Multinational Business Organizations control in different difficult domestic and global
environment. Numerous factors influence the marketing environments that organization does not
control them. Business environment of the company appears in two groups: The Specific and
The General Environment. (Stephen P Robins, 2003)

2.1.1 Political Factors
The Malaysian government is pushing for more inexpensive housing within the country and this
contains public and private part housing. It can be said that good or decent housing needs to the
people of the country is significant political issue. Malaysian construction industry is quite
enough in terms of employment, income generation and significance to the economy.
The continuously growth prices of housing within the country points to the requirement of
having reasonably priced housing. Reasonably priced housing structures means extra houses will
be build and it has an effect on all parts of the building industry containing which of Lafarge.
2.1.2 Social Factors
The changes in society have brought and still been bringing about a change in the housing needs
for people. As quite more people want to live alone, marrying later and people living longer,
distinctive changes in housing outline can be understood. It will increase the need for single
residence housing thus this needs assumed of by all components of the construction business.
(Stephen P Robins, 2003) So it can be said that the last decade had much affect in construction
industry in country which completely shows itself in annual income of the company and
increasing in production of company as Lafarge.
2.2 The Specific Environment
The specific environment is straightly relevant to the organization’s success and it consists of
four main components: Customers, Suppliers, Pressure Group and Competitors.

more than 40% share of the market. It competes against several competitors are YTL Cement
and Cement Industries of Malaysia / CIMA/, this two company intended capacity developments.
New entrant Hume Industries, which has built a new 1.6 M plants joined competition in the local

market, too. In order to develop the competition, several construction manufacturers have taken
to providing returns to defense market share even later rising price last year in August. CEO
expects prices to step by step coming back to a better stable condition. For the year ended last
year, Lafarge reported a 10% growth, which is as expected, according to net profit when income
raised 7 per cent to MYR 2.75bn. (CN cement, 01 April 2013)
2.2.2 Customers
There are largely effects of the customer needs on the operational planning of the Lafarge
Malayan Berhad. Consumers always demand safer, quality construction materials that company
produces cement, concrete, aggregate at cheaper prices, which pushes the Lafarge to find lower
price of production containing outsourcing parts of its productions.

3.1Profitability
Profitability is that able to get great revenue reconfirms organizations to give investors and
security pouches will go on to offer funding for the benefit of the company is also thoroughly
concomitant to shortage of liquidity, since takings in the long term functioning cash flows. In
order to be agree with this reason, this is the important to appraisal the takings for the
stockholders and moneylenders. In business profitability is called that it is the one of the main
areas of business. Profitability in business for the its success or to survive the business, profit
must be earned. (Research and Markets , 2013)
3.1.1 Net profit Margin
Cost-benefit analysis is the ratio of net income is most often used. Net profit margin displays
which the dollar value of trades, net profit after all costs are. For instance, whether, a net profit
margins of 6% means that 6 cents for each dollar of revenue. Net income after bearing in mind
all measures, containing taxes and interest cost, depreciation and calculation: (Ready Ratios,
2011)
Net profit margin =operating profit
sales×100 %two supporters of the cash from the returns
declaration. Lafarge Malayan Berhad PLC: Public Limited Company has had a ratio of 99.2 %
and 98, 9 % from the year 2011 to 2012 individually. But it does not mean company has had a
much of profit on each dollar of sales.
Mavlonbek Soliev Page 10

Net profit margin declined because in 2011 year the expenses of the firm increased and the
spillover effect affected ROCE. However, In order to develop the firm’s profitability the Lafarge
must control its expenses
3.1.2 Return on Capital employed Ratio

stock of stockholders in their firms. There are several purposes of the capitalizing in some
business to get an acceptable profit on speculation. Thus, the coming back on speculation will be
used as a measure of business achievement in appreciating this aim. Relationship among revenue
and homecoming on devoted investment. (Sangster, 2002) These expressions the percentage of
profit on capital in the business, and it is usually used for demonstration the cost-effectiveness
and general business presentation. ROCE’s formula is that is coming next =

3.2 Liquidity
Ability of the firms in order to pay on time and to meet unpredicted needs for cash is called
Liquidity. All associates connected to liquidity and functioning center or share of the functioning
capital debt. Liquidity is thoroughly linked to cash flow, too. (Sangster, 2002)
3.2.1 Current Ratio
Current ratio means whether the company has sufficient cash to run the business day to day
basis. Normally, division amount should be 2:1. Whether, the division is more than the usual
level means which assets is not enough being used by the firms, whether it is less than the level
there is not sufficient cash to drive the business, the company will be face on problems of
liquidity. Current assets ratio is calculated according to this following formula
¿Current Assets= ¿Current liability

The Current ratio of Lafarge Malayan Berhad has ratio of 0, 89 and 1, 17 from 2011 to 2012

has had sufficient cash to control the business in that both two years. (Lafarge Malaysian Berhad,
2012)
3.2.2 Quick Ratio
Liquidity is a quantity of how a business can come across its fiscal duties. Also known as the
quick ratio is calculated with following formula = Current assets−stock= ¿Current liability
¿
(Finace Formulas, 2012)
3.3 Efficiency

Using this ratio to define how long firm’s credit cash to the company belongs to the customers.
This shortens the exploration of accounts receivable that might not constantly be the same credit
terms, what firms has done for consumers. In association with the terms of firm’s loan, they can
evaluate the "quality" of the gathering of accounts receivable obligation. Dated "attitude," that
means that ideas to the effectiveness. Effectiveness and recital associated, corporate productivity,

TradedebtorsCredit sales
×365=days (Bloomberg Businessweek, 2013)
3.3.1 Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio
This is the how assets is being used by the firms, whether the failure, turnover, is higher the
exploitation of assets is better. The formula = Sales∨turnover
¿assets=¿
The Assets Turnover of LMB has had a ratio of 3, 3 and 3, 4 from 2011 to 2012 individually.
The Assets turnover of LMB has had improved by 0.1, which is respectable for the company.

Constructions Material Industry
Capital structure, called a balance of different types of companies to raise long-term funds.
Structure, there are two solutions:
Kind of safeties to issue preference stocks and long-term debt (bonds).
The comparative amount of the safeties in the capital of the firm is divided into two
or
A high attentiveness of the market value of the firm is only a minor portion.
Funding firm concentrating in infection regulator of money.
3.4.1 Capital Gearing Ratio
Diligently related to the constancy of monetary debt to equity ratio. Principal gearing ratio is
mostly used for the analysis of the money edifice. Money gearing ratio’s method as:
Long termloanLongtermloan+shareholders funds
3.4.2 Interest Cover
This element shows if the firm is able to pay off the entirely welfares. Dealers who give loan
are more attentive in this ratio, and whether the ratio is as expected means firm is doing fine, it
has sufficient cash to emolument off. Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT
Interest Expense
3.5 Investors Ratio
Earnings per Share
It can be known that this ratio how much takings on share charges is. One of the crucial ratio is
this that familiar stakeholders are concerned in. the retributions each ordinary share is what are
they involved in. how many times can investments be enclosed by the company.
4.0 Discussion on Limitation of the Ratio Analysis
Mavlonbek Soliev Page 13
Constructions Material Industry
There is nothing perfect in the world, and also ratio analysis. The first limitation for the ratio is
which every company might use dissimilar methods, unlike policy organisation and
intercompany contrast might be a lesser amount of correct. One organization might use direct
method and other company might practise reducing balance method.
Another limitation is which for the problems any solutions will be given by the ratio; it provides
reports on the enactment of the firm. There is another limitation also that is called out-dated
information; the current economic situation will not be presented by the ratios that were
premeditated in the past, what does it mean is collected information in the past cannot match
present-day time. The fourth limitation that is the last of it are indiscriminate, for instance
Lafarge Malayan Berhad has enough stock turnover and material goods industries has a low
stock turnover, it does not say which material goods industries is doing well why? Because is
goods are traded or made a purchased exact fast.
5.0 Conclusion
There are none firm can be shown containing LMB international can check whether is it making
a benefit or loss, this is a so public for the business called liquidity ratios. Liquidity ratios are
used in each business institutions. After all calculations will be done and companies might know
where are they in the business environment or where their position is? Only the way of the
improving economic situation of the firm is checking its results. No doubt, they aware how
assets are being used, how money are being collected from the debtors and paying credits.
Return on investments may be known by the directors, that means cash from the marketing
stocks. How efficiently productivity is being used, which cash to drive the industry. Also
stockholders are interested in the ratios such as receiving each share. Whether the arrival is huge
the connection among consumers and firm will improve advance. All that above, which are the
ways how to analyse the industry actions for creating benefit.
