Industry Visit
Before visiting the organization we thought to first know what actually small scale industries are and why they are called small scale industries when their turnover or profit can be at par to medium industries & then we found out that where in large scale industries there can be a large number of workforces here the work is mainly handled by hired labor usually 10-50 hands. There are certain criteria regarding the fixed capital investment which should not exceed 100 lakhs including the plant setup according to government norms.

    It is not in Sealed Air Corporation’s best interest to introduce an uncoated bubble product in the packaging market. The company was built on pioneering and innovation, therefore replicating a competitor’s existing product runs contrary to the firm’s philosophy. Financially, the opportunity is small relative to global packaging sales, and the contribution margin in the uncoated product line will put pressure on the company-wide gross margin.…

    The Box Inc. was established eleven quarters ago to bring a high quality product to the marketplace, filing a void for boxes made out of 100% recycled material. From the outset the aim of the organization was to maximize shareholder wealth and mould the company into a leading manufacturer of packaging material. Having been selected to lead that task, I was honored at the confidence placed in me to guide this new and energetic organization into the competitive world of business. As with all business ventures there are challenges along the way, and we at the Box Inc. had ours to face, namely a machinery fire in Quarter 5 (Q5) and industrial (strike) action in Q7. Both of these scenarios provided minor setbacks but the management team at the Box Inc. did not lose a beat, ensuring that any disruption faced had minimal effect on the organization. The results of these events also placed a toll on our financial performance and a reevaluation of the financial strategy had to be implemented. At the end of Quarter 12, I am pleased to report to the Board of Directors that the Box Inc. has met all of the challenges which came its way and was able to keep the organization in a positive growth level, while maintaining shareholder wealth at a respectable value. It was a pleasure to serve this board during the last twelve quarters and I look forward to the next twelve quarters and the exciting path that lies ahead for this organization.…

    Great Little Box Company (GLBC) is a manufacturer and distributor of custom and stock packaging solutions that specialize in corrugated boxes, custom displays, labels, flexible packaging, folding cartons, rigid boxes and specialty and protective packaging. (GLBC 2013) Owner of GLBC, Robert Meggy, was exposed to the packaging industry in 1982. In the same year, he and his wife, Margaret, purchased a failing box-manufacturing company that later became one of the most successful businesses in corrugated packaging industry. Meggy stated "it doesn't matter what you make, it has to go in a box to be shipped”. When GLBC was established in 1982, it started with “three box-making machines or "presses," two machine operators and a sales representative” (Industry Canada, 2012). The company continues to provide a one-stop shopping center for businesses and consumers to look for packaging supplies, tools, and equipment. In order to accomplish the company’s goal, the company needs to have a well-deployed organizational structure to divide the work and responsibilities equally.…
