What Have I Learned this Week part 7

Strategic Management from Islamic Perspective

 

During the class, we were asked about the Islamic war during the era of The Prophet Muhammad SAW. How Islam win the war even they are lack of military.  in Ahzab or Khandaq War, this war were named as Khandaq which means trench because during the war, Salman alFarisi advised that they have to dig the trench as a strategy to win the war and protection from the enemy. By using that strategy, the Muslim army able to win the war when at that time they only have 300 forces and 10 horses for battle while their enemy have more than a thousand of forces.

the sketch of strategy of Khandaq war

 

 

Even during the era of previous Prophet also can be seen using the strategies in order to solve the problem or any issues. Other example is when Allah asked the Prophet Nuh to build the ark so because the massive flood will happen. Nuh has to build the ark so that he can protect his followers especially Muslim from the massive flood. After the ark completed, Nuh able differentiate whether his followers are truly Muslim or not.

 

There is a lot of story from the previous era that can be related to strategic management from Islamic perspective.
 

the drawing from the founding of the Nuh arks.

What Have I Learned This Week part 6

Business Level Strategy

It is refer to strategies that business firms use to build competitive advantage and also used to help organizations establish a competitive advantage over industry rivals.

Introduces by Michael Porter with three generic business level strategies :

1 - cost leadership

produce a product or service at a cost below competitors can achieve. 

For example : MYDIN offered basic necessities products a lower cost compared to the competitors who offer same line products and services. 

2 - differentiation

provided to customers through unique features and characteristics of an organization's products rather than by the lowest price. this is done through high quality, features, high customer service, rapid product innovation, advanced technological features, image management, and etc.

For example : ROLEX offered a very high class swatch that present the standard of livings and lifestyle. 

3. focus strategy

based on the firm competing in a narrow scope within an industry where the firm selects a segment or group and tailors its strategy to serve them. use focused strategies may be able serve the smaller segment better than competitors who have a wider base of customers. this is especially true when special needs make it difficult for industry-wide competitors to serve the needs of this group of customers. By serving a segment that was previously poorly segmented an organization has unique capability to serve niche.

there are two variants : 

a) Focused Low Cost- Organizations not only compete on price, but also select a small segment of the market to provide goods and services to.

b) Focused Differentiation - Organizations not only compete based on differentiation, but also select a small segment of the market to provide goods and services. 

For example : UNIVERSAL TRAVELER, in Malaysia there are focusing on traveler attire for winter for those who plans to travel to overseas during winter seasons.

What Have I Learned Today part 4

today forum on GOALS just continues from the last week lecture about 5Porters. What is 5Porters??

okey~

5Porters is a framework to analyse level of competition within an industry and business strategy development. It draws upon industrial organization (IO) economics to derive five forces that determine the competitive intensity and therefore attractiveness of a market. ( source : wiki ) 

In a forum, we were ask about 5Porters for financial service analysis in Malaysia and the attractiveness of this industry.

and here my answer, I donno weather im answering this correct or not..>0<

assalamualaikum~

Malaysia has seen robust development of its financial markets over the past years. And what make it attractive is the developing of strong domestic institution while progressively opening up the financial services sector to greater competition by the government. Today, the banks have a strong capital position and the entire financial services system such insurance system boasts ample liquidity, which has provided a buffer against global economic volatility in the recent past. 

5 Porters Analysis:

New Entrance

- usually, the emerging of new entrance in financial market service is low compared to the entrance of market products.

Buyers

- the products that usually offered to the public is identical therefore, it create an advantage for customer to demand in selecting the service providers.

Suppliers

- Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) or depositors 

Rivalry

- financial service that offer the same products and services for similar target market

- conventional vs Islamic services offered

Substitute

- online banking and transaction

- Islamic services offered much easy and convenient  products with a fixed interest and high dividend return.

What Have I Learned Today part 2

Today is my turn to present the article about current issue..
Rather than choose about rhe current issue,  I choose to talk about the health issue that almost Malaysian face it which is resdung a.k.a nasal allergy or in scientific known as sinusitis..

Lets find out what I found through my reading!!!

Source : The Star Online
Date : 21 September 2014
Titles : Natural remedy to help in nasal allergy problem

First of all, we have to know the symptoms if we were infect by bacteria in our T- zone area. The symptoms are always sneezing,  nasal blockage and mucous discharge.  However,  to some who already experienced this symptoms,  their nose become inflamed and blocked, hard breathing problem, facial congestion,  headaches,  ear aches,  and insomnia. Youngsters also face the same things and effected their emotional like  anxiety and also face behaviour and attention disorder.

  When we go to clinics usually,  doctor will prescribed us with antistamines and nasal steroid spray. Unfortunately,  this drug contains adverse reaction and cannot prevent an allergic reaction from happening.

And Alhamdulillah,  researchers from Zagred, Croatia discovered an astrogalus root extract which contain special calcium minerals. This root extract help a lot in preventing the allergic and if the patients receive the treatment continuously within 6 weeks, the potential to recover from allergy is over 70% .
