prefer limited liability. 'bviously, limited

    liability is considered as an important feature of a good form of organisation. however, a certain

    amount of ris& is also found to be important to provide the needed spur for initiative, drive, and

    involvement in business. (any times, the absence of such spur leads to wea&ness, inefficiency

    and even dishonesty on the part of management personnel.

    4. %lexibilit$ of oerations: The form of organisation should be very flexible and adaptable to

    changing business conditions without much difficulty or complication. "or example, if you want

    to expand your business, diversify or modernise the plant and e!uipment, the organisation should

     be able to meet all re!uirements.

    5.  &tabilit$ and !ontinuit$: tability and long life of business is desirable from the point of view of 

    owners, employees, and customers. )mployees always prefer a stable and continuous

    employment. $f the business is stable, the owner should be able to formulate plans for the future

    and to ma&e investments paying for a considerable length of time. "rom the customers* point of 

    view also, regular supply of goods and services is expected to meet their needs. An ideal form of 

    organisation is one which provides reasonable amount of stability to the business.

    PIXELES CLASSES BCA &MCA (IGNOU)6. Effe!ti'eness of management: As you &now that the success of any business enterprise depends

    on the efficiency of management. (anagerial efficiency depends on s&ills, motivation, flexibility,

    adaptability, etc. $t is difficult for an individual to possess all these !ualities.

    7. Extent of go'ernment !ontrol and regulations: $f the governmental control and regulations are

    too many, the enterprise may have to divert a lot of time, money and energy for complying with

    legal formalities and instructions. $n some cases there may be too much interference by the

    government officials in the day+to+day business of the firm. o doubt, the investors, creditors, and

    customers trust the business enterprises whose Activities are properly regulated by the

    government. #ut too much governmental $nterference is not favoured by the entrepreneurs

     because it mars their initiative and disrupts the wor&ing of their business.

    8.  Business se!re!$: (n business, it is important to maintain business secrets without lea&ing them

    out to competitors. Therefore, a form of organisation which enables , retention of business secretsis preferred to the one wherein business secrets are difficult to preserve.

    9. )ax:-  #usiness taxes li&e sales tax, excise duty, and customs duty are charged products and

    services. -ence, such taxes affect all forms ali&e and they will not affect the choice. #ut the

    income tax liability is different from one form of organisation $ to the other. aturally, the form of 

    organisation which attract the minimum amount of $ this tax liability is considered as an ideal

    form.

    10.  Ownershi rerogati'es: ome persons have a very strong desire to control the entire business

    activities themselves and place a great value upon their right of personal leadership. ome persons

    are desirous of sharing the responsibilities and ris&s of a business. ome people may want to own

    a part of the capital without a strong desire to control the affairs of the business. %ou can also find

    some persons who are not ready to bear the business ris&. An ideal form of organisation ta&es care

    of such prerogatives of the owners.

    $nsurance is not effective for ris&s that are not insurable ris&s. "or example, ris&s that are too large

    cannot be insured, or the premiums would be so high as to ma&e purchasing the insurance infeasible.

    Also, ris&s that are not measurable, if insured, will be difficult if not impossible for the insurer to

    !uantify, and thus they cannot charge the correct premium. They will need to charge a conservatively

    high premium in order to mitigate the ris& of paying too large a claim. The premium will thus be

    higher than ideal, and inefficient. Passing of ris& involves both party to the contract. The general rule

    is that unless otherwise agreed, ris& passes with title. An agreement to the contrary may be either 

    expressed or implied. An insurable ris& is a ris& that meets the ideal criteria for efficient insurance.

    The concept of insurable ris& underlies nearly all insurance decisions

    =arehouse is a storage structure constructed for the protection of the !uality and !uantity of the

    they are despatched to the consumers. #y bridging this gap, storage creates time utility. There is a

    need for storing the goods so as to ma&e them available to buyers as and when re!uired. torage

    enables a firm to carry on production in anticipation of demand in future. =arehouses enables the

     businessmen to carry on production throughout the year and sell their products, whenever there is

    ade!uate demand. eed for warehouses arise also because some goods are produced only in a

    PIXELES CLASSES BCA &MCA (IGNOU)Ans:

    The path through which goods and services travel from the vendor  to the consumer or  payments for 

    those  products travel from the consumer to the vendor. A distribution channel can be as short as a

    direct  transaction  from the vendor to the consumer, or may include several interconnected

    intermediaries along the way such as wholesalers, distributors, agents and retailers. )ach intermediary

    receives the item at one pricing point and movies it to the next higher pricing point until it reaches the

    final buyer .

    ,1 )he 7ature of the rodu!t:

    These factors include physical characteristics of a product and their impact on the selection of a

     particular channel of distribution.

    8arious fa!tors under this !ategor$ are:

    ,a erishabilit$:

    Products which are perishable in nature are distributed by employing a shorter channel of distribution

    so that goods could be delivered to the consumers without delay. elay in distribution of these

     products will deteriorate their !uality.

    ,b &ize and weight of rodu!t:

    #ul&y and heavy products li&e coal and food grains etc. are directly distributed to the users involve

    heavy transportation costs. $n order to minimise these costs a short and direct distribution channel is

    suitable.

    ,! 9nit 'alue of a rodu!t:

    Products with lesser unit value and high turnover are distributed by employing longer channels of 

    distribution. -ousehold products li&e utensils, cloth, cosmetics etc. ta&e longer time in reaching the

    consumers.. 'n the other hand, products li&e >ewellery having high product value are directly sold to

    the consumers by the >ewellers.

    ,! &tandardization:

    Products of standard si?e and !uality usually ta&e longer time by adopting longer channel of 

    distribution. "or example, machine tools and automobile products which are of standard si?e reach theconsumer through the wholesalers and retailers. Un+standardised articles ta&e lesser time and pass

    through shorter channels of distribution.

    ,e )e!hni!al 7ature of rodu!ts:

    $ndustrial products which are highly technical in nature are usually distributed directly to the

    industrial users and ta&e lesser time and adopt shorter channel of distribution. $n this case after sales

    service and technical advice is provided by the manufacturer to the consumers.

    'n the other hand, consumer products of technical nature are usually sold through wholesalers and

    retailers. $n this manner longer channel of distribution is employed for their sales. After sales services

    refrigerators, etc.

    ,f rodu!t 4ines:

    A manufacturer producing different products in the same lines sells directly or through retailers and

    lesser time is consumed in their distribution. "or example, in case automobile rubber products this

     practice is followed. 'n the other hand, a manufacturer dealing only in one item appoints sole selling

    agents, wholesalers and retailers for selling the product. "or example, in case of ;9anaspati @hee<

    longer distribution channel in underta&en.

    ,* )he 7ature of the mar2et:

    This is another factor influencing the choice of a proper channel of distribution. The number of buyers

    of the product affects the choice of a f channel of distribution.

    %ollowing fa!tors are !onsidered in this regard:

    ,aConsumer of industrial mar2et:

    $n case of industrial mar&ets, number of buyers is less a shorter channel of distribution can be

    adopted. These buyers usually directly purchase from the manufacturers. (ar&eting intermediaries are

    not needed in this case.

    #ut in case of consumer mar&ets, where there are a large number of buyers, a longer channel of 

    distribution is employed. istribution process cannot be effectively carried out without the services of 

    wholesalers and retailers.

    ,b 7umber of rose!ti'e bu$ers:

    $f the number of buyers is li&ely to be more, the distribution channel will be long. 'n the other hand,

    if the number of consumers is expected to be less, the manufacturer can effectively sell directly to the

    consumers by appointing salesmen.

    ,!&ize of the order:

    $f the si?e of the order placed by the customers is big, direct selling can be underta&en by the

    manufacturer as in case of industrial goods. #ut where the si?e of the order is small, middlemen are

    appointed to distribute the products.,d eograhi! !on!entration of mar2et:

    =here the customers are concentrated at one particular place or mar&et, distribution channel will be

    short and the manufacturer can directly supply the goods in that area by opening his own shops or 

    sales depot. $n case where buyers are widely scattered, it is very difficult for the manufacturer to

    establish a direct lin& with the consumers, services of wholesalers and retailers will be used.

    ,e Bu$ing habits of !ustomers:

    This includes tastes, preferences, li&es and disli&es of customers. 0ustomers also expect certain

    services li&e credit and personal attention and after sales services etc. All these factors greatly

    influence the choice of distribution channel.

    ,3 )he 7ature of iddlemen:

    (ar&eting intermediaries are vital components in the distribution of goods. They greatly influence the

    mar&eting of goods.

    (mortant fa!tors relating to the sele!tion of a arti!ular middleman are exlained as under:

    ,a Cost of distribution of goods:

    0ost of distribution through middlemen is one of the main considerations to be ta&en into account by

    the manufacturer. -igher cost of distribution will result in the increased cost of product. The

    manufacturer should select the most economical distribution channel.

    $n finali?ing the channel of distribution, services provided by the intermediaries must be &ept in mind.

    $t may be pointed out that the manufacturer can select an expensive mar&eting intermediary because

    that may ensure various mar&eting services which cannot be offered by others.

    ,b #'ailabilit$ of desired middlemen:

    ometimes desired middlemen may not be available for the distribution of goods. They may be busy

    in dealing with the competitive products. Under such circumstances the manufacturer has to ma&e his

    own arrangements by opening his branches or sales depots to distribute the goods to the consumers.

    ,! 9nsuitable mar2eting oli!ies for middlemen:

    The mar&eting policies of the manufacturer may not be welcomed by the middlemen the terms and

    conditions may not favours the middlemen. "or example, some wholesalers or retailers would li&e to

    act as sole selling agents for the product in a particular area or region.

    ,d &er'i!es ro'ided b$ middlemen:

    The manufacturer should select those middlemen who provide various mar&eting services vi?,

    storage, credit and pac&ing etc. At the same time the middlemen should ensure various services to

    customers.

    ,e Ensuring greater 'olume of sales:

    A manufacturer would li&e to appoint that middlemen who assure greater sales volume over the long

    run.,f /eutation and finan!ial soundness:

    $n appointing middleman, the manufacturer must ta&e into consideration the financial stability and

    reputation of the middleman. A financially sound middleman can provide credit facilities to customers

    and ma&e prompt payment to the manufacturer.

    ,6 )he nature and size of the manufa!turing unit:

    The nature and si?e of manufacturing unit has a great impact on the selection of a distribution

    channel.

    )he 'arious !onsiderations in this regard are as follows:

       +

    PIXELES CLASSES BCA &MCA (IGNOU)3eputed and financially sound manufacturing concerns can easily engage middlemen as compared to

    lesser reputed and newly established units. Usually a manufacturing unit having a sound financial

     base can easily distribute the goods without appointing middlemen by opening their own sales depots

    and branches. A financially wea&er unit cannot operate without the help of middlemen.

    ,B #bilit$ and Exerien!e of the 9nderta2ing:

    $ndustrial underta&ings having ample mar&eting ability and experience can effectively manage their

    distribution activities themselves. They have lesser dependence on underta&ing intermediaries. 'n the

    other hand, mar&eting units possessing lesser mar&eting ability and experience depend more on

    middlemen for the distribution of goods.

    ,C +esire for Control of Channel:

    A manufacturer may resort to a shorter distribution channel in order to exercise effective control over

    distribution. This is suitable in case of perishable goods and is helpful in establishing direct lin&

     between the manufacturer and the consumer. The cost of distribution may be more by adopting such a

    channel of distribution.

    ,+ (ndustrial Con'entions:

    $ndustrial conventions followed influence the selection of distribution channel. $f a particular mode of 

    distribution is adopted in an industry, the same will be followed by every manufacturing unit in that

    industry in distribution their products.

    ,E &er'i!es ro'ided B$ the anufa!turers:

    The selection of mar&eting intermediaries is also influenced by various services provided by the

    manufacturer. These services include extensive advertisement for the product, after sales services and

    The money mar&et is often accessed alongside the capital mar&ets. =hile investors are willing to ta&e

    on more ris& and have patience to invest in capital mar&ets, money mar&ets are a good place to Bpar&B

    funds that are needed in a shorter time period + usually one year or less. The financial instruments

    used in capital mar&ets include stoc&s and bonds, but the instruments used in the money mar&ets
