PROFILE
CEM Consultants (CEMCON) is
basically a Management
Consultancy organization promoted to render advisory services to
business organizations.
MISSION
CEM Consultants
endeavor to render management consultancy services incorporating
principles and practices of CEM
concept, for achieving desired corporate
goals within an accepted time and budget frame.
CEM-THE CENTRAL THEME
CEM Consultants' approach to management consultancy is
different than any other management consultancy organization. The difference
lies in the application of its proprietary
concept CEM evolved by its Founder,
Babulal Yadav. CEMCON extends and shares the benefits of CEM
concept with its
patrons and customers. At present, CEMCON are the only authorized users of
CEM concept worldwide.
In the
CEM concept, Corporate Environment
Management is recognized as the fifth management function supplementing the
other four functions viz. Production, Marketing, Finance and Human Resource.
Incorporating Corporate Environment makes management practice
more holistic and realistic. Under CEM
concept, an organization is not treated as an isolated entity. But, it is considered operating within an ever active and
dynamic environment. The environment of an organization is as unique and individualistic as the nature of
its operations. The organization and its environment
continuously interact, influencing each other similar to the influence of planetary
bodies on earth and its inhabitants.
CEM concept recognizes the importance of environmental influence
on business
and asserts that dealing with any management problem without it, is
incomplete and inaccurate. CEMCON have developed necessary
tools, techniques and skills to provide solutions to management problems
integrated with CEM concept.
The results, as explained above, are certainly expected to be more sound
and accurate.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
CEM is a basic management function and
the concept is universal. Hence, the scope of CEM
consultancy services is very wide and encompass almost all areas of
management.
CEMCON services are focused broadly in
the following two areas:
A. Introducing CEM
Practice in organizations
Business organizations desirous of adopting CEM,
will be assisted to do so in the following manner:
 |
Study of business environment; identification of environmental forces,
assessing their nature and strengths; study the nature of environment-organization
interaction; and suggest ways to manage an overall favorable influence on corporate
goals. |
 |
Establish information systems for continuous monitoring of environment;
analyzing the information and reporting important happenings to top
management for an appropriate action. |
 |
Advising top management on reorganization of management set up so
as to make room for CEM
set-up and its smooth overall functioning. |
 |
Selection of proper manpower required for CEM
function. |
B. Applying CEM
concept in solving business problems Steady business operations may
not find CEM immediately very relevant as the environmental changes are minimal.
However, business situations where either the organization initiating a new
action like setting up a new project, launching a new
business etc. or a variation taking place in any external force influencing
the organization, necessitate CEM
application. CEMCON assists
business organizations in dealing with such situations. Typically, CEM
finds applications in the following situations:
 |
Launching business in a foreign nation
This is very typical to multinational firms setting up business in other countries. |
 |
Launching business into a new territory
In the same nation, a company wishes to extend business into new
territories. This is more true to countries like India, having heterogeneous
political systems and cultures varying from territory to territory. |
 |
Setting up new business
A new business of any kind, anywhere means creating a niche into the general
business environment. Correct interaction will determine a smooth entry,
survival and growth. |
 |
Setting up
Greenfield plants and industries
New plants or industries which are particularly set-up on new locations,
need intensive interaction with the environment. Effective interaction will
facilitate smooth and timely completion of the project. |
The above are a
few examples of business situations where
CEM concept and practices are highly
desirable for effective management. CEMCON
provide the cutting edge assistance for successful operations.

the second category of CEM's business applications, as mentioned
above, CEMCON has, for the

services:
