Importance of Project Management in Learning

“A recent research has revealed that organisations that excel in project management meet their goals two and a half times more often and waste about 13 times less money than organisations that are poor at project management.”

Seems something new, as research is supported by some data – making a reality more real. But fact remains as it is. When an activity is taken without having a goal, a well thought of ‘where to reach target’, activity only provides some people some experience. In my words experience is nothing but repetition of same mistake again and again. Therefore no learning occurs, even at the cost of expenses incurred by the organisation. On top of that it brings to the organisation a culture of negativity and avoiding change.

Every activity, should therefore be taken as a project with well-defined path and target to achieve them. It will help in providing learning and overall, successful organisation to its people.

Stress Loans: Will banks be unwilling to give loans to 'fair' companies? It is said that business is not done by 'self' investment but by 'borrowed' money from banks and individual investors. It is primarily banks & other financial institutions that extend lending facility as they are meant for this purpose. But they themselves are in a BUSINESS & business, of course, means profit. In last two decades, as the Indian economy opened up, banks & other institutions helped in achieving GDP growth by extending facility to old & new business to expand further. Bust as it is said, every coin has two sides - positive & negative. It is seen of late by published data that some seems to be taking undue advantage of this opportunity.

Pricing- a victim of IT Revolution

Businesses have undergone tremendous change due to information revolution. Pricing, which was in the hands of producers has shifted into the hands of customers. Today, marking up profit by simply jacking up prices is no longer possible. Transparency, customer awareness and easy modes to compare have changed the whole mechanism of pricing. In older days, margins were decided whimsically by different decision makers leading to various pricing techniques. I feel that pricing techniques were all depended upon who were deciding them. Cost-Plus Pricing was a long-time favorite to Finance Managers. Likewise, Customer – Driven technique was a favorite of Sales Professionals and Market-Share Pricing Technique was liked by Marketing Managers. Let’s look at, Cost Plus Pricing Technique.
