COMPETITION OF PEPSI VS COKE

COMPETITON (Real war between Pepsi & coke) Every food companies have their competition. Pepsis main competitor is Coca-Cola co. Both have been selling thirst quenchers for 100 years that are now global brands. Their bottles move through the worlds most pervasive distribution network. Coke is mainly a franchise driven operation with a company supplying its soft drink concentrate to its soft bottles around the world Coke management releases that a soft drink is a convenience as well as an impulse product. According the companys expertise lies in consumers marketing. Idea is to reduce the effect span as Also coke will be experimenting with mobile dispensing units at beaches and stadiums going out towards consumers the much as possible. Cokes infrastructure plan include setting up new subsidiaries. It is also considering a 35 Greenfield venture to set-up a model plant in westerns corridor most likely in Gujarat. This will have 4 product lines with a capacity of 600 bottles per minutes with a build in flexibility to about top different and flavors and sizes. Another option for building capacity is to bringing in bottlers from overseas to invent jointly in fresh capacity. The company wants to go a stem further and set-up COCA-COLA institute a training facility for bottlers. Coke continues to stay with its multi brand strategy. This enhances the ability to leverage self-space at the retail outlet. It also gives then flexibility to offer price on brand others then lead once. Coke has launched MAJA pineapple and MAJA orange. As far as new product launched is concerned coke plans a dual brand approach by bringing in FANTA lemon. This comes about because volumes of LIMCA have increased by 20% shares, which have an 80% share of the cloudy lemon segmentSo this dual brand approach will extend to that flavors too. Pepsis decision to take in company owned bottling operation (COBO) alongside franchise has proved to be winning edge over its competitor. By 1994

Pepsis has bought over five bottles in the key markets. This ensuring maximum control. The franchise now sees the company not just as advisor but also as carrying the weight of experience. Company system and franchisee system can now be properly aligned to meet the required objectives. On expanding reach and availability 80% of all cold drinks are consumed at the point of purchase (POP) rather than at home. The fountain initiative has paid off in higher of countrywide and they offer consumers a whole new way experience soft drinks. Also expanding teach and availability. Coke tied up with Indian oil to set up dispensing units at petrol pumps. Pepsi followed suit by striking a deal with Bharat Petroleum. Pepsi has mainly focused a brand Pepsi. Their strategy has been to keep pace with the market growth rate in non-Colas but to emerge as the definite cola they have put there might behind the brand Pepsi as the flagship brand. In 1987, Pepsi ranked 29 in the fortune list of the 500 largest industrial corporation in the U.S. Coca Cola was way down at 54, while Pepsi Co. improved its position from 34 in 1986 Coca Cola tumbled to 38 after missive public out cry, the company had to reintroduce the original coke classic. Pepsi has so far made in roads in 151countries (150 before India) including the much-publicized ventures in the soviet Union and China. Patience in Pepsi Co.s long suit. At the base of every beverage business lies the all important secret formula of success the Concentrate. In India the concentrate is prepared by Pepsi food limited representatives of Pepsi-Cola international. They came, spent, and conquered. The size of their combined business adds up to more than Rs. 5500 Crore. The equity investment put in it tots up to a humungous $ 1347 million (Rs. 5700 crore). Yet almost 10 year after Pepsi Coca-cola Company entered India, birth are yet to turn a profit. Their accumulated losses are estimated to over Rs. 800 Crore. In a bid to comer a larger market share, invariably, either Pepsi or Coke ends up raising the stakes to a point where the math simply doesnt add up. Just that the two cola giants have been in an unseemly hurry to grow the Indian market and, at the same time deny each other any advantages, irrespective of whether it makes economics sense. In the mid 90s breakeven was pegged at 40 million cases. Today, both players together do 150 million cases, but break-even is still elusive. The battle spilled into almost every area of operations in early 1999, that discounts were also unleashed. If the industry norm was around three to four bottles free with every case, the Cola majors began to offer six to seven bottles. In 2000 particularly in the month coke went berserk, giving 500/0 discounts. Both cola warriors targeted a clutch of key accounts about 67% of the total retail base, primarily restaurants, movie halls and hotels. In many cases the owner would play one against the other and drive a hard bargain. In may cases the cola companies. Paid close to Rs. 100 per case of expected off take as advance to secure a monopoly over the key account. The gross margins o~ a case of returnable glass bottles was just Rs. 40. In India, a single-serve P & T bottles was simply not cost effective. Aluminum cans too suffered from the same problem effective. Aluminum cans too suffered from the same problem. Now every year, both companies had to invest in fresh glass capacity and crates. Back-of-the envelop calculations suggested that to

put an additional million bottles in the market required close to Rs. 40 crore investment in glass and carats, and glass bottles had to be replaced every four year after they had done 40 cycles, during which time depreciation had been charged. Till the cola companies began to concentrate on the urban centers. As soon as they pushed into the winter land, the first sings of problems surfaced. In a state like Tamil Nadu the off take per 1000 people was barely 0.9 as a result, when a Pepsi or a coke truck went into interior markets, the glass simply wouldnt come black fast, either consumption was low or the volumes were being split between the volumes were being spilt between the two competitors as a market. But that would have been completely out or character for the company. it is a bit like asking the Brazilian Soccer team to adopt German-Style total football. Across global market Pepsi has always reveled in grabbing share away from coke. But in India it finds itself in a peculiar position. It is the Numero Uno brand, outselling both coke and Thums up put together. Thats helped Pepsis Indian team to build quite a reputation. Pepsi has managed to constantly find ways to connect with the youth. So it Coke is the universal drink, which cuts across-age groups, Pepsi is the icon of the real cola quaffers Young-people between the ages of15-29.

ENTRY OF PEPSICO IN INDIA In 1977, a change in the government at the center led to the exit of coca-cola which preferred to quit rather to dilute its equity to 40% in compliance with the Foreign Exchange Regulations Act (FERA). The beginning of 1980s saw the birth of another cola drink Thums Up the Gold Spot people launched it in 1978-79 as Refreshing Cola; in 1978 Parle led the Indian soft drinks market (share33%) with its Gold Spot and Limca brands. In 1987 pure drinks share came down to21% as a result of growing popularity of Limca and Thums Up. At the same time the threat to the Indian soft drinks market was that of fruit drinks. In 1988, fruit drinks market was valued at Rs. 40 crores and was growing at the rate 0/20%. In early 1985, the government rejected a proposal with the R.P Goenka Group. This involved the export of fruit juice concentrated from Punjab in return for the import of Cola-Concentrates. The deal offered was 3:1 export-import ratio in return for being allowed to market Pepsi in India. The Rs.22 crores Pepsi Co project/package was the second bed by the U.S. headquarters MNC to inter India. Pepsi Co would have an equity holding of 39%, Punjab Agro Industries Corporation (PAIC) 20% and Voltas 24%. The bad to be financed privately from loans. A. project approval board was finally set in February 1988. Pepsis shares which have been originally just under 40% was whittled to about 35% and PAICS share was hiked to 40% these were mainly the issue in which COKE had left India in 1977. Thus Pepsi not only accepted the conditions but also went

much further. Now the victory for Pepsi who after more than 5 years of acrimonious battle was launched in June 1990 selectively in Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and South as SAHAR-PEPSI. In 1991, saw a major launch of 7Up and Mirinda in India, which was warmly received by Indian customers & consumers. 1993 was new beginning for fountain Pepsi (PMX). Pepsi achieved the no.1position in India. In 1996 Mirinda attained no. 1 position in orange beverages category. May 1998 saw major launch of Mirinda lemon in India around 70% of the total sales came from established markets of North America. Pepsi has major branch namely: Pepsi: Diet-Pepsi; Mountain Dew 7-UP: Slice and Miranda (orange.& lemon) Mr. Ramesh Vengal was the first Managing Director who was here till April 1992. Mr. Suman Sinha the current President took over from him after a long inning with Hindustan. Lever Ltd. (HLL) During these years the beverages business has grown rapidly from 3 million cases to 60 million cases and is paced for annually through 7,50,000 retail outlet across the country. It generates annual sales of approximately Rs.2, 500 Crores (which includes exports of Rs. 300crore) and a presence in the nascent juice market with Tropicana (sales, Rs. 50 crore). PEPSICO INDIA Pepsi is one of the most well known brands in the world today available in over 160 countries. The company has an extremely positive outlook for India. Outside North America two of our largest and fastest growing businesses are in India and China, which include more than of the worlds population. (PepsiCos annual report, 1999) This reflects that India holds a central position in pepsis corporate strategy. India is a key market for PepsiCo and at the same time the company has added value to Indian agriculture and industry. PepsiCo entered India in 1989 and is concentrating in three focus areas- Soft drink concentrate snack foods and vegetable and food processing. Faced with the existing policy framework at the time, the company entered the India market through a joint venture with Voltas and Punjab Agro Industries. With the introduction of the labialisation policies since 1991, Pepsi took complete control f its operations. The government has approved more than Us$ 400 million worth of investments of which over US$ 330 million have already flown in. One of PepsiCos key strategies was to develop a completely local management team. Pepsi has 19 company owned factories while their Indian bottling partners own 21. The company has set up 8 Greenfield sites in backward regions of different states. PepsiCo intends to expand its operations and is planning an investment of approximately US$ 150 million in the next two-three years. Introduction

RESEARCH DESIGN The research process designed was conclusive and statistical in nature. Which would enable the company to take rational decision? This is because the sample size taken was large and the techniques adopted were for mass data. The date obtained from each locality was tabulated and the results were obtained in from of percentages. Data collection sources I Primary sources Observation non observation and direct Survey- which include various categories of retailers. Personal interview II- Observation The observation was done by the following meted Keeping the markets in view Keeping the customers and consumers in view Interacting with various group of retailers and consumers III- Survey Various retailers and consumer with the help of questionnaire IV- Personal interviews This method of date collection involves the interviewers asking question in a face to face con tact situation there in direct personal investigation and the interview inn properly structured as it involves the use of set of predetermined questions which are asked in the form and order pre-decided. This technique is preferred as it is economical; more informative, non responses are low, spontaneous reaction which are realistic. Lots of supplementary information comes up. V- Secondary Data Secondary data consists of information that already exists some where and may have collected for a different purpose, it provide a starting point. To select the localities a map of Aligarh was used. The list of retailers was obtained from company officials, designed by company. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Under Research Methodology there are three types of methods for marketing research. They are as follows: a) The observation method b) The experimental method c) The survey method inclusive of panel method. In observation method data are collected on the direct observation. No talks take place. By observing the person the analysis makes the inventory as to product used

by him at his home or kept as retailers stocks. In experimental method it is based on the concept that small-scale experiment is useful to indicate the expectations of large-scale experiment. The survey method information is gathered directly from individuals I three ways: 1. Telephone 2. E-Mail 3. Personal Interview The survey method is also mentioned as the Questionnaire Technique they are also segregated by: 1) In factual survey 2) Opinion survey 3) Interpretative survey For my project point of view, the method mainly used are: 1) Survey by route ride 2) Personal interview by questionnaire technique. 1. The survey method by route ride I usually went with Pepsi van also with salesman. I met the retailers from outlets to outlets. This survey method helps me a lot to understand about the distribution system and to understand the problem of retailers and other people. 2. In addition to the personal interview by questionnaire technique. In this survey method I saw that the respondent was shown the exhibit and advertisement to give his personal opinion and attitude. In this method the direct interaction of occurred with the retailers and I could collect the reliable information from them it has also cost disadvantage thats why some were difficult to covered.

OBJECTIVE

Objective To measure the satisfaction and dissatisfaction level of Pepsis customers. SWOT Analysis.

 To find the reason behind dissatisfaction if any. Remedies to clear the dissatisfaction.

Market Evaluation System It literally means that we evaluate the Market by various means from time to time. Our evaluation system was based on the four factors: 1. Topography 2. Costumer survey through EDS(Every Dealer Survey) 3. Survey by issuing questionnaire to the customer. 4. Company Issues 5. Limitations 6. Suggestions

Costumer Survey Who are the customers? Here the costumer is categorized on those who finally sells the companies product to the consumers. Companies customer are categorized in various sub channels . The are:

1) Hyper market 2) Super market 3) Convenience and gas 4) Category A self service grocer 5) Cinema single screen 6) Cinema multiplex 7) Food service QSR 8) Food service food court 9) Food service food dine/pubs/bars 10) Institution education 11) Institution office 12) Institute others 13) Transport railways 14) Transport bus stand 15) Transport airport & airline 16) Leisure amusement park 17) Leisure clubs 18) Eatery 19) Convenience 20) Grocery A category 21) Grocery rest Literally we can say above are the places where companies distribution channel are putting there efforts to place their product.

Every Dealer Survey(EDS) The Every Dealer Survey commonly known as EDS is made every year by the company. This survey is done every year by the company so that complete awareness about the retailers and there attachment with he company is observed. The data of EDS helps in knowing the companys position among the competitors as well as the competitors position. The assessment is done in following ways: The format of EDS is given as under: Outlet Name: - Is the name of the outlet. Contact person: - To whom the surveyor contacts. Address: - Address of outlet. Contact no:- Is the contact number of the outlet. Channel : - Is the category of the outlet.

SIGNAGE One of the important topic covered under the EDS is signage. Here Signage refers to visibility of brand names and different flavours in the outlet. There are various ways through which the brand names and different flavours are made visible to the consumers. They are: Dealer boards Glow sign boards Shop painting Counter rack Floor rack One of the important philosophy company follows is: JO DIKHTA WO BIKTA HAI means the thing which is visible in any outlet, consumer demands for it. And this philosophy of company is very much true. Through the EDS the signage of the competitor is also concluded. From the survey it was observed that the routes or outlets where there is good signage the sale of product is also up to mark. Similarly it was also noticed that company needs to put some more effort regarding signage in the week routes. Chilling equipments Under this category the chilling equipment of PEPSI and its competetor is estimated .There are series of chilling equipment of Pepsi and its competitor. They are namely PBI code Chilling machine provided by the company free of cost to the retailers having goodwill in the soft drink market. CCI code Provided by the competitor just as PBI Code. Outlet own Chilling machine owned by the outlet. PBI OYC & CCI OYC The equipments provided by Pepsi and its competitor respectively on the payment and the mode of payment is draft. Other initiative The other initiative are those initiative which supports the signage and makes a perception on the mind of a consumer. These initiatives are (display, combo, HAD etc). The common initiatives are 1. PHHP 2. FNF.

A Brief Summary Of Direct Interviews A survey was conducted in which 10 best samples were collected from all the routes which also include distributors and dealers. Following are the questions and there evaluation according to the sample answer: 1) Which brand u purchase the most? When it was asked about the brand preference from the customer the answer varied from one route to another. In routes like route no-5,route no- 6,route no-7 etc. which

are considered the best route of Aligarh the figures are impressive. About 57% of costumer prefer Pepsi and the remaining 33% goes in the hand of the competitors.

Where as when it was asked in the routes which company considers it as its week routes there was marginal difference in the in the figures generated in comparison to strong routes. The brand preference of customer in the week route is : PEPSI 39% COKE 61% 2)Is there Regular Supply of PEPSI:A) Yes b) No When asked about the regular supply of PEPSI the response was very good the sales man visited almost every day. The distribution system of Pepsi should be given credit for the above reason. There are different kind vehicle which the company uses depending upon the route. And sales man as a driver drives to their respective routes.

3)Does PEPSI salesman behave properly (stretch on interpersonal relationship)

Since the satisfaction level of customer is measured, so the behavior of sale personnel is one of the important things to be measured in this context. So talking about interpersonal relationship with the costumer it is quite satisfactory but some reasons are there which do not supports the satisfaction of the customer that is the routes for a sales man is never permanent so the sales man faces difficulty in establishing good relation with the customers.

4)Does salesmen provide you with right scheme given by the Company When the above question was asked the reply of the costumer was satisfactory. About 60% said YES About 15% said NO And about 25% said CANT SAY This is one of the important finding surveyed in different routes. And some serious decision is to be taken for the cause of no and cant say. One of the suggestions which is to be given for the cause is the scheme should be known to the customer and the sales man should carry some proof regarding the schemes announced by the company.

Scheme provided by the sales man:-

5) If in problem, Pepsi personnel rectifies a. Within day b. Within a week c. Within a month d. Never When asked about problem rectification 65% says (b) 20% says ( c ) 10% says that there problem is never rectified, and again this is a serious problem which is to be considered.

8)Are u satisfied with the display and the seasonal scheame..

This question resulted in one of the important finding. About 75 % were not satisfied with the display and the seasonal scheme. The main reason behind this is delay in the gifts given to the customers. Rest 25% said yes.

9) Which promotional scheme you do you prefer: a) related to outlet About 55% had given stretch on good signage About 30% preferred daily scheme. About 7% prefere discount. 8% had other reasons.

This was one of the toughest question for the customers .They faced hesitation on

ranking the two soft drink rivals but ultimately since the answer was to be given by the customers so they answered: they ranked : RANK 1 to PEPSI RANK 2 to COKE

They are: Dealer boards Glow sign boards Shop painting Counter rack Floor rack One of the important philosophy company follows is: JO DIKHTA WO BIKTA HAI means the thing which is visible in any outlet, consumer demands for it. And this philosophy of company is very much true. Through the EDS the signage of the competitor is also concluded. From the survey it was observed that the routes or outlets where there is good signage the sale of product is also up to mark. Similarly it was also noticed that company needs to put some more effort regarding signage in the week routes. Program enrollment of Pepsi?

Which is the most preferred brand/pack/flavours in home delivery at your shop? This is to know the most preferred brand/pack/flavour in home delivery. Any suggestions:Some common suggestions are: 1) Scheme should be clear to costumers. 2) There should be uniformity in the schemes. 3) The outlet should be provided with proper signage index. 4) There should be regular visit of company officials for the problem hearings and the remedies to the problem.

Summary and conclusion: Observation :1) Route vehicles are regular in almost all routes but they reaches to their destination late. It is observed that the competitor vehicle reaches quite early and fills the empty glasses , this may be one of the reason of decrease in the sale. 2) Even key outlets are very unsatisfied with the signage efforts put on by company even all Pepsi exclusives are not having signage. 3) Complains handling was not proper, there were some old cases or complaints. 4) Big retailer / fat agent are involved in undercutting which should be stopped immediately. 5) Most of the cooling equipment are not working properly. 6) Due to the shortage of Pepsi product in the market in this season Pepsi could not reach to that mark where it can reach.

SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTH: 1) Good market penetration. 2) Motivated channel partner. 3) Well defined routes. WEAKNESS: 1) All brands were not available in at least 80% shops. 2) Complaint handling was not up to mark. 3) Supply in certain area is very irregular and also route agents are not covering full routes. 4) Poor signage and display is making the routes week for the sale of Pepsi. 5) Interpersonal relationship with the company officials and the route agent is not satisfactory. OPPORTUNITY: 1) It is observed that in some newly establishing areas many new outlets are opening , Pepsi needs to concentrate on these new outlets and can gradually increase its sale in these area. 2) Large number of mix outlets can be changed to Pepsi exclusive and coke exclusive to mix only by luring them good and efficient supply, glow sign and cooling equipments. THREATS: 1) Coke is the only nearest competitor and it is catching up in the market penetration through price skimming and other promotional scheme. 2) Some local brands commonly known as kancha , Tip Top , Shine and the launch of Catch soft drink a product of DS group are causing decrease in sale in some areas.

RECOMMENDATION: 1) Signage :- Majority of outlets are not satisfied with signage and they are also very unsatisfied with the shortage problem. This problem results in the multiple problems leading to the marginal level of dissatisfaction. There for it is very necessary to provide with effective signage to the outlets. 2) Uniformity in the routes of sales agent :- It was observed that none of the salesmen is permanent to any route but to build up a good interpersonal relation proper interaction with the outlets should be there so that company can position its product to the respective routes and outlets. 3) Communication and motivational class :- There is need of proper communication and motivational class for the sales agent and the employs so that the can give their best effort and contribute to the target announced by the company. 4) Display and Seasonal scheme :- If display or seasonal scheme is allotted to any outlet it is necessary to provide the outlets with the gifts items to encourage them , so that they can follow the display or seasonal scheme in next season.

SWOT ANALYSIS SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTH: Consumers across the globe choose our brands for refreshment more than a billion times every day because Coca-Cola is... The Symbol of Quality Customer and Consumer Satisfaction A Responsible Citizen of the World Coca Cola has been constantly innovating in terms of products to offer such incisive products to every user segments which cater more than 1 billion people per day. Coca Cola has a very innovative Research and Development divisions to develop new tastes and flavours. Over 55000 employees are working for one organization across the globe. So, these standards are the strengths of Coca Cola Company.

WEAKNESS: It is very difficult to any company to maintain its operation in more than 200 countries successfully, So Coca Cola is also phasing some problems which shows its weakness in some part of its operational countries which are as follows : Weak distribution network, particularly in some part of India. Company is also lagging behind in products like Lays and Lehar as compare to its main competitor PepsiCo. Company has offer very few products in India from its impressive product profile of more than 400 products across the globe. Coca Cola have incurred losses in some part of world. Some products are expensive as compared to its close competitors. The Coca-Cola Company, alone, could never reach and serve all of its consumers.

OPPORTUNITIES: A company which serves over 1 billion people per day in more than 200 countries with refreshing series of more than 400 products has always have great opportunities to grab. Some of these opportunities are : Countries like India, company have great opportunities to serve over 1 billion people. In India company have more than 60 percent market share only with 11 products, So here big opportunity to offer more than 400 brand products from its product basket.

THREATS: A company which serves in more than 200 countries is always prone to threats. Some of these threats are : Government Policy. Market Competitors mainly PepsiCo. Dependent over distributor for distribution. Wrong weather forecasting for production. Cultural Restrictions.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY OBJECTIVE MBA is a stepping stone in the management career. In order to achieve practical, positive and concrete results, the classroom learning needs to be effectively feted to the realities of the situation existing outside the classroom. Every study is incomplete without having a well planned and concrete exposure to the student, Management studies are not exceptional. Scope of the work at this level is very ranging. So, my MBA institute provide us opportunity to work in external environment by Summer Internship Program and the Management Thesis. So, I decided to prepare my thesis on Coca Cola India. This Management Thesis will provide sound basis to adopt the theoretical knowledge and on the other hand it will give me the opportunity for exposure to the real market situation, it will give me the base practical experience which will be helpful throughout my professional career. My topic of this management thesis is Comparative Study of Different Promotional

Schemes Adopted by Coca Cola India. The main objective of this thesis is to study the different promotional schemes adopted by Coca Cola India in the past and in present and compare the merits and demerits of these schemes. In this thesis I will also try to focus on the impact of these schemes both on the market and on the management of the Company. In my initial study about the company I found that all the schemes are designed around the 3 Ps which are PLANET, PEOPLE and PORTFOLIO.

LIMITATION

LIMITTIONS Following are the limitation for Coca Cola Company and trainees too are: The report is time barred . Volatility in the Sparkling soft drink market just because of seasonal effect. Bad perception in the mind of general public due to recent pesticides controversy. Competitor providing better schemes to increase its market share. Weak distribution network, particularly in some part of India. Company has offer very few products in India from its impressive product profile of more than 400 products across the globe. Some products are expensive as compared to its close competitors. The Company relies on numerous groups to work together to make our brands available to consumers throughout the world. Questionnaire data was not filled properly by the retailers & even some of them refused to fill the same.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY RESEARCH METHODOLOGY Factual material or Data unknown or untapped so far can be obtain from many sources direct or indirect. It is necessary to involve a systematic procedure to collect essential data. Relevant data, adequate in quantity & quality sufficient reliable and valid should be collected. For this purpose one may use various devices. For each and every type of research certain tools are used to gather new facts or to explore new field are needed. The selection for suitable for collecting various kinds of information is the main purpose. The researcher may use ore or move of the tools in combination. He should familiarize himself with the nature, merits & limitation of these tools. I am also attempt to learn how to constructed and use them effectively. There are various tool of data collection. Before making major, decision about tool of data collection.

1. Observation: The observation method is the most commonly used method especially in studies relating to behavioral sciences. In a way we all observe things around us but this sort of observation in not scientific observation. Observation becomes a scientific tool and the method of data collection for the researches, when it serves a formulated research purpose, in systematically planned and recorded. Under the observation method, the information in sought by way of investigator's own direct observation without asking from respondent. The main advantage of this method in that subjective bias eliminated, if observation in done accurately. Secondly the information obtained under this method relates to what event is happening it is not complicated by either the past behavior or intention or attitudes.Thirdly this method is independent of respondents willing to respond and as such is relatively less-demanding of active cooperation on the part of respondents as happen to be the case in the interview or the questionnaire method. However observation method has various limitations. Firstly it is an expensive method. Secondly, the informal ion provide by this method in very limited. Sometimes we talk of controlled and uncon-trolled observation if observation takes place in the natural setting, it may be termed as uncontrolled observation, but when observation takes places according to definite, pre-arranged plans, involving experimental procedure, the same is then termed controlled observation. 2. Interview Method:-

The interview method of collecting data involves presentation of oral-verbal stimuli and reply in term of oral-verbal responds. This method can be used through personal interviews and if possible through telephone interview. A. Personal interviews: Personal interview method requires a person known as the interviewer asking questions generally in a face to face contract to the other person(). This sort of interview may be in the form of direct personal investigation or it may be an indirect oral investigation. In the case of direct personal investigation the interviewer has to be collect. Information personally from the sources concerned. He has to be on the spot and has to meet people from whom data has to be collected. This method is particularly suitable for intensive investigation. The method of collecting information through personal interview is usually carried out in a structured wav. As such we all the Interviews as structured inter-views. Such interviews involve set of predetermines questions and of highly standardized techniques of recording. Thus the interviewer in a structured interview follows a rigid procedure had clown, asking questions in a form and order prescribed. As against it the unstructured interviews are characterized by a flexibility of approach to questioning. Unstructured interviews do not follow a system of predetermined question and standardized techniques of recording information. In a non structured interview, the interviewer is allowed much greater freedom to ask in case of need the supplementary questions or at times he may omit certain questions if the situation so requires. Unstructured interviews also demand deep knowledge and greater skill on the part of the interviewer. With a variation in interview-techniques, the major advantages and weakness of personal interview can be enumerated in general way. The chief merits of the interview method are as follows:(I) More information and that too in greater depth can be obtained. (ii) Interviewer by his own skill can overcome the resistance, if any if the respondents, interview method can be made to yield an almost perked sample of the general population. (iii) There is greater flexibility under this method as the opportunity to restructure questions is always there, especially in case of constructors interviews. (iv) Personal information can as well be obtained easily under this method. But there are also certain weaknesses of the interview method. 1. It is a very expensive method especially when large and widely spread geographical sample is taken. 2. There remains the possibility. Of the bias of interviewer as well as that of respondent, there also remains the head chief of supervision and control of interviews.

3. This method in relatively more-time-consuming, especially when the sample in large and recalls upon the respondents are necessary. . 4. Under the interview method the interviews required for selecting and supervising

the field-staff is more complex with problems. B.Telephone interviews:This method of collecting information consists in contacting respondents on telephone itself. It is not a very widely used method, but plays important part in industries surveys, particularly in devolved regions. It is more flexible in comparison to mailing method because in this method, direct contract between respond and interviewer. 3. Questionnaires:This method of data collection is quite popular, particularly in case of big enquiries. It is being adopted by private individuals, research workers, private and public organizations and even by Governments. In this method a questionnaire is sent (usually by post) to the persons con-cerned with a request to answer the questions and return the questionnaire. A questionnaire consists of a number of questions printed or typed in a definite order on a form or set of forms. A questionnaire is mailed to respondents who are expected to read and understand the questions and write down the reply in a space meant for the purpose in the questionnaire itself. The respondents have to answer the question on their own. The method of collecting data by mailing the questionnaires to respondents in most expensively employed in various economic and business surveys. Merit 1. There is low cost even when the universe is large and widely spread geographically. 2. It is free from the bias of the interviewer. Answers are in respondents own words. 3. Respondents who are not easily approachable can also be reached conveniently. 4. Large samples can made use of and there the results can be made more dependable and reliable. Demerits:1. Low rate of return of the duly filled in questionnaires biased due to the no response is often indeterminate. 2. It can be used only when respondents are educated and coopering. 3. The control over questionnaires may be lost once it is sent. 4. There is also the possibility of ambiguous replies or omission of replies altogether to certain question interpretation of omission is difficult. Main aspect of questionnaire Quite often questionnaire is considered as the heart of a survey operation. Hence it should be very carefully constructed. If it is not properly set up, then the survey is bound to fail. This fact requires us to study the main aspect of questionnaires. 1. General Form:So for as the general for of a questionnaire is concerned, it can either be structured or unstructured questionnaire. Structured questionnaires are those questionnaires in which there are definite concrete and Teditemine questions. When those characteristics are not resent in a questionnaire, it can be termed as unstruc-ared on non structured questionnaires. 2. Question Sequence:-

In order to make the questionnaire effective and to ensure quality to the replies received, a researcher should pay attention to the question sequence in pre-par-g the questionnaire. 3. Question formulation and wording:With required to this aspect of questionnaire, the researcher should note that each question must be very clear for any sort of misunderstanding can do harm to a survey. Question should also be impartial in order not to give are biased picture of true state of affairs. 4. Schedules:Data collection through schedules is very much like the collection of data through questionnaire. The little difference which lies in the fact that schedules (Performa containing a set of questions) are being filled in by the enumerators who are specially appointed for this purpose. These enumerators along with schedules go to respondents, put to them the questions from the Performa in the order the questions are listed and record the replies in the for the same in the Performa. Enumerators explain the aim and objects of the investigation and also remove the difficult which any respondent may feel. After going through the Company profile, the first step to start my thesis is the collection of data from different sources like consumers, distributors and the company management through the personal interviews and questionnaires. The second step will be the comparison of the collected data and to represent it through the following standards: ANOVA: Analysis of variance is a collection of statistical models, and their associated procedures, in which the observed variance is partitioned into components due to different explanatory variables. T- TEST: T-test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic has a Student's t distribution if the null hypothesis is true. It is applied when sample sizes are small enough that using an assumption of normality and the associated z-test leads to incorrect inference. BAR CHART: A bar chart, also known as a bar graph, is a chart with rectangular bars of lengths proportional to that value that they represent. Bar charts are used for comparing two or more values. The bars can be horizontally or vertically oriented. Sometimes a stretched graphic is used instead of a solid bar. PIE CHART: A pie chart (or a circle graph) is a circular chart divided into sectors, illustrating relative magnitudes or frequencies or percents. In a pie chart, the arc length of each sector (and consequently its central angle and area), is proportional to the quantity it represents. Together, the sectors create a full disk. It is named for its resemblance to a pie which has been sliced.

DATA ANALYSIS ANALYSIS The soft drink market of India are by and large controlled and governed by the soft drink giant company, COCA-COLA and PEPSI. Except these two, there is a very weak and limited participation is felt by the CADBURY SCHWEEP. The only presence of the two giant company doesnt mean absence of competition rather a neck to neck competition, a dual of strategy and counter strategy is all time present to capture a greater market share. For extracting the total strength, two companies have a wide variety of soft drink. Different flavour and different packs are available from both the companies. Let us take a glimpse of the different flavour available for both the company.

FINDINGS FINDINGS With the predetermined objective for finding the customer demand and retailers respondent for Coca-Cola product is AGRA CITY area. A detail survey of the retailer and proper analysis of the available data has been done. Coca-Cola is having a greater customer demand for its product. Bur PEPSI is no longer for behind. They are also coming up with their full strength and has started to capture the market with & customasssers. The total marked of Shashadra can be grouped in to main areas, Nand Nagri, Dilshad garden, Bhajanpura, Gokulpuri, Jyoti Nagar, Maan sarovar park, , Mojpur, Karaval Nagar, Bhajanpura, Sleempur, Sewa Dham Road. All there are quite vast and possess a fish customer demand. Numbers of outlets there from kirok toretorement. Denbite of bisg demand and loge number of our lets, company provider only and distributors

SUGGESTION AND CONCLUSIOON SUGGESTION Sometimes the delivery vans of Coca-Cola starts late from the distribution point and

that of rivals reach early .so eateries, which generally serve soft drinks in the glass, buy the soft drinks from the delivery van which arrives first. Salesman at the delivery van to be inconsistent on certain meters likes the concept of broken bottles. When dealing with the shop and the eatery owners some salesman do exchange bottles while some do not? Finally, Following are the findings and suggestions after analyzing all data: Promotional scheme played important role in the sale of carbonated drinks. Availability is also the important factor in the sale of cold drink after taste. RTM and Red are the most successful policy of the company. Free bottles per crate offer will be more successful if it is club with the RED scoring instead of Sales Executive decision. Consumer are most interested in Bumper prize policy of promotion. CONCLUSION From the analysis of the data, it can be concluded that the market share of CocaCola is more than the market share of Pepsi. The demand of Coca-Colas product is more with the comparison of Pepsi product. Supply of various flavours is not adequate. Flavour likes Limca and Maaza have a high customer demand, but their supply is irregular. Competitors are taking advantage of this Replacement procedure of faulty bottles is very low. It promotes retairs dissatisfaction. It can be noticed that the company has spent a lot on its advertising and sales promotion, its sales are better. The only thing that is lacking to some extent is service. So by enhancing the quality of service and also by modifying some of the routes of distribution, the company can gain more turnover from the market what the company just doing is just concentrating on increasing the sales without bothering the relationship with the retailers. So, instead of relying on volume of sales, the company should try to build a long-lasting relationship with the retailers.

CHAPTER 1

1.1: GENERAL INTRODUCTION

REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY The Delhi Residential real estate market has maintained its buoyancy in 2004. The growing housing demand of the burgeoning middle and upper middle class supported by the competitive low interest rates continues to fuel the growth of the suburban residential market. This growth is evident in the overall evolution of the residential developments in the suburbs highlighted by the new highland mid end developments in Gurgaon and Noida, such as World Spa,Pinnacle, Belmonte, Uniworld City, The Forest etc. All these projects boost of high specifications in terms of quality of construction in comparison to the previous projects along with luxurious amenities and facilities. Also most of these projects have witnessed recompilation bookings to the extent of 75 to 80% both by endusers and investors. The South Delhi residential market is mirroring a similar market sentiments the suburban region, the only difference being in the profile of the buyer. The demand is mainly led by small time investor group looking to place their funds in relatively liquid assets (as compared to other Real-Estate options) with a steady return on investment. This heightened demanding South Delhi from investors (which include Indian residents as well as NRI investor) and end users has lead to a shortage of good quality stock in the prime areas. It is interesting to note that in the last 6-8 months, the supply and demand dynamics in the market have reflected a complete turnaround with demand outstripping the supply. This scenario has resulted into a

25-30% rise of capital values in colonies such as Vasant Vihar, Westend, PanscheelsPark, Defence Colony, Golf Links etc. Rising trend of foreign investment in integrated townships. Foreign investment in the integrated township sector is displaying a rising trend after the Government of India, in the first quarter of 2002, allowed up to 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) for the development of integrated townships with a minimum area of 100 acres. Although the policies governing investment in the sector are still largely restrictive in terms of pre-conditions for interested parties, major developers, especially those from South East Asia, have been active in collaborating with local partners to execute large integrated township projects in major cities across the country. The first FDI project in the sector was a 100-acre residential township proposed for development in Delhis suburban business district of Gurgaon. Indian infrastructure and property consultancy firm Feedback Ventures Ltd tied up with Malaysian developers Kontur Bintang and Westport for this project. The total capital outlay is estimated to be USD 160 million. Another Malaysian firm, IJM Berhad, is also involved in two major projects a 2,200-

unit apartment project in the southern city of Hyderabad in a joint venture with the Andhra Pradesh Housing Board (APHB) and a 500-acre integrated township in SAS Nagar in Mohali, in North India, for which a memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed with the Punjab Urban Development Authority (PUDA).

Two more prominent projects are underway in Bangalore and Chennai, involving Singapore-based developers Keppel Land and Lee Kim Tah Holdings respectively. While Keppel Lands Bangalore project is in association with private developer Purvankara Projects, Lee Kim Tah Holdings has signed a MoU with the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) for the Chennai project. These five major projects, committed within a span of two years since FDI was allowed in the sector, is testimony to the fact that regional developers are optimistic about the Indian real estate market, particularly the residential segment. However, a marginal relaxation in foreign investment pre-requisites is needed to further align Indias real estate market with its regional counterparts. ECONOMIC OUTLOOK: The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) estimates that, India's gross domestic product (GDP) will grow significantly by 2003-2004. From July 1, for highvalue real estate transactions, Form 37(I) Income Tax clearances are not required. Budget 2002 had provided for the repeal of this provision allowing the government the pre-emptive right to purchase immovable property. This is a progressive step that significantly reduces the three-month waiting period before large-value transactions could be registered. A Rs 50 billion (US$1.02 billion) Urban Reforms Incentive Fund (URIF) has been proposed to motivate agencies at every level to undertake infrastructure reforms. Extra funds have been announced to those States pushing reforms, especially in the context of the Urban Land Ceiling Act. The soft interest rates regime has lowered cost of funds to housing finance institutions, translating into a drop in interest rates. This has triggered off a large take-up of finance by end users. CURRENT SCENARIO: Office markets showed signs of revival towards the end of Q1 2002, post September 11. Outsourcing drove these to India of 'back office operations' of financial institutions and call centers. However, the market saw some uncertainty as a result of tensions on the India-Pakistan border. The subsequent travel warnings issued by some Western governments delayed decision-making. The market is now looking more buoyant, with most corporate perceiving the travel advisories as an overreaction. In Delhi, rental and capital values continue to be soft and the principle business

districts are seeing movement of small corporate from secondary markets to the CBD, focused on A or B+ grade buildings. The suburban markets of Gurgaon and Noida are driven by larger space requirements of IT-enabled service (ITES) providers, primarily call centers. Major corporate offices are also relocating from the CBD to Gurgaon, primarily driven by quality and size of space offered. Landlords are offering single flexible and divisible floor plates of up to 25,000 sq ft. There is a clear link between shifting corporate destinations and the boost this provides to housing. This is evident in Gurgaon in Delhi where residential take-up has been in tandem with corporate influx. The middle to upper middle class residential market is active across the country. This market is driven by: Tax incentives offered by the government on housing loans. Lack of other attractive investment options such as the stock market or personal savings schemes. Improvement of transport linkages. Good quality products offered at reasonable cost by developers to boost lack-lustre markets The last quarter saw fresh leasing activity in Gurgaon with space commitments of approx. 150,000 sq. ft. However, values are expected to continue to be under pressure as new supply of over 65,000 sq. ft. is added. In the next 8-12 months, demand for IT enabled services will be in excess of 1.2-1.4 million sq. ft. Approximately 65% of this demand is likely to be split over 6 cities: Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai. RESIDENTIAL VALUES:

OFFICE MARKET CURRENT SCENARIO: Corporate take-up is driving Delhi's office market as well as call centers and other ITenabled users. Tenants are generally seeking fully fitted office space. In the CBD, such space is often vacated by corporate who have relocated to the suburbs. Sometimes landlords fit out space to attract good tenants. Takers of smaller office space such as Infar, Tellabs and Frederic R Harris in the CBD have opted for fully fitted facilities, vacated by previous tenants. In Gurgaon and Noida too, there has been take-up of fully fitted accommodation. Most landlords offer air conditioning and power back up, supported by professional real estate property management. In the CBD, landlords of properties such as Ashoka Estate and Hindustan Times House have improved these buildings, which have enabled them to upgrade tenant profile. The industrial areas of Udyog Vihar, Okhla and Mohan Co-operative too are seeing take-up by IT-enabled services. In the suburbs, developers have land and schemes, which are being marketed to corporate with large build-to-suit requirements. Noida and Gurgaon offer buildings with such larger floor plates which cater to large space users.

At present, Noida has better road infrastructure than Gurgaon. However, a six-lane flyover project on the National Highway 8 is scheduled to start soon in Gurgaon. This will improve the road connectivity to Gurgaon from Delhi. Both Noida and Gurgaon have emerged as prime residential locations, which produce an English-speaking workforce capable of servicing call centres, and IT enabled services companies. There are approx 40 call centres operational in Gurgaon and Noida. Call centres typically employ upwards of 100 people at a per-person-per-sq ft ratio of 70. Call center space take-up is therefore typically in excess of 7,000 sq ft upto approx 200,000 sq ft.

Research is scientific & systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic, infect research is an art of scientific investigation. Research Methodology is a scientific way to solve research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is dont scientifically. In it we study various steps that are generally adopted

by researchers in studying their research problem. It is necessary for researchers to know not only know research method techniques but also technology. The scope of Research Methodology is wider than that of research methods. The research problem consists of series of closely related activities. At times, the first step determines the native of the last step to be undertaken. Why a research has been defined, what data has been collected and what a particular methods have been adopted and a host of similar other questions are usually answered when we talk of research methodology concerning a research problem or study. The project is a study where focus is on the following points: RESEARCH DESIGN: A research design is defined, as the specification of methods and procedures for acquiring the Information needed. It is a plant or organizing framework for doing the study and collecting the data. Designing a research plan requires decisions all the data sources, research approaches, Research instruments, sampling plan and contact methods. Research design is mainly of following types: 1. Exploratory research. 2. Descriptive studies 3. Casual studies

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH: The major purposes of exploratory studies are the identification of problems, the more precise Formulation of problems and the formulations of new alternative courses of action. The design of exploratory studies is characterized by a great amount of flexibility and ad-hoc veracity. DESCRIPTIVE STUDIES :

Descriptive research in contrast to exploratory research is marked by the prior formulation of specific research Questions. The investigator already knows a substantial amount about the research problem. Perhaps as a Result of an exploratory study, before the project is initiated. Descriptive research is also characterized by a Preplanned and structured design. CASUAL OR EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN : A casual design investigates the cause and effect relationships between two or more variables. The hypothesis is tested and the experiment is done. There are following types of casual designs: I. After only design II. Before after design III. Before after with control group design IV. Four groups, six studies design V. After only with control group design. VI. Consumer panel design

VII. Exposit facto design 4.3 ANALYSES OF DATA A) DATA COLLECTION METHOD

PRIMARY SECONDARY

Direct personal Interview Indirect personal Interview Information from correspondents Govt.publication Mailed questionnaire Report Committees & Commissions Question filled by enumerators. Private Publication Research Institute PRIMARY DATA: These data are collected first time as original data. The data is recorded as observed or encountered. Essentially they are raw materials. They may be combined, totaled but they have not extensively been statistically processed. For example, data obtained by the peoples. SECONDARY DATA: Sources of Secondary Data Following are the main sources of secondary data: 1. Official Publications: Publications of the JAYPEE REAL ESTATE and by the

corporate office of JAYPEE REAL ESTATE. 2. Publications Relating to Trade: Publications of the trade associations, stock exchange, trade union etc. 3. Journal/ Newspapers etc.: Some newspapers/ Journals collect and publish their own data, e.g. Indian Journal of economics, economist, Economic Times. 4. Data Collected by Industry Associations: For example, data available with JAYPEE REAL ESTATE. 5. Unpublished Data: Data may be obtained from several companies, organizations, working in the same areas. For example, data on JAYPEE REAL ESTATE magazines. Period of Study: This study has been carried out for a maximum period of 8 weeks. Area of study: The study is exclusively done in the area of marketing. It is a process requiring care, sophistication, experience, business judgment, and imagination for which there can be no mechanical substitutes.

Sampling Design: The convenience sampling is done because any probability sampling procedure would require detailed information about the universe, which is not easily available further, it being an exploratory research. Sample Procedure: In this study judgmental sampling procedure is used. Judgmental sampling is preferred because of some limitation and the complexity of the random sampling. Area sampling is used in combination with convenience sampling so as to collect the data from different regions of the city and to increase reliability. Sampling Size: The sampling size of the study is 50 users. METHOD OF THE SAMPLING PROBABILITY SAMPLING:

It is also known as random sampling. Here, every item of the universe has an equal chance or probability of being chosen for sample. Probability sampling may be taken inform of: SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING A simple random sample gives each member of the population an equal chance of being chosen. It is not a haphazard sample as some people think! One way of

achieving a simple random sample is to number each element in the sampling frame (e.g. give everyone on the Electoral register a number) and then use random numbers to select the required sample. Random numbers can be obtained using your calculator, a spreadsheet, printed tables of random numbers, or by the more traditional methods of drawing slips of paper from a hat, tossing coins or rolling dice. SYSTEMATIC RANDOM SAMPLING This is random sampling with a system! From the sampling frame, a starting point is chosen at random, and thereafter at regular intervals. STRATIFIED RANDOM SAMPLING With stratified random sampling, the population is first divided into a number of parts or 'strata' according to some characteristic, chosen to be related to the major variables being studied. For this survey, the variable of interest is the citizen's attitude to the redevelopment scheme, and the stratification factor will be the values of the respondents' homes. This factor was chosen because it seems reasonable to suppose that it will be related to people's attitudes

CLUSTER AND AREA SAMPLING

Cluster sampling is a sampling technique used when "natural" groupings are evident in a statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this technique, the total population is divided into these groups (or clusters) and a sample of the groups is selected. Then the required information is collected from the elements within each selected group. This may be done for every element in these groups or a subsample of elements may be selected within each of these groups. NON PROBABILITY SAMPLING It is also known as deliberate or purposive or judge mental sampling. In this type of sampling, every item in the universe does not have an equal, chance of being included in a sample. It is of following type: CONVENIENCE SAMPLING

A convenience sample chooses the individuals that are easiest to reach or sampling that is done easy. Convenience sampling does not represent the entire population so it is considered bias. QUOTA SAMPLING In quota sampling the selection of the sample is made by the interviewer, who has been given quotas to fill from specified sub-groups of the population. JUDGMENT SAMPLING The sampling technique used here in probability > Random Sampling. The total sample size is 50 profiles. 4.4 SUMMARIES OF FINDINGS BUSINESS STRATEGIES OF THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY THE MARKETING CONCEPT The marketing concept is a business philosophy that challenges the three business orientations we just discussed. Its central tenets crystallized in the mid-1950s. The marketing concept holds that the key to achieving its organizational goals consists of the company being more effective than competitors in creating, delivering, and communicating customer value to its chosen target markets. The marketing concept has been expressed in many colorful ways: "Meeting needs profitably." "Find wants and fill them.' "Love the customer, not the product." "Have it your way.' (Burger King) "You're the boss." (United Airlines) "Putting people first." (British Airways) "Partners for profit." (Milliken & Company) Theodore Levitt of Harvard drew a perceptive contrast between the selling and marketing concepts:

Selling focuses on the needs of the seller; marketing on the needs of the buyer. Selling is preoccupied with the seller's need to convert his product into cash; marketing with the idea of satisfying the needs of the customer by means of the product and the whole cluster of things associated with creating, delivering and finally consuming it. The marketing concept rests on four pillars: target market, customer needs, integrated marketing, and profitability. They are illustrated in Figure where they are contrasted with a selling orientation. The selling concept takes an inside-out

perspective. It starts with the factory, focuses on existing products, and calls for heavy selling and promoting to produce profitable sales. The marketing concept takes an outside-in perspective. It starts with a well defined market, focuses on customer needs, coordinates all the activities that will affect customers, and produces profits by satisfying customers. see the Marketing Insight Scholars and Dollars: Marketing and Selling Comes to College. TARGET MARKET Companies do best when then choose their target market(s) carefully and prepare tailored marketing programs CUSTOMER NEEDS A company can define its target market but fail to correctly understand the customers' needs. Consider the following example:

A major chemical company invented a new substance that hardened into a marble like material. Looking for an application, the marketing department decided to target the bathtub market. The company created a few model bathtubs and exhibited them at a trade show. They hoped to convince manufacturers to produce bathtubs with the new material. Although bathtub manufacturers thought the tubs were at-tractive, none signed up. The reason soon became obvious. 7he bathtub would have to be priced at $2,000, whereas most bathtubs sold in the $500 range. For the higher price, consumers could buy tubs made out of real marble or onyx. In addition, the bathtubs were so heavy that homeowners would have to reinforce their floors. Understanding customer needs and wants is not always simple. Some customers have needs of which they are not fully conscious. Or they cannot articulate these needs. Or they use words that require some interpretation. What does it mean when the customer asks for an 'inexpensive" car, a 'powerful' lawn mower, a 'fast' lathe, an "attractive" bathing suit, or a 'restful" hotel? Consider the customer who says he wants an inexpensive car. The marketer must probe further. We can distinguish among five types of needs: 1. Stated needs (the customer wants an inexpensive car) 2. Real needs (the customer wants a car whose operating cost, not its initial price, is low) 3. Unstated needs (the customer expects good service from the dealer) 4. Delight needs (the customer would like the dealer to include a gift of a U.S. road atlas) 5. Secret needs (the customer wants to be seen by friends as a savvy consumer) Responding only to the stated need may shortchange the customer. Consider a woman who enters a hardware store and asks for a sealant to seal glass window panes. This customer is stating a solution,

not a need. The salesperson might suggest that tape would provide a better solution. The customer may appreciate that the salesperson not her need, not her stated solution. A distinction needs to be drawn between responsive marketing, anticipative marketing, and creative marketing. A responsive marketer finds a stated need and fills it. An anticipative marketer looks ahead into what needs customers may have in the near future. A creative marketer discovers and produces solutions customers did not ask for but to which they enthusiastically respond. Hamel and Prahalad believe that companies must go beyond just asking consumers what they want: Customers are notoriously lacking in foresight. Ten or 15 years ago, how many of us were asking for cellular telephones, fax machines, and copies at home, 24-hour discount brokerage accounts, multi valve automobile engines, compact disc players, cars with on-board navigation systems, hand-held global satellite positioning receivers, automated teller machines, MTB, or the Home Shopping Network? Why is it supremely important to satisfy target customers? Because a company's sales each period come from two groups: new customers and repeat customers. One estimate is that attracting a new customer can cost five times as much as pleasing an existing one. And it might cost sixteen times as much to bring the new customer to the same level of profitability as the lost customer. Customer retention is thus more important than customer attraction. INTEGRATED MARKETING When all the company's departments work together to serve the customer's interests, the result is integrated marketing. Unfortunately, not all employees are trained and motivated to work for the customer. An engineer once complained that the salespeople are "always protecting the customer and not thinking of the company's interest'! He went on to blast customers for "asking for too much." The following example highlights the coordination problem: The marketing vice president of a major European airline wants to increase the airline's traffic share. His strategy is to build up customer satisfaction through providing better food, cleaner cabins, better trained cabin crews, and lower fares. Yet he has no authority in these matters. The catering department chooses food that keeps down food costs; the maintenance department uses cleaning services that keep down cleaning costs; the human resources department hires people without regard to whether they are naturally friendly; the finance department sets the fares. Because these departments generally take a cost or production point of view, the vice president of marketing is stymied in creating an integrate

marketing mix. Integrated marketing takes place on two levels. First, the various marketing functions-sales force, advertising, customer service, product management, marketing research-must work together. Too often the sales force thinks product managers set prices or sale quotas "too high"; or the advertising director and a brand manager all not agree on an advertising campaign. All these marketing functions must be co-ordinated from the customer's point of view. Second, marketing must be embraced by the other departments; they must also "think customer." According to David Packard of Hewlett-Packard: "Marketing is far too important to be left only to the marketing department!" Marketing is not a department so much as a company wide orientation. Xerox goes so far as to include in every job description an explanation of how that job affects the customer. Xerox factory managers know that visits to the factory can help sell a potential customer if the factory is

clean and efficient. Xerox accountants know that customer attitudes are affected by Xeroxs billing accuracy and promptness in returning calls. To foster teamwork among all departments, the company carries out internal marketing as well as external marketing. External marketing is marketing directed at people outside the company. Internal marketing is the task of hiring, training, and motivating able employees who want to serve customers well. In fact, internal marketing must precede external marketing. It makes no sense to promise excellent service before the company's staff is ready to provide it. Managers who believe the customer is the company's only true 'profit center' consider the traditional organization chart in Figure 1.8(a)- a pyramid with the president at the top, management in the middle, and front-line people and customers at the bottom-obsolete. Master marketing companies invert the chart, as shown in Figure 1.8(b). At the top are the customers; next in importance are the front-line people who meet, serve, and satisfy the customers; under them are the middle managers, whose job is to support the front-line people so they can serve the customers well; and at the base is top management, whose job is to hire and support good middle managers. We have added customers along the sides of Figure 1.8(b) to indicate that all the company's managers must be personally involved in knowing, meeting, and serving customers. PROFITABILITY The ultimate purpose of the marketing concept is to help organizations achieve their objectives. In the case of private firms, the major objective is profit; in the case of

nonprofit and public organizations, it is surviving and attracting enough funds to perform useful work. Private firms should not aim for profits as such but to achieve profits as a consequence of creating superior customer value. A company makes money by satisfying customer needs better than its competitors. Consider Frank Perdue's philosophy: Most companies do not embrace the marketing concept until driven to it by circumstances. Various developments prod them to take the marketing concept to heart: Sales decline: When sales fall, companies panic and look for answers. Today, newspapers are experiencing declining circulation as more people rely on radio, TV, and the Internet for their news. Some publishers now realize that they know little about why people read newspapers. These publishers are commissioning consumer research and attempting to redesign newspapers to be contemporary, relevant, and interesting to readers. They are also starting Web pages. Slow growth: Slow sales growth leads some companies to search for new markets. They realize they need marketing skill to identify and select new opportunities. Wanting new sources of revenue, Dow Chemical entered consumer markets and invested heavily to acquire consumer marketing expertise to perform well in these markets. Changing buying patterns: Many companies operate in markets characterized by rapidly changing customer wants. These companies need more marketing knowhow if they are to track buyers' changing values. Increasing competition: Complacent companies may suddenly be attacked by powerful competitors. AT&T was a regulated, marketing-naive telephone company until the 1970s, when the government began allowing other companies to sell telecommunications equipment. AT&T plunged into

the marketing waters and hired the best marketers it could find to help it compete. Companies in deregulated industries all find it necessary to build up marketing expertise. Increasing marketing expenditures: Companies may find their expenditures for advertising, sales promotion, marketing research, and customer service to be poorly done. Management then decides it is time to undertake a serious marketing audit to improve its marketing. In the course of converting to a marketing orientation, a company faces three hurdles: organized resistance, slow

learning, and fast forgetting. BUSINESS AND MARKETING ARE CHANGING We can say with some confidence that 'the marketplace isn't what it used to be. It is changing radically as a result of major societal forces such as technological advances globalization, and deregulation. These major forces have created new behaviors challenges:

Customers increasingly expect higher quality and service and some customization They perceive fewer real product differences and show less brand loyalty They cab obtain extensive product information from the Internet and other sources, peel ting them to shop more intelligently. They are showing greater price sensitive their search for value. Brand manufacturers are facing intense competition from domestic and foreign brands, which is resulting in rising promotion costs and shrinking profit margins. They are being further buffeted by powerful retailers who command limited shelf space and are putting out their own store brands in competition with national brands. Store-based retailers are suffering from an oversaturation of retailing. Small retailers are succumbing to the growing power of giant retailers and "category killers.' Store-based retailers are facing growing competition from catalog houses; direct-mail firms; newspaper, magazine, and TV direct-to-customer ads; home shopping TV; and the Internet. As a result, they are experiencing shrinking margins. In response, entrepreneurial retailers are building entertainment into stores with coffee bars, lectures, demonstrations, and performances. They are marketing an 'experience" rather than a product assortment. COMPANY RESPONSES AND ADJUSTMENTS Companies are doing a lot of soul-searching, and many highly respected companies are changing in a number of ways. Here are some current trends: Re-engineering: From focusing on functional departments to reorganizing by key processes, each managed by multidiscipline teams.

Outsourcing: From making everything inside the company to buying more goods and services from outside if they can be obtained cheaper and better. A few companies are moving toward outsourcing

 everything, making them virtual companies owning very few assets and, therefore, earning extraordinary rates of return. E-commerce: From attracting customers to stores and having salespeople call on offices to making virtually all products available on the Internet. Consumers can access pictures of products, read the specs, shop among on-line vendors for the best prices and terms, and click to order and pay. Business-to-business purchasing is growing fast on the Internet: Purchasing agents can use bookmarked Web sites to shop for routine items. Personal selling can increasingly be conducted electronically, with buyer and seller seeing each other on their computer screens in real time. Benchmarking: From relying on self-improvement to studying "world-class performers' and adopting "best practices." Alliances: From trying to win alone to forming networks of partner firms. Partner-suppliers: From using many suppliers to using fewer but more reliable suppliers who work closely in a 'partnership" relationship with the company. Market-centered: From organizing by products to organizing by market segment. Global and local: From being local to being both global and local. Decentralized: From being managed from the top to encouraging more initiative and "intrepreneurship' at the local level. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Do you believe that major highways should be closed to protect an endangered species? Do you believe there should be a relationship between costs and benefits when it comes to environmental issues? Did you grow up in a home with lead-based paint? Do you believe that condor is better served with rice or a glazed sauce? Just curious.... At the local level, voters ought to ask about tax policies, zoning, growth restrictions, road development, rent control (where it still exists), subsidized housing and socalled "smart growth" policies. And at the end of this process -- whether or not you can get a straight answer to any of these questions -- you ought to go out and vote in November. It's your way to exercise power.

GOVERNMENT POLICY

GOVERNMENT NATIONAL ENERGY POLICY IN REAL ESTATE The Issue Electricity is one of the largest operating expenses for owners of commercial real estate. Legislation at both the federal and state levels would deregulate and promote competition in the electric utility industry, thus presumably providing cheaper, more efficient power to owners and operators of commercial real estate and presenting commercial real estate developers with choices regarding utility providers. To date there has been much debate over which path our country should move with a national energy policy. Much of the debate has been focused on several issues: Consumer access to adequate supplies of reasonably priced energy. Reduction in the demand for energy. Incentives for all consumers to improve their energy efficiency. Increased domestic energy supplies, less reliance on foreign energy sources Modernization and expansion of the existing power grid capabilities. Position Members believe that a comprehensive approach is the best way to ensure all consumers realize the most wide-ranging benefits while ensuring the country conserves its natural resources. Further, believes that the Federal Government must implement a national energy policy, which guarantees all consumers have access to adequate supplies of reasonably priced energy. Believes that this goal may be achieved only if the Federal Government demonstrates a leadership role in: Identifying reliable sources of domestic and renewable energy. Eliminating unreasonable regulatory burdens and restrictions which inhibit the development of these energy sources. Identifying and eliminating regulatory structures which impose artificial pricing schemes. Ensuring an uninterrupted transmission and distribution energy network. Protecting consumers in the absence of competitive market forces. Legislation No new legislation has been introduced in the 109th Congress Talking Points Identify reliable sources of domestic and renewable energy. Eliminate unreasonable regulatory burdens and restrictions which inhibit the development of these energy sources. Identify and eliminate regulatory structures which impose artificial pricing schemes. Ensure an uninterrupted transmission and distribution energy network. Protect consumers in the absence of competitive market forces.

4.5 SUMMARY OF LEARNINGS EXPERIENCE Non-commission revenues will become critical to the profitability formula. More and more menu driven services will be offered. Almost every aspect of the transaction will be part of an electronic. Electronic commerce will require standardization. Standards will cause commodization. The unconnected agent will become the endangered species. Predictability/accountability will be the keys. The agent will be reevaluated. The Internet business will be a significant market share (25-Interactivity on the Internet will be the norm. A significant share of transactions will be managed from point of contact. Meeting the customers definition of value will be Managed transactions will use designated service providers at all levels of the transaction. Marketing resources will be invested where they generate proven results. Range of products and services will be limited only by imagination. The real estate industry should prepare for an increasingly technology-driven environment in which empowered consumers drive the mark competitive dynamics. A plethora of new entrants will emerge to capitalize on technology enabling new business models and value propositions. CAREERS IN REAL ESTATE The real estate profession has expanded and offers one of the widest career selections in the business world today. Helping people buy and sell homes, office buildings, industrial property and corporation farmland, property management, land development, mortgage banking, urban planning, real estate counseling, appraisal and research are all aspects of a career in real estate.

The "voice for real estate" and the industry's national professional organization is the National Association of Realtors. ADVANTAGES AND REWARDS OF A CAREER IN REAL ESTATE A career in real estate provides flexibility and freedom to set your own pace. Income directly reflects your efforts, with no limits on what astute, hard-working men and women can earn. Successful people in real estate are goal-oriented, persevering, self-motivated, ambitious and people-oriented. The rewards of a real estate career are a potential for high earnings, status in the community, autonomy, time freedom, helping people, the intellectual challenge and the satisfaction from those accomplishments.

Working in real estate allows for independence and choices of environment in which to work, such as affiliation with a large or small firm as a listed salesperson. With more experience and upon passing of an additional exam, becoming a real estate broker is the next step. Brokers can own their own businesses and employ other salespeople.

TYPES OF CAREERS IN REAL ESTATE: Careers in Residential Brokerage Helping people buy and sell homes, is one of the most important and basic services a real estate agent performs. Agents are experts in the process of buying and selling property, financing, government programs, for example. The real estate agent's expertise facilitates the transaction, saving clients time, trouble and money. Real estate professionals need to have a thorough knowledge of such areas as real estate law, local economics, and fair housing laws, types of financing, mortgages and government programs. Careers in Commercial Brokerage Commercial brokers specialize in income-producing properties, such as apartment and office buildings, retail stores and warehouses, shopping centers and industrial parks. To understand and explain why the properties are good investments, commercial brokers need to be aware of the growth possibilities of the

area where the property is located, current income tax regulations and purchasing arrangements that give the buyer a greater return on investment. Commercial brokers may also have to arrange financing. Careers in Industrial and Office Brokerage Industrial and office brokers specialize in the developing, selling or leasing property used for industry or manufacturing. Brokers need to understand different types of industries and determine such variables as

transportation, proximity to raw materials, water and power, labor availability and local building, zoning and tax laws. Careers in Property Management The property manager's primary function is to maintain the property in order to produce the highest possible financial return over the longest period of time. More importantly, the property manager is responsible for protecting the owner's investment. Managed commercial properties are likely to be office buildings and shopping centers. Residential properties might be apartment buildings, apartment

developments, condominiums and groups of homes owned by a single investor. Property managers usually work for real estate firms. However, other opportunities are found in the real estate department of banks and trust companies. For large housing and commercial developments, managers are often expected to maintain an office or residence on the premises and work with only one enterprise. When living onsite, property managers can expect to be on call for emergencies at all times, beyond maintaining standard working hours. Careers in Land Development Land development is one of the most important and challenging specialties in real estate today. Developers turn land into profitable, marketable developments residential, commercial or industrial. Site selection is the first decision developers must make. Planning and layout is handled only after the developer determines the need for a project. Before the actual building can begin, developers must first analyze all costs and arrange the financing. Then, they contract for the physical structures and supervise

construction. Finally, developers promote the finished development to the prospects for whom it was planned. Careers in Farm and Land Brokerage Land brokers deal in land for farming and acquisition of rural land by cities for residential, commercial and industrial expansion. Success as a land broker depends on how accurately the income potential of the property can be established. Brokers need a good working knowledge of various factors which determines a farm's capacity to produce, including agricultural knowledge and information such as market centers and transportation facilities. Careers in Real Estate Appraising Real estate appraisers determine the value of properties. Real estate is appraised to determine many types of values - assessed value for tax purposes, investment value or present value for a potential investor, "book" value for accounting purposes, rental value for income projections and insurable value. Appraisers need to know acceptable principles of appraisal and related information. They need to have practical experience, technical education, good judgement and some knowledge of mathematics, accounting and economics. Careers in Urban Planning

If you would like to improve the environment and the quality of people's lives,

becoming an urban planner may fulfill your career objective. Urban planners work with local governments and other civic groups to anticipate their city's future growth. They propose physical changes to accommodate this growth. Not many career guidelines exist for urban planning, but broad general experience is important. Some colleges are now offering degrees in urban planning. Careers in Real Estate Counseling Real estate counselors are in the business of giving advice about property. They are the experts others seek when they want answers to real estate questions. Counselors must know every phase of the real estate business because they use that knowledge in nearly every consultation. Often they will be asked about income opportunities and productive uses of different kinds of properties. There are relatively few brokers specializing in counseling, but the field will grow as investors and owners realize the value of expert advice in developing property and improving income. While accumulating experience in other real estate specialties, people planning to become real estate counselors also continue to study in continuing education programs in financial management. Careers in Real Estate Research Real estate researchers contribute to the decisions of many other real estate specialists. Brokers, property managers, appraisers, financing experts and counselors all depend on data provided by research. Research can be divided into two main categories - physical and economic. Physical research means studying buildings and structures of all types, especially in terms of the selection and efficient use of construction materials. Economic research consists of determining reliable answers to questions like, "How many people hope to buy homes next year?" - "What will it cost them to borrow mortgage money?" and "What percentage of the nation's homes are sub-standard?" BARRIERS TO REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY

First, barriers for market access will be removed this year. According to INDIAs WTO commitment, wholly foreign-funded companies will be allowed to enter its real estate market within three years after its WTO accession, and Sino-foreign cooperative and joint venture real estate companies given national treatment. Following this principle, Delhi has relaxed the restrictions for overseas investment to enter the citys property market. Though overseas investment in the sector appeared mostly in the form of a joint venture, some foreign companies still plan on setting up wholly owned firms in India. Second, the 2008 Olympic Games to be held in Beijing has spurred the development of the citys real estate industry. Seeing the event as an opportunity, many foreign

companies came to seek cooperative partners in property development, including those from the United States, the Republic of Korea and Germany.

Third, the increasingly mature market has helped boom the sector. Delhi has also witnessed the improvement of the financing market and opening of land transactions, both serving as important conditions for the sound development of its real estate market. Early this year, Delhi issued a new regulation on the use of land for commercial projects. According to the regulation, the former practice of transferring the right to use land on the basis of agreement is replaced by auction, public bidding and other open ways, which is seen as a tangible step toward the establishment of an open, transparent and regular real estate market. The ongoing designing of the overall layout of Delhi will be completed at the end of this year. By then more opportunities for overseas investors will present themselves. The design is a new blueprint for the development of Delhi .

CONCLUSION

The Indian real estate sector continues its steady progress with overall sales activity going up significantly in the past six months. And the driving factor behind the entire process has been the information technology (IT) sector which has contributed considerably to the demand side. Moreover, the nature of demand has also undergone a complete transformation. From small floor plates of 1,000 sq ft to 5,000 sq ft, the demand has shifted to large contiguous floor plates of 6,000 sq ft to as high as 20,000 sq ft. This has forced builders/developers to offer large floor plates as office space in case of both lease and capital values. "In a buyer's market, sellers will have to offer products as per the requirement of buyers. In this market, only those builders catering to the need-based demand can succeed,. Most of the metros are today gearing up to meet the demand for large floor plates in accordance with the international trend. No longer is work station space per person limited to a mere 50-70 sq ft. Most of these IT companies are looking out for larger office spaces to meet their 100-120 sq ft per person work station need. Partho Gupta, a Mumbai-based software consultant, states that the bottomline is to enhance the productivity level of staffs by providing a conducive working ambience. "The nature of job in this sector is such that one needs a particular kind of surrounding for achieving an optimal efficiency level,.

According to a Cushman & Wakefield report, many multinationals are viewing Bandra-Kurla complex as the preferred destination for large commercial space requirement as there are limited options for large contiguous spaces of comparable

quality in south, central and north Mumbai. "Earlier it was the price (capital value & rental) factor that governed the relocation process to a large extent. However, now in the last one year or so, companies are relocating their offices in search of large floor spaces," opines Mr Ashok Kumar, director, Brooke International. Never before the industry had experienced this kind of demand for large floor plates for office spaces. Adding to this demand is the recent emergence of dotcom start-ups. According to an estimate, in the past eight months, one out of four transactions belonged to dotcom or net-related business.

Even as the initial hype has cooled down considerably, these dotcom ventures have played a big role in boosting the demand. Aashish Velkar, director, Cushman & Wakefield is still very bullish about the dotcom-driven demand. "On the positive side, mergers and acquisition have already started in the dotcom business. This will provide consolidation to the entire business and help these companies sustain in the longer run. According to Velkar, once again Bangalore is emerging as the favourite IT destination if one goes by the transactions that have taken place in the past three months.

RECOMMENDATIONS Promotional activitiesThis is one of the primary things that are required within the company. During my visits to different Company, I came across that there is no awareness of the company in the form of posters, stands and other related things. One thing that I would like to recommend would be the introduction of more promotional activities so as to generate more revenues for the company. Company can introduce more- Schemes Get together for channel partners Brand recognition in the market To Keep more inventories Advertisement in Institutional Areas

Focus more on b and c category Companies - This is also one of the prime things that are required. With around 80% of the revenues coming from less than 20% of the Companies, more focus should be given on b and c category companies. A category agents are said to be the agents who contribute more than Rs.50000 of

revenues per month. Companies should focus more on b and c category clients so that more of these clients can be converted into a category.

Co-ordination among different channels-With agency office in a different building and no direct control over the district operations, transparency between different channels is lacking. With the plan for executives that I have suggested above, there could be more transparency that can come in the overall operations of the NCR region. Different commission slabs for different channels- With commissions being one of the prime motives for the sales Executive to do business with different companies, more and more emphasis should be given on the commissions that are rendered to the agents.

Very limited corporate tie ups-This should be one of the most important thing that should be on the agenda for the travel category. A corporate tie-up can easily deliver a business of more than 50000 per month. Other than that, the contract is on a long term basis. This therefore helps in getting an easy business for the company. Therefore, from my point of view, more emphasis should be given on this category of business as well.
