Overview of Company
The story of John Deere the man, who developed the world's first commercially
successful, self-scouring steel plow, closely parallels the settlement and
development of the Midwestern United States, an area that the homesteaders of the
19th century considered the golden land of promise. The full story of John Deere
the company over the last 170 years is one of people, places and products that
reflect our core values of integrity, quality, commitment and innovation.
One of the five oldest companies in the United States, Deere & Company is the
world's largest manufacturer of agricultural equipment and a major U.S. producer
of construction, forestry, and lawn and grounds care equipment. The company has
factories throughout the world and distributes its products in more than 160
countries through independent retail dealers--nearly 5,000 worldwide. It is also
active in financial services. Deere has been an industry innovator since John Deere
introduced the first successful self-cleaning steel plow in 1837. At that time, most
Americans lived on farms; now many of Deere's customers belong to the upper 5
percent of the nation's farmers, who take in 80 percent of the net farm income;
these farmers run big farms that need sophisticated equipment.
Born in 1804 in Vermont, John Deere was a blacksmith renowned for his
craftsmanship and inventiveness. After a business depression in the 1830s, Deere,
like many young Easterners, migrated west. He settled in Grand Detour, Illinois,
where his blacksmith business thrived. He soon saw that the cast-iron hand plow
that pioneers had brought from the East did not work well in Midwestern soil,
which clung to the plow's bottom and made it necessary for the farmer to scrape
off the soil every few feet. Deere developed a plow with a polished and specially
shaped moldboard and share, which scoured itself after lifting the soil.
This first plow was made from a broken saw blade, but the tool quickly became so
popular with Deere's customers that he began to make plows before he got orders
for them--a revolutionary practice in those days. In 1843 Deere ordered a shipment
of rolled steel from England. This move enabled him to expand his business, and
three years later, he was able to get steel made to his specifications from
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania mills. In 1847 Deere moved his business to Moline,
Illinois, near the Mississippi River, which provided water power and convenient
transportation. By 1850 he was producing 1,600 plows a year.
Known to say, "I will never put my name on a plow that does not have in it the
best that is in me," Deere continued to improve his plows and to tailor them for
different soil conditions. In 1868 the business was incorporated as Deere &
Company. In 1869 Deere named his son, Charles Deere, vice-president and

treasurer of the company. When John Deere died in 1886, Charles succeeded him
as president.
Deere & Company, founded in 1837 (collectively called John Deere), has grown
from a one-man blacksmith shop into a corporation that today does business
around the world and employs more than 50,000 people. The company continues
to be guided, as it has been since its beginning, by the core values exhibited by its
founder: integrity, quality, commitment and innovation.

GLOBAL PRESENCE
Deere & Co. has made continuing efforts to expand its global presence selling
agricultural equipment in more than 110 countries. In 1996 its overseas sales were
responsible for one-fourth of the company's combined equipment sales. The
company has been able to make greater inroads in a number of foreign markets
with the easing of trade barriers. This has allowed Deere to manufacture tractors in
Brazilthe biggest Latin American market. Deere also opened an office in Beijing
and continues to seek production and marketing of agricultural equipment there.
All in all, a rise in worldwide farm incomes coupled with flourishing economic
climates in North America have contributed to the company's global expansion.
Consistent with its strategic goals, Deere & Company has been anxious to
capitalize on growing economies around the world that have a higher demand for
agricultural goods. The company recently expanded its international sales to
include the Ukraine and Kazakhstan. These growing economies have also
produced strong markets for industrial and construction equipment. Many of these
nations are also looking for diesel engines with clean emissions and economic fuel
consumption.
The popularity of golf in parts of Asia has resulted in increased sales of golf and
turf equipment in that region. The rise in demand for golf course maintenance
equipment has boosted Deere's financial assistance programs, particularly John
Deere Credit, which has expanded to include Canada, Mexico, and the United
Kingdom.
For Deere & Co., 1996 was a financially rewarding year for overseas operations.
Sales leaped to $2.7 billion, an increase of over $500 million from the previous
year. The company has cited sales increases in Europe, Australia, and Argentina as
contributing factors for such growth. Deere also experienced a 30-percent increase
of exports in the first quarter of 1997 due to healthy agricultural economies in
Europe, Australia, and South Africa. It also signed a deal with the former Soviet
republic of Ukraine to sell 1,049 combinesthe biggest business deal in Deere's

history. With overseas sales on the rise, Deere & Co. also increased its share of
ownership in its Mexican and Brazilian businesses.

John Deere finances its sales to dealers, allowing them to defer payment for
several months. Dealers, not wanting to chance missing a sale, tended to order
more than they needed to avoid out-of-stocks. Salespeople, compensated by
commission, had a natural tendency to sell as much as a dealer wanted.
To squeeze excess inventory out of its supply chain, John Deere needed to
convince its dealers that it could come up with a more efficient method to ensure
that its products would be available when they were needed.
While supply chain management systems can generate production and inventory
plans, Tayur says, they generally assume that nothing will change once the plan
has been created. But real-world conditions -- severe weather, transportation
disruptions, labor disputes -- can alter demand and availability, disrupt the supply
chain at any stage and have a ripple effect throughout it.
John Deere was able to improve its on-time delivery to dealers dramatically and
convince them that with its optimization software, it could meet their needs
without running out of product. The company altered its dealer financing to cover
the optimum level of inventory only, as determined by the optimization software.
Now, dealers can purchase more if they choose to, but John Deere doesn't finance
it.
To date, John Deere has achieved 90 percent of its dollar goal for inventory
reduction and improved on-time delivery to its dealers from 63 percent to 92
percent.

While John Deere's situation involves thousands of dealers and products over
multiple locations, smaller enterprises can benefit from optimization software as
well. If a company has several locations, a couple dozen products and a few
hundred customers over multiple time zones, the complexity can get
overwhelming very quickly.

Marketing Strategy of John Deere

Direct/relationship marketing: presents a unique challenge to marketing

departments within the agricultural industry John Deere is using direct marketing.
Narrowing the marketing strategy to target audiences often only a few thousand
strong is similar to asking marketers to hit a bulls-eye with each shot. Although the
target audience
The importance of the campaign is amplified because the product is specifically
tailored for this set of prospective buyers.
Direct marketing gives a company the opportunity to personally reach out to
producers. This chance to make a great impression cannot be squandered. Of
course, marketing strategies vary within companies, but a few stand out from the
crowd.
Direct/relationship marketing as a strategy focused on delivering specific
messages to narrowly defined target audiences. John Deere personalized tactics
such as direct mail and telemarketing with the goal of creating a one-to-one,
interactive relationship between the customer or prospect, our dealer and AGCO,
the manufacturer. The ultimate goal of our programs is to generate qualified sales
leads for our dealer network.
John Deere is use relationship marketing to enhance our value to customers
through the services, resources and offers that we bring to them alongside our
quality products. John Deere believe that relationship marketing efforts strive to
establish a dialogue with customers in order to align our value offering with their
unique needs and interests. It is important to synchronize these efforts across sales,
marketing and customer support in order to deliver a seamless, consistent
experience to customers.
John Deere Credit facility: The ultimate goal of direct marketing/relationship
marketing is to increase products/services per customer, and ideally profit-percustomer. John Deere Credit closely aligns their marketing efforts with the John
Deere Ag Equipment Division.

Training Material
Once the training course begins the delegate will be provided with a

may be loaned for the course or delegates may be asked to bring their own from
the dealership.

counts towards the Personal Training Certificate. In addition to this test the

Merit, which is valid for three years for display in a customer area of the
dealership (right).

on the level of achievement of the delegate on the course, Bronze being fair, Silver
being good and Gold being outstanding. They are also designed to provide a
personal training record for each delegate when inserted in the delegates Training
Passport.

Data collection and analyses

No advertisement: In India also John Deere is not giving ads in any source
of medium because John Deere believe in relationship with all dealers and
customers that is why they are not giving any ads. John Deere also believe
that promotion of product is more effective.

Only one training centre in India: John Deere is having only one training
centre in India and for all cities in India it covers

Major sales in Punjab and Hariyana: John Deere is major sales area in
India are Punjab and Hariyana and John Deere is more focus on that areas.

Provide credit facility to distributors, retailers, and farmers: As you

know no one is giving credit or loan facility, but John Deere is giving that
good much facility and as I met with the Manish Rajwal he told that in
each level company give the loan andd credit facility like for equipment,
product, dealership etc.

Company is not listed in any stock exchange in India and John Deere raise
a fund throw HDFC Bank, Shriram Transport Finance Company, Sundaram
Finance, and Cholamandalam.

Conclusion and Suggestions

John Deere should listed in Indian stock exchange: India John Deere
give credit facility to all dealers and customers and but John Deere is not
listed in Indian Stock exchange that is why when ever John Deere is require
the fund company takes loan from private institute and they charges high
rate of interest.

Marketing strategy should be change: Company is having major sales in

Hariyana and Punjab and as company is not giving any ads in print media
and electronic media. But I suggest to John Deere that is should be give ads
in both of medium because it is not possible that company cover the all the
village for given the live demo of the product but by giving the ads in both
medium people can aware about the product as you know that company os
having less market share in India but by giving the ads company can aware
about the product and company is self.
