Current stage of company:

After conducting interview and research about the Ghar Pyara company, we reached to the conclusion that the company is currently at the stage of III-G i.e. growth success. The business is now generating handsome amount of cash in terms of revenue and profit which they are using to support the business and growth as well. It is basically a Family business which is operated by four brothers. At this stage, they are operating the business very effectively and efficiently. Elder brother is the CEO and other brothers are working as the departmental heads and they hired several employees as per the need for the furniture business. They are also having the futuristic approach to the opening of new production unit in Faisalabad. They also have the strategic objective to global and setup a production unit in Dubai. About III-G Success Growth:

All businesses have one major objective and that is growth. Revenue and profitability, of course, are the primary growth factors on the minds of most business owners but if one wants the business to survive and prosper into the future, then along with planning for growth, it is suggested to expand beyond revenue and profitability and include Reputation, Expertise and Perspective too. When you strip away the assets of your company, either inventory or intellectual capital, all you really have left is your reputation. Customers and clients buy your products and services because of your reputation, i.e. your ability to either create a solution for your customers or lead them to one. So if perception is reality, or if at least it has something to do with it, business growth must include growing your reputation.

Business growth also includes expanding your products and services or expanding your target markets, or some combination of each. This must be done very carefully of course, considering the classic and valid argument that “you can’t be all things to all people”. However, customer needs and wants are constantly changing and so are attitudes toward change, with an increasing willingness among customers to try something new. So in order to capture the market, businesses should continue to cater the needs of the market it is targeting.

Status of five management factors at current stage:

We have conducted a questionnaire and interview to the CEO of the company and other departmental heads. We asked questions about the five management factors, based on the discussion the status of these factors are as follows. Management Style:

Ghar Pyara Company is following the functional style of management. The Company is grouped by areas of specialty within different functional areas i.e. Finance, Marketing, Human Resource, Production and Research & Development.

All departments are operating in integrated manner and there is effective flow of communication between the departments. The company is decentralized up to a certain level and the carpenters are also empowered to make decision at the time of manufacturing while keeping in mind the customers. A very brief description of departments is as follows. a) Research & Development:

The Ghar Pyara Company has a proper R&D department which is the core of their success at this stage. As it is very important for a furniture business to be creative and innovative in order to be competitive. Research and development is a passion at Ghar Pyara- a catalyst for growth that has been realized over the years and is foreseen in the future. Being a firm believer in hand on management Agha Zia Ali Khan spearheads the R&D function himself as his first responsibility as he believes that time and cost investment in R&D have a high return both in terms of delivering superior quality products to the public and in doing so enhancing the quality of life and strengthening the company’s brand equity. b) Production:

The function of production department is very important in furniture industry as it is the core of every furniture industry. It important for every production department to have certain production standards so that they can check the quality of the product.

A marketing department of the company interacts with people on all sides of a business, from top-level management to end-users. The marketing staff is responsible for managing the company’s promotional activities, taking into account the needs of staff, customers, and the demands of the market with effective marketing, any company can boost its sales, profits and growth. The company is operating its marketing department but still they are not on very effective track to market their products and to attract distributors. They have to have a better marketing approach to meet up demands in future. Now the marketing department is effectively communicating value of the Company’s products to the customers and extensively promoting the products through different channels like website, catalogs etc. Through effective strategies they are stimulating demand for their products. d) Human Resource:

Company also have human Resource department but it is not a formal department. The Admin manager is also performing the role of HR manager. There are no formal HR practices in the company but to some extent they are performing the basic functions of HR like training and empowering the employees. e) Finance:

The most common function of the finance department comprises the documentation and the controlling of incoming and outgoing cash flows as well as the actual handling of the cash flows. Another major function the finance department assumes is the budgeting and performance evaluation. It could be seen as planning/forecasting and controlling/evaluating. This gives the financial department and the senior management useful tools to see how
the company is performing at any given time. The finance department of Ghar Pyara is also responsible for the payment of bills, wages and salaries. Extent of formal system:

The extent of formal is well satisfactory as it is told by the manager. Most of the operations of the company are well structured as it is the demand of the time. There are many systems and control procedures in the company which are relatively formal to the size of company. There is a proper quality control system in the company that ensures that ensures that the products should be according to the set standards. After discussion with the owner, we came to know that they are so much conscious about the quality of the products and in order to make products more users friendly, they periodically review their quality control system. They also told us about the health and safety system of employees. Business and owner/ owner’s involvement:

The Company is being run as a family business, and it is a “private limited company”. It is basically owned by 4 brothers. Among them one being CEO and the remaining are acting as the directors of four majors departments. By interviewing the owners of company we have came to know that from the start of business they had worked for at least 12 hours a day in company. They had operated and supervised each and every department from production to distribution on their own. And till to the date they are very much involved in business this can be proved by the centralized decision making process of the company. Four of them being the department heads of four major departments are supervising the business as their first priorities that may be one of the best reasons of their growth and success.
