Investment appraisal have great flexibility of the product as well as the quality of product and it is also improving the company image by the better productivity and good staff morale. It is also take a quicker decision.

As per the views ofDangelico., (2015), it has been analysed that different factors and the first factor that is Staff Motivation is the effective factor of the investment that is motivated to the staff in the company regarding the investment process. The second factor is customers satisfaction that is related to the services of the company which is give to the customers in a financial term before creating any investment.

While investing in the other things firstly the investment should be in the process of motivation staff or the human resource is the most essential part of an organisation because of them only the company can move to the growth if the staff is motivated well timely then the company can be grow fast. Costumer satisfaction also plays the important role in the company it also effects the growth of the of the company, if the customer is not satisfied with the company or any policies or else then they will move to the other one (Gattorna, J., 2016). Regulation of Government in this policies the government should been involved in the companies policies so that they would not get any issues while working in with the new [policies or the project so it should be in the eyes of the government. There should be an eyes on the competitors actions so that the company should get the information about the others doing in the market. Trend is the important part of the company before they have proceed to the new project then they should have the knowledge of the trends or the needs of the customer. Manpower should be available so that there should be enough peoples there in the company so that the equipment which are been used in the company can be operated properly(Hyland., Lee, and Mills., 2015). Backed profit/ sales this is the police in which the company had been involved to make the extra profit in the company and the customers can get the advantages. By that they will get more attracted to the company and they will like be in the contact of the company and there will be only little chance to switch to the other company.

According to May, G., Barletta., Stahl, and Taisch., (2015),it has been observed about the Radical change and continuous improvement.

In radical changes some of the companies wants the fast cost reduction methods in the present time. And on the other hand they need the team to be in the growing form and they need to there team to be forward always. It is the change which is been done in the company to the various sectors of the company.

Company can used both of approaches which is change in the business the first approaches is Continuous improvement is the best way to start in the the work in management under the leadership which is give to responsibility to employee to do work in a team to get better feedback. It is basically focused on the customers need and also fulfil their wants and desire to get better customers satisfaction in the organization(Orozco., Tarhini. and Tarhini., 2015). And it also improved the business and get more and more profits in the large scale and also concerting the better work for the organization without any problems and improve the satisfaction of the customer regarding the product. The benefit of continuous improvement is reduce the conflicts of the groups.

Radical change is based on the action of the services and the customers and at the some point the big company to face the changes that can improve the productivity as well as companies goodwill(Lee., Kim., Seo. and High., 2015).
