18. MANAGEMENT STYLE
he organization structure for Big bazaar is flat in nature. For
Big bazaar, the divisions are apparel, non apparel and the new
business division, which includes gold, footwear and the shop-
in-shops. For Food Bazaar, a separate teem has been created
which again works independently.
bout 1,800 people work for Big bazaar directly. Support and
ancillary services comprise another 400 people. A new trainee
is put through a basic three day training program before going
on the shop floor. Evaluation is done every six months.
19. THE STRATEGY
aving is key to the Indian middle class consumer. The store, which would be
created, had to offer value to the consumer. Keeping this in mind, the concept of
Big bazaar was created. In India, when a customer needs something for the home,
a typical thought is to seek it from the bazaar. A bazaar is a place where a
complete range of products is always available to the consumer. This is true across
India. As the store would offer a large mix of products at a discounted price, the
name Big bazaar was finalized. The idea was to re-create a complete bazaar, with a
large product offering (at times modified to suit local needs) and to offer a good
depth and width in terms of range. The mind to market for the first store was just
six months.
rice was the basic value proposition at Big bazaar. The Big bazaar outlets sold a
variety of products at prices, which were 5 to 60 percent lower than the market
price. The line “Isse sasta aur achha kahin nahin” emphasized this.

23. MERCHANDISE ASSORTMENT
Pantaloons have applied the concept of category management in its day-
to-day merchandising function as against the traditional brand
management merchandising practice followed by most retailers.
Category managers look at sales and margins of each brand in a
category. The whole idea of category management is to create products
across length and breadth of a category at different price points, fabrics,
design, shape, seasons, colour and size.
