BMIS – May 2019 – L1 – Q2 – Introduction to business strategy

Explain the need for planning before embarking on a business venture and the advantages of a formal system of strategic planning.

TestCo Company Ltd (TCL) introduced a product, YZ Sap, into the North East Region market and the patronage was very encouraging. In a conversation with a friend, the Managing Director of TCL, Asembibeba, made a strong case for taking risks without necessarily planning for the outcome. In his opinion, introducing YZ Sap into the North East Region without a formal planning process and its positive outcome suggests that planning is not necessary when entering a new untapped market.

Required:

a) Write a note to Asembibeba explaining clearly FIVE (5) reasons why there is the need for planning before embarking on a business venture. (10 marks)

b) Write a second note to Asembibeba explaining FIVE (5) advantages of a formal system of strategic planning when embarking on a business venture. (10 marks)
