22. Read the following case and answer the questions given below:

The priority of Government of Nepal seems to be in local resource-based entrepreneur

development so the target of government, 'balanced regional development', can be met.
Experience shows that big business houses or industries especially established in foreign direct
investment are creating conflict in Nepal. It is so because Nepal is a poor country and FDI
providers are from financially and economically strong countries. They lobby for undue policy
influence and take more undue benefits than local industries. They use the political power of
host country to get more concession, rebates and benefits. Policy influence is the major
problem of multinational companies.
Considering to all these factors, Government of Nepal prioritizes in local entrepreneurship
development. Government has provided skill enhancing trainings to the youths of remote and
village areas. CTEVT has provided basic level of training like computer repair, and mobile
repair, etc. through other Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local offices and
International non-governmental organizations also working in the field of training and
development of entrepreneurship.
In the collaboration of Ministry of industry and United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), a project entitled 'Micro Enterprise Development Programme (MEDEP) has been
established. It is working in the low-income family and disadvantaged and backward
communities. It supports financially and technically to deprived communities to develop micro
enterprises. As well, ELAM (Occupation), a poverty reduction project of Swiss development
Agency (Helvetas), is also working in the field of enterprise development. It is especially
working in terai region. It has provided training to those who want to start their own business.
It gives training to entrepreneurs or persons who intends to develop knowledge on business
plan preparation, marketing, account keeping, product development, and productivity
improvement.
Government also has managed the institutions to support entrepreneurs. Some institutions are
Ministry of Industry, Department of Industry, and Department of cottage and small industries,
Industrial promotion Board, Nepal Industrial Development Finance company, National
productivity and Economic development centre, Cottage and Small Industries Development
Board, Industrial Enterprise Development Institute and IT Park.
Even though all these arrangements have been made by the government of Nepal and
international agencies, the set up and development of enterprises is not encouraging in Nepal.
Questions
a) What may be the cause of slow development of enterprises in Nepal?
b) Why do entrepreneurs need institutional support?
c) Do you think local resource-based enterprises are more suitable to Nepal compared to
big enterprises which obtain FDI? Explain.
d) Suggest the best ideas for the development of rural and local resource-based
enterprise in Nepal?

Comprehensive Answer/Case/Situation Analysis Question [1x20=20]
22. Nepal Rastra Bank is responsible for fine-tuning the money supply in the banking system.
The most commonly used monetary tools used by central banks around the world to manage
money supply condition are open market operations, discount window loans, and required
reserve ratios. The required reserve ratio is particularly the ratio of the deposits held by
commercial banks which must be placed at the account maintained at the central bank, and
the bank cannot lend it out. Increased required reserve ratio usually mean the less amount is
available for credit which ultimately lowers the total amount of money in entire banking
system and vice versa. To see an effect of change in required reserve ratio to banking
deposits, for example, assume a typical commercial bank that reports existing transaction
deposit of Rs 500 billion on its balance sheet. The current required reserve ratio set by centra
bank is 8 percent. If the new required reserve ratio is set 7 percent, answer the required that

assume there is an only one commercial bank in the banking system.
e. Why do you think the negative relationship exist between the change in required reserve
ratio and deposit expansion/contraction in the banking system?

Comprehensive/Case/Situation Analysis Questions [4 x 5 = 20]

22. Read the following case and answer the questions given below:
The tea industry in Nepal is growing rapidly due to the active participation of the
private sector. Nepal is now self-sufficient in CTC tea. There is also a significant
international market for Orthodox tea. According to the Nepal Tea and Coffee
Development Board, 20 million kg of tea is produced in the country annually. Out of
this, only four million kg is Orthodox tea. About eight million kg of tea produced in
the country is consumed domestically, and the remaining 12 million kg is exported.
The National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC) has started research on the
production of a Nepali variety of tea. The centre, which is based in Pakhribas
Municipality, has initiated research to develop a unique Nepali brand of tea that would
stand out in the global tea market.
Moreover, after 154 years of tea cultivation, Nepal’s traditional tea has finally
received an international trademark and its own logo in the international market. After
numerous attempts by the Nepal Tea and Coffee Development Board, organizations
associated with tea production, and experts in the field, Nepali tea has received its
own logo and trademark.
International demand for tea produced in Nepal was affected in Europe and the USA
when a test in Germany, revealed that it contained a harmful chemical called
‘anthropathone.’ However, the situation has since improved.
Organic tea has become the minimum quality standard acceptable in Western markets.
Western customers have started seeking other standards in tea production, such as
eco-friendliness and bio-friendliness. In the past few weeks, Indian tea producers and
traders have been seeking a ban on the import of non-organic Orthodox tea from
Nepal.
Keeping health issues in mind, some organic tea producers in the country have
demanded that the government make all tea production organic in Nepal. They have
argued that this step would not only have health benefits for consumers but also help
the economy grow.
However, opponents of this proposal argue that the move could do more harm than
good. Organic production takes at least three years to complete, and during this
lengthy period, production can be affected by fertilizer shortages and other challenges,
according to non-organic tea producers.
Frequent strikes by workers, the effects of climate change, low labor productivity,
poor government support, high capital costs, the use of modern technologies,
competition with Indian tea, and promotion in international markets are some of the
major issues confronting the Nepali tea industry.
Questions:
a) Identify two components of the task and general environment of the Nepalese
tea industry.
b) In your opinion, what are the opportunities and threats for Nepalese tea
industries?
c) In view of the growing globalization, what strategies should Nepalese tea
industries adopt to remain competitive in the market?
d) Write how innovation is being important factor of Nepalese tea industries.

22. Read the following case and answer the questions given below:

The priority of Government of Nepal seems to be in local resource-based entrepreneur

development so the target of government, 'balanced regional development', can be met.
Experience shows that big business houses or industries especially established in foreign direct
investment are creating conflict in Nepal. It is so because Nepal is a poor country and FDI
providers are from financially and economically strong countries. They lobby for undue policy
influence and take more undue benefits than local industries. They use the political power of
host country to get more concession, rebates and benefits. Policy influence is the major
problem of multinational companies.
Considering to all these factors, Government of Nepal prioritizes in local entrepreneurship
development. Government has provided skill enhancing trainings to the youths of remote and
village areas. CTEVT has provided basic level of training like computer repair, and mobile
repair, etc. through other Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local offices and
International non-governmental organizations also working in the field of training and
development of entrepreneurship.
In the collaboration of Ministry of industry and United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), a project entitled 'Micro Enterprise Development Programme (MEDEP) has been
established. It is working in the low-income family and disadvantaged and backward
communities. It supports financially and technically to deprived communities to develop micro
enterprises. As well, ELAM (Occupation), a poverty reduction project of Swiss development
Agency (Helvetas), is also working in the field of enterprise development. It is especially
working in terai region. It has provided training to those who want to start their own business.
It gives training to entrepreneurs or persons who intends to develop knowledge on business
plan preparation, marketing, account keeping, product development, and productivity
improvement.
Government also has managed the institutions to support entrepreneurs. Some institutions are
Ministry of Industry, Department of Industry, and Department of cottage and small industries,
Industrial promotion Board, Nepal Industrial Development Finance company, National
productivity and Economic development centre, Cottage and Small Industries Development
Board, Industrial Enterprise Development Institute and IT Park.
Even though all these arrangements have been made by the government of Nepal and
international agencies, the set up and development of enterprises is not encouraging in Nepal.
Questions
a) What may be the cause of slow development of enterprises in Nepal?
b) Why do entrepreneurs need institutional support?
c) Do you think local resource-based enterprises are more suitable to Nepal compared to
big enterprises which obtain FDI? Explain.
d) Suggest the best ideas for the development of rural and local resource-based

when a test in Germany, revealed that it contained a harmful chemical called
‘anthropathone.’ However, the situation has since improved.
Organic tea has become the minimum quality standard acceptable in Western markets.
Western customers have started seeking other standards in tea production, such as
eco-friendliness and bio-friendliness. In the past few weeks, Indian tea producers and
traders have been seeking a ban on the import of non-organic Orthodox tea from
Nepal.
Keeping health issues in mind, some organic tea producers in the country have
demanded that the government make all tea production organic in Nepal. They have
argued that this step would not only have health benefits for consumers but also help
the economy grow.
However, opponents of this proposal argue that the move could do more harm than
good. Organic production takes at least three years to complete, and during this
lengthy period, production can be affected by fertilizer shortages and other challenges,
according to non-organic tea producers.
Frequent strikes by workers, the effects of climate change, low labor productivity,
poor government support, high capital costs, the use of modern technologies,
competition with Indian tea, and promotion in international markets are some of the
major issues confronting the Nepali tea industry.
Questions:
a) Identify two components of the task and general environment of the Nepalese
tea industry.
b) In your opinion, what are the opportunities and threats for Nepalese tea
industries?
c) In view of the growing globalization, what strategies should Nepalese tea
industries adopt to remain competitive in the market?
d) Write how innovation is being important factor of Nepalese tea industries.
