1. INTRODUCTION:
1.1 Self-Introduction:
I am a self-dependant person who loves to do my work myself. Since childhood, I have
planned to make a better life and living. I have completed my masters in business
management. I had a deep concern for management field since I was a child and wanted to
join a reputed company with my management skills. I had completed my schooling with A+
grade in my academic field and desired to study further in management field. I have always
targeted to join the corporate sector and make a remarkable performance in my job life.
However, after completing my masters I had given interview for few companies and got
offers from three companies. Among them, I had selected the motor vehicle company.
Presently I am placed in Ford Company as the HR in one of their branch. The role of an HR
is to enhance productivity, performance by developing a competency among the workers. The
HR supports the workers to meet their target. I feel I have the potential in me to motivate the
workers and employees to meet the target and also help them to meet the daily challenges
faced by them. I have a very friendly attitude towards my co-workers at the same time I
maintain a restriction to the behaviour I maintain with them. I am concerned about the work
target and also motivate my workers to meet their target on a regular basis. My work thesis
believes the fact that we should love our work and enjoy it every minute. We should work
while having fun and also have fun while working. I do not believe on the fact that life should
be concerned only about work targets and nothing else. I am working in this company for the
last 2 years and have gained experience in this field to a certain extent, however, I believe
their no end to learn more or know more. I expect to see myself as the area head within the
next 5 years, that will depend completely on my work performance and behaviour. The job
role that I have selected for myself suits my personality and skills as I am a motivating person

2SELF ANALYSIS
since childhood and show a keen interest in resolving others issues. I try to understand
people’s problem and solve them with a mutual understanding and concern. Thus, I felt this
job role is ideal for me and this would help to succeed in my work life. I have that potential
capacity in me to implement the positive attitude towards everything in myself and others and
that will help to create a better work environment in the company.
2. The below study will show an analysis on the company I am working:
It includes a detail study of how the environment and other factors are affecting my
company in its development, it will be continued by the job role that I play and how it
will help the company to meet any of these challenges.
MACRO - ELEMENT Citations
Political The political environment in America is supportive
for business environment and is completely in
favour for economy growth. Thus the company
does not face much challenges regarding this issue.
The government supports the technology innovation
and helps the company to advance in the field of
technology and innovation. The government is
increasing international trade agreements that are
enhancing the scope for the company to expand
further in the international market. The government
is also increasing scopes for infrastructural
development in the country thus enhancing the
scope of the company to make better production
and higher quality products.
Economic The company has a scope for growth in the market
as the US economy has a slow but steady pace of
economy growth. The US market is the biggest
economic market in the globe and supports the
economic stability of the company in the market.

3SELF ANALYSIS
However, if the company is targeting for
international market scope then they have to make
sure that the countries they are planning to expand
must have the similar economic stability and
condition. The problem arises when the company is
targeting to reach the global market. The US dollar
is a strong currency that includes the costing
expenses of the company for production. The
production cost for the company is met by this
currency, however if these products has to be sold
in the international market then the price might get
reduced depending on their currency and the
company might incur loss in such situation.
Social There is an increasing demand for electric and
hybrid automobiles in the environment and the
society is also looking forward for better and well
equipped card and automobiles. This is the biggest
opportunity for such technically advance companies
to create their own market demand and product
demand in the society. The company has a
moderate attitude about customer service and this
shows the strength of the company over the society.
The wealth gap plays a vital role in the society that
determines the demand for the cars in society. The
wealth gap defines a situation when the generations
are looking for either extremely premium brands or
products or desire for low cost products. The
company has to make sure that they are meeting all
the requirement in the society, that is they are
meeting both the customers in the society and
maintaining their demand in all the sections of the
society.

Iyer 2013
Technology The use of mobile computing has helped the Allahbakhsh,

4SELF ANALYSIS
company to reach a new height in nature and make
a new position in the market. The company is hi-
light technical and is devoted the advance
technology used by them to provide the best
services in nature. The increase use of online
service has helped to reach the customers and
wholesalers in a faster and easier way. The
company is flourishing with the help of online
marketing system and online communication
system with the stakeholders. The company’s
growth is providing a threat to the alternate fuel
vehicles as there is a limited supply of alternative
fuel stations. They need to focus on services
strategy and technology advancement to meet the
issues and challenges that are probable for the
company.
et al 2013
Demographic
Natural The climate, low-carbon trend, declining oil
reserves plays a vital role determining the demand
for the company product in the market. The climate
change helps to create opportunity for the company
to grow through products that enhances the
conservation in environment. Their low carbon
trend is also equally important in the role of
creating a demand for the product in the market.
The company can use products that enhance the use
of less oil this declining the oil reserves on remote
area. This will create a higher demand for this brand
in the society.
Chen, Bao
and Huang
2014
The above study has stated the advantages and disadvantages of the company that the
environment might cause to them. They are facing very less challenges as the US government
has full support for industry growth and success. The companies faces many supportive

5SELF ANALYSIS
initiatives taken by the government and society to create their own market and transact with
the nation. The study has hi-lighted the problems faced by the company that includes a wealth
gap, which is common for remote countries or areas(Royle and Laing 2014). The remote
areas will not be able to meet the cost and thus the market over there will be reduced for this
particular brand. There are difference in income that also determines the demand for the
demand for the product. The company has to make sure that they are producing product
according to the customer income and capacity to buy the cars.
3. Goals:
The primary goals that I have in my work life as follows:
 Improve the skill knowledge among the employees: this requires a proper
understanding of the workers skill and knowledge so that I can help them to improve
their skills further and educate them about the changes required in the
company(Habermann 2017). I must have a brief idea about their capability to help
them to educate themselves more to create a better scope for understanding and
creating a work environment. I will do this by taking a regular test of the workers that
will give me an idea about their knowledge and thus I can further proceed with that
conception. It will take a period of more than 6 months to get the workers customized
with their job role and create a better understanding of their job life.
 Create a better target and motivation among the workers: I will personally meet the
workers and listen to their grievance about the work environment or work place. The
workers will be able to share their issues without any hesitation as I have that must
trust on my way of approach and thus will be able to make the workers understand
how to meet the challenges and still get motivated to work(Schwarzer,2014.). The
workers must be made to realize the importance of the company goal and
target(Basart and Serra 2013). The time period will not be limited in such cases as the
worker has to be asked about their issues on a daily basis so that they are not facing

6SELF ANALYSIS
any issue while working in the company. The process will include a daily workshop
or personal meeting with the workers.
 Enhance the sales of the company: To enhance the sale of the company the workers
must be attracted or motivated with extra privileges of incentive or bonus that will
give them a reason to find interest in the work. The workers has to be motivated to
work more and increase the sale of the company so that the company can reach a new
height(Shaw 2013). This is also a continuous process and no fixed time can be given
to this process.
 Improve the marketing strategies: To improve the market strategy the present demand
and market strategies has to be understood first. It is important to know the present
market strategies so that I can analyse the profit scale or the market reaction from the
present market strategies. Depending on the present demand the required changes has
to be made(Ulrich et al 2013). The time to time check on the market demand has to be
maintained, a regular check on the profit scale has to be made and a n update
technology for marketing has to be followed.
 Developing a better understanding among the workers: It is always important to create
a scope of better understanding among the workers to create a healthy work
environment and motivate the workers to work efficiently. The workers must co-
ordinate and co-operate among each other to provide a better work place. A regular
meeting or free time to spend must be given to the workers so that they get time to
interact among each other. If the workers are working together, the work production
will automatically get uplifted.

7SELF ANALYSIS
Ethics and professional value:
My ethics and professional value were formed by the morals that were taught to me in
my academic life. I was always taught be dedicated and efficient to the work that is given to
me. The efficiency and motivation that I get for my work are the reflection of my interest in
the subject. I strongly believe that if we do not have any interest on a topic then thousand
dedication information also cannot motivate us to work efficiently. It is the reflection of my
love and keen interest towards the job role(Wirtz and Daiser 2018). I am dedicated towards
my job and believe that I can bring the best out of that(Hartman, DesJardins and MacDonald
2014). This gives me the potential to work hard and give my best and possible dedication to
the company.
Ethics is the moral principles that is present inside an individual that governs them to
work accordingly. It eliminates the scope for illegal or unethical working of any individual. It
the mere morality and good belongings of an individual that is reflected in their behaviour
and work process. The term ethics defines to be extremely dedicated to the culture and work
with a full dedicating power that will help the organization or individual to grow further in
future.
The ethics that I follow was implemented in me by my school-teachers and family.
they always taught me how to become a good human being before becoming a professional
human being. The need for good work and progress is important in our life, however before
all this we must be a good person within and progress our self-culture and thinking. Thus, my
ethics arose from the mentioned sources and I strongly believe that they will be preserved in
me forever. I strongly believe in dedication, that is if I am working for a company then I will
give my best to improve the condition of the company.

situation handling
The situation has to be
handled with a lot of
delicacy of their is a
chaos in work place. A
small issue can be a big
threat to the organization
if it is not resolves with a
proper resolving strategy.
Kindra 2014.
The results show a better understanding of employees, resolving issues, handling
situation has been my strength since the early days. The job that I have applied for is related
to marketing and has high scopes for me to achieve my target in this field. The marketing
section requires confidence and self-understanding before you go to make other understand.

11SELF ANALYSIS
Thus if I am unable to make myself understand about the product or service then i will never
be able to make other understand. I have to maintain a good understanding about products
and make the clients understand its importance then only they will opt for the product or
service. My strongest skills are managing situation, analysing situation that will help me to be
an area manager to understand the situation crisis and meet the need of that area. The skills
that are required for my job role matches with this and thus are helpful for me to create a
better scope in my new ob role. The only thing that I require to acquire is a strong knowledge
about the present technology that is used to keep myself updated about the latest technology
and its usage.

5.1 Improvements
Consider your skills that you consider you should improve (these are indicated as low
values in your skill set). What are your deficiencies? How can you improve them? Provide a
solution for them. Your solution should be 50 words each solution. There should be 2- 3
deficiencies and explanations.
The skills that I have to improve are the information about the technology and accounting. I
have very less idea about the latest technologies and coding used in the work process. I have
to develop a better understanding about this skill and gain required knowledge about it. I also
have very less idea about accounts and have to start new course that will give me a better idea
about this.
Skills Deficiencies Why Solution
1 IT information I have comparatively less
knowledge about IT information
I might take classes for developing
the skills
2 Accounting I have very less knowledge about
Accounts as I am not from that
background
I might take up classes for
developing this skill
