INTRODUCTION

EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT

All outside factors that may affect an organization make up the external environment.

The external environment is divided into two parts . First is Directly interactive. This

environment has an immediate and firsthand impact upon the organization. A new competitor

entering the market is an example. Second is Indirectly interactive . This environment has a

secondary and more distant effect upon the organization. New legislation taking effect may have

a great impact. For example, complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act requires

employers to update their facilities to accommodate those with disabilities.

Directly interactive forces include owners, customers, suppliers, competitors, employees,

and employee unions. Management has a responsibility to each of these groups. Here are some

examples . Owners expect managers to watch over their interests and provide a return on

investments. Customers demand satisfaction with the products and services they purchase and

use. Suppliers require attentive communication, payment, and a strong working relationship to

provide needed resources. Competitors present challenges as they vie for customers in a

marketplace with similar products or services. Employees and employee unions provide both the

people to do the jobs and the representation of work force concerns to management.

The second type of external environment is the indirectly interactive forces. These forces

include sociocultural, political and legal, technological, economic, and global influences.

Indirectly interactive forces may impact one organization more than another simply because of

the nature of a particular business. For example, a company that relies heavily on technology will

be more affected by software updates than a company that uses just one computer. Although

somewhat removed, indirect forces are still important to the interactive nature of an organization.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

In 1984, the first batch of ADABI products rolled off from a small factory in Batu Caves

Light Industrial Area in Kuala Lumpur. Soon after, its market growth began to rise steadily and

this prompted a further expansion. From Batu Caves, ADABI shifted to bigger factory premises

in Taman Kepong Light Industrial Area in 1986 and had two additional plants at Taman Ehsan

Light Industrial Area in 1990 and 1992 respectively.

In November 1996, with an ever escalating consumer demand, Adabi shifted to its

present factory and office premises located in Rawang Integrated Industrial Park. Situated on the

4 acres of land, the site presently houses the production, warehouses, office building and other

administrative facilities of Adabi.

Adabi is a household name in every home in Malaysia. For almost two decades, the

Malaysian public has heard, seen and fallen in love with the Adabi brand, whose logo is

represented by the traditional Royal Malay Palace of Malacca in the sixteenth century. The

Malay palace denotes the fact that Adabi products have a very strong heritage, similar with the

quality food that was served to the royalties in the past.

True to its image, the Adabi brand has consistently delivered to Malaysian consumer food

products that are 100% Halal, and of the highest quality. It is because of this that Adabi was

recently voted a Superbrand for the year 2002 by the Malaysian Superbrands Council. Adabi can

proudly lay claim to the fact it is one of only a select few Superbrands that is purely homegrow,

through and through.

The Adabi brand has also managed to penetrate the minds of consumers outside of

Malaysia, especially those in the Indonesian cosmopolitan areas of Medan and Jakarta. Some of

Adabi’s well-known products have been marketed and sold in Indonesia since 1993, and the

Adabi brand has also been promoted consistently in the mass media over there.

inventoriable items, and sells those items to a customer. Typically vendors are tracked in either a

finance system or a warehouse management system.Vendors are often managed with a vendor

compliance checklist or vendor quality audits. Purchase orders are usually used as a contractual

agreement with vendors to buy goods or services. Vendors may or may not function as

distributors of goods. They may or may not function as manufacturers of goods. If vendors are

also manufacturers, they may either build to stock or build to order. 'Vendor' is often a generic

3.0 PUBLIC PRESSURE

DEFINITION

Public Pressure is the act of attempting to influence decisions made by officials in the

government, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies. Lobbying is done by

many different types of people, associations and organized groups, including individuals in the

private sector, corporations, fellow legislators or government officials, or advocacy groups

(interest groups). May be among a legislator's constituencies, meaning a voter or block of voters

within his or her electoral district, or not; they may engage in lobbying as a business, or not.

Professional lobbyists are people whose business is trying to influence legislation on behalf of a

group or individual who hires them. Individuals and nonprofit organizations can also lobby as an

act of volunteering or as a small part of their normal job (for instance, a CEO meeting with a

representative about a project important to his/her company, or an activist meeting with his/her

legislator in an unpaid capacity). Governments often define and regulate organized group

lobbying that has become influential.

The ethics and morality of lobbying are dual-edged. Lobbying is often spoken of with

contempt, when the implication is that people with inordinate socioeconomic power are

corrupting the law (twisting it away from fairness) in order to serve their own conflict of interest.

But another side of lobbying is making sure that others' interests are duly defended against

others' corruption, or even simply making sure that minority interests are fairly defended against

mere tyranny of the majority. For example, a medical association may lobby a legislature about

increasing the restrictions in smoking prevention laws, and tobacco companies lobby to reduce

them: the first regarding smoking as injurious to health and the second arguing it is part of the

freedom of choice.

3.1 JAKIM

In 1968, the Malaysian Council of Rulers decided that there was a need for a body that

could mobilise the development and progress of Muslims in Malaysia, in line with the country’s

status as an Islamic country which was growing in strength as well as fast gaining worldwide

recognition. In realising the fact, a secretariat for the National Council of Islamic Affairs of

Malaysia was formed to protect the purity of faith and the teachings of Islam. This secretariat

7

was later expanded to become the Religious Division, Prime Minister’s Department which was

later upgraded to become the Islamic Affairs Division (BAHEIS). On 1st January 1997, in line

with the country’s steadfast Islamic development and progress, the Department of Islamic

Development Malaysia (JAKIM) was established by the Government of Malaysia to take over

the role of BAHEIS.

As a leading agency in the management of Islamic affairs at the federal level as well as

the Secretariat of the National Council for Islamic Affairs, Malaysia (MKI), JAKIM therefore

implements the following three main functions . First function is a Formulation and

standardization of Islamic Law. Second function is a Islamic Coordination and Administration.

Third function is a Coordination and Development of Islamic Education .

4.0 COMPETITOR

DEFINITION

Competition in biology, ecology, and sociology, is a contest between organisms, animals,

individuals, groups, etc., for territory, a niche, or a location of resources, for resources and

goods, mates, for prestige, recognition, awards, or group or social status, for leadership.

Competition is the opposite of cooperation.[1][2] It arises whenever at least two parties strive for

a goal which cannot be shared or which is desired individually but not in sharing and

cooperation. Competition occurs naturally between living organisms which co-exist in the same

environment.[3] For example, animals compete over water supplies, food, mates, and other

biological resources. Humans compete usually for food and mates, though when these needs are

met deep rivalries often arise over the pursuit of wealth, prestige, and fame. Competition is also a

major tenet of market economies and business is often associated with competition as most

companies are in competition with at least one other firm over the same group of customers, and

also competition inside a company is usually stimulated for meeting and reaching higher quality

of services or products that the company produce or develop.

4.1 BABA’S

When Baba Products ventured into the industry, ready-made spices and mixes had

already been around for quite a while. It was the general belief however that authentic taste was a

necessary sacrifice of convenience, and the reason why the traditional "home-made blends"

remained the preferred choice in most kitchens. There was doubt too of the suitability of these

products for vegetarian consumption.

As consumers ourselves, fussy ones at that - we believed that while convenience was a

necessity, aroma and flavor is of highest importance. This is what drove us to capture the very

essence of those traditional family recipes, using the finest ingredients from around the world.

State-of-the-art production and hygienic packaging techniques ensure that our range of products

adhere to the strictest international standards. A commitment to ensure that non-vegetarian

ingredients or flavor enhancers are not used in our products, leaves us relying instead only on the

finest quality ingredients from around the world.

10

Today, BABA'S has become a trusted household name synonymous with mouth-watering

aromas, exquisite taste, international quality and simplified convenience. Our range can now be

found in North America, Canada, Europe, South Africa, Australia and most of Southeast Asia. In

Malaysia, Baba's is the preferred choice of every Malaysian, no matter their race or tastes.
