ORGANISATIONAL STUDY AT KS & DL INDUSTRY PROFILE:


Soap is one of the commodities which have become an indispensable part of the life of modern world. Since it is non durable consumer goods, there is a large market for it. The whole soap industry is experiencing changes due to innumerable reasons such as government relations environment and energy problems increase in cost of raw material etc. The changing technology and ever existing desire by the individual and the organization to produce a better product at a more economical rate has also acted as catalyst for the dynamic process of change. More and more soap manufactures are trying to capture a commanding market share by introducing and maintaining acceptable products. The soap industry in India faces a cut throat competition while multinational companies dominate the market. They are also facing severe threat from dynamic and enterprising new entrance especially during 1991-92. If we look back into the history of soaps & detergents, mankind knew about soaps nearly 2000 years back i.e. in 70 A.D. when Mr. Elder accidentally discovered the soap, when roasted meat over flowed on the glow in ashes. This lump like product was soap & had foaming & cleansing character. In 1192 A.D. the first commercial batch of soaps was made & marketed by M/s Bristol soap market in London, from there in 1662A.D. the first patent for making soap was taken in London. The world consumption of soap in 1884A.D. was said to be 2 lakh tonnes p.a.

HISTORY OF THE SOAP:


Soap manufacturing was started in North America. Some American companies with well known names were started 200 years ago. During middle age soap was made at various places in Italy, France, England & other countries. France became famous & many small factories were established there. In India the first soap industry was established by North West soap company in1897 at Meerat following the Swadeshi movement. From 1905 onwards few more factories were setup. They are, Mysore soap factory at Bangalore Godrej soap at Bombay Bengal chemicals Tata oil mills 1930 lever brothers company

THE INDIAN SOAP INDUSTRY SCENARIO: The Indian soap industry has long been dominated by hand full of companies such as: 1. Hindustan levers limited. 2. Tata oil mills (taken over by HLL) 3. Godrej soaps private limited. The Indian soap industry continued to flourish very well until 1967-68, but began to stagnate & soon it started to recover & experienced a short upswing in 1974. This increase in demand can be attributed due to; 1. Growth of population. 2. Income & consumption increase. 3. Increase in urbanization. 4. Growth in degree of personal hygiene.

5. Soap manufacture has 2 classifications, organized and unorganized sectors. KSDL comes under organized sector.

PRESENT STATUS:
Market scenario: India is the ideal market for cleaning products. The countrys per capita consumption of detergent powders & bars stands at 1.6kg & soaps at543Gm. Hindustan liver, which towers over the cleaning business, sells in all over the cleaning business but the tiniest of Indian settlements. The 7.4lakhs tons per annum soap market in India in crawling along at 4%. The hope lies in raising Rupee worth, the potential for which is high because the Indian soap market is pseudo in nature & it is amazingly complex being segmented not only on the basis of price benefits, but even a range of emotions within that outlining framework. PROBLEMS OF SOAP INDUSTRY: Soap industry faces some problems incase of raw materials. The major ingredients are soap ash, linear alkyl, benzene& sodium. Tripoli phosphate poses number of serious problems in terms of availability. The demand supply gap for vegetable oil is 1.5 to 2 lakhs tons & is met through imports. In recent times, caustic soda and soap ashes in the cheaper varieties of soaps are quite high.

According to Waterman, organization change is not simply a matter of structure, although structure is significant variable in the management of change. Again it is also not a simple relationship between strategy and structure, although strategy is also a critical aspect. In their view effective organizational change may be understood to be a complex relationship between strategy, structure, system, style, skills & shared values. The first three elements-strategy, structure &system are considered the hardware of success. The next four style skills, staff, and shared values are called the software. The complex relationship is diagrammatically presented below;
