Industry Overview

Greenply Industries Limited (GIL), a Rs 470 crore, dynamic, professionally


managed Interior Infrastructure Company, is the leader in the plywood and
laminate industry in India. The company was incorporated in August 1984 as a
sawmill unit.

Greenply is a manufacturer of all products related to interior infrastructure from


plywood & boards, flush doors, decorative veneers, decorative laminates to
pre lam MDF and particleboard. The company accounts for 25 per cent of
organized plywood and 15 per cent of organized laminate market.

The company has, over the years, grown as an interior infrastructure solutions
provider that currently manufactures a host of renowned brands such as
Greenply Plywood – ‘Chalta Rahe; Green Club Premium Ply, which comes
with a life time guarantee; Greenlam Laminates, ‘Dikhane Ka Jee Kare’;
and Green Decowood, ‘Visibly Superior Veneers’.

The company has more than 25 branches across the country with a strong
network of over 7,100 dealers, distributors, sub-dealers and retailers. Exports
contribute to around 8% of the company‟s total turnover. Greenply exports its
laminate products to more than 18 countries such as the US, Australia, Malaysia,
Singapore, the UAE, Russia, Israel, and New Zealand among others.
Pioneering the concept of branding for various products and brand building as its
core, the company‟s track record is impeccable as a profit-making dividend
paying company over the last decade with 61% CAGR growth in bottom-line
over the last five years leading to 2006-7.

Greenply has recently merged its subsidiary, Worthy Plywood, into itself. It is
also worth mentioning that Greenply Industries has recently acquired a Mumbai-
based laminates brand, New Mika, to enhance its presence in the Western
markets. It is worth mentioning that The Green group has recently launched its
international arm, GIL Intercontinental PTE Ltd. to market laminates in Asia
Pacific Markets.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific data or


surveys related to the satisfaction of contractors towards the Samriddhi app by
Green Plywood. The satisfaction of contractors with an application or service can
be subjective and may vary based on individual experiences and preferences.
The Samriddhi app by Green Plywood, if it exists or was launched after my last
update, is likely designed to cater to the needs of contractors and individuals
involved in the construction or woodworking industry, providing services,
information, or support related to plywood or other construction materials.
To gauge the satisfaction of contractors towards the Samriddhi app or any
product/service, one might conduct surveys, interviews, or assessments directly
targeting contractors who have used the app. Such feedback mechanisms help in
understanding user experiences, preferences, strengths, and areas that may need
improvement.
To get updated and specific information on contractor satisfaction towards the
Samriddhi app of Green Plywood, I recommend checking recent reviews,
testimonials, or conducting surveys among contractors who have used the app.
Additionally, reaching out to Green Plywood directly or exploring their official
website or social media platforms might provide updated information on user
satisfaction or any modifications made to the app based on user feedback.

Samriddhi App

"Samriddhi App" by Green Plywood. However, the Samriddhi App is

Please note that the features and functionalities of the Samriddhi App
might have evolved or changed after my last update. To get the most
accurate and updated information about the app, its features, and how
it serves contractors or users, I recommend visiting Green Plywood's
official website, contacting their customer support, or exploring app
stores to find and review the app directly. Additionally, user reviews
and ratings on app stores can often provide insights into the user
experience and satisfaction with the application.

ABOUT PRODUCT
(GREEN PLYWOOD)
HISTORY:

The earliest known making of plywood was in 3500 B.C. in ancient Egypt. The
Egyptians, the builders of the pyramids, were the first to create wooden articles
made from sawn veneers glued together crosswise.

They originally did this because there was a shortage of fine wood. Because of
this shortage, thin sheets of high-quality wood were glued over lower-quality
wood for a cosmetic effect. It wasn't done for structural benefits as it is today.

Modern plywood - in which the veneer is cut on a rotary lathe from softwood
logs - is of relatively recent origin, invented by Immanuel Nobel (the father of
the more-famous Alfred Nobel). The first such lathes were set up in the United
States in the mid 19th century. Plywood has been one of the most useful and
most-used building products for decades.

Plywood has become a very common building material in the United States, used
to make everything from furniture to houses.

GREEN PLYWOOD:
Plywood was the first engineered wood invented by man. It is made by stacking
together thin sheets of wood veneer - also called pliers - with the direction of
each ply's grain reversed from its neighboring plies.

These plies are bonded together through intense heat and pressure and strong
adhesives. This makes plywood a type of composite material.

Plywood production requires a good log, called a peeler, generally straighter and
larger in diameter than that required for processing by a sawmill. The log is
peeled into sheets of veneer which are then cut to the desired dimensions, dried,
patched and glued together to form the plywood panel. The panel can then be
patched, resized, sanded or otherwise refinished, depending on the market it was
intended to be sold in.

Plywood is usually used instead of plain wood in situations where the wood
needs to be flexible but stable. Plywood has a strong resistance to shrinking,
twisting and warping because of the differences in the layers.

TYPES OF PLYWOOD:
There are a large number of varieties of plywood. Each is created for a specific
purpose. Different conditions require different types of plywood.
 Softwood plywood
 Decorative plywood
 Indoor Use
 Outdoor Use

Softwood plywood is typically used for construction and industrial purposes, is


made with either Douglas Fir, spruce or pine.
Decorative plywood is usually faced with hardwoods. Such woods include red
oak, birch, maple, lauan (Philippine mahogany) and a large number of other
hardwoods.

Plywood that is made for indoor use is generally made from less expensive
phenol formaldehyde glue (which has limited water resistance), while outdoor
and marine grade plywood are designed to withstand rot and use a water resistant
phenol-resorcinol glue to prevent delamination and retain strength in high
humidity.

The most common varieties of softwood plywood come in three, five or seven
plies with dimensions of 1.2 m × 2.4 m (4 feet × 8 feet). Each ply is 1/8 inch.
Roofing can use the thinnest 3/8-inch plywood. Floorboards are at least 5/8-inch
depending on the distance between floor joists. Plywood is often tongue and
grooved for flooring applications. Two of the edges will have "grooves" notched
into them to fit with the adjacent "tongue" that protrudes from the next board.

GREEN PLYWOOD PROCESS & DESCRIPTION


The plywood process was broken down into six unit processes. The following
are the descriptions of the unit process:

1. Debarking and bucking: This unit process includes mechanically removing


the bark from the logs and cutting them to the proper length to make wood
“blocks” for peeling. Co products generated include bark and some wood waste.
Inputs include electricity to operate equipment and diesel fuel for the log haulers.
2. Conditioning: The wood blocks are heated with either hot water or direct
steam to improve the quality of peeled veneer. There are no co-products and the
inputs include steamed electricity.

3. Peeling and clipping: Blocks are peeled in the lathe to make long ribbons of
veneer that are clipped to size, and sorted by moisture content in preparation for
drying. Co products include roundup wood, peeler cores, veneer clippings and
trim. The inputs include electricity to operate the lathe and conveyor.

4. Veneer drying: Veneers are dried in continuous dryers from moisture


contents of 25–100% down to 3–5% moisture content (oven-dry basis). This is
the most energy intensive unit process and uses various heat sources. Co-
products include veneer downfall and other wood waste. Air emissions occur as
the wood elevates in temperature and the wood dries. Because of high
temperatures of the wood, this process is a primary source of emissions of
volatile organic compounds (VOC). Emissions can also be due to the direct
combustion of natural gas or wood and
Bark hogged fuel at the dryers. Emissions also occur at the hogged wood fuel
boiler that provides steam to the dryers.

5. Lay-up and pressing: Veneers are coated with phenol-formaldehyde resin


and stacked into panels for hot-pressing. Heat and pressure are used in the press
to cure the resin, thereby bonding the veneers to make plywood. There are no co-
products for this unit process. Emissions included those from the wood at
elevated temperatures and the curing of the phenol-formaldehyde resin.
Emissions also occur at the boiler that provides steam to heat the plywood hot
press.
6. Trimming and sawing: Plywood panels coming-out of the press are sawn to
appropriate\dimensions, usually 1.22 × 2.44 m (4 × 8 ft).Co-products include
plywood trim and sawdust. Emissions include a small amount of particulate.

Plywood has many uses. It is used in many situations for many different reasons,
the most common uses and the way it is used in these situations are:
Output : Plywood
1. Floor Sheathing and Underlayment - Plywood provides a superior floor
beneath resilient flooring and carpeting because it is dimensionally stable. It
remains flat to give a smooth, uniform surface that does not crack, cup or twist.
Plywood panels reduce labor and material costs by eliminating the need for
blocking at panel edges.

Sheathing grade is suitable for subflooring, beneath such applications as


hardwood flooring or concrete topped floors.

2. Wall Sheathing - Plywood panels used as wall sheathing provides excellent


resistance to lateral forces such as wind and earthquake loads. Also, damage to
finish materials in the structure due to uneven settling of the frame is minimized
due to the extra rigidity plywood adds to the building.

Plywood sheathing contributes to the over-all thermal performance of the wall


because the large panels have fewer joints through which heat can escape.

3. Roof Sheathing - Plywood is often used for roof sheathing. The panel size
combines speed of erection with lightweight portability. The stiffness of the
panels constitutes diaphragm action when prescribed framing and nailing
patterns are used.
Panels should be applied with the face grain at right angles to the supports to
provide maximum strength.

4. OTHERS -
The product is ideal for:

Furniture Partitions
Panelling
Cavity flooring
Panelled doors
Hoardings
False ceilings and other exterior and semi-exterior applications.
ADVANTAGES:

There are many advantages to using plywood:

1. It comes in a standard size (4 feet x 8 feet)

2. It is very cheap considering the size of the boards


3. It is a very strong wood
4. It is very stable (warping and shrinkage isn't much of a problem)
5. Resistant to boiling water, moisture, dry heat, termite, insects and
pests. 6. Remains unaffected in spite of changing weather conditions.

Really, if plywood did not exist, builders would end up making the same size
pieces of wood from a collection of flat boards. The result would be a much
higher cost for a finished product that isn't as safe or stable.

It is necessary to follow certain precautions to make the film face last longer.

1) Unload carefully.
2) Do not drag & drop from height.
3) Stack on a flat surface.
4) Clean both surfaces after use.
5) Apply mould oil after 3-4 uses.
6) Use sealant on cut edges.
7) Use minimum nails.

SECONDARY DATA:
Consumers have shown a consistent preference for wood as opposed to metal or
plastic furniture. Consequently, it is unlikely that drastic changes occurred in
lumber usage since 1972 despite the high prices for both softwoods and
hardwoods. The 1977 softwood and hardwood lumber use factors are
accordingly projected 0.48 and 1.85 billion board feet per index unit,
respectively. (The Forest Service is currently conducting a new survey on wood
usage in manufacturing. It will be possible to check the accuracy of these
projections later in 1978.)

Green Plywood
Total plywood usage has trended erratically upward during the 4 survey years
(fig. X). Hardwood plywood in particular showed a consistent upward direction
from 0.46 billion square feet per index unit to 0.83 billion-(adjusted to include
kitchen cabinets) in 2005. Softwood plywood rose from 0.28 billion in 2003 to
0.45.(adjusted) in 2005. Both usage factors are expected to show more modest
gains because of increased competition from composition boards. The softwood
and hardwood plywood use factors are projected at 0.45 and .75 billion square
feet per index unit in 2007.

FUTURE PLANS
Greenply Industries has picked up controlling stake in two Gujarat-based
plywood manufacturing companies, Galaxy Decor and Platinum Veneers.
The board cleared that the company‟s proposal is to set up a new laminate
producing unit in Himachal Pradesh as well as a medium densified fiber (MDF)
board production line within the premises of its existing Uttarakhand plant.

Company‟s present force is how directed towards maintaining the pace and we have plans to
expand, diversify and integrate to further our objective and reach new heights.

Here are some general areas where Greenply or similar companies might focus their

future plans:

Product Innovation: Continuously innovating and introducing new products or

improving existing ones to meet evolving customer needs. This could involve

developing environmentally friendly products, enhancing durability, or introducing

new designs.

Market Expansion: Exploring opportunities for expansion into new markets, both

domestically and internationally. This might involve identifying regions with growth

potential and establishing a stronger presence through distribution networks or

partnerships.

Digital Transformation: Embracing digital technologies to improve operations,

enhance customer experiences, and streamline processes. This could include

investments in e-commerce platforms, digital marketing, and automation in

manufacturing.

Sustainability Initiatives: Focusing on sustainability by using eco-friendly materials,

adopting green manufacturing practices, and reducing the environmental impact of

operations. Meeting the demands of environmentally conscious consumers is

increasingly important.
Customer-Centric Approach: Strengthening customer relationships by offering

excellent after-sales service, implementing feedback mechanisms, and customizing

products or services to meet specific customer requirements.

Operational Efficiency: Implementing cost-effective measures, optimizing supply

chain management, and improving operational efficiency to enhance productivity and

profitability.

Diversification and Acquisitions: Exploring opportunities for diversification into

related sectors or acquiring complementary businesses to expand the product portfolio

or market reach.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR): Engaging in CSR activities to contribute to

society, support communities, and build a positive brand image.

For the most accurate and updated information on Greenply Industries' future plans and

strategies, I recommend referring to the company's official announcements, annual

reports, press releases, investor presentations, or any recent updates available through

financial regulatory authorities or the company's website. These sources will provide

detailed insights into the company's direction and plans for the future.
RECRUITMENT STRATEGY
Recruitment, covering the entire process of sourcing, selecting, and onboarding
employees to an organization, is a function typically housed within Human Resources.
The person responsible fordeveloping effective recruiting strategies will usually be a
talent acquisition manager, director ofpersonnel, or a recruiting/sourcing manager.
Recruiting program changes at a strategic level mayinclude the enhancement of
candidate communications, the development of talent pipe-lining, succession planning,
the optimization of recruitment channels, re-evaluation of interviewing

Salary and benefits

Pioneering the concept of branding for various products and brand building
as its core, the company‟s track record is impeccable as a profit-making
dividend paying company over the last decade with 61% CAGR growth in
bottom-line over the last five years leading to 2006-7.

Greenply has recently merged its subsidiary, Worthy Plywood, into itself. It
is also worth mentioning that Greenply Industries has recently acquired a
Mumbai-based laminates brand, New Mika, to enhance its presence in the
Western markets. It is worth mentioning that The Green group has recently
launched its international arm, GIL Intercontinental PTE Ltd. to market
laminates in Asia Pacific Markets.

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I don't have specific data


or surveys related to the satisfaction of contractors towards the Samriddhi
app by Green Plywood. The satisfaction of contractors with an application
or service can be subjective and may vary based on individual experiences
and preferences.
The Samriddhi app by Green Plywood, if it exists or was launched after my
last update, is likely designed to cater to the needs of contractors and
individuals involved in the construction or woodworking industry,
providing services, information, or support related to plywood or other
construction materials.
To gauge the satisfaction of contractors towards the Samriddhi app or any
product/service, one might conduct surveys, interviews, or assessments
directly targeting contractors who have used the app. Such feedback
mechanisms help in understanding user experiences, preferences, strengths,
and areas that may need improvement.
To get updated and specific information on contractor satisfaction towards
the Samriddhi app of Green Plywood, I recommend checking recent
reviews, testimonials, or conducting surveys among contractors who have
used the app. Additionally, reaching out to Green Plywood directly or
exploring their official website or social media platforms might provide
updated information on user satisfaction or any modifications made to the
app based on user feedback.

Samriddhi App

"Samriddhi App" by Green Plywood. However, the Samriddhi


App is a digital platform developed by Green Plywood to cater to
the needs of contractors, carpenters, or individuals involved in the
construction or woodworking industry.
This application could potentially offer various features and
services, such as:
Product Information: Details about different types of plywood,
their specifications, grades, and usage recommendations.
Ordering System: A platform for placing orders for plywood or
other construction materials directly through the app.
Technical Support: Access to guidance, tips, and technical
information related to working with plywood and construction.
Dealer Locator: Assistance in finding nearby dealers or outlets
selling Green Plywood products.
Customer Support: A channel for users to seek help, address
queries, or provide feedback.

Please note that the features and functionalities of the Samriddhi


App might have evolved or changed after my last update. To get
the most accurate and updated information about the app, its
features, and how it serves contractors or users, I recommend
visiting Green Plywood's official website, contacting their
customer support, or exploring app stores to find and review the
app directly. Additionally, user reviews and ratings on app stores
can often provide insights into the user experience and satisfaction
with the application.

Company Goals

The Chairman of Greenply, Mr.S.P.Mittal says “We are ENVIRONMENT


conscious". It is not a concern. It's a responsibility. And we at the house of
"GREEN" take it very seriously. The GREEN GROUP thus utilizes
technology with responsibility seeing to the fact that the EARTH remains as
"GREEN" as it always needs to be. This is our way of paying homage to
Motlior Naturo. The Group employs over 2500 people in different cadre.
The word "GREEN" may sound antithesis to our area of activity but we do
what we believe in. The main concern of the group has been most effective
and economic utilisation of the scarce natural resources and converting
them into durable quality utilities. We work in volume and this has helped
us to maintain moderate price level.

Our total thought has thus been translated into our company logo in the
form of a "Green Leaf." The colour represents that of a tender leaf,
indicating that we are young and have a lot more to contribute.

OBJECTIVE: Our vision is continued improvement across all qualitative and


quantitative dimensions creating synergies and efficiencies to produce and distribute
high quality products at economical cost. The Company with focused

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS INGREEN PLYWOOD

Training in Indian Company is a continuous and unique process which unlocks the employees„
latent potential by imparting knowledge, sharpening professional skills and reorienting proactive
attitudes to integrate individual development with organisational growth and excellence.

The quality of employees and their development through training and education are major factors
in determining long-term profitability of a small business. If you hire and keep good employees,
it is good policy to invest in the development of their skills, so they can increase their
productivity.

Training often is considered for new employees only. This is a mistake because ongoing training
for current employees helps them adjust to rapidly changing job requirements.
Purpose of employees training and development process:

Reasons for emphasizing the growth and development of personnel include

Creating a pool of readily available and adequate replacements for personnel who may
leave or move up in the organization.
Enhancing the company's ability to adopt and use advances in technology because of a
sufficiently knowledgeable staff.
Building a more efficient, effective and highly motivated team, which enhances the
company's competitive position and improves employee morale.

the material gains that result from their increased productivity. These factors give them a sense
of satisfaction through the achievement of personal and company goals.

Meritasabasisof promotion:-

Merit is taken to denote an individual employee„s skills, knowledge, ability, efficiency and
aptitude as measured from educational, training and past employment record. The merits of merit
system of promotion are:

1) The resources of higher order of an employee can be better utilized at a higher level. It
result in maximum utilization of human resources in an organization

2) Competent employees are motivated to exert all their resources and contribute them to the
organizational efficiency and effectiveness

3) It works as golden hand-cuffs regarding employee turnover,

4) Further it continuously encourages the employees to acquire new skill, knowledge etc. for
all-round development.

Despite these advantages the merit systems suffer from some demerit. They are:
1) Measurement or judging of merit is highly difficult.

2) Many people, particularly trade union leaders, distrust the management„s integrity in
judging merit.

3) The techniques of merit measurement are subjective.

4) Merit denotes mostly the past achievement, efficiency but not the future success. Hence,
the purpose of promotion may not be served if merit is taken as sole criteria for promotion.
level of skill acquired by an employee in an organization. This system is also based on the
custom that the first in should be given first chance in all benefit and privileges.

Advantages of seniority as a basis of promotion are:

1) It is relatively easy to measure the length of service and judge the seniority.

2) There would be full support of the trade unions to this system.

3) Every party trust the management„s action as there is no scope for favoritism and
discrimination and judgment.

4) It gives a sense of certainty of getting promotion to every employee and of their turn of
promotion.

5) Senior employees will have a sense of satisfaction to this system as the older employees
are respected and their inefficiency cannot be pointed out.

6) It minimizes the scope for grievances and conflicts regarding promotion.

7) This system seems to reserve the purpose in the sense that employees may learn more with
increase in the length of service.

In spite of these merits, this system also suffers from certain limitations. They are:

1) The assumption that the employees learn more relatively with length of service is not valid
as this assumption has reverse effect. In other words employees learn up to a certain age and
beyond that stage the learning ability of the cognitive process diminishes.

2) It denominates the young and more competent employees and results in employee turnover
particularly among the dynamic force.

3) It kills the zeal and interest to develop as everybody will be promoted with or without
improvement.

υψχ 95
4) Organizational effectiveness may be diminishes through the deceleration of the human
resource effectiveness as the human resource consists of mostly undynamic and old blood.

5) Judging the seniority though it seems to be in the theoretical sense. it is highly difficult in
practice as the problems like job seniority, company seniority, zonal/regional seniority, service in
different organizations, experience as apprentice trainee, trainee, researcher, length of service not
only by days but hours and minutes will crop up.

Thus the two main basic of promotion enjoy certain advantages and at the same time suffer from
certain limitations. Hence, a combination of both of them may be regarded as an effective basis

1) Minimum length of service and merit:-


Under this method all those employees who complete the minimum service, say five years, are
made eligible for promotion and then merit is taken as the sole criteria for selecting the employee
for promotion from the eligible candidates. Most of the commercial bank in India has been
following this method for promoting the employees from clerk„s position to officer„s position.

2) Measurements of seniority and merit through a common factor.


3) Minimum merit and seniority:-
In contrast to the earlier methods, minimum score of merit which is necessary for the acceptable
performance on the future job is determined and all the candidates who secure minimum score

(40%) deemed it "Very Hard to use."
The "Total" row indicates that the sum of respondents across all ease of use levels is 100, and the
sum of percentages is also 100%, which is expected in a well-constructed distribution.
Understanding perceived ease of use is crucial for organizations to evaluate the user-friendliness of
their products or services and make informed decisions about user interface design or instructional
materials.

LIMITATIONS

1. The future is uncertain :-


The future in any country is uncertain i.e. there are political, cultural, technological
changes taking place every day. This effects the employment situation. Accordingly the
company may have to appoint or remove people. Therefore HRP can only be a guiding
factor. We cannot rely too much on it and do every action according to it.

2. Conservative attitude of top management :-


Much top management adopts a conservative attitude and is not ready to make changes.
The process of HRP involves either appointing. Therefore it becomes very difficult to
implement HRP in organization because top management does not support the decisions
of other department.

117
3. Problem of surplus staff :-
HRP gives a clear out solution for excess staff i.e. Termination, layoff, VRS,. However
when certain employees are removed from company it mostly affects the psyche of the
existing employee, and they start feeling insecure, stressed out and do not believe in the
company. This is a limitation of HRP i.e. it does not provide alternative solution like re-
training so that employee need not be removed from the company.

4. Time consuming activity :-


HRP collects information from all departments, regarding demand and supply of personnel.
This information is collected in detail and each and every job is considered. Therefore the
activity takes up a lot of time.

5. Expensive process :-
The solution provided by process of HRP incurs expense.company has to spend a lot of
money in carrying out the activity. Hence we can say the process is expensive.

FACTS AND FINDING


MARKETING STRATEGIES OF ITC LIMITED

Marketing has been defined in various ways, but it can be defined as:

A social and managerial process by which individuals and groups obtain what they
need and want through Creating, Offering, Exchanging Products of value with
others. There are certain elements on which marketing and this particular definition
of marketing rests. They are linked to each other and they are complimentary one
giving rise to the other. Their relationship is shown in a diagrammatic form below.

118
Exchange and Transaction
Marketing is indeed an ancient art; it has been practiced in one form or the other.
Marketing is considered to be most important of all management functions in any
business. The basic task of marketing is the delivery of a total offer to the consumer

of promotion measures like personal selling, advertising and sales promotional
programmes with a view to communicating with the consumer and promoting the
product. Lastly, the firm uses the pricing mechanism to achieve the consummation
of the marketing process, striking the level of price that is acceptable to the firm as
wall as to the consumer. All activities and programmes which a business firm
designs and carries out in its effort towards winning customers, relate to one or the
other of the four elements -product, distribution, pricing and promotion. These four
elements constitute the Marketing Mix of the firm.

INTERRELATIONSIP BETWEEN MARKETING MIX AND
ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES

Since the marketing process is essentially an interaction between the marketing mix
and the environment I assembling and managing the marketing mix becomes the
crux of the marketing task. In fact many marketing scholars and marketing
practitioners view marketing as synonymous with the assembling and operating of
the marketing mix. Assembling the marketing mix elements into a winning
marketing programme is however, not an easy job. It involves many crucial
decisions relating to each of the elements product, price, channel and promotion.
Decisions are also required on the interrelationships of the elements.

Product

A product is not a mere non -living object; it is not a mere assemblage of matter -
physical and chemical. Utility alone is not the function of a product. A product
means something more than a physical commodity. People associate meanings with
products; they derive satisfaction from the non -utility aspects of the products as
well. Products have an identity or a personality of their own. The utility aspect of
the product is but one component of the product personality.

Theodore Levitt puts it succinctly when he says: “Products are almost always
combinations of the tangible and intangible... to the buyer, a product is a complex
cluster of value satisfactions. The generic thing by itself is not the product; it is
merely... the minimum that is necessary at the outset to give the producer a chance
to play the game. It is the playing that gets the results. A customer attaches value to
a product in proportion to its perceived ability to help solve his problems or meet
his needs. All else is derivative...The product is the total package of benefits the
customer receives when he buys it...The customer never just buys the generic
product...He buys something that transcends and what that something is, helps
determines from whom he'll buy, what he'll pay.”

Product definition concerns the various properties, which are designed into the
manufacturer's product line and the assortment of models and items, i.e., the product
mix, which makes up his total product offering. The conditions and circumstances,
which need to be considered in formulating this definition, can be divided into
123
those, which influence the development of new products, those, which relate to the
product mix, and those, which stem from the attributes of the company itself.

New-product development involves several stages, beginning with the genera tion of
new-product ideas and their appraisal to eliminate those unworthy of further
consideration. Products, which warrant additional investigations are identified and
technical work is begun on them along with, appropriate economic and market
research. During this stage the physical properties of the new product are
determined, small quantities are produced in the laboratory or pilot plant,
preliminary investigation of patent rights is begun, and initial estimates of
production costs are made. If initial expectations are fulfilled, development of the
product proceeds through process research, prototype testing, and
commercialisation.

The major determinants of the product mix are technology, competition, operating
capacity, and market factors. Accelerating technology is undoubtedly the basic force
affecting the product mix of the individual company, with competitive pressures
running a close second. In some companies, under -utilised capacity is an -important
influence along with such market factors as shits in the product mix of customers,
changes in the availability and / or cost of materials, new developments in
manufacturing processes, changes in the level of business activity, and government
controls.

The type and variety of products, which are appropri ate for a company, are also a
function of the firm's inherent strengths and weaknesses. Those attributes of
accompany with the most direct bearing on product definition are the strength of its
marketing performance, the extent of its production capacity, t he quality of its R&D
effort, and the abilities of its executive group. The amount of financial slack
available may also be an important influence on product definition.

Price

Price is the exchange value of a product. Pricing is undoubtedly one of the mo st


important decision areas of marketing. Price and sales volume together decide the
revenue of any business. As the sales volume in itself is dependent on price, pricing
really becomes the key to the revenue of the business. Pricing is crucial to profits as
124
well. Pricing becomes a vital decision area on account of certain other factors
besides its crucial role in bringing revenues and profits to the business.

Price is not only the factor influencing the demand for industrial goods and the
patronage of industrial buyers; it is an indispensable part of the marketing strategy.
A price that is too high invites both competition and buyer resistance. While a price
that is too low may well competition, it will also deflate profits and may incur
losses.

In many instance the prices of industrial goods fall into patterns that are fairly
uniform throughout an industry. Nevertheless, a marketer mist decide whether or not
to follow industry patterns, and if not, how much to deviate from them. These
decisions must be made against a background of environmental forces including
competition, changing costs and shifting patterns of demand.

To price the equipment the industrial marketer must know the type of competition in
his industry, the nature of his costs, and the way i n which the demand for his
product behaves.

The typical industrial market is composed of a small group of large firms, a more
numerous group of medium-sized firms, and often a group of very small companies,
which sell mainly on the basis of price. The fir st two groups are likely to subscribe
to the philosophy of responsible competition. However, the nature and intensity of
competition tends to change with the changes in the lifecycle of products. These
conditions often give rise to a phenomenon known as pr ice leadership.

The nature and pricing implications of costs tend to change with different time
periods production cycle, equipment use cycle or product life cycle. Different types
of costs-controllable or non-controllable, incremental or sunk, overhead o r direct,
separable, and joint -exercise different influences on pricing.

The derived nature of demand for industrial goods affects its behaviour in response
to price change. While it is theoretically possible to stimulate demand for industrial
products by lowering their price, increased sales will result only to the extent that
prices of related consumer goods can be reduced sufficiently to stimulate their sales.

125
Place

Distribution channels playa vital role in the successful marketing of most of the
products. The distribution channel is an extension of the manufacturer into the
markets he plans to supply. The manner in which products and services are made
available through it is a function of its structure as well as the relationship, which
prevails among its different elements or intermediaries. The basic choice is whether
this structure will be composed of captive (owned) or independent units.

Since a distribution channel exists for the purpose of moving merchandise and
making services available, chann el strategy also involves planning of a logistical
nature. How efficiently the channel structure functions as the delivery system
depends in large part on the quality of logistical planning and its execution.

Distributors are the most numerous and the most important group of middlemen
handling industrial goods. Industrial users find it desirable to buy from the
distributor because he usually can give quick delivery, his use saves paper work in
buying, he can sometimes offers low prices, adjustments are easier to negotiate, he
may enable the buyer to save freight costs, and he is a good source of trade
information. The patronage of the distributor thus comes mainly from (1) the firm
too small to buy direct, (2) the large firms for emergency needs and items bought in
small amounts, or as means of reducing inventory.

Manufacturer's and sales agents are useful outlets to producers of a single item or a
narrow line of articles, to the manufacturer with limited financ es, and to all kinds of
manufacturers in areas where demand is thin or trade contracts are lacking.
Advantages in using agents are that their costs are often relatively low and the
producer incurs no costs unless sales are made, they offer contracts to a f irm
entering a new market, and their sales service is more specialised and intense than
that of the distributor. But the manufacturer who markets through agents loses
control over his marketing operations, lacks flexibility in bidding, incurs excessive
costs when volume is large, loses speed of delivery, quality of technical service, and
selling drive in comparison with his own sales force. Brokers and commission
merchants are useful mainly in special situations.

126
Manufacturer's branch houses are of two typ es those that carry stocks and those that
do not. Through the branch house, the manufacturer gets better sales service, more
adequate and representative stocks, and control of technical and maintenance
service. But branch houses are often so costly as to b e prohibitive.

Promotion

The crucial event in the marketing process is the sale. Within the context of the
corporate mission, every component of the marketing strategy is intended to bring it
about. But 1t must be brought about in a way, which assures cu stomer satisfaction.
This places a special burden on advertising, personal selling, sales promotion, and to
a lesser extent, public relations, which are the principal avenues through which
direct contact with the customer is made. Each has a unique contrib ution to make
both in generating sales and in sustaining customer patronage.

The task of the industrial advertiser is complicated by the multiple buying influence
characteristics of many industrial firms, the derived nature of demand for industrial
goods, and the fact that many materials, parts, and components lose their identity in
the end product. These conditions influence the role of advertising in the firm's
promotional strategy, which in turn has a bearing on the purposes which advertising
will be called upon to serve. While these purposes vary with the firm and the market
situation, several are fairly common. They are to inform, to identify the customers,
to win recognition, to support salesman, to motivate distributors, and to stimulate
demand.

The most commonly used media for disseminating advertising messages and the
sales appeal which they contain are trade journals and catalogues, followed by direct
mail, exhibits, general publications, and distributor aids. The choice of media is
determined by the need to reach the proper personnel in the customer's organization
with the proper frequency with proper overall impression.

The chief limiting factor underlying factor underlying the advertising effort is the
amount of budgetary support management de cides to give it. Sometimes this is
determined through the application of a fixed percentage to either last year's sales or
anticipated sales.

127
Publicity is commonly regarded as a form of advertising, although it performs a
slightly different function and is not paid by the sponsor. The most effective way to
create publicity is to generate newsworthy situations and events. Advertising
agencies are probably used less by industrial than by consumer goods marketers to
assist in their advertising and publicity. However, this appears to be changing as:
the number of agencies specialising in industrial accounts increases and the number,
which offers promotional services on a job -shop basis, continues to grow.

In selling products, the promotion mix mostly consists of Direct Selling and
advertising. Being high value items and complex in function, personal contact with
the customer is essential to convince him of the product's quality and capability.

It is not so, however, with consumer products. In spite of this ma ny consumer


product companies use Direct Selling in concert with advertising, to get consumers
to try their brand and switch over to it. But direct selling cannot substitute for
advertising; it can only be used tactically to intensify the marketing effort, mainly
because it is expensive.

MARKETING COMMUNICATIONS

FMCG - Cigarettes business has an internal code for advertising/ promotions, which is
reviewed every year, and whenever any new law/rules are introduced. The internal code is
more stringent than other codes. It not only comprehensively covers all aspects of other
codes but also encompasses areas not covered by them. The requirements under
Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) code of conduct, which is now the
Government of India's Governing code, are applied across the business.

All laws related to the product category such as The Cigarettes (Regulation of Production,
Supply and Distribution) Act, 1975, The Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products
(Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply
and Distribution) Act, 2003, The Cable Television Networks (Regulation) Act, 1995, and
The Cinematography Act, 1952, which have provisions for regulations of
advertising/promotions in India are strictly followed.

Any State Government laws on advertising/promotion for ITC's products are completely
adhered to. There is on-going review of these codes to ensure compliance.

128
The FMCG Cigarettes business sells a legal product, which is not banned in any market
where it sells. Tobacco products are often a subject of public debate. Stringent quality
standards/systems are established to respond to queries/ concerns and are known to all
stakeholders.

The Foods business voluntarily follows the ASCI (Advertising Standards Council of
India) Code for all Marketing Communication.

Every time a new Marketing Communication is created, it is checked for compliance with
the ASCI Code. In addition, a monthly compliance validation is done by respective
managers.

The Foods business does not sell any product which is 'banned in certain markets' or is 'the
subject of stakeholder questions or public debate'.

In the Paperboards & Specialty Papers, Packaging & Printing and Greeting, Gifting
and Stationery businesses, all codes/ standards relating to Standard Weights & Measures
Rules are followed. These requirements are reviewed on a monthly basis for compliance.
None of the products from these businesses is 'banned in certain markets' or subject of
stakeholder concern or public debate.

In the Hotels business, marketing communication is governed by self-regulation and


guided by Indian Society of Advertisers (ISA) Rules and guidelines.

It is reviewed quarterly to ensure compliance with relevant rules and internal guidelines.

The Hotels business does not sell any product banned in the market nor is the subject of
stakeholder questions or public debate.

Agri-business has not advertised its product and services in a major way and no voluntary
code is therefore required to be followed. Communications and promotions done so far
have been in accordance with the law of the land and have been duly approved by the Legal
Department of the Company.

The business is in the process of establishing a voluntary code, as it has recently initiated
advertising its retail business.

The Leaf Tobacco business provides Corporate Advertisements (e.g. 'With best
compliments from ITC Ltd'. etc.) to souvenirs published by certain organisations. This is in
129
accordance with the provisions of Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (Prohibition
of Advertising and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and
Distribution) Act, 2003. However, the business does advertise its Organic Agri-inputs. The
business also publishes Corporate Advertisements (stating that ITC-ILTD is India's leading
tobacco exporter and providing contact details) in reputed International Tobacco Journals.

No product advertisement relating to tobacco is published by the business. The business


also maintains a website, 'itc-iltd.com', which provides the details of Tobaccos grown in
different regions of India. All the advertisements published in various fora are reviewed by
the Divisional Management Committee (DMC) e

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
My experience of making a Product Profile is wonderful because it gives me a lot
of valuable & knowledgeable information. After preparing a product profile I come
to know that what researches should be conduct before launching any product in
the market. For promoting the sales of any product it is necessary to fulfill the
expectations of the consumers related to a particular product and this profile helps
me to know how to target the customer or how to reach the customer and how to
satisfy them.

It is necessary for every company to expand the market of their product for
surviving in a market and for expanding the market “Positioning of the market” is
very necessary. This profile also helps me in the same.

In this way I can easily say that “product Profile” is really a wonderful experience
for me.
