INTRODUCTION TO SMALL SCALE INDUSTRY

In most of the developing countries like India, Small Scale Industries (SSI) constitute an important and crucial segment of the industrial sector. They play an important role in employment creation, resource utilisation and income generation and helping to promote changes in a gradual and phased manner. They have been given an important place in the framework of Indian planning since beginning both for economic and ideological reasons. The reasons are obvious. The scarcity of capital in India severely limits the number of non-farm jobs that can be created because investment costs per job are high in large and medium industries. An effective development policy has to attempt to increase the use of labour, relative to capital to the extent that it is economically efficient. Small scale enterprises are generally more labour intensive than larger organisations. As a matter of fact, small scale sector has now emerged as a dynamic and vibrant sector for the Indian economy in recent years. It has attracted so much attention not only from industrial planners and economists but also from sociologists, administrators and politicians. Defining small-scale industry is a difficult task because the definition of small-scale industry varies from country to country and from one time to the another in the same country depending upon the pattern and stage of development, government policy and administrative set up of the particular country. Every country has set its own parameters in defining small-scale sector. Generally, smallscale sector is defined in terms of investment ceilings on the original value of the installed plant and machinery. But in the earlier times the definition was based on employment. In the Indian context, the parameter are as follows. The Fiscal Commission, Government of India, New Delhi, 1950, for the first time defined a small-scale industry as, one which is operated mainly with hired labour usually 10 to 50 hands. Fixed capital investment in a unit has also been adopted as the other criteria to make a distinction between small-scale and large-scale industries. This limit is being continuously raised up wards by government.

The Small Scale Industries Board in 1955 defined, "Small-scale industry as a unit employing less than 50 employees if using power and less than 100 employees if not using power and with a capital asset not exceeding Rs. 5 lakhs". 'The initial capital investment of Rs. 5 lakhs has been changed to Rs. 10 lakhs for sma industries and Rs. 15 lakhs for ancillaries in 1975. Again this fixed capital investment limit was raised to Rs. 15 lakhs for small units and Rs. 20 lakhs for ancillary units in 1980. The Government of India in 1985, has further increased the investment limit to Rs. 35 lakhs for small-scale units and 45 lakhs for ancillary units. Again the new Industrial Policy in 1991, raised the investment ceilings in plant an machinery to Rs. 60 lakhs for small-scale units and Rs. 75 lakhs for ancillary units. As per the Abid Hussain Committee's recommendations on small-scale industry, the Government of India has, in March 1997 further raised investment ceilings to Rs. 3 crores for small-scale and ancillary industries and to Rs. 50 lakhs for tiny industry. The new Policy Initiatives in 1999-2000 defined small-scale industry as a unit engage in manufacturing, repairing, processing and preservation of goods having investment in plant and machinery at an original cost not exceeding Rs. 100 lakhs. In case of tiny units, the cost limitation is up to Rs. 5 lakhs. Again, the Government of India in its budget for 2007-08 has raised the investment limit in plant and machinery of smallscale industries to 1.5 corers An ancillary unit is one which is engaged or proposed to be engaged in the manufacture c production of parts, components, sub-assemblies, tooling or intermediaries or rendering services and the undertaking supplies or renders or proposes to supply or render not less than 50% of its production or services, as the case may be, to one or more other Industries undertakings and whose investment in fixed assets in plant and machinery whether held on ownership terms or lease or on hire-purchase does not exceed Rs. 75 lakhs. For small-scale industries, the Planning Commission of India uses terms 'village an smallscale industries'. These include modern small-scale industry and the traditional cottage and household industry.

INTRODUCTION INDUSTRY

TO

MOBILE

SOFTWARE

DEVELOPMENT

Mobile application development is the process by which application software is developed for low-power handheld devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise digital assistants or mobile phones. These applications can be pre-installed on phones during manufacturing, downloaded by customers from various mobile software distribution platforms, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g. JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a Web browser. Application software developers also have to consider a lengthy array of screen sizes, hardware specifications and configurations because of intense competition in mobile software and changes within each of the platforms.

Smartphones and tablets are two types of mobile devices that have become compulsory in enterprises both large & small. With rise in the use of these mobile devices, the manufacturing of mobile apps that have to be preinstalled or downloaded in order to complete both professional & personal work has also increased. Also, most enterprises today have introduced the BYOD (bring your own device) strategy, thus providing the mobile app development industry more opportunity to make use of creative technology while designing applications. A research concluded towards the beginning of 2012 reveals that there has been a rise of at least 63 percent in the number of business units deploying mobile applications over the past one year. According to the research results, 50 percent among these enterprises had to adopt mobile apps succumbing to demands made by the workforce. More than 200 percent is the growth rate of increase in deployment rate of mobile apps in enterprises worldwide. According to the study, the mobile app development industry has become the largest revenue earning unit of the IT sector. Most of the apps produced every year are used for professional purposes; but there apps released for personal use are also rising. The phenomenal growth that has been recorded in the mobile app development industry has benefitted not only app development companies. Here we take a look at the areas of enterprises which have benefitted more than others from the growing popularity of mobile app development industries:

1. Sales and Marketing It is because of the presence of so many apps in the market that an enterprise can effectively promote its products & services amidst a large user base. This leads to greater sales of a product within the same area over a shorter span of time. Increased sales means increased demand and hence increase in the productivity level of an enterprise. 2. Operations Study reveals that deployment of mobile apps has directly affected enterprise operations by raising its efficiency levels. The time & cost involved in conducting operational activities within an enterprise also reduce by the deployment of mobile apps. 3. Security While several analysts are of the view that mobile app development has led to jeopardizing the state of security in enterprises, it is in reality the contrary. For example, deployment of mobile apps means a clear division of duties as each employee now has access to only one mobile device. It also means that data stored in one device can be accessed by only the employee using that device. Since there is no sharing of data, security of information is established. 4. Business Most importantly, the increase in the number of mobile applications has led to improved business mobility for enterprises. Deployment of mobile application services also assists an enterprise to develop business strategies that will contribute towards workforce satisfaction & productivity levels.

It is therefore clear that the growth in the mobile app development industry has benefitted several departments of an enterprise; alternatively, the increased use of apps in enterprises inspires the application development industry to introduce more innovative technology in the apps manufactured. The current growth rate projects a revenue generation of over $40 billion for the mobile app development industry towards the end of 2016. The importance of the mobile app development industry for business mobility in todays enterprises stands

HISTORY OF SOFTWARE INDUSTRY

The word "software" had been coined as a prank by at least 1953, but did not appear in print until the 1960s. Before this time, computers were programmed either by customers, or the few commercial computer vendors of the time, such as UNIVAC and IBM. The first company founded to provide software products and services was Computer Usage Company in 1955. The software industry expanded in the early 1960s, almost immediately after computers were first sold in mass-produced quantities. Universities, government, and business customers created a demand for software. Many of these programs were written in-house by full-time staff programmers. Some were distributed freely between users of a particular machine for no charge. Others were done on a commercial basis, and other firms such as Computer Sciences Corporation (founded in 1959) started to grow. The computer/hardware makers started bundling operating systems, systems software and programming environments with their machines. When Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) brought a relatively low-priced microcomputer to market, it brought computing within reach of many more companies and universities worldwide, and it spawned great innovation in terms of new, powerful programming languages and methodologies. New software was built for microcomputers, so other manufacturers including IBM, followed DEC's example quickly, resulting in the IBM AS/400 amongst others. The industry expanded greatly with the rise of the personal computer ("PC") in the mid1970s, which brought computing to the desktop of the office worker. In subsequent years, it also created a growing market for games, applications, and utilities. DOS, Microsoft's first operating system product, was the dominant operating system at the time. In the early years of the 21st century, another successful business model has arisen for hosted software, called software-as-a-service, or SaaS; this was at least the third time[citation needed] this model had been attempted. From the point of view of producers of some proprietary software, SaaS reduces the concerns about unauthorized copying, since it can only be accessed through the Web, and by definition no client software is loaded onto the end user's PC.

INDUSTRY STATUS
The mobile application market is rapidly growing and gaining popularity as an emerging job opportunities market. India is the third fastest growing app market in the world. As per Gartner report, Indias active mobile connections will exceed 900 million by 2016, which translates to 72% penetration. According to Trai in January 2012 the number of active mobile connections in India has reached 659.99 million and the total mobile subscriber base stands at 903.72 million. It is estimated that every Indian user spends nearly 52 minutes per-day using mobile apps. Similarly, mobile app economy-estimated at nearly $4 billion (Rs 20,000 crore) in 2009 and expected to grow to $18 billion in half a decade-continues to expand exponentially. There is an increase in the demand of mobile applications as more and more people are using smart phones. It has been projected that mobile value-added services market (which includes mobile apps) will reach Rs 214.1 crore by the end of 2012 from Rs 158.6 crore in 2011. Revenue generated by mobile VAS was INR 122 billion, as on March 2011. It is estimated to reach Rs 482 billion by 2015.

GROWTH AREAS
The future is mobile and all the services and offerings are going to run through application. India has more mobile connections than PCs or TVs and landline phones. Mobile app development is evolving to integrate with television, in-car navigation and entertainment, shopping, commerce and banking. It is safe to say that the future of apps is This talks about future growth prospects in the industry. Mobile operators have seen a significant growth in revenues through VAS, which has significantly increased demand for mobile application developers. This booming industry is struggling to get quality developers who have ideas and creativity. Go to any job site and you will observe the number of jobs that come under the M-VAS industry. Here the demand and supply ratio is inadequate and industry is looking for talented professionals. Planning a career in this industry will surely be a good move.

OVERVIEW OF APP MARKETS AND DEVICES

Since the release of the original iPhone in 2007 and the subsequent opening of the Apple App Store, content producers have had an ever-growing number of options for delivering their content to consumers. Each of the major platforms has strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of which device and market to focus on can have a significant impact for companies wishing to deliver their content digitally.

Apple iOS and App Store

The Apple App Store for iOS, serving the iPad, iPhone, and iPod line of devices, has the largest market share of any provider, with an estimated $85+ of every $100 spent on apps going to the Apple App Store. Apples mobile devices are also market giants, with 43% of smartphone owners using an iPhone. Even more striking is the percentage of smartphonedriven online traffic deriving from iPhone users nearly 60%, which indicates that Apple devices not only have a significant user base, but that this base is also especially active in accessing online content. Apples iPad dominates the tablet market as well. About 80% of tablets sold in 2011 were iPad2s, and 97.2% of tablet-driven Internet traffic came from iPad users. Apples App Store made its debut in July 2008, creating the world of third-party app publishing for mobile devices. From just 500 third-party applications at its launch, the number of apps has grown to more than 500,000, with tens of billions of apps downloaded overall. Half of all app downloads are games by far the most popular segment with entertainment apps a close second. To be published in the App Store, apps must be approved by Apple and are tested for reliability and content. Once approved, the developer sets the price of the app and takes a 70% share of sales, with the remaining 30% going to Apple. In February 2011, Apple introduced subscription-based app services. Though publishers have been slow to adopt this approach, as new subscriptions purchased through the App Store are subject to the 70-30 split, it also gives the option of selling through the developers own Web site, allowing the developer to keep 100% of the sale price.

Android Devices and Googles Android App Market

After many years as the worlds leading search provider, Google entered the smartphone market with its first Android OS-based device in October 2008. Unlike Apples iPhone, where the hardware and operating system are exclusively an Apple product, Android handsets are manufactured for use with the Android OS by HTC, Samsung, Motorola, and others. The first Android tablet, the Motorola Xoom, was released in February 2011.Googles Android OS has gained some traction in the smartphone market, but Android-based tablets have lagged far behind the immensely popular iPad. This may be partly due to cost, with Android-based tablets such as the Xoom priced at $549, not much less than an iPad. With Amazons release of the $199 Android OS-based Kindle Fire in fall 2011, however, the first true challenger to the iPads ubiquity has appeared. Early estimates indicate that 3.9 million Kindle Fires shipped in 2011, leaping to second place in the tablet market in less than two months 3 Though Android-based smartphone users are slated to outnumber iPhone users soon, they are less active in app downloads, and Androids market share of app revenues remains small. This can be attributed in part to the higher proportion of free apps on the Android Market 67% of all Android apps are free, compared to only 37% distributed through Apples App Store 4 The Android Market follows a similar structure for developers as Apples App Store, with the developer taking 70% of the price of the app, and various intermediaries, such as mobile phone carriers, the remaining 30%.

Executive Summary
The world is going mobile and entrepreneurs are fast-becoming major users of mobile applications (apps) to run their enterprises. Apps on mobile devices are helping small business owners save time; reduce costs; increase revenue and productivity; work more effectively; and better serve customers. We are developing an app that will help the college going students to find their way. Many colleges have large campuses and it becomes difficult for students to find their way across the campus. This app will track the current position of the student inside the campus and help them find their destination. We are further planning to expand our business in hotel and retail industry by launching different maps for leading hotels like leela, oberoi, taj etc and famous shopping complexes as well. Thus this app will be useful for not only students but other users as well. We are located in Bangalore (INDIA), the silicon valley of the country famous for its growth in IT sector. Therefore we expect our firm to evolve as a leader in this sector because of the favourable conditions towards our business.

Present and future scenario of India Software

It is the IT Services which are going to rule the present and future scenario of India Software Company. It is the software subject which is now over the minds of all the entrepreneurs. They go through different segment of forums and magazines, only to study the scenario of the Outsourcing Market and how India Software Outsourcing will be beneficial for the country and the people in the Industry. There is once again high-level purchase of all software and hardware products and the purchaser are intelligent, and mad about the technology and so very selective in their product. So it is not the money that is spent, but the entrepreneur wants to know how much should he invest on such a software product. Yes, it is indeed true, that in the Software world of today, people have loosen their pursestrings, but yet are critical as to where and how do they invest their money and how much will they be gaining out of it. The smart Outsourcing vendors want to be one-step ahead in the IT Competition. They want monopoly to maintain; monopoly specially pertaining to novel idea. By shorter cycle of sale in India Software Companies, the customers are forced to keep a very good and long-lasting relation with the service providers. Good financing packages, attracts the consumers and thus the relationship built between the client and customer is well intact. All the credit goes to Software Outsourcing for investing pains and strategies in rebuilding the service products by talented and skilled human resources.

15

COMPETITION
College GPS application is a new concept as no such application with a detailed maps of a specific area are available in any software market so there is no competition for now. But we expect an upcoming competition from Google maps and other GPS service providers

CHALLENGES Server breakdown- Regular maintenance of server is required for GPS application to
work smoothly without any glitches.

Certain colleges install signal jammers to block any type of mobile internet signal
usage within the premises.

Popularity is the biggest challenge with mobile applications. Making the app popular
among students will be tough task.

WORST CASE SCENARIO AND CONTINGENCIES

The app might not gain the anticipated popularity among students as they may not find the app worth downloading. There can be glitches in the satellite signal reception due to heavy traffic in public channels (as we are operating on a public channel to reduce cost). Management of the colleges may not allow us to design schematics of their buildings due to security issues

16

USP
COMPANY NAME is the only company to design a mobile app which provides maps for some of the most famous colleges of India. Many of the students studying in colleges having huge campuses have problem of finding the directions to a particular area. Our app helps them to resolve this problem and they can easily find directions to places they want to visit in the campus.

17

STP ANALYSIS
SEGMENTATION Market segmentation is undertaken in order to focus on the subsets of the prospects that are most likely to purchase our offering. This will in turn help us take the best returns from our marketing and entertainment expenditures. Based on the need our service satisfies, the market is segmented into diverse sections.

ORGANISATION CULTURE Organisation culture is an invaluable leadership technique that assists in developing a positive, customer-oriented culture and a genuine level of employee commitment that pervades the entire work environment. TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT We believe in TQM which provides employees with opportunities for participation, problem solving, and teamwork, it creates a tremendous level of motivation within each employee. In fact, employees TQM techniques result in employees' contributing to attain the companies objectives without a pushing or shoving style of leadership are more than motivated--they are empowered. EMPOWERMENT Empowering the employees is one of the main principles of our company. Empowerment is a force that energizes employees to perform. Empowered employees take a personal interest empowered employees improve the overall performance of the agency, which results in higher levels of morale. Developing empowered employees is a key element in the formulation of a positive departmental culture and responsibility in setting and achieving the department's goals. * Ensuring leaders actively listen to their employees and respond with empathy which will help in making sure ensure not only that leaders fully understand their employees' concerns but also the, at employees feel understood. * Leaders will seek input from employees by either approaching individuals directly or by forming employee groups, such as advisory councils. * combining the core principles of several leadership techniques and modifying them to suit our work environment. * developing a healthy culture--which includes values, beliefs, and behaviours--effective leaders build a solid foundation that enables them to foster truly committed employees with high morale, and in turn, genuinely satisfied citizens

28

EMPLOYEE RETENTION STRATEGIES

The increase in demand for forensic services creates an increase in job flexibility and a choice of job possibilities so keeping this in mind we have decided upon the following retention strategies. Traditional employee satisfaction surveys will be expanded to include an assessment of the interaction between managers and employees. *Monthly allowances of Rs. 1000 to staff in maintainence. Employees will be encouraged to assume responsibilities that are traditionally performed by supervisors, such as scheduling work and distributing overtime. Career ladders and promotional opportunities will be developed for employees, including increased responsibility and challenges. Empowering the employees by giving them the authority to get things done and give ideas to the management. Making employees realize that they are the most valuable asset of the organization. Having faith in them and trusting them , providing them with the information of all our work and being transparent with them. Recognising them and appreciating their efforts which will boost their morale. To help people improve in their skill set we can allow for managers to take on apprentices to learn the ropes of higher management.

CRISIS MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Crisis management is the process by which an organization deals with a major unpredictable event that threatens to harm the organization, its stakeholders, or the general public. Three elements are common to most definitions of crisis: (a) a threat to the organization, (b) the element of surprise, and (c) a short decision time. Crisis management consists of: Methods used to respond to both the reality and perception of crises. Establishing metrics to define what scenarios constitute a crisis and should consequently trigger the necessary response mechanisms. Communication that occurs within the response phase of emergency management scenarios. Crisis management methods of a business or an organization are called Crisis Management Plan. Crisis management is occasionally referred to as incident management, although several industry specialists such as Peter Power argue that the term crisis management is more accurate. The credibility and reputation of organizations is heavily influenced by the perception of their responses during crisis situations. The organization and communication involved in responding to a crisis in a timely fashion makes for a challenge in businesses. There must be open and consistent communication throughout the hierarchy to contribute to a successful crisis communication process. The related terms emergency management and business continuity management focus respectively on the prompt but short lived "first aid" type of response and the longer term recovery and restoration phases. Crises faced by our line of work are loss of employees.
