This document discusses evaluating strategy using strategic analysis of operating income. It provides an example analysis of operating income for a chipset company from 2012 to 2013. The analysis breaks down changes in operating income into growth, price recovery, and productivity components. It examines the revenue and cost effects of each component, calculating the impact on operating income from changes in units sold, prices, input levels, and efficiency. The example shows increases in operating income driven by growth but decreases due to rising costs and less productivity.
In this presentation, we will discuss the value chain and all the primary activities involved. Strategy and decision making procedure, indicators of market potentials, types of strategies is discussed here. We will talk about strategic alliances, managing cooperative strategies, material management in global business, production system model, locating manufacturing facilities, and various other decision making processes.

List of Bangladeshi Multinational Companies and their entry strategySouman Guha
A multinational corporation or worldwide enterprise is a corporate organization which owns or controls production of goods or services in at least one country other than its home country. A market entry strategy is the planned method of delivering goods or services to a new target market and distributing them there. When importing or exporting services, it refers to establishing and managing contracts in a foreign country.
In this presentation, we will discuss role of MNCs in global economy, their merits and demerits, how to globalize a business by transforming the organizational structures according to international standards.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Strategic Analysis of Operating Income – three parts:
Growth Component – measures the change in operating income
attributable solely to the change in the quantity of output sold between the
current and prior periods.
Price-Recovery Component – measures the change in operating income
attributable solely to changes in prices of inputs and outputs between the
current and prior periods
Productivity Component – measures the change in costs attributable to a
change in the quantity of inputs between the current and prior periods

5. Analysis of Unused Capacity
Two Important Features:
1. Engineered Costs result from a cause-and-effect relationship
between the cost driver and the resources used to produce that
output
2. Discretionary Costs have two parts:
1. They arise from periodic (annual) decisions regarding the maximum
amount to be incurred
2. They have no measurable cause-and-effect relationship between output
and resources used
