To expand a business, entrepreneurs
implement different strategies. To bring overall improvement in a venture, the
experienced entrepreneur and Prime Minister's Private Industries and Investment
Adviser, Salman F Rahman
emphasizes making investments. The co-founder of the top Bangladeshi
conglomerate, BEXIMCO Group, has focused on improving various sectors and areas
with the adoption of this strategy. Mr. Rahman supports the role of both external
and internal investments. Depending on the type, a venture can attract
improvements to experience diversification, profitability, and strong
relationships with other businesses. This can enable the company to expand its
operations and retain its impact for a considerable period. Notably, this also
indicates the solid success of the conglomerate in Bangladesh, setting it as an
example for others.
Role
of Investments in Expanding a Business
During different phases of time, entrepreneurs should make
investments in their businesses. Focusing on the areas of improvement, specific
investments can result in better output. As a consequence of the same, their
ventures can perform better. Hence, in the time to come, these ventures can
undergo expansion.
Types of
Investments Businesses Should Make
Broadly, one can categorize business investments as
internal and external. Both types are important and yield varying effects to
benefit the company. The co-founder of BEXIMCO Group and Prime Minister's
Private Industries and Investment Adviser, Salman
F Rahman is of the view that under these 2 categories, the investments
differ as per the areas of improvement/growth a business requires.
Internal
Investments
Investing in a company internally refers to enhancing the
areas that require attention. It may experience challenges that can best
indicate these areas of attention. For certain businesses, these areas can
include low productivity, a small workforce, and product/service quality
limitations, among others.
Considering these, companies can invest in modern machinery
or tools that expedite the processes and improve productivity. Purchasing the
same can work as a useful measure when a company has a small team of employees
to administer production and other processes.
Regarding quality limitations, Salman F Rahman believes in
upgrading the measures or machinery for enhanced results.
External
Investments
Externally, ventures should invest in additional businesses
as a strategic move. Strategically, this measure can yield a range of
advantages for the growth and expansion of a company.
As the Vice Chairman of the Bangladeshi conglomerate
unfolds, investments in other ventures can diversify the existing assets of
companies. With this, the risk of investing can be minimized. Further, this
move can efficiently work by bringing 2 companies closer. They can rely on the
operations of one another to experience high efficiency.
In the long run, external investments can make way for
scalability too. Through these, businesses can gain opportunities to enter new
markets. Following this, they can encounter new opportunities to broaden their
operations and look forward to scalability.
Growth of BEXIMCO Group through Investments
BEXIMCO Group’s Vice Chairman and the country’s leading
businessmen, Salman F Rahman has
prioritized investing in the company. The massive expansion of the top
conglomerate in Bangladesh is, therefore, evident. In various industries,
ranging from pharmaceuticals to textiles, its success is notable.
Enhancing
Operations through Investments
Operating distinctively, the founders of BEXIMCO Group have invested in multiple areas for
specific enhancements. The conglomerate has an extensive workforce in the
present times, with thousands of employees working with it across the globe.
To manage and retain the gradually increasing workforce,
the BEXIMCO Industrial Park is another vital investment. Mr. Rahman explains that
this park comprises modern machinery and aspects contributing to safe working
conditions. Together, they yield the satisfaction of thousands of employees
working in Bangladesh.
Investments
Across Regions
As part of investments, the Bangladeshi company’s founders
have managed ties with organizations within/outside the country. It retains its
relationship with ITOCHU Corporation, Qcoom, and other companies.
Salman F Rahman puts forth that investing in business
relations has widened the success of the conglomerate in Bangladesh. For this
reason, in more than 50 countries, the verticals of the company have their
presence.
Endnote
For visionary businessmen like Salman F Rahman, investments are important. Hence, it is only
beneficial to prioritize these, suggests the Vice Chairman of BEXIMCO Group.
Whether internal or external, investing in ventures significantly improves
various operations of businesses for their bigger success in the time to come.
