Sonu and Monu completed their education from Delhi University. Sonu lived in near the University, whereas Monu had to go back to his village in Assam. Both of them wanted to start their own business. Since the Government announced ban on the use of polythene bags, an idea struck them to start a jute bag manufacturing business. Sonu thought that he would get the advantage of University area for marketing the jute bags and will earn good profits. He also had necessary funds. Therefore he started manufacturing the bags immediately. He was not having any experience of manufacturing jute bags. He also sold the bags on less margin due to tough competition. As a result, his business failed after a few years. On the other hand, Monu was happy because the raw material was available to him at a very low cost in Assam and people of the village were ready to work at low wages because of less job opportunities. Not only this, before starting the business Monu had researched about the cost-structure, the market, the competitors and the strengths and weaknesses of the business.
Based on the above paragraph, identify and explain any two causes of failure of Sonu’s business in comparison to Monu. Also, state any two values which Monu had communicated to the society through his business.
