A cost centre approach is a defensive one and the main aim is ensure that cashflows of a firm are not adversely affected beyond a point. A profit centreapproach on the other hand is a more aggressive approach where the firmdecides to generate a net profit on its exposure over time.

the target market, technological advances, competition and a change in theorganization's mission.
Various countries have various factors which influence the purchasingdecision of the customer. Accordingly, companies have to modify theiradvertising startegies in order to focus on the target customer.
For connection with the local market, kirloskars always tried to use the locallanguage for the advertising purpose. Music backgrounds used were specific to
the nation where it was aired.

16/24
Employee retention refers to the ability of an organization to retain the
employees.
In a business setting, the goal of employers is usually to decrease employee
turnover, thereby decreasing training costs, recruitment costs and loss of talent
and organizational knowledge. By implementing lessons learned from key
organizational behavior concepts employers can improve retention rates and
decrease the associated costs of high turnover. However, this isn't always the
case. Employers can seek "positive turnover" whereby they aim to maintain
only those employees who they consider to be high performers.
Different techniques used are:
1.
Focus on people development
2. Participation in management
3. Working conditions
4. Rewards and recognition given to the executives
5. Satisfaction with compensation level

(ii) Profitability at each location
Amidst focus to ensure profitable growth with improvement in cash availability,KBL has taken a conscious decision of being selective in accepting project and
product orders which will ensure positive cash flow and result in targeted
profitability. It has decided to focus more on the promotion of its manufacturedproducts to get higher profitability. The payment terms have been changed to
-
8/10/2019 IBM Term Project Final
19/24
ensure better cash flow. The initiatives will help in reducing inventory andborrowings thereby enhancing better management of working capital, reductionin interest cost & higher profit margins. Introduction of new products withdifferentiated value proposition for the customers are being promoted. This has
started reaping benefits in terms of increased profit driven sales with good cashflow. KBL plans to strengthen its customer relationship management process toprovide world class after sales support with service & spares.
With all these initiatives we expect its consolidated revenue mix for its productbusiness to grow substantially from 69% to 80% by FY14 & ultimately itscontribution from its project business will reduce to a bare minimum by FY15& selective bidding will be made for orders with good payment terms (~90%
payment term in first year itself) which are profitable & cash positivethroughout its execution period.The profit of the company in FY 13-14 in India was 476,874,945 while in thesame year the total profit of company from foreign market was Euro 4,699,797.
(iii) Cost of funds
The interest rate paid by financial institutions for the funds that they deploy intheir business. The cost of funds is one of the most important input costs for afinancial institution, since a lower cost will generate better returns when thefunds are deployed in the form of short-term and long-term loans to borrowers.The spread between the cost of funds and the interest rate charged to borrowers
represents one of the main sources of profit for most financial institutions.
A cost of funds indexor COFIis a regional average of interest expensesincurred by financial institutions, which in turn is used as a base forcalculating variable rateloans. The interest rate on an adjustable rate mortgage,for example, is often linked to a regional COFI specified in the particular loandocuments. COFIs, in turn, are usually calculated by a self-regulatory agencylike Federal Home Loan Banks. In California, for example, manyhome mortgage loansare indexed to the Federal Home Loan Bank of San
Francisco. Interest rates on COFI loans and mortgages tend to fluctuate moreslowly than variable-rate loans linked to other indexes. An index used todetermine interest rate changes for some adjustable-rate mortgages. The 11thDistrict Cost of Funds Index was first introduced in December of 1982. It is a
National Monthly Median Cost of Funds defined as interest (dividends) paid oraccrued on deposits for Western American Financial Institutions. It is calculatedon the last day of the month. The cost of fund for KBL is estimated to be 408,540,690
