Define and explain about competitive strategy and marketingcontrol process. |
|
Answer» Marketing controlis theprocessof monitoring the proposed plans as they proceed and adjusting where necessary. ...Controlinvolves measurement, evaluation, and monitoring. Resources are scarce and costly so it is important tocontrol marketingplans.Controlinvolves setting standards. Competitive Strategyis defined as the long term plan of a particular company in order to gaincompetitiveadvantage over itscompetitorsin the industry. It is aimed at creating defensive position in an industry and generating a superior ROI (Return on Investment). A marketing plan establishes the goals and tactics of every marketing campaign. It keeps everyone in your organization on the same page about the direction and purpose of your marketing efforts. A marketing plan also provides a way for you to measure your success. Without a plan, you won’t really know whether you’re succeeding. While every individual campaign should have a plan, your company also needs a strategic marketing plan to guide your overall efforts. A strategic plan identifies your business goals, the marketplace in which you compete, your target audience, the ways you want to reach them, and how you will evaluate your success. It integrates everything you say and do to grow your company. A strategic marketing plan is not a static document that gets tossed in a drawer once it’s written. Instead, a plan is a living document that guides your work and is regularly updated to reflect changes in your business, your customers, and your competition. The process of developing a strategic marketing plan is crucial to your business. You cannot create strategic marketing without strategic thinking. This planning helps you clarify your goals and identify where you see your business in the future, which ultimately strengthens your strategy. A strategic marketing planning process also helps with: Providing a clear map of your company’s goals and how to achieve them. Getting all stakeholders to share a common goal and a have a common understanding of your company’s opportunities and challenges. Identifying and meeting customer needs with the right products in the right places. Growing your market share and product lines, leading to more revenue. Enabling smaller companies to compete with bigger firms |

What was the impact of colonial rule in the evolution democratic institutions and ideas in India? |
|
Answer» The political impact of the colonial regime In the scholarship of the 1960s, 1970s and much of the 1980s, the emergence of an Indian nationalist movement appears as the result of western, English-language education and the formation of new professions in urban areas--the emergence of an Indian, urban middle class. In the late 1980s and in the 1990s, recent scholarship finds the process of the development of a nationalist consciousness to be more complex, to be the result of a new relationship between state and society. It is in the transition from Hindic-Islamicate polities to the colonial regime that we find reasons for the emergence of new types of political organizations and new types of political consciousness in India. The decline of the old regime The political universe for former chiefs and little kings which survived British pacification was severely altered as imperial consolidation took place. The former chiefs and little kings no longer were the center of systems of political and religious ideas where they shared ruling status and ruling authority with the gods and goddesses which ruled the universe. In precolonial India there had been no "civil society" no large social sphere of human interaction which was separate from the state. All institutions of rule from the village level up were loosely linked in ritual networks which focused on the sharing of authority between ruling men and divinities. Political and religious rituals in villages and ideas of authority were modelled, more or less, on the rituals of royal courts and the great temples. With the consolidation of the colonial regime, there was a political revolution when one considers the fate of the ideological structures of the old regime. What was left of networks of ritual and patronnage became warped. The colonial state took the monopoly of force and assumed responsibility for the management of major conflicts. The former ruling elites lost their status as the protectors of communities. Former ruling families tried to maintain what they could of their former status and honor, building palacial mansions and spending lavishly. They continued to engage in conflict over succession to ruling titles and honor, but these conflicts were managed in colonial courts of law, not the battlefield. In the course of the 19th century Indian ideologies of rule--monarchical cosmologies--became fragmented. No integrated system of Indian political ideology survived the political disruption of colonial rule. Nationalist leaders at the end of the 19th century would not look to Indian kingly traditions, but to Western models of liberal democracy as they thought about the future of an Indian nation. |

Between June 1793 and the end of July 1794, there were 16,594 official death sentences in France, of which 2,639 were in Paris The British considered forests as wildernesses which must be brought under cultivation to enhance the income of the state. ...

9.Discuss the challenges now agricultural sector faces in India. |
|
Answer» 1. Small and fragmented land-holdings: Irrigation becomes difficult on small and fragmented fields. Further, a lot of fertile agricultural land is wasted in providing boundaries. Under such circumstances, the farmer cannot concentrate on improvement. 2. Seeds: Good quality seeds are out of reach of the majority of farmers, especially small and marginal farmers mainly because of exorbitant prices of better seeds. 3. Manures, Fertilizers and Biocides: Indian soils have been used for growing crops over thousands of years without caring much for replenishing. This has led to depletion and exhaustion of soils resulting in their low productivity.4. Irrigation: India cannot achieve sustained progress in agriculture unless and until more than half of the cropped area is brought under assured irrigation. 5. Lack of mechanisation: In spite of the large scale mechanisation of agriculture in some parts of the country, most of the agricultural operations in larger parts are carried on by human hand using simple and conventional tools and implements like wooden plough, sickle, etc. |

Discuss the broad challenges to democracy |
|
Answer» Corruption and Inefficiency In many democratic countries, the political leaders, officers, tend to be corrupt, dishonest and inefficient. They ask for the bribe. This results in lack of trust of the citizens. This affects the working of democracy in the country very badly. Role of Anti-Social Elements The role of anti-social elements arises during the elections. A lot of people are forced or bribed to vote for a particular candidate or party. Rigging also takes place during elections. Growing Economic and Social Inequalities Among People There is a lot of socioeconomic inequalities amongst the people. Although all the citizens have the right to vote and fight elections only rich people have a chance to win the election. Casteism and Communalism During elections, a large number of voters give weight to the caste and religion of the candidate. Political parties also keep in mind the caste or religion of a person while distributing tickets for the election. Representatives elected on the basis of caste or religion work for the welfare of the people belonging only to their caste or religion. Question For You Q1. Which of the following is needed for the success of democracy? RegionalismCasteismLinguismLiteracySol: The correct answer is the option ”d”. The greatest defect in the working of democracy lies in the fact that the masses in whom the power is vested are mostly uneducated, in the third world countries. They do not properly comprehend the political problems of their country and the value of their votes. Lack of consciousness is dangerous in a democracy. Without a spirit of reasonableness, democracy is bound to degenerate into mob rule. This defect can be remedied by universal education and wide dissemination of knowledge. |

state the difference between FPTP and proportional representation system of election |
|
Answer» First Past the Post In India, all key representatives except President, Vice President, Members of Rajya Sabha and Members of state legislative council are elected via FPTP system. In recent times, questions have been raised as in 2014 election, NDA won only 31% of the total votes cast and that, therefore, 69% of those who voted did not vote in favor. Due to this system, the groups of parties which managed to get less than 50% of the total votes polled have managed to get more than 75% of the total seats in the parliament. The argument is that due to FPTP, certain groups of people will never get a share in the power structure. Proportional Representation (PR) Proportional representation (PR) is a concept in which the number of seats won by a party or group of candidates isproportionate to the number of votes received. |

what are the various challenges to free and fair election? |
|
Answer» elections are the process by which representatives of people are elected to power. Once elected, these representatives decide the course of development and formulate policies for same. It is therefore imperative that elections are unbiased. But their are various challenges involved :- Money and muscle power- Fighting elections are costly affair as candidates spend money on promotion by organising big political rallies, advertisements in print and electronic media etc. The limit on this expenditure is around Rs 70 lacs and Rs 28 lacs for lok sabha and state legislative assemblies respectively. It is common knowledge that the expenditure on ground is way more and this results in creating a barrier for those who lack resources. Political parties find it preferable to give tickets to those who can fund themselves and the more deserving is robbed of opportunity. A study by Centre for media studies estimated that in 2014 Lok Sabha elections around 30000 cr was spent. Use of unaccounted money is prevalent in elections and this opens opportunities for vested interests to support candidates who once elected can return the favour thus criminalisation of politics. Steps are being taken by Election Commission in this regard like mandatory filing of election expenditure, flying squads etc. In 2016, Tamilnadu assembly elections, ECI deferred polls to two constituencies on evidence that large scale money was being used to influence voters. The menace is big and more is needed so that democracy can function as it is intended. |

2. Most countries often claim themselves to be democraticbyconductingelectionHow did this happen in the context of Myanmar and Libya? AS) |
|
Answer» The Inevitable Practice of the Office of the ProsecutorIt was not clear in 2002 how the court would function precisely because of the multitude of challenges it faced. Eleven years later only some of those questions have been resolved. [...] It is clear, however, that theICCis an institution with the capacity to change habits and outcomes. We may be seeing the start of that in Kenya today, where the electoral violence of 2007 has thankfully not been repeated, perhaps because of its ongoing intervention which was a major topic throughout the political campaign. Established institutions condition the conduct of their leaders and those who work within their structures. New institutions, however, are conditioned by the personalities and characteristics of their first leaders and staffs, as they lack existing institutional controls and cultures.1This was clearly the case with the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its prosecutorial division, the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP), and an understanding of the Court requires an appreciation of the circumstances of their creation and first 11 years of operation. Since its inception in July 2002, theOTPhas faced two primary critiques: first that it has been inefficient, and second that it has preoccupied itself with Africa and failed to investigate equally severe conflicts elsewhere. These criticisms do not arise in a vacuum, however, and must be understood within the context of the court’s recent creation, administrative and personnel challenges, legal impediments imposed by theRome Statute,and external pressure to prosecute as many cases as possible in order to satisfy its value-oriented goal of “guarantee[ing] lasting respect for and the enforcement of international justice.”2These factors have made the choices of the prosecutor largely inevitable, although future practice must be reformed. |

4.Give an account of the religious literature produced during ancient Ind |
|
Answer» . Sanskrit Kavya: Like other countries the epics constitute an important aspect of the Sanskrit literature in India. Two important epics were produced during the ancient times viz. Mahabharata and Ramayana. These epics or long poems originated from the heroic stories sung at the time of great sacrifices during the Vedic age. It may be noted that these epics were not written at one time by any single author and they were touched and retouched by different writers from time to time. Usually the authorship of Ramayana is assigned to Valmiki and that of Mahabharata to Ved Vyasa. The Ramayana is known as the Adi Kavya (the earliest narrative poem). It contains 24,000 verses and is divided into seven books. The work deals with the central theme of the conflict between Rama and Ravana in a simple and direct form without indulging in the literary gymnastics so common among later classical writers. Rama, the hero of Ramayana, has been portrayed as a perfect individual whose irreproachable life in his different roles— as son, husband, brother, friend, king, etc. has served as a model for the people of India for all these ages. The grandeur of the theme, the delicate literary embellishment, the majestic serenity with which the vicissitudes of the hero are described and the sustained elegance of poetic genius make the Ramayana one of the finest specimens of Kavya literature in Sanskrit literature. The Mahabharata is the bulkiest epic consisting of I00,000 verses and is divided into 18 paravas (books). This book is usually assigned to Rishi Ved Vyasa, but scholars have expressed doubts if such a voluminous work could have been accomplished by one single person. Hopkins believes that it was composed by not one person, nor even by one generation, but by several. The epic tells us about the great civil war between the Kurus and Pandavas fought at Kuruksetra, near Delhi. It also contains a large number of other episodes and interpolations. It is considered as a treasure- house of India’s national tradition, a great encyclopedia of ethics and religion, or politics and morals. The style of Mahabharata is direct and vivid, though it contains many often repeated cliches and stock epithets, which are typical of traditional epic literature everywhere. The chief characters have been delineated in very simple outlines, which makes them look real persons. Some of the interpolated episodes in Mahabharata are also of considerable merit. Santi Parvan, one of the longest episodes, is a dissertation on statecraft and ethics, though not of much literary value. “These two Epics not only supplied the later poets with inexhaustible material for an elaborate treatment but the Ramayana, in particular, also furnished them with the models for the ornate style which developed in various ways in their hands. The influence of these two great works on Sanskrit literature in general and on the kavya literature in particular is but too well known.” Certain specimens of the earliest extent specimens of kavya are found in the Mahabhashya of Patanjali, which is dated about the middle of the second century B.C. Patanjali mentions two dramatic poems—Kamsavadha and Bali-bandhana, which have unfortunately not come down to us. Pingala, a known sage, is credited with Chhandahsutra, in which he deals with both Vedic and classical metres. Though this work cannot be dated with certainty, it shows that poetical literature had considerably developed even before he wrote this work. It seems improbable that Pingala created the different metres. On the other hand it is more probable that he recorded and defined accurately the various metres already in use in literature. The earliest Sanskrit poetry which has survived and come down to us is that of the Buddhist writer Asvaghosa, who is believed to be a contemporary of Kanishka and most probably lived in the first century A.D. Of his numerous works, the Buddha Charita and Saundarananda are most popular. The former is a Mahakavya dealing with the life of Buddha from his birth to his triumph over Mara. The latter describes how the handsome prince Suadara took to the life of a Buddhist monk much against the will and to the grief of his beautiful wife, who loved him dearly. Ashvaghosha was a combination of a great poet and a religious teacher. Therefore he was successful in developing the grand themes in grand style. His works are also remarkable for the spontaneity and force of his language, poetic charm and realism. He, however, lacked the technical skill and subtlety of the later poets. |
