When Chandrashekhar Shukla returned to India after completing a Certificate course in Food Quality Assurance and Quality Control from the Netherlands, he was convinced that he would fulfil his grandfather's dream of converting their 58 acre land into a fertile farm. He started by setting out specific goals and laid down related activities to be performed to achieve the goals. Soon he launched his own company 'Food and Agribusiness Solutions Private Limited'.
He sought to ensure that the future events effectively meet the best interest of the company. He prepared an annual statement for production and sales, based on sales forecasting. He noticed that the farmers grew only paddy due to which land remained idle for the subsequent 8 to 9 months of the year. He identified and assessed various alternatives through which farms could be utilised for the remaining months of the year.
Through his accurate vision, judgement and systematic thinking based on analysis of the facts, he presented a scheme to the farmers where both paddy and vegetables could be grown.
Identify and explain the features of one of the functions of Management highlighted above.
