We have become so used to some of the home appliances that it seems difficult to live without them. Since the mid-1800s, people have been thinking of new and innovative ways to store food, cook food and clean up after eating food. Many of these ideas were good enough to be used by a large number of people and they are still around today. Indeed, they have made our life more comfortable and easier than ever. In metro cities and big towns, such household appliances are regarded as a boon, as they are instrumental in cutting down the time involved in most of the domestic chores. This is really a great help since people often find it difficult to keep a balance between professional obligation and household needs. China has become one of the world's major producers of home appliances after development over a decade. The Indian pressure cooker market size is approx. 9 million pieces p.a., which is equally divided between organized and unorganized sector. Pigeon enjoys 30%+ market share in the pressure cooker market of which it is the market leader in the outer lid market segment with 65% market share and 5% of its recently entered into and a highly competitive inner lid market. The branded cookers market has been growing at 5-6% over the last 4-5 years While Pigeon has witnessed volumes growth at 8 -10%. We expect this segment to continue to clock similar volumes growth over the next 2-3 years. Pigeon strategy in this segment has been to innovate and give the user a better product experience. Pigeon has introduced both aluminium and stainless steel cookers, the latter of which has given boost to the overall average realization. Pigeon product innovation, superior quality and product technology has always enabled it to command a superior price realization over its peers. Pigeon cookers are targeted towards middle class and the upper middle class and enjoy a 3-5% price premium over other branded manufacturers. Pricing Rate Structure and Incentives to Consumers. If done right, time of use electricity pricing will not require people to change their behavior to save money and help the environment. Communication Standards: Standards and protocols for communications with Smart appliances must be open and limited in number across all utility districts. While smart appliances must work seamlessly with electric utilities in a fully functional smart grid system, the consumer must always have control over the appliance. If a consumer wishes to override deferral of an appliance function and incur a higher electricity rate, they should be able to make

such a choice the boundary of the utility's reach should end at the smart meter. The purpose of the Pigeon is to provide more efficient use of energy, not for utilities to control or monitor appliance usage. It is commonly believed that a trio of kitchen appliancesthe refrigerator, the mixer-grinder, and the pressure cooker have transformed the lives of millions of housewives in India. Given the unique culinary habits of Indians, who use a lot of lentils and rice in their foods, the pressure cooker is perhaps the most important kitchen appliance in an Indian home.

Fresh induction only in critical / highly specialized areas based on requirements due to
increase in work load and super annotation profile.

II] TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT Training is one of the most important tools for developing human resource. Hence, identification of training competency profile in terms of Vision, Mission of the Company would be the strategic point of the training and development strategy of the Company.

Appraising people for meeting the Company's goal would be the prime focus of performance management. The new Performance Appraisal System based on work planning and commitment (mutually agreed tasks) , self-review and performance analysis, performance review and feedback would ensure that the focus would be on value adding activities rather than on routine activities which bear no relationship with the Organizations goals and objectives. Identification of low performers and resultant corrective action throughout the Company would be given priority. Similarly, faster career growth opportunity would be provided to high performers. IV] REWARD SYSTEM The focus of the reward system in the Company is to promote team work and cultivate a sense of achievement and excellence in the Organization. This is in addition to the existing scheme of reward for an individual who innovatively and creatively makes exemplary contributions in the key thrust areas of the Company that would lead to its achieving overall excellence.

The 7-S model is better known as McKinseys 7-S model. This is because of two persons who developed who developed this model. Developed in the early 1980s by Tom peters and Robert Waterman have been consultants at McKinsey &company at the time. The model starts on the premise that an organization is not just structure, but consists of seven elements. The 7-S model is a tool for managerial analysis and action that provides a structure with which to consider a company as a whole so that the organizations problem may be diagnosed and a strategy may be developed and implemented. The 7-S is a framework for analyzing organizations and their effectiveness. It looks at seven key elements that make the organization and their effectiveness: Strategy Structure System Style Skills Staff Shared values
The seven aspects of McKinseys framework are inter-twinned as shown in the diagram below:
27
The 7-S diagram illustrates the multiplicity of interconnectedness of elements that define organizations ability to change that it is not just a matter if devising a new strategy and following it through nor its a matter if devising a new strategy and following it through nor its a matter of setting up new system and letting them generate improvements. To be effective, their organization must have a high degree of fit, internal alignment amongst all the seven Ss. All Ss are interrelated and a change in one has a ripple effect on all the others. Its impossible to make progress on one without making progress on all. Thus, to improve their organization, you have to pay attention to all of the seven elements at the same time. There is no starting point or implied hierarchy. Different factors may drive the business in any one organization.
28
Those seven elements are distinguished as Hard Ss and soft Ss. The hard elements are feasible and easy to identify. They can be found in strategy statement, corporate plans and organizational charts and other documentations. The four soft Ss however, are difficult to describe since capabilities, values and elements of corporate culture are continuously developing and changing. They are highly determined by the people at work in the organization. Therefore it is much difficult to plan or to influence the people at work in the organization. Therefore it is much difficult to plan or to influence the characteristics of the soft elements.

Management style: More a matter of what manager do than what they say, how does a companys manager spend their time? What they say, how does a companys manager spend their time? What are they focusing attention on? Symbolism the creation and maintenance (or sometimes deconstruction) of meaning is a fundamental responsibility of managers.

Shared values: Guiding concepts, fundamental ideas around which a business is built must be simple, usually stated at abstract level, have great meaning inside the organization even though outsiders may not see or understand them.
