Mc Kensey’s 7 S Frame Work

The McKinsey 7S model involves seven interdependent factors which are categorized as either

"hard" or "soft" elements:

"Hard" elements are easier to define or identify and management can directly influence them:

These are strategy statements; organization charts and reporting lines; and formal processes.

"Soft" elements, on the other hand, can be more difficult to describe, and are less tangible and

more influenced by culture. However, these soft elements are as important as the hard elements

if the organization is going to be successful.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF HARVEST FUTURES CONSULTANTS PVT. LTD.

SWOT analysis is an acronym for the internal strengths and weaknesses of a firm and the external

opportunities and threads facing that firm. SWOT analysis helps managers to have quick

overview of the firm’s strategic situation and assess whether there is a sound ‘fit’ between

internal resources, values and external environment.

STRENGTHS:

1. Good working Environment

2. No competition.

3. Skillful employees.

4. Led by the dedicated and expertise focused professional.

5. Efficient trading with live, executable prices with instant trade confirmation

6. High liquidity.

7. Advanced analysis tools.

8. Real-time account risk management.

9. Metatrader4based platform.

WEAKNESSESS:

1. Lack of expertise in trading

2. Inaccessibility to innovative product or services that can assist you.

3. Emotional instability

OPPORTUNITIES:

1. A developing market such as the Internet.

2. Competitive market full of brokers

3.Moving into new trading strategies that offer increased profits with less cost and time saver e.g.

auto pilots or robots

THREATS:

1. The ever emerging Internet market.

2. Lack of guidance on choice of broker.

3. Accessibility to tested and trusted forex auto trader (robot)

4. Emotional instability.

5. Constancy of power supply- this is a serious threat because to auto trade your PC must be on

24/7.

The application of the SWOT analysis is however subjective, that is, results cannot be

generalized because individual differences has a role to play in the final result.

LEARNING EXPERIENCE:

Learning is a continuous process by which we acquire the knowledge that we apply to our future

endeavor. The university has given me an opportunity to learn many aspects pertaining to the

working of the organization. The objective of the project is to study the structure, style, system,

skills, strategy, staff, shared values and functioning of the organization. The theoretical study of

the management practices will not offer a useful insight if not supplemented by practical

exposure.

The Project work at Harvest Futures Consultants Private Limited exposed me to the

management practices. The strategy studied in theory in a controlled environment will fail to

deliver in the actual business scenario. Hence this study taught me that firms have to thrive iin

harsh market realities and even the best of the strategies may be ineffective.

It was an enriching experience to work in Futures Consultants Private Limited. It gave me an

good exposure where I acquired the practical knowledge about the overall functioning of the

organization. The project work has given me an opportunity to study the currency trading in the

global market and also how to manage the risk while trading. The project provided an

opportunity to relate theoretical aspects in working environment concepts such as delegation of

authority, reporting, services etc.

Constant growth and innovation trading and customer satisfaction has made Harvest group what

it is today. It helped me realize that any organization cannot be complacent with its current

position. It has to continuously innovate and come out with new ideas.

The interaction with the employees and customers gave me an insight and a firsthand experience

of the organizational scenario and has indeed widened my horizon of knowledge. The disciplined

friendly and supportive working environment leads to higher productivity, all the staff works in a

highly disciplined atmosphere.
