whats the difference between retrenchment and turnaround strategy? [Video Time Stamp: 00:12]
latest answer
Retrenchment is simply cutting back — reducing costs, assets, or operations to stop losses. Turnaround is the full recovery plan — it includes cutting back first, but then also rebuilding the business back to profitability.

HOLISTIC VIEW OF ACTIVITY
Strategic Management
answered on 30-Oct-25 09:54
Sir, as you said, anything which is good for one activity, may not be good for other activity. In the given example, it was stock, over stocking for smooth production may not be good for other activity such as inbound logistics and finance. Is it concept similar to EOQ concept in Costing. Economic Order Quantity suggests the right amount of stocks to be procured which will lead to minimalising the overall cost. [Video Time Stamp: 05:51]
latest answer
Yes. Operations may want high stock levels to ensure uninterrupted production. But Inbound Logistics suffers from storage congestion, and Finance faces higher working capital blockage.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS: CUSTOMER - SIZE
Strategic Management
answered on 31-Oct-25 18:25
Sir, when the customer size of company such as MRF ( the one from Rubber example) is classified as LARGE, it sounds to be indicating a large number of Customer (Quantity wise). My query is, Why it is classified as Large instead of Big. Is it on purpose, or both can be used interchangebly under this context?
latest answer
Can be used interchangeably.

INSIGHT: NON- SUBSTITUTABILITY - can be susbstituted
Strategic Management
answered on 27-Oct-25 09:59
By the end of the day, it will always depend on the preference of the customer. Howmuch ever one company may have a core capability of NON-SUBSTITUTABILITY for a particular product, such a product could only be marketed if it is affordable by public. Unless it is an essential comodity. For instance, Apple have its core capability in premium segment, which may only attract premium and prosperus customer, but the day its core capablity became costlier to afford, It will start loosing its market share. Even though it has its Non- Substitutable Capability WRT its models, OS, Features, people can always find a substitute by compromising their WANTS and choosing affordability (NEEDS).
