There is no "general manager" in Functional Level
Strategic Management
answered on 16-Nov-20 10:09
Is this true in case of all enterprises? Please also provide a basic explanation.
latest answer
General manager is just a term to denote a person responsible for a function or a division. This term is no longer relevant today as there are multiple designations. You will have a general manager for each function.

1ã??Xiamo sells phone with exactly same features as that of a Samsung phone at a lesser price. 2ã??AMD sells assembled Desktop Computer having 8gb RAM for â?¹ 60000, whereas Intel also sells assembled PCs at nearly same price but their PC contains 16gb RAM and upgraded hardware.
latest answer
Kind of yes. But again all features and quality between samsung and xiaomi would not be the same. For e.g both may have 16MP camera. But one may have a better lens.

Vertical Merger vs Vertically integrated Diversification
Strategic Management
answered on 15-Nov-20 12:51
I quote from the book pg 4.10: "A coffee bean manufacturer may choose to merge with a coffee cafe" The above e.g. is from topic Vertically Integrated Diversification, but it talks about merger. Then again, a page or two later there is a topic called "Vertical Meger". How are these two (mentioned in title) different then?
latest answer
ICAI has been inconsistent with the way book is compiled. Diversification also has two aspects. Ansoff Matrix - New product and new market General - Starting a new business is also called a diversification. You need to choose an option which fits the best and is specific. . For e.g. if there is a merger, you need to choose the one which indicates merger.

Sometimes there can be slight difference and the statement can look like a vision or a mission. In this case Provide is present and future.
