About 'erp solutions india'|SMEs & ERP : 3 Cs to be answered before selecting an ERP for SME








Background               and               Overview:               Multinational               enterprises               have               regarded               a               country's               policy               toward               foreign               investment               as               either               hindrance/facilitator               of               higher               return               on               investment               (ROI).

Process               of               development               in               a               given               country,               meanwhile,               is               seen               as               an               important               motor               for               the               boom               or               failure               of               a               project               to               be               invested               [Robinson,               R.

D.,               1997].

Literatures               in               development               and               foreign               investment               would               support               such               claim.

As               such,               an               astute               investor               should               examine               the               policy               toward               foreign               investment               and               the               process               of               development               in               its               potential               host               country.
               Every               country               makes               an               implicit               assumption               about               the               effect               of               foreign               investment               when               it               establishes               policies               toward               would-be               investors.

It               is               a               norm               that               a               government               would               invest               on               researches               to               examine               the               impact               of               foreign               investment               on               certain               aspects               of               their               country's               development.

Researchers               range               from               information               on               the               choices               of               technology               made               by               foreign               investors,               on               the               wages               that               they               pay,               on               their               propensity               to               use               imported               inputs,               on               their               willingness               to               export               and               on               their               alliances               with               local               elites               [Beckman,               M.

&               Butler               C.,               2003].

Thus,               investors               on               the               same               way               should               conduct               thorough               study               of               their               potential               country.
               Companies               investing               in               other               countries               have               always               been               concerned               about               relations               in               the               host               countries.

For               many               years               the               potential               problem               of               expropriation               was               a               significant               concern               to               investors.

In               recent               years,               expropriation               in               the               traditional               sense               has               probably               become               less               of               a               concern.

However,               other               concerns               have               arisen               to               replace               those               of               outright               expropriation.

The               term               "creeping               expropriation"               has               sometimes               been               used               to               depict               a               process               perceived               by               the               investor               as               one               in               which               the               policies               of               the               host               country               in               effect               strangle               an               enterprise               and               accomplish               over               time,               in               a               de               facto               sense,               an               expropriation.

A               company               is               seen               to               have               reached               this               point               when               it               has               virtually               no               control               of               its               capital               resources               or               its               profitability               because               of               rules,               regulations               or               discriminatory               policies               [Robinson,               R.

D.,               1997].
               The               Companies               have               tried               and               are               trying               to               be               aware               of               the               potential               risks               they               would               face               in               a               given               host               country               environment.

They               developed               business               strategies               to               deal               with               this               potential               risks.

It               is               because               of               the               assumption               that               a               business               environment               and               the               rules               and               practices               governing               business               could               be               generally               fairly               stable,               but               with               time               they               may               change               due               to               the               interaction               of               economic,               social               and               political               forces               [Beckman,               M.

&               Butler               C.,               2003].

Thus,               a               need               for               broadened               and               meticulous               assessment               of               business               environment               factors               is               necessary.

The               events               that               occurred               in               Iran               at               the               onset               of               1979               spawned               the               culture               of               investment               in               analysis               before               venturing               into               a               project.

With               the               overthrow               of               the               Shah               in               Iran,               subsequent               negative               experiences               for               many               investing               companies,               especially               those               based               in               the               United               States               pushed               companies               to               be               more               cautious               in               investing.

Companies               are               now               hiring               "experts,"               often               people               retired               from               the               US               Foreign               Service               or               the               Central               Intelligence               Agency,               to               make               political               and               cultural               assessments               of               countries               as               a               part               of               the               strategic               planning               and               management               process.

Understanding               Asia               and               Its               markets:
               As               a               result,               few               multinationals               would               think               of               moving               towards               a               new               market               in               the               United               States               or               in               any               countries               in               Europe               where               they               can               make               the               most.

In               countries               with               open               cultures,               with               abounding               studies               on               businesses               situations,               reaching               investment               decisions               would               not               be               a               challenge.

In               Asia,               however,               more               detailed               dossiers               of               information               about               its               countries,               industries,               markets               and               consumers               is               needed               before               reaching               such               crucial               investment               decisions               [Piazza,               P.

A.,               2002].

The               fact               that               multinationals               were               stepping               onto               a               notoriously               uneven               playing               field               where               the               local               teams               have               a               well-earned               reputation               for               being               sharp               operators,               where               the               culture               was               totally               different               from               any               they               had               known,               where               they               could               not               communicate               with               local               workers,               managers               and               owners               and               where               operating               practices               were               either               vague               or               in               secrecy,               strategies               are               really               important.
               Marketing               in               Asia               has               generally               been               a               weakness               among               multinationals.

A               survey               by               managing               consultants               McKinsey               &               Co.

conducted               in               ten               Asian               countries               in               2000               showed               that               while               75%               of               consumers               in               the               United               States               are               willing               to               pay               for               financial               advices,               less               than               a               quarter               would               in               Asia               [Bartels,               F.

L.

Freeman,               N.

J.,               2004].

As               such,               researches               assumed               that               management               consulting,               information               technology,               employee               training,               marketing,               public               relations,               legal               advice               and               research               and               development               would               not               reach               its               peak               in               most               Asian               countries.

The               low               appreciation               for               services               is               apparent               among               Asian               consumers               too.

Thus,               it               is               apparent               that               investor               should               identify               the               need               of               in               a               country               and               capitalize               on               that               need.
               However,               with               the               advent               of               globalization,               the               need               of               multinational               firms               to               set               up               excellent               information               systems               to               keep               an               eye               on               the               local               competitors               also               increases.

L'Oreal,               the               shampoo,               conditioners               and               hair               coloring               products               of               French               group,               for               example,               employs               a               tiring               strategy.

To               maintain               the               company's               pre-eminent               place               in               the               market,               each               day               hundreds               of               packages               arrive               at               the               hair               care               division's               headquarters               which               are               located               in               Paris               and               so               far               proved               to               be               very               beneficial               for               all               who               wanted               to               avail               this               service.

According               to               them,               they               have               every               new               product               or               item               available               on               the               shelves               for               customers               and               each               of               which               is               regularly               analyzed               and               tested               to               add               to               the               information               store               about               the               content,               the               innovation               and               the               packaging               among               others               [Beckman,               M.

With               an               excellent               information               system,               costs               of               transport               would               be               lessened.

Traditionally,               western               firms               have               left               the               marketing               side               to               their               local               partners               but               the               need               to               build               up               their               own               databases               on               consumer               tastes               and               buying               habits,               for               example               the               bestselling               international               and               local               products,               how               prices               vary               and               how               likely               are               price               wars,               were               seen               as               an               economical               input.
               The               recent               Asian               dot-com               boom               has               also               opened               investment               opportunities               in               the               continent.

Huge               numbers               of               locally               owned               service               sector               firms               spring               up.

Usually               they               were               owned               and               run               by               young               Asian               entrepreneurs               trained               in               the               United               States               and               other               Western               countries.

Educated               about               the               value               of               services,               they               took               the               philosophy               back               home,               set               up               their               new               businesses               and               hoped               for               the               best.

They               targeted               selling               services               to               the               local               offices               of               Western               firms               or               Western               firms               in               the               West               [Bartels,               F.

With               the               low-cost               and               high-grade               skills               of               these               small               firms               together               with               the               speed               of               communications               afforded               by               the               Internet               mean,               application               systems               could               be               a               boom.

Introduction:               "An               application               service               provider               (ASP)               is               a               business               or               services               which               provides               computer-based               services               to               customers               over               a               network               for               availing               customer               response               regarding               the               queries.
