How to plan for a turbulent environment surrounding the current pandemic​

Business
1 answer:
kompoz [17]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

The long-running debate between the ‘rational design’ and ‘emergent process’ schools of strategy formation has involved caricatures of firms' strategic planning processes, but little empirical evidence of whether and how companies plan. Despite the presumption that environmental turbulence renders conventional strategic planning all but impossible, the evidence from the corporate sector suggests that reports of the demise of strategic planning are greatly exaggerated. The goal of this paper is to fill this empirical gap by describing the characteristics of the strategic planning systems of multinational, multibusiness companies faced with volatile, unpredictable business environments. In-depth case studies of the planning systems of eight of the world's largest oil companies identified fundamental changes in the nature and role of strategic planning since the end of the 1970s. The findings point to a possible reconciliation of ‘design’ and ‘process’ approaches to strategy formulation. The study pointed to a process of planned emergence in which strategic planning systems provided a mechanism for coordinating decentralized strategy formulation within a structure of demanding performance targets and clear corporate guidelines. The study shows that these planning systems fostered adaptation and responsiveness, but showed limited innovation and analytical sophistication

Petro Roos is thinking of purchasing the business premises rather than renting it. Provide Two separate advantages and two separ
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Advantages of buying business premises

There are considerable advantages to securing a mortgage to buy business premises, including:

  1. your mortgage repayment is likely to be similar to or less than a rental payment on the same property
  2. with a fixed rate mortgage, your monthly repayments will be predictable
  3. you aren't exposed to any sudden, large rent increases
  4. you may be able to sublet any free space, reducing your monthly repayments (you may require permission from your lender to do so) and allowing you to generate extra income
  5. interest payments on a commercial mortgage are tax-deductible
  6. any gain in value of the property will increase your capital
  7. as your business grows, you may be able to extend your existing premises, avoiding relocation costs
  8. you have control over what alterations you want to make to your office space

Disadvantages of buying business premises

The disadvantages of buying business premises include the following:

  1. Unlike renting, you'll need to come up with a substantial mortgage deposit - this is money that might be used for more important business purposes.
  2. If you own premises, you may find it harder to relocate your business, because selling business premises is a complex and sometimes lengthy process. If you rent, you may be able to negotiate to end your rental agreement, or to find another organisation to take over your tenancy at short-notice.
  3. If you have a variable rate mortgage, you are exposed to increases in interest rates.
  4. Owning a property means you'll be responsible for factors such as maintenance, fixtures and fittings, insurance, decoration and security, which can prove expensive.
  5. Repaying a commercial mortgage
  6. Commercial mortgage fees and costs
