The document outlines plans for opening and expanding a book cafe called "The Exotica" in Patiala, India. It will initially be run by 3 partners and focus on books, coffee, healthy food, and music. Over time, the cafe will expand to additional locations, hire more staff, and establish distinct departments for operations, marketing, finance, and events. The organizational structure will evolve from a simple initial structure to a more complex divisional or matrix structure to support future growth.
3. Business : Book Café: TheExotica
About the business :
The café will have exotic coffees and the collection of most popular books. Also
the dishes and food will be served keeping in mind the health conscious crowd
with no compromise in taste and quality and at affordable price keeping in mind
the target group for the café.
The book café is a café located in Patiala city (Punjab).This café is strategically
located in Patiala because of the young crowd in Patiala due to many colleges in
the city and also because of market gap arising due to no such café opened yet in
the city .
Objectives: The main objective for the business is to provide best experience to
the young crowd with the soothing combination of Books, Coffee, healthy food
and relaxing music.This will be a commercial café run for profit of stakeholders.

14. The initial stages for the company
will be analyzer without
innovation and will not lead to
much innovation
Further, certain innovations in
terms of events organized,
musical nights etc could be lead
THE STRATEGY
15. The Goal Space
For ideal working of an
organization, the company
must focus on both i.e.
efficiency and effectiveness of
working.
But in the beginning, my café
lies in quadrant A, since initially
there is lack of manpower,
market build etc but as we
expand after 2 year the
company moves to quadrant C
, showing high effectiveness
but still lack of efficiency
16. The alternative organizational configuration of a firm
The configuration will be
Simple configuration to
divisional configuration
towards matrix
configuration respectively
with growth of organization,
expansion and multiple chain
structure .
