Q-1 On one of those pleasant cold February mornings, Sanjay Nandrajog, the Chief Executive Officer of FieldFresh Foods Private Limited, pondered the future. He had just returned to Delhi from the company’s Agri Centre of Excellence (ACE), an R&D farm where he celebrated the dispatch of 500 metric tons of fresh baby corn to Europe. The top management team at FieldFresh was justifiably proud of this achievement as it had required tremendous effort to become an important exporter of Indian produce.FieldFresh had been incorporated in 2004 with the vision of linking Indian fields to the world.

Question 2 Back in the 1950s, General Motors (GM) was at its peak. It was widely viewed as a shining example of how a large company should be managed, and controlled three quarters of the US car market. As at 2020, GM remains the biggest automaker by sales in the US, but it controls less than 20% of the market. For consumers, this level of competition has been wonderful; the level of choice when it comes to buying and leasing. For GM, as well as other large carmakers, having to operate in this realm isn't always fun, but if pressed they'll admit that there's something distinctly American about the market being hyper-competitive — and they might even acknowledge that having Germans and Japanese brands to do battle against helps them to improve their own capabilities. 1. Are the firms in the automobile industry operating efficiently in (i) the 1950s (ii) presently Briefly explain answers. 2. Briefly explain what role, if any, does advertising play in the automobile industry in the (i)…

Question #2 Case 10.5 Green or Greenwashing? A small business (thirty-five employees) in the highly competitive greeting card business is faced with a challenging issue. The company makes artistic, handmade greeting cards that are sold to local retails stores, who then sell them to consumers.

Both the recession and increased competition have cut into market share. The owners of the business (a husband and wife) were recently approached by a…
