Answer -
etailers will be accessible to Yum noodles sales people in rajkot?
2. how many retailers will be covered by each sales person per week?
3. How many salesperson should be appointed by yum noodles in rajkot?
ChatGPT
ChatGPT
To calculate the answers to these questions, let's break down the problem step by step:
Given:

● Total number of retailers selling instant noodles in Rajkot = 1000

● Yum Noodles targets 78% of the retailers via direct distribution
● Each salesperson can reach 13 retailers per day in their 6-day beat plan.

Let's calculate:

● How many retailers will be accessible to Yum noodles salespeople in

Rajkot?

Yum Noodles targets 78% of the retailers, so:

Number of retailers accessible = 78% of 1000
= 0.78 * 1000
= 780 retailers

● How many retailers will be covered by each salesperson per week?

Each salesperson can reach 13 retailers per day, and they work for 6 days in their beat plan. So, the
number of retailers covered per week by each salesperson:
Retailers covered per week per salesperson = 13 retailers/day * 6 days/week
= 78 retailers/week

● How many salespeople should be appointed by Yum Noodles in Rajkot?

To cover 780 retailers (as calculated in question 1), we can divide the total number of retailers by the
number of retailers covered per week per salesperson:
Number of salespeople needed = Total number of retailers / Retailers covered per week per salesperson
= 780 retailers / 78 retailers/week
= 10 salespeople
Therefore, Yum Noodles should appoint 10 salespeople in Rajkot to effectively cover 78% of the retailers
with each salesperson reaching 13 retailers per day in their 6-day beat plan.

16. What are the three different types of distribution strategies that firms use based on their
product categories and distribution objectives?elaborate with help of examples
Answer - The three different types of distribution strategies that firms commonly use
based on their product categories and distribution objectives are:

1. *Intensive Distribution*: In this strategy, firms aim to make their products widely
available in as many outlets as possible within a given market area. This approach is
often used for products with high demand and low involvement, such as everyday
consumer goods. Examples include snacks like chips or soft drinks, which are found in
convenience stores, supermarkets, gas stations, and various retail outlets.

2. *Selective Distribution*: With selective distribution, firms choose to distribute their

products through a limited number of outlets that meet specific criteria. This strategy is
typical for products that require more specialized selling efforts or those that target
specific market segments. For instance, high-end electronics like Apple products are
selectively distributed through authorized retailers or exclusive outlets to maintain brand
image and provide a certain level of service and expertise.

3. *Exclusive Distribution*: Exclusive distribution involves granting exclusive rights to a

limited number of intermediaries or retailers to sell a product in a particular geographic
area or market segment. This strategy is often employed for luxury or niche products that
require a high level of brand control and customization, such as luxury cars like
Rolls-Royce or high-end fashion brands like Chanel. By restricting distribution, firms can
maintain brand exclusivity, control pricing, and ensure a premium buying experience for
customers.

These distribution strategies allow firms to tailor their approach based on factors such as
product characteristics, target market segments, brand positioning, and overall business
objectives.

25. Explain the concept of data preparation and describe its three steps, along with its uses.
(6 marks) MARKET RESEARCH ELECTIVE
Answer - Data preparation, also known as data preprocessing or data cleaning, is a
crucial step in the data analysis process where raw data is transformed, cleaned, and
organized to make it suitable for further analysis. The goal of data preparation is to
ensure that the data is accurate, complete, consistent, and relevant for analysis.

The three steps involved in data preparation are:

1. *Data Cleaning*: This step involves identifying and correcting errors, inconsistencies,
and missing values in the dataset. Common tasks include removing duplicate records,
filling in missing values through imputation techniques, correcting typographical errors,
and handling outliers. Data cleaning ensures that the dataset is accurate and reliable for
analysis.
 2. *Data Transformation*: In this step, the raw data is transformed into a format that is
suitable for analysis. This may involve converting categorical variables into numerical
representations, normalizing or scaling numerical variables to a consistent range, and
encoding text or categorical data into numerical formats using techniques like one-hot
encoding or label encoding. Data transformation helps standardize the data and make it
compatible with different analytical techniques.

3. *Data Integration*: Data integration involves combining data from multiple sources or
datasets into a single, unified dataset for analysis. This may require resolving
inconsistencies in data formats, merging datasets based on common identifiers or keys,
and handling data from different sources with varying structures. Data integration allows
analysts to analyze a comprehensive dataset that incorporates information from multiple
sources, providing a more holistic view of the underlying phenomena.

Uses of data preparation:

1. *Improved Data Quality*: Data preparation helps improve the quality of the dataset by
identifying and correcting errors, inconsistencies, and missing values, ensuring that the
resulting analysis is based on accurate and reliable data.

2. *Enhanced Analysis*: By transforming and integrating data into a standardized format,

data preparation enables analysts to perform more sophisticated and accurate analyses,
leading to better insights and decision-making.

3. *Efficient Modeling*: Clean and well-prepared data is essential for building predictive
models and machine learning algorithms. Data preparation ensures that the data is in a
format suitable for modeling, reducing the risk of errors and improving the performance
of predictive models.

Overall, data preparation is a critical step in the data analysis process that lays the
foundation for accurate and insightful analysis, modeling, and decision-making.

39. For a Firm in the business of delivering business online , the number of promoter,
passive and detractor customers are given in the table below. Compute the NPS score of
the firm

Promoter - 300
Passive customers - 300
Detractor customers - 300

To calculate the Net Promoter Score (NPS), you need to subtract the percentage of
detractors from the percentage of promoters.

NPS = (% Promoters - % Detractors)

First, let's calculate the percentages:

Percentage of Promoters = (Number of Promoters / Total Customers) * 100

Percentage of Detractors = (Number of Detractors / Total Customers) * 100
 Given:

Number of Promoters = 300

Number of Passives = 300
Number of Detractors = 300
Total Customers = 300 + 300 + 300 = 900
Now, let's compute the percentages:

Percentage of Promoters = (300 / 900) * 100 = 33.33%

Percentage of Detractors = (300 / 900) * 100 = 33.33%

Now, calculate the NPS:

NPS = (% Promoters - % Detractors)

= (33.33% - 33.33%)
= 0%

So, the Net Promoter Score (NPS) of the firm is 0%.

 48. What is the difference between aggravating and mitigating factors of risk? Explain with
examples (6 mark)
Aggravating factors and mitigating factors are terms commonly used in risk management to describe
different aspects of risks and their potential impact. Here's how they differ:

● Aggravating Factors:
● Aggravating factors are conditions or circumstances that increase the severity or
likelihood of a risk occurring, as well as its potential negative impact. These factors exacerbate
the risk and make it more challenging to manage or mitigate. They can amplify the consequences
of a risk event and make it more damaging to the organization or project.
Example:
● In a construction project, poor weather conditions such as heavy rainfall or strong
winds could be aggravating factors. These weather conditions increase the risk of delays,
damage to materials, and safety hazards for workers. As a result, they worsen the overall risk
profile of the project and make it more difficult to complete on time and within budget.
● Mitigating Factors:
● Mitigating factors, on the other hand, are conditions or actions that reduce the
severity or likelihood of a risk occurring, as well as its potential negative impact. These factors
help to minimize or manage the risk effectively, thereby reducing its overall threat to the
organization or project. Mitigating factors can include preventive measures, contingency plans, or
risk mitigation strategies.
Example:
● In the context of cybersecurity, implementing robust security protocols and
encryption measures can be mitigating factors. These measures help to protect sensitive data
and systems from cyber threats such as hacking or malware attacks. By implementing strong
security measures, organizations can reduce the likelihood of a cybersecurity breach and mitigate
the potential damage to their reputation, finances, and operations.

In summary, aggravating factors worsen the impact or likelihood of a risk event, while mitigating factors
help to reduce or manage the risk effectively. Understanding both types of factors is crucial for developing
comprehensive risk management strategies and ensuring the resilience of organizations and projects in
the face of potential threats.

50. Lisa is employed by a bank. Recently the bank has decided to change its operational system. List
and explain 4 features of ideal communication strategy that lisa should follow while dealing with
the stakeholders affected by this change
ANSWER -
When dealing with stakeholders affected by a change in operational systems, Lisa should follow an ideal
communication strategy that incorporates the following features:

● Clarity and Transparency:

● Lisa should ensure that the communication is clear, concise, and transparent.
She should provide stakeholders with accurate and understandable information about the
reasons for the change, what the change entails, and how it will impact them. Clear
 communication helps to reduce confusion, manage expectations, and build trust among
stakeholders.
● Timeliness:
● Timely communication is crucial to keep stakeholders informed and engaged
throughout the change process. Lisa should communicate important updates and information in a
timely manner, ensuring that stakeholders are aware of any changes well in advance. This allows
stakeholders to prepare for the change and minimizes disruption to their operations or workflows.
● Two-way Communication:
● Lisa should encourage two-way communication with stakeholders, allowing them
to ask questions, provide feedback, and share concerns or suggestions. Actively listening to
stakeholders' perspectives and addressing their needs and concerns fosters a sense of
involvement and ownership in the change process. It also enables Lisa to gather valuable insights
that can help inform decision-making and refine the implementation plan.
● Tailored Communication:
● Different stakeholders may have different levels of understanding, interests, and
concerns regarding the operational system change. Lisa should tailor her communication
approach to address the specific needs and preferences of each stakeholder group. This may
involve using different communication channels, formats, and messaging styles to effectively
reach and engage diverse stakeholders. By tailoring communication, Lisa can ensure that
stakeholders receive information in a way that resonates with them and enhances their
understanding and acceptance of the change.

By incorporating these features into her communication strategy, Lisa can effectively engage and support
stakeholders throughout the change process, facilitating a smoother transition to the new operational
system.

60. What are the advantages and disadvantages of COSO framework (6 marks)

Answer -
Advantages:

● Comprehensive Approach: The COSO framework provides a comprehensive

approach to internal control and enterprise risk management, covering various aspects such as
control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and
monitoring activities.
● Global Recognition: COSO is globally recognized and widely used by
organizations, regulators, auditors, and other stakeholders, providing a common language and
framework for discussing and evaluating internal control and risk management practices.
● Flexibility: The COSO framework is flexible and scalable, allowing organizations
to tailor its principles and components to their specific needs, objectives, and risk appetite. It can
be applied to organizations of all sizes and industries.
● Integration: COSO can be integrated with other governance, risk, and
compliance (GRC) frameworks and standards, such as ISO 31000 (risk management) and
COSO's Internal Control-Integrated Framework, enabling organizations to align their internal
control and risk management practices with other management systems.
● Enhanced Decision Making: By implementing the COSO framework,
organizations can improve their decision-making processes by systematically identifying,
assessing, and managing risks, as well as by establishing effective internal controls to mitigate
risks and achieve objectives.

Disadvantages:

● Complexity: The COSO framework can be complex and challenging to

implement, especially for smaller organizations or those with limited resources and expertise in
internal control and risk management. It requires significant time, effort, and investment to
understand and apply its principles and components effectively.
● Subjectivity: The interpretation and application of the COSO framework's
principles and components involve a certain degree of subjectivity, which can lead to
inconsistencies and disagreements within organizations, particularly in larger and more diverse
organizations with multiple stakeholders.
● Cost: Implementing the COSO framework, including conducting risk
assessments, designing and implementing internal controls, and establishing monitoring
activities, can be costly, particularly for organizations with limited financial resources or competing
priorities.
● Overemphasis on Documentation: Some critics argue that the COSO
framework places too much emphasis on documentation and formal procedures, which may lead
to bureaucratic practices and hinder agility and innovation within organizations.
 ● Resistance to Change: Implementing the COSO framework may face resistance
from employees and other stakeholders who are accustomed to existing practices or perceive the
framework as imposing additional burdens or constraints on their activities.

Despite these potential disadvantages, the COSO framework offers significant benefits for organizations
seeking to enhance their internal control and enterprise risk management practices, improve decision
making, and achieve their objectives effectively and efficiently.

65. There here are certain individuals who block the teams progress through their actions, thoughts
or behaivours. They are called team blockers. Mention any 6 types with a brief description of
each.

● Aggressor:
● Aggressors tend to assert their opinions forcefully and may resort to hostile or
confrontational behavior towards other team members. They often dominate discussions,
intimidate others, and may resort to verbal or non-verbal aggression to push their agenda,
hindering collaboration and stifling open communication within the team.
● Self-Confessor:
● Self-confessors often use team meetings or interactions as an opportunity to
share personal issues, challenges, or unrelated information. While their intentions may be
genuine, their tendency to focus on personal matters can distract the team from the task at hand,
disrupt workflow, and impede progress towards team goals.
● Fun Seeker:
● Fun seekers prioritize socializing and engaging in non-work-related activities
during team meetings or work sessions. While building team rapport and camaraderie is
important, excessive focus on fun or socializing can detract from productivity, derail discussions,
and undermine the team's ability to achieve its objectives effectively.
● Manipulator:
● Manipulators use deceptive or manipulative tactics to influence team dynamics,
decisions, or outcomes for their own benefit. They may employ tactics such as misinformation,
 guilt-tripping, or playing on emotions to sway opinions or gain advantage within the team,
ultimately undermining trust and cohesion.
● Agreeer:
● Agreeers tend to avoid conflict or confrontation by readily agreeing with others,
even if they may hold differing opinions or concerns. While their intentions may be to maintain
harmony within the team, their reluctance to express dissenting views or challenge assumptions
can lead to groupthink, poor decision-making, and missed opportunities for innovation or
improvement.
● Bouncer:
● Bouncers act as gatekeepers or barriers to information, resources, or
opportunities within the team. They may hoard knowledge, withhold critical information, or restrict
access to resources in order to maintain control or exert power over others. Their behavior can
create silos, foster mistrust, and impede collaboration and knowledge-sharing within the team.

Identifying and addressing these types of team blockers is essential for fostering a positive and productive
team environment, promoting open communication, and overcoming obstacles to achieving team goals
effectively

66. what are the advanteages and disadvantages of ISO 31000 framework
Advantages:

● Standardization: ISO 31000 provides a globally recognized framework for risk

management, enabling organizations to standardize their risk management processes and
practices.
● Comprehensive Approach: It offers a comprehensive approach to risk
management, covering the entire risk management process from identification to assessment,
treatment, monitoring, and review.
● Integration: ISO 31000 can be integrated with other management systems
standards such as ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management),
allowing organizations to manage risks within the context of their overall management system.
● Flexibility: The framework is flexible and scalable, making it suitable for
organizations of all sizes and industries. It can be tailored to meet the specific needs and risk
appetite of the organization.
● Improved Decision Making: By adopting ISO 31000, organizations can make
informed decisions by systematically identifying and assessing risks, leading to better risk
management and ultimately improved performance.

Disadvantages:

● Complexity: Implementing ISO 31000 can be complex, especially for

organizations that lack experience or resources in risk management. It requires significant time,
effort, and expertise to effectively implement the framework.
● Resource Intensive: Developing and maintaining a risk management system
based on ISO 31000 requires resources, including financial investment, skilled personnel, and
time commitment, which may be challenging for some organizations.
● Subjectivity: Risk assessment and risk treatment decisions involve a certain
degree of subjectivity, which can lead to inconsistencies and disagreements within the
organization, particularly in larger and more diverse organizations.
 ● Overemphasis on Documentation: Some critics argue that ISO 31000 places
too much emphasis on documentation and formal procedures, which may lead to bureaucratic
practices and hinder agility and innovation within the organization.
● Limited Prescription: ISO 31000 provides principles and guidelines rather than
specific requirements, which may lead to interpretation and implementation variations across
different organizations. Some organizations may struggle with applying the framework effectively
without clear instructions.

Overall, while ISO 31000 offers numerous benefits for organizations seeking to improve their risk
management practices, it also poses certain challenges that need to be carefully considered and
addressed during implementation.
