Exporters should change biz model: Assocham survey
	NEW DELHI: Indian exporters, who battled an appreciating rupee through 2007-08, need to make mammoth adjustments in their business modules, besides reducing dependence on government support to enhance their global competitiveness in the current fiscal, a survey has said. In a survey by Assocham and portal tradeindia.com, a majority of respondents felt that instead of looking for support from the government, exporters need to study details of changing designs, product development, production facilities and techniques to increase their competitiveness vis-a-vis other nations. Exporters need to make large-scale adjustments in their business modules as well as streamline operations and study global market expectations, it added.
