Strategy

What is strategy?
As everyone thinks, strategy is not actually a plan. It's a long term plan. Everyone has their own strategy. Without strategy, no one can succeed. Success not only depends on the strategy but with a proper strategy there is an assurance of success.
If we come across the life history of successful organisation or successful person, most of them would have followed a strategy. Strategy does not comes in a single day. It should be planned by analysing the external environment and the internal capacity. If the internal capacity does not matches/ it cannot meet out requirements the strategy fails. In this situation the strategy should be changed accordingly. Usually the strategy should be made properly. A good strategy which gives success to one particular organisation need not work for some other organisation. Itdoesnt mean that strategy should not be copied, but before copying it must be properly evaluated and then it should be adapted.

dance by students

Do you think i am in happy mood to watch and enjoy the dance by students of my class!!!

Really its boring to see but they know how tough it is to dance..
They really practice a lot to perform well.. but for me to hear the same song for so many times its really difficult. If you hear the line that was repeated you will also get irritated..Yahoo yahooo this was the line that was repeated again and again. Already yahoo is the competitor of Google. Even though they know that this is a blog of google they sang as yahoo.. As being a customer of google i got tensed and planning to sing a song in the next competition as
"google google".. All the best google.. keep rocking by having a great post like this. Especially from me :)

Dont you think how great i have corelated the dance with our blog.. wow great.. but the wow competition that was held in my college was not great to me.. i think this correlation is enough today:)

Conclusion:

The firm does not have a separate treasurer and a controller. The combined activities of both the designations are carried out by the accountant there. Since the firm is a small one, all the financial activities are done by the single accountant. As the firm is a developing one and not an established firm, it is necessary that majority of the decisions that involve money could be taken only by the person who is capable of raising it. Hence the accountant of REACH gives the suggestions but the final decisions are taken by the CEO who is the fund raiser there.

The other main reason is that the firm being a developing one, it cannot afford to have a finance department separately wherein they can have a treasurer and controller designation. So activities which involves recording, registering and entry makings are done by the accountant along with the few functions of the treasurer and controller, where as decisions and the functions that involves a sufficiently large amount is carried out by the top management, being the CEO here.
