After all the findings, it is concluded that financial ratios are the basic and most important part of any business. It describes the firm’s financial position. As the data indicates that NESTLE is an international brand and has expanded its business on the large geographical area and also offers the large range of products, but on the other side ENGRO food offers the limited range of the products and most of them are dairy products.
From the financial statements it is clear that the financial position of the NESTLE is far better than ENGRO as it is more preferred by the customers and also an internationally distributed. It also has less risk. It gives more return because it gains more profit than ENGRO.On the other hand ENGRO deals with the limited products in a limited geographical area but on the basis of financial ratios ENGRO has a better financial position and also has an opportunity to expand its business. Both the companies have some opportunities and threads and they need to work on it.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

TEA OVERVIEW
The world's passion for tea is legendary, and as it became less a drink for the rich and
more a drink for the masses, the commerce of tea became big business.
Tea is Pakistan’s most popular and cheapest beverage. The annual consumption is
about 150 million kilogram, fluctuates at just less than 1kilogram per year; this is the
world’s seventh highest consumption. 66 percent of the country’s total population of
154 million lives in rural areas, where tea consumption is greatest
Today, tea is the world's second most popular drink (after water). It's easy to make,
affordable and one of the fastest growing beverages (6.5% over 5 years).
Pakistan became a major tea importer. It is now the world’s third largest tea importing
country. Kenya is the leading supplier with 57 percent of Pakistan’s import. Illegal
imports are substantial, nearly 1/3 of domestic consumption and a nearly 81 million
USD business.
The Pakistan’s tea-makers can be classified into the “blended and packed” segment of
the market and the “loose” tea segment. Blending, Packaging and distribution are
nominated by Unilever, the world’s largest transactional corporation in the tea
industry, and Tapal Limited, a very competitive local firm. Both are based in the port
of Karachi. There are some other minor players. Out of recent total legal imports of
114,000,000 kilograms, 70,000,000 kilograms went to the packers, while the rest was
imported by independent traders who sell “loose” tea in open markets.

COMPANY PROFILE
Unilever was created in 1930 when the British soap-maker Lever Brothers merged

global networks would create new opportunities.

LIPTON INDUSTRY PROFILE
Unilever is one of the world’s greatest consumer goods company and Lipton is a
product of Unilever.
Sir Thomas Lipton was a Scottish-born entrepreneur and innovator who decided in
1880, at the age of 40, that he would make tea accessible to all at acceptable prices
and with a guaranteed quality. Before Thomas Lipton, tea had been expensive. It was
a beverage for the rich and variable in taste as a result of improper packaging and
transportation. Thomas Lipton acquired tea estates in Ceylon (today Sri Lanka) and
organized packaging and transportation at low cost to sell his teas 'direct from the tea
garden to the tea pot'. In 1893, he established the Thomas J Lipton Co., a tea packing
company with its headquarters and factory in Hoboken, New Jersey.
LIPTON teas were an immediate success in the US. Thomas Lipton was knighted by
Queen Victoria, who made him Sir Thomas Lipton in 1898 at the age of forty-eight.
Thanks to Sir Thomas Lipton, LIPTON is the world’s leading tea brand and present in
more than 80 countries.
LIPTON stands for brightness, vitality and fun. It compromises of yellow label, iced
tea and green teas. It is designed for upper middle, upper lower and upper middle
class. Lipton is a market leader in the industry. It comes in all the packages including
hard packs, jars and tea bags.
“LIPTON TEA CAN DO THAT”

MISSION STATEMENT OF LIPTON
The mission of Lipton is to meet the everyday needs of the people everywhere to
anticipate the aspirations of our consumers and customers to respond creatively and
competitively with products, which raise the quality of life.
SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS
• Unilever is a multinational company
• Powerful heritage of Lipton as present in the Pakistan market since 1948
• Familiar with psychographics and demographics of the local consumers
• Strong brand mage and brand awareness in Pakistan
• Market leader as t has a 70% market share in branded tea.
• Larger sales force
• Strong and long-term relationship with distributors, wholesalers and retailers.
• Sound and experienced management.
• Excellent marketing department assisted by a highly regarded marketing
research unit.
WEAKNESSES
• Loss of market share to Tapal in Karachi and Multan
• Low market share in N.W.F.P.
17. 17
• Positioning of Lipton Yellow Label as a premium product to which consumers
have a weak emotional attachment
OPPORTUNITIES
• High rate of population growth
• Rising literacy
• Tea was added to the smuggled goods list in March 1998 and import duty was
reduced from 45 to 25 percent. This has collectively placed the entire
organized tea business in a more favorable position.
• Market opportunity of Lipton Yellow Label in rural areas
THREATS
• Threat from cheaper tea smuggled into the country via border areas of NWFP
and Balochistan seriously affecting Lever’s sales and earnings.
• Possible increase of Tapal and loose tea market shares
• Rising inflation, which reduces disposable income of consumers?
• Increasing import duties since a lot of raw materials are imported would raise
the price of its end products.
• Lipton’s profit margin is exposed to rupee devaluation.
LIPTON CARDAMOM TEA
Lipton has been playing the key role to provide its consumers with something better
and different in every way it can. Lipton once again with the extension in its product
mix has come up with the idea of introducing new flavor in the market, the cardamom
18. 18
flavor. The differentiation strategy of Lipton is the flavor and aroma. It is targeted for
the existing tea drinkers, providing them with something new and attractive, with
great aroma and taste.
Unilever has used product development strategy to introduce Lipton Cardamom Tea;
it has offered modified/new products to current markets

SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
MICROENVIRONMENT FACTORS
Microenvironment of a company is all the factors that affect its ability to serve its
customers. It includes the company, suppliers, marketing intermediateries, customer
markets, competitors, and publics
1. The Company
Unilever is the largest FMCG Company in Pakistan, which was established in 1948. It is an
international company, with head offices in most of the countries of the world. People at
Unilever work together to attain a single target, which is customer, need satisfaction. The
people at work, coordinates to achieve this target through setting up objectives and targets and
attaining them. Top Management set the mission and objectives, whereas the marketing
managers set strategies according to all these decisions and missions. Unilever strategy has
been quite amazing; their efforts go beyond just providing the products, more importantly,
providing consumers with the required health and nutrition information that can help them
make better informed choices to lead a healthier lifestyle
2. Suppliers
The suppliers have made an important link in the company’s overall
customer value and delivery system.
3. Marketing Intermediateries
Unilever marketing intermediaries have played an effective role in distributing its
products. Unilever products are widely available in nearly all retail stores. The
physical distribution of the firm is quite balanced and covers a very wide area.
Financial intermediaries of the firm are quite strong and depict a very firm relation
with the company. These have strongly helped the company in promoting its products.
20. 20
4. Customers
The customers have always been quite contended with the products. There’s a huge
wide range of products produced that are being used by consumers on regular basis.
The company has maintained its standard though out, that has helped in binding
strong relations with its customers. Customers don’t feel like switching to any other
brands and are blind folded by the standard and quality produced. The Unilever
Lipton cardamom tea targets very niche market, the concept is new and very few
people are aware of it.
MACRO ENVIRONMENT FACTORS
Microenvironment factors are all the societal factors, which affect the company; these
include demographics, economic, natural, technological, political and cultural forces.
1. Demographics
Pakistan is the country here tea intake is very high as compared to other countries of
the world. Generally, people consume 2-4 cups of tea per day. So demographically in
a country like Pakistan where tea intake is high, any production or development in the
line/product extension would help the company to grow.
The demographics include ages, location, gender, race, occupation etc.
Lipton is designed for upper middle, upper lower and upper middle class. The
potential market of Lipton is the people aged 10-60; it does not target the children.
2. Economics Forces
The buying of Lipton cardamom tea, which is for a particular class and niche market,
the economic factors like low income, the decline in the production, the inflation rate
might influence the buying pattern of the people.
21. 21
3. Cultural Factors
