Do small Businesses fail because they think to small?

 Overview
Most small business owners run into the problem of thinking too small. Many entrepreneurs ask for assistance with starting their business. There are five key areas where you can think too small and doom your business to failure.

Niche Too Small
Is your niche too small? It’s crucial to target a small niche with your business, but sometimes small niches are narrowed too much. For example , there may be a niche for dog dental products (as most dog owners will attest) and you could focus on a certain type of dog (such as lap dogs) but going for a specific breed would be too specific.
Target Market Too Small
Is your target market too small? Identifying only a single community or geographical region may spell doom for your product. Small markets are far too easy to saturate, and marketing mistakes are far too likely to end your campaign before it gets off the ground. When planning your target market in today’s economy, you need to think big, with the availability of global marketing.
Budget Too Small
Is your budget too small? The first step in getting your business and marketing campaign off the ground does not require a million-dollar marketing budget. It is possible for businesses to be built from nothing, but it is also a lot more difficult, and you may end up making mistakes along the way that cost you more in the long run.
Schedule Too Small
Is your schedule too small? Do you have enough time to devote to your business? Starting, running, and growing a business takes time. People often get lost in the planning and dreaming stages and never actually start their business. Some people begin without having completed all of their planning, and quickly encounter unexpected problems. In the meantime, others plan and start their business properly, but once it runs, they become overwhelmed and don’t think about ways to improve and grow it.
Mind Too Small
Is your mind too small? You need to open up your mind’s eye to continually seek new opportunities to find new customers, to find new potential partners, to find new ideas for products, and to find new opportunities for marketing. A successful business is always looking for and pursuing new ideas to grow and expand its market as well as its business. In today’s challenging environment, flexibility and adaptability are essential. This means raising your head up out of the trenches once in a while. Yes, you might need to dodge the occasional missile lobbed your way, but this is the only way to see those opportunities heading your way.
By avoiding these five not-so-small mistakes, you will be on the road to successful small business.

Procure to Pay (P2P) Cycle- by Amod Bhat SAP Consultant at SAVIC Technologies

Procure to Pay, also known as P2P , is the process of obtaining the raw materials needed for manufacturing a product or providing a service, and making payment for these. Every manufacturing concern or service provider needs to run this cycle efficiently if they are to continuously manage their cash flow, build goodwill with suppliers and make profits. Steps of the Procure to Pay (P2P) Cycle: * The process begins with planning what materials are required, when they are required, and the price that the company can afford to pay for them. * Then the company prepares a list of vendors that they think can provide the materials for them. * The company asks each of the vendors to submit a quotation, which includes the price, terms of delivery, quality of materials, and any other information that they need for making their decision. This stage could also involve negotiating with the vendors for the best deal. * Once a vendor has been chosen, t...

Basic Fundamental of Technical Analysis

Technical analysis may appear complicated on the surface, but it boils down to an analysis of supply and demand in the market to determine where the price trend is headed. In other words, technical analysis attempts to understand the market sentiment behind price trends rather than analyzing a security’s fundamental attributes. If you understand the benefits and limitations of technical analysis, it can give you a new set of tools or skills that will enable you to be a better trader or investor over the long-term. There are two primary methods used to analyze securities and make investment decisions: fundamental analysis and technical analysis.

Technical analysis is a method of eval...
