This is a real Story..
Once there was News Paper Company called "AAA AAAAA" which was No.1 Indian News paper Company in India. It was having its wings all over India and worldwide. In fact, Indians settled worldwide read only this News Paper, because of the reason that, its News were very authentic, having Indian flavor and non biased.
The News Paper Company had 3 shifts working with the latest Efficient Machines to print the paper. Even though the volume of the Print touched in millions, printing time was reduced because of Efficient Machines and its error free performance. hence,for almost 2 shifts, the machines where were kept free by the Management.
Seeing this, the Top Management Team suggested to the Proprietor of the Company that, to get more printing work for those Machines,which were free for longer duration. Instead of increasing the Circulation of their own News Paper, they have suggested to the Proprietor to get orders from Other Print Media Companies from various Countries, which were struggling to lay their foot in India, to increase their printing capacity due to lack of Efficient Machines in their Factories and also lack of support from Public.
The Proprietor of Indian Company did not question them back as to what would be the fate of their own News Paper? and without a vision, agreed to his Management Team, and allowed them take up the outsourced work from the Global Print Media. Further the Proprietor from his side, to boost and Cheer up the Global Print Media, accepted to withdraw his own News Paper from some of the neighbouring countries and also reduced his stakes in Indian market, given his rights to New Customers in order to gain their goodwill.
With the suggestions of Management, the Efficient Machines where fully utilised in all the 3 shifts and printed News Paper to their maximum Capacity. Because of the best Quality of Machines work, low cost in production, and peoples need(because of the absence of the original News Paper) other print companies were gained confidence and increased their Circulation and held their feet firmly in Indian soil and also world wide,and their Advertisement revenues rose up suddenly.
Because of the increase in Circulation, other country companies were making huge profits and they have started dictating terms to the Indian News Paper Company, raised their Circulation beyond the capacity of the Efficient Machines. At the same time the Management of Indian Company, without realizing that their Circulations and their Advertisement revenue and the Peoples support were declining down very steeply, they tried to deploy the Efficient Machines to work round the Clock continuously.
The Management with the concurrence from the Proprietor had purchased large Number of New Printing Plants with high cost, without having proper planning, thinking that they can increase their circulation in the countries, where Indians live less in numbers.
The Management's Plans went for a Six, because, they had been dominated completely by other News Paper Companies and people from India and other parts of the world have patronized and were become loyal to other countrys' News Paper companies.
At this point of time, the Top Management and the Proprietor of Indian News Company felt the pinch, because the cash inflow was very weak and were not in a position to pay the Monthly Maintenance Charges for the Efficient Machines, which required full overhauling due to long and continuous work pattern. The Proprietor even postponed the Monthly Maintenance for 03 months and did the Maintenance not in a regular time frame of every 01st day of the Month. Some times he did it on 7th,10th, 15th or 20th of the month.
The Proprietor had to take Loan from the Banks to pay the Monthly Maintenance Charges for his Efficient Machines, which have worked the for the company several decades.
The Proprietor and Management realised their mistakes, but it was too late. The Company was sinking and the Efficient Machines were completely worn out (Demoralised). The Losses were not proportionate to their Annual Turnover.
The Proprietor admitted that it was the Mistakes of both the Management and Proprietor that,
to blame the Machines for their losses,
to allow the other countrys' Print companies to intrude in their territory,
to reduce the Indian Company's Stakes in India,
to withdraw the News paper from the other Countries were Indians live,
to overfeed the company with the new Print Plant with high cost investment and interest exceeding the capacity,
to plan without foreseeing the future of the company.
Is there any hope for the company to survive?
Yes, Still there is....HOPE, If the Proprietor and Management do their plan with the vision and with full interest to revive the company.
The Efficient Machines are still ALIVE and in WORKING CONDITION and ALWAYS READY to DO WORK with FULL THROTTLE....!
HOPE, NO NEED TO EXPLAIN WHICH COMPANY IS THIS AND WHAT IT IS REQUIRED AT THIS MOMENT...!
HOPE THIS MESSAGE WILL REACH THE CONCERNED PERSONS EARS...!
THANKS FOR FORWARDING AND TAKING THIS MESSAGE TO THE CONCERNED TOP MANAGEMENT TEAM AND THE PROPRIETOR....
