ENTREPRENEURSHIP
A French word entrepreneur meaning between- taker or go-between. Marco Polo who attempted to establish trade routes to the far East. As a go between he would sign contracts with a money person to sell his goods. As a merchant-adventurer he took the active role in trading, bearing physical and emotional risk. While the capitalist was the passive risk taker.

Doing new things or doing things that are already being done in a new way is therefore a simple definition of entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship can be described as a creative and innovative response to the environment. Such responses can take place in any field of social endeavour business agriculture, education, social work and the like.

QUALITIES OF ENTERPRENEUR
Entrepreneurs are quick to see possibilities for achievements, unlike managers in large sedate organizations where they are generally blinded by the in-grown culture.

Entrepreneur & Interpreneur

Entrepreneur/Interpreneur
An Entrepreneur operates in an open world. An Intrapreneur operates within an organization fighting with bureaucratic hurdles and inertia in the organization to keep the Entrepreneurial spirit alive. He is an internal entrepreneur in an organization.

14

Entrepreneur/Interpreneur
Intrepreneurship is the development, within a large corporation, of internal markets and relatively small autonomous or semiautonomous business units, producing products, services or technologies that employ the firms resources in a unique way. Intrepreneurship gives the manager of a corporation the freedom to take initiative and try new Ideas. It is entrepreneurship within an existing business.

15

Entrepreneur/Interpreneur
Companies recognize that an individual could make major contributions without becoming a manager-by inventing or making technical breakthroughs. Many innovative companies-IBM, Tektronic, EM and Texas Instrument created a second career path through which inventor could win prestige and salary increase without assuming Managerial roles.

16

Entrepreneur/Interpreneur
Intrepreneruship offered a third career path to bridge the gap between a manager and an inventor. Like entrepreneurs they are not necessarily in a new product or service their contribution is in taking new ideas and even working prototype and turning them into profitable products and business.

17

Entrepreneur/Interpreneur
When the ideas have become solid and functioning business, intrapreneurs tend to grow bored, proven managers are need to take over to maintain and develop the business while they go back to build new ventures for others to manage. Intrapreneurship is corporate entrepreneurship whereby an organization seeks to expand by exploring new opportunities through new combinations of it existing resources. A tool for stimulating and capitalizing on individuals who believe that something can be done differently and in a better way.

18

Advantages of Intrapreneurship.

Intrapreneurial ideas offer a way to build onto or improve the corporate business. Capital for ideas is easy to come from internal sources within a corporate identity. The established corporate image helps to boost the chances of success of an intpreneurial idea. Corporates offer continuing access to the organizational proprietary technology to stay competitive. Corporates offer economies of scale in marketing distribution and services. Unique advantage of multidisciplinary team work. Interpreneur retains job security as well as enjoys freedom of prosperity.

Research & Development-R&D efforts are key sources for successful new product ideas. It is an investment for sustainability & growth. Funding-corporate venture funds.If a co can invest in other companies, why cant they invest in ideas of their own employees. Creating a climate-define what a intrapreneurial culture means in different parts of their organization & appropriate for their industry.

20

Creating Intrapreneurial Environment


Training-for employees at different levels on how to behave in accordance with intrapreneurial values and motivational factors. Developing creativity through brain storming session and other means. Most organization encourage idea that has a strategic fit with the company. Reward System-well defined transparent reward system. Stock Option appears to be the best and most widely accepted approach. While rewarding success, the failure should not be harshly penalized.

21

Creating Intrapreneurial Environment


Multi-disciplinary Team: An Idea can be converted into an enterprise only by critically viewing all aspects. Organizations have to allocate people from different function for an intrapreneurial project and reabsorb them after the project. Commitment-by top,upper & middle management levels for intrapreneurship in order to undergo the cultural climate change necessary for implementation. A long term horizon should be set to evaluate the success of the programme. HP, Dupont AT&T Xerox G.E, Ranbaxy Levers, Telco, M&M, Godrej, Infosys, Satyam computers are companies were transformation is brought about by intrapreneurship

Nature & Development of Entrepreneurship


Entrepreneurship collectively has the power to change the destiny of family, city, state or country. Punjab & Haryana has high economic growth as compared to other states like Bihar,Orissa because of strong entrepreneurial base. Individuals in economically backward states search for jobs. South Indian states are catching up on entrepreneurial activity which can speed up economic growth in current decade.28

Nature & Development of Entrepreneurship


Earlier entrepreneur were Marwaris,Baniyas SIDC & SISI has made some efforts to train entrepreneur. Short term courses have been conducted by them to develop capabilities in entrepreneurs. There have shortcomings in these projects.

Nature & Development of Entrepreneurship


Reasons for limited success in Nurturing Entrepreneurship. General Lack of Entrepreneurs in the country. Rural India people prefer jobs to self employment Need for research and re-strategizing developmental schemes. Candidates selected for these courses are the ones who have failed to get a job. Qualified men seek government jobs Unemployed people lack experience and ability to perceive the project and build the enterprise. They are more likely to fail strengthening belief to take up jobs.

Nature & Development of Entrepreneurship


Source for ample supply of entrepreneurs could be management institutes. Business schools need to re-orient management education in India. Presently producing administrative managers whereas developing countries like ours need entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship should be made a compulsory subject & cases on successful entrepreneurs should be presented in these courses.

Nature & Development of Entrepreneurship

Project work on entrepreneurial venture should be introduced-could be a feasibility report. In AIMs Manila students do not pass unless they submit a xerox copy of cheque issued by Bank approving the feasibility report prepared by him. Talks by successful entrepreneurs should be organized Emerging entrepreneurs from sunrise industry should be call for such talks. Encourage students to generate new ideas for launching new ventures specially in new technology areas. Talks by successful entrepreneur- alumni will be more impactful in nurturing entrepreneurship.

Nature & Development of Entrepreneurship


Institute should start Entrepreneurship centres to do research on the subject and recommend policy measures to strengthen entrepreneurship in management student. IIT has established such a centre to convert engineers into entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs should preferably start with trading/marketing/service providing, with less capital need and less risk and avoid temptation of building. Once he has the feel of the market then he could backward integrate.

BUSINESS PLAN

Business Plan

industrial estate. Whether the land is owned or leased. In case the project is being set up in an approved industrial area indicate whether permission has been taken. If the project is not to be set up in approved industrial area, then indicate whether a NOC has been obtained from the local Municipal corporation.

Project Description
Some suggestion on the choice of location-

depending on the type of industry. Demand based industry-the location must be near the market. Resource based industry- must be closed to the resource (sugar industry) Skill based industry- must be closed to the skill center (carpet weaving, diamond )

Project Description
Physical infrastructure facilities available. Raw material-whether imported or locally available,

licensed or control. The price, availability & method of procurement of the Raw Material. Availability of skilled labor communication & transport facilities, power & fuel. Availability of water. Method of waste disposal. How environmental hazards are handled-water & air pollution.

Project Description
Technology selected whether indigenous or

imported. If imported, mention the name of the foreign collaborator and method of technology transfer. Details of the manufacturing process-draw the production flow chart. If the manufacturing process is known, then mention the following. Machine required for each sub process. Their specification ,cost and capacity Balancing equipment required and their cost. Quality control method to obtain ISI or Agmark(food industry) certification.

Market Potential
This section must contain following information. The total demand & supply position at present.

Future demand & supply position.


The demand supply gap. In case demand is greater

than supply mention how this will affect profitability. The expected price-with justification. If price is more than the competitors-justify how the high price has been arrived at and why the product will sell at that price.This information may be required by the banks- to know how the high price could be realized.

Market Potential
How the product is proposed to be sold? What is

the distribution network?Are there any arrangements with the distributors or suppliers. Will you be ancillary for another unit or will your product be sold by a reputed marketing organization under its own name. Proposed after-sales service? Particularly relevant in the consumer durable industry. In case of seasonal items, what would be done during off-season? What will be the warehousing arrangement for such items during off-season. Goods transportation details if the product is bulky or requiring controlled temperature .

Capital cost & Sources of Finance.


There are two types of Capital Costs. One time cost ( Fixed cost) Land building-Plant & Machinery Installation costfurniture/fixtures,vehicles, tools, dies, jigs,etc. Contingency cushion against price rise/ unforeseen expenses Margin of working capital Report should also include present& probable

sources of finance. The sources of fund should equal the cost of a project. The resources of funds would include the owners fund together with loans and deposits raised as well as the limits expected by the financial institutions/banks.

Capital cost & Sources of Finance


Working capital costs. This includes cost incurred in

Raw Material, Work in Progress & Finished goods inventory & accounts receivable. Assessment of working Capital.
Planning working capital is crucial. Most units fall sick

because of inadequate assessment of working capital requirements. The Account receivable a component of working capitalaverage credit period need to be calculated on the basis of industry average. The entrepreneurs assess the working capital requirements in their own way this has a problem as the banks have their own assessment. Hence it is a good idea to calculate the working capital requirements according to the bank formats.

Other financial Aspects


The other aspects to be included in the Business Plan. Prepare the projected Balance Sheet.

Prepare the projected Profit & Loss Account


Prepare the cash flow statement. Calculate the Break Even point. BE=FX100

F=Fixed cost, (S-V) S= Sales at Full capacity V=Variable cost

Other financial Aspects


Calculate & Indicate the following ratios in the plan. 1)Profitability ratio = Net Profits X 100

Sales

2)Return on Investment= Net profits X 100


Capital employed

Other financial Aspects


Debt : Equity ratio = Debt
EQUITY

Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)

= Net Profit after tax+ Depreciation+Interest for one year Installments + Interest (for one year) The DSCR indicates to the banker or the financial institution about the capacity of the unit to repay it loan installment and interest. TSCR must work out to 2:1

Economic and Social Variables

What is the proposed indigenisation programme? Ancillary: If any work would be subcontracted, what will be the level of ancillary and additional employment thus generated

Economic and Social Variables


It would be wise to include details of the plant

layout. Because ultimately, the business plan must serve as blueprint for the entrepreneur and a plant layout would be very useful to him. The plan implementation schedule must be mentioned. For SSIs however it would suffice to include a simple plan implementation schedule.

Economic and Social Variables

Management of Working Capital


Working capital is that part of the capital which is invested in the working or current assets like stock or raw material semi finished goods, Sundry debtors, bill receivable etc. This capital is also known as circulating capital or revolving capital. Working capital is used for financing current assets ie. the day to day business needs. Also used for purchasing raw materials. A major portion of the capital lies in the business in the form of semi-finished, finished goods & cash.

Management of Working Capital


Working capital is also required for payment of wages & salaries,overhead expenses like power, rent taxes repairing & maintenances of machinery. The amount in respect of goods sold on credit (sundry Debtors) represent a vital portion of working capital. Classification of working capital. Regular working capital-meeting continuous day-to-day business needs of the firm, it is re-invested in business. It is called as fixed or regular working capital. Variable working capital-not regular, not static but required to meet periodic or seasonal rise in quantity of goods produced. This is called seasonal working capital. Special working capital-need on special occasion viz increasing price of raw materials, business recession, strike or failure of machinery, fire etc.

Management of Working Capital


Working Capital is classified as
Gross Working Capital: Total of all current Assets. Net Working Capital:Difference between Total Current Assets & Total Current Liabilities.

On going review of Gross Working capital is essential for efficient management of current Assets. Long-Term View we have to concentrate on net working capital.

Management of Working Capital


Net working capital of a healthy unit should be positive. Periodic study on changes in net working capital is necessary. Changes in net working capital can be measured in terms of value as also in percentage by comparing current assets, current liabilities & working capital over a given period.This involves basic approach to working capital analysis.

Deployment of Working Capital is called Operating cycle Stage V Sundry Debtors Receivables Stage I Cash Stage II Raw Material

OPERATING CYCLE
Stage IV Finished Goods Stage III Stock in process

Management of Working Capital


Operating cycle is also called the cash to cash cycle. Working Capital is the total cash that is circulating in this cycle. It also becomes clear that working capital cash be turned over, or reused after completing the cycle. Therefore Management of Working Capital means, apart from finding out the source of meeting capital requirements, ways of reducing the cycle time for optimum results.

Management of Working Capital


The following factors forms a force affecting the working capital needs:
Nature of business Production policies Manufacturing process Growth & expansion of business Business cycle fluctuations Terms of Purchase and sales Withdrawal by promoters etc.

For an industry there are likely to be periodic changes in any or all of the above. Therefore management of working capital becomes a dynamic activity.

Management of Working Capital


Working Capital requirements are met through internal as well as external source. Major external source is the Banking system. Bank offers various types of credit facilities for meeting the financial requirements like
Credit against inventory holdings. Book debts & bills receivable. export finance (Pre-shipment & Post-shipment credits)Certain contingent facilities like issuing letter of credit & guarantees are also offered by them.

Management of Working Capital


Working capital requirements above 10 Lakhs are required to comply with norms laid by Tandon committee & chore committee which is accepted by Reserve Bank of India. Tandon committee : Important features
Classification of Industry and fixation of inventory/receivables norms Application of Margin & eligibility of borrowing:
In order to avoid double financing, the committee recommended that only a part of the working capital gap(current assets-current liabilities excluding bank borrowings) could be financed by the banks

Management of Working Capital


Tandon committee suggested 3 methods for computing the maximum permissible level of bank borrowings.
Method 1. Bank would finance 75% of the WC gap the remaining 25% to come from long term sources such as owned funds or term borrowing. Method 2. Borrower should provide 25% of the gross current assets through long term source & the rest to be provided by trade credit, other current liabilities & the bank Method 3.Similar to 2 further stipulates that the core current assets should be taken out from the current assets separately funded from long term sources.

Also recommended submission of periodic statements regarding operation of the units for the purpose of effective monitoring & supervision by banks.

Management of Working Capital


Chore committee norms-important recommendations.
The borrower enjoying aggregate working capital limits of Rs. 50 lakhs and over require to conform to second method of lending prescribed by Tandon committee which would give a minimum current ratio of 1.33. Borrower would be required to submit to the bank quarterly requirement of funds on the basis of his budget & provide periodical information of the actual performance vis--vis the estimates. Liberalized Norm: A new norm to compute Working capital introduced in 1992 with ceiling enhanced from time to time. SSI units having aggregate WC requirement upto 1 Crore. The bank calculates the limit on the basis of simple calculation of 20% of their annual turnover. This is for units having turnover less the 5 crores per annum.

Financial Forecasting
A systematic projection of the expected actions of the management in the form of financial statements, budgets etc. Process involves use of past records, funds flow behavior, financial ratios and expected economic conditions in the industry as a whole as well as the unit. A working plan formulated for a specific period by arranging future activities.

Advantages of financial forecasting


Enables optimum utilization of funds Helps in planning the units growth & in setting performance goals. Anticipate financial needs & reduce adhoc & emergency decision. Good basis not only for negotiating confidently with banks/financial institution. These projected statement provide and important base for financial reasonable estimate of revenue, costs, profits, taxes,other uses & sources of funds.

Projected Profit & Loss statement


Statement begins with the estimate of the expected sales for the forecast period . The purposes of this statement is to have a fair & reasonable estimate of expected revenue, costs, profits, taxes etc..

Projected Balance Sheet


Forecast of expected funds flow of each item therein. Various items of assets & liabilities of the projects balance sheet are explained below. Assets:
Cash: There is an assumption for a minimum level of cash or liquid funds desired at the end of the period of forecasting. It can also be a balancing of assets & liabilities

Projected Balance Sheet


Trade Debtors: Magnitude of debtors is closely linked to sales.Based on past trend/performance, expected credit policy & the pattern of future clientele, a certain number of days debtors or receivables is expected to be outstanding. Thus to forecast debtors one has to study historical data about the industry,market conditions and nature of customers.

Projected Balance Sheet


Inventories:estimate of inventories is prepared on the basis of past operating data together with an examination of future policies. It involves analysis of the additions to opening stocks, purchases & productions of goods during the period and reduction therein through use & sale.

Projected Balance Sheet


Fixed Assets: Outlays for factory building, plant & machinery are generally planned in advance. Adjustments have to be made for additions and sales of the old assets. Adequate provision for depreciation should be made year by year to generate funds for replacement of the relative assets.

Projected Balance Sheet


Liabilities
Trade creditors-creditors can be estimated by analyzing schedules of purchase payment maturing during the period or by calculating the ratio of accounts payable to purchases. Loans & advances-This is usually the balancing figure to equalize assets and liabilities

Projected Balance Sheet


Accrued Liabilities- These are arrived at by analyzing the pattern of wage payments, the tax dues, interest obligation & repayment of loans. Provision for taxes- will be found by starting with the opening balance of the provision for taxes, adding the new provision for taxes & deducting the actual payment of taxes.

Cash Management
Cash flow statements will forecast the probable time of receiving cash from sales and estimate the time after which the bills are paid. Projected cash flow statement show all cash receipts from every source as they are expected to be received and of cash payments by the business as there are to be made.

Cash Management
Importance of cash flow Statement Cash flow gives the following
A list of bills giving details on how much is due and when it is due A schedule of anticipated cash receipt. A schedule of priorities for the payment of accounts Estimate of the amount of money needed to borrow in order to finance day to day operations. This is perhaps the most important aspect of a complete cash flow projections

Cash Management
Format for planning the most effective use of your cash. A measure of the effects of unexpected changes in circumstance ie loss of many bids, bankruptcy of general contractor or a developer strikes, poor estimate etc. An outline to show the financer the sufficient cash to make loan payments, if there any plans to borrow money on a long term basis.

Cash Management
Preparation of Cash Flow statement involves six basic steps.
Estimate cash receipts for the budget period. Estimate cash disbursement for the budget period. Calculate the net cash inflow (or outflow) Add in cash on hand at the beginning of the month Compute cash balance (or shortages) Project amount of loans necessary. A cash flow statement is normally prepared for twelve months. It is computed on an on-going basis and is revised as the situation changes. It assist in financial planning, inventory purchases & formulating credit & collection policies. It serves as an early indicator when expenses are getting out of line.

Estimating your operating cash requirements


Cash flow statements estimate the amount of money required to be borrowed to finance the day to day operation. When the cash flow statement is ready we realize how much operating capital must be injected into business by doing the following calculation. Identify your initial bank loans balance or overdraft before the start of the year. Proceeding month by month add the increase or deduct decrease in your operating bank loan to determine the monthly operating loan balance. Identify the highest operating balance, this represent the minimum operating loan or line of credit that should be obtained

Break-even Analysis
Break even analysis also called cost-volume profit analysis helps in finding out the relationship of cost & revenue to the output. The analysis can be done only after calculating the Break even Point BEP. BEP is defined as that level of sales at which the total cost equals total revenue ie the sales level at which there is no profit or no loss. BEP is calculated using the following formula: BEP= fixed expense/contribution per unit where the contribution is sales minus variable cost per unit.This will be in units. BEP=fixed expense* sales/Total contribution where contribution is the total sales minus the total variable expense.This will be in Rupees.

Break-even Analysis
For calculating BEP, it is essential to classify the expense into fixed expenses and variable expenses. The break-even point shows the level of sales at which there is no profit or loss.This information is of immense use to the units because it gives the minimum level at which the unit should operate, at given cost and price to start generating profits.

Break-even Analysis

Break-even Analysis
Break even analysis is useful in the following areas: Determining product mix. This is done by knowing the contributions of different products and choosing the products in such a way the the total contribution is maximized. Make or buy decisions. If the variable cost is less than the price that has to be paid to an outside supplier, it may be better to manufacture than buy. Knowing profits at given sales volume and finding the effects of changes in fixed and variable costs to profits. In case of SSI units it is essential that the break-even point is as low as possible. This can be ensured by minimizing the fixed expenses or increasing the contribution. However the contribution is dependent on market condition, it is necessary to keep the fixed expenses at the minimum level.

Venture Capital Financing


Venture Capital Plays an important role in financing small-scale enterprises, particularly Innovative ones where the growth prospects are high but the risk factor is equally high. Investment is needed at any stage of implementation of the project between start-up and commencement of commercial production. It is recognized as an industry by itself in the developed countries in the early 1960 and is established in India also now.

Venture Capital Financing


Venture capital providers offer services like
Development of the business Approval of project ideas Financial assistance Overall management expertise

The main features of venture capital financing can be listed as:


Long term source of investment. Usual period is 5 to 10 years. Venture capital firms in most situation insist on quality participation through direct purchase of shares or convertible securities. Ensures continuous participation of venture capitalist in the management of the entrepreneurs business.

Features of venture capital financing


Provides services of marketing management of technology and developing appropriate organization structure. Venture capitalist comes into the game when it is not easy to access funds from the conventional sources. Business must have a high potential of growth. Venture Capitalist is not averse to the risk. The flow of fund from the venture capitalist is in a phased manner and can be in the form of debt also in the initial stage. Venture capitalist is not a permanent equity holder.
