The retail industry in India is growing rapidly but still in its early stages with most retailers entering from other industries. While major retailers initially focused on large cities, smaller cities are emerging as important markets. South Indian cities have embraced organized retail while the north still has potential. Rural India also offers major opportunities. Indian consumers seek value for money above all and aspire to better lives. International retailers have had mixed success, with those adapting to local tastes faring better. A one-size-fits-all approach won't work across India's diverse regions and consumer segments. The economy is growing fast but retailers must understand local needs to succeed.

5. ABOUT THE STUDY
Gone are the days when consumers were least bothered about their footwear and
wore whatever was offered to them however they need a strong and sustainable brand
which can offer sound tangible benefits, a footwear which is durable, comfortable as well
as stylish which can enhance their looks.
India is a country, which has always appreciated a naval ideal and a naval product.
When woodland and Mescos ventured into the Indian market they would have not
anticipated that their product would be so readily accepted by the Indian consumers, in
spite of being targeted at a premium price, people accepted it because it was not only a
new thing but also offered value for their money. Seeing the success of this footwear
MNC’s like as Nike, Reebok, and Adidas did not wait for the second call and with their
regular promotional activities the message was clearly penetrated in the mind of the
consumers about the benefits of the brand. In spite of being highly priced, these
companies are doing well in the Indian market, for that is Nike; Nike is constantly creating
new niches and protecting niches by the designing shoes for different sports activities.
After creating marketing for a particular niche they expand the niche by designing
different versions.
In this fast moving world with accelerating awareness through the electronic and
communications devices consumer consciousness has gained the tremendous momentum.
They simply do not make the purchase of a product if they are not aware of its entity.
Footwear companies are always into vigorous research to hold the consumers into their
hands by satisfying their needs and wants. Emerging competitions from the competitors
help the consumers to enjoy the benefits of the tussle. Every company wants to occupy the
heart of every consumer and please them in a way they like. The quotation ―consumer is
not a king but a queen‖ rightly fits in the era.

12. ORGANISATIONAL HISTORY
Our history and language are full of reference to shoes and chappals and the time
honored craft of shoes and chappal making. Shoemakers were the first craftsmen to
establish guilds in the Middle Ages and through the builds societies of craftsmen within a
common trade come a standard of quality, which earned the shoemaker a well-established
position in the community. The quality and care the shoemaker has taken with his craft has
earned him a place in the history and Bata shoe organization is proved to follow in this
tradition of time quality craftsmanship. Today Bata shoe organization is truly ―Shoemaker
and chappal maker to the world‖ and we invite you to join us and learn a little about the
long history of shoes and how they are designed and constructed.
Primitive man made his own shoes from the skins of the wild animal he hunted
and, where the climate was cold, he tied or around his lower leg. Primitive men were for
the most part, nomadic and he bound his feet for protection against the bites of insect,
often thorny forest flow and the heat of the earth on the dry plains. How the primitive men
bound his feet dependent on where lived and this form the very beginning we see that
shoes were used for protection but that to some extent the environment, the weather and
the land dictated style.
Thus, sandal was the earliest from of show made by a ―specialist‖ shoemaker. The
early Egyptians made sandals, which consisted of a sole head to the foot by single piece of
leather, which is circled the big toe. This from of sandal is called a thongs are still popular
today in certain parts of the world.
The Egyptian had an interesting custom, which indeed seems to be or origin of
expression under foot. The Egyptian painted or carved images of their enemies on the
bottom of their sandals. They believed, they could hurt their foe by treading on their
image, hence the expression; to be under foot‖
12 | P a g e
13. Early shoe design was often taken from nature and in addition to sandals the
Egyptians also wore a shoe within up turned toe model on the elephants tusk. The
Mesopotamian used the same design, but with a longer curved toe. Some believed that the
Chinese might have originated the curved toe design, as the boat with a peaked toe is quite
common among the Mongols today.
The early Greeks where barefoot except in foul weather and it was not until the
Hellenistic period around 232 BC that going barefoot out of dears become a sign of
slavery. At that time the wearing of shoes signified that the wearer was free and beginning
barefoot come to signify that the person was a slaved. Early Greek shoes were made from
one piece of leather, which was drawn over the foot by a threaded throng and tied around
the ankle.
The Romans carried their shoe style throughout the ancient world as the
conquered. They brought ―Roman Style‖ shoes to French and to Britain. The Moons who
conquered the Spain in the 8th century (711 AD), introduced a beautifully – soft-dyed
leather known as Cordovan. Their shoes fit snugly and covered the foot and the ankle.
They came to be called ―Babylonian‖ shoes.
Thus we see the different materials different regions of the known world. As
people traveled, traded, conquered, shoes style was carried from one region to another.
The shoemaker became a specialist, a respected, influential and need member of the
society. Shoes and chappals where made for specific uses, designed for specific climates
and where often decorated to harmonies with clothing style. Leather, wood and plant
elements (rice stalk in China and palm leaves in Egypt) where the primary materials
utilized in shoe making. In Europe, however leather remained an important part of the
shoemaker craft.
13 | P a g e
14. SHOE AND CHAPPAL’S STYLING A
REFLECATION OF SOCIALOGICAL CHANGES
In Europe,during the middle age distinct periods of style emerged together with
heavy ornamentation. Shoes of style where, of course, restricted to the wealthy, but
shoemakers, together with other craftsmen, began to emerge as a kind of middle class
between the ruling novelty and the serfs. In the 10th century there began a long period
marked by increasingly pointed shoes. There were wasted, and often featured embroidered
stitching. In the 11th century the soft, painted oriental slipper become popular. It is
believed that the crusaders probably introduced the oriental slipper. The peasants of this
period wore a wooden shoe called Sabot.
During several uprising against their landlords the peasants trampled their crops
under foot as an act of defense. Thus the derivation of the word ―Sabotage‖.
In the early 14th century during the early renaissance period the pointed toe reached
twelve inches beyond the foot and was stuffed with whalebone. Men of this period held
the toes of their shoes with the chains, which were attached to greater at the knees.
Following pointed toes the style became that exaggerated width with the sides of shoes
slashed and stuffed to give the foot and extra wide appearance, usually at the toe. Next
came the Chopine from Italy, a slipper with dramatically elevated toe. Eventually, the hell
and sole were cut separately and the sole was reduced in height. The high heel, worn by
both men and women, was introduced in the 16th century. During the 17th and 18th century
many styles came and went and a wide materials were used.
THE FRENCH COURT OF LOUIS THE XIV dictated the shoe styles of the
period, which seemed to reflect what many people saw as the ―excess‖ of the court. In fact
at one time, men’s shoes climb stairs backwards falling over their shoes. As a parallel
development to ―dress shoes‖ this period also gap reached to the development of special
military boots. The Hessian were will know and the term ―Wellington‖ came to mean
rubber boots in English speaking countries.
14 | P a g e
15. In the late 18th century shoe style underwent radical changes as they reflected
popular politics. The French Revolution was followed by period of simplicity in shoe
styles as people revealed against the lavishness of the court. Sandals, heels – less slippers
and low-cut shoes were adopted and the only acceptable decoration was a simple buckle.
This history of shoes very much apart of all history. In the beginning, necessity
dictated style and then though conquest, travel and trade, styles where exchanged among
the people of the world materials varied and decoration in footwear became popular to and
luxurious.. Simplicity then returned and shoes reflected the egalitarian ideas of the day.
Style, decoration and variety were to eventually return, of course.
Craftsmen shoemakers in single pairs produced one shoe; each cut, stitched and
tracked by hand in a time consuming, laborious method. The result; an expensive, custom-
made pair of shoes design in accordance with specifications and whims of a wealthy
client, more often than not a privileged member of a select segment of society.
The industrial revolution of the 19th century was to bring about vast changes in the
shoemakers’ craft, transforming the art though mass production techniques into a rapid,
highly automated, mechanical process. For the first time in history, good quality people,
thus achieving the long-short-after dream.
In turn, the automation of the shoe industry gave reach to the modern fashion –
oriented footwear industry. As peoples basic demanded and sought after more specialized
footwear; footwear for sports, for leisure, for work, footwear that satisfied needs of both
fashion and function. Today the footwear industry, the assimilation of scientific methods
and the findings of modern radical research particularly in the realm of sports medicine in
developing footwear in accordance with the physiology of the human foot and the
dynamics of the body in motion. Placed on reality.Ever looking to the future with
optimism. This is the golden profile of Bata India.

26. MARKET POTENTIAL:-
The intensity of possible contacts with markets. If a plant could be located in a
number of locations, it is useful to be able to estimate the probable volume of sales which
could be at each possible site. This is the market potential.
The maximum number of consumers available will usually be determined by
market research, but it may sometimes be calculated from demographic data or
government statistics. Ultimately there will, of course, be limitations on the number of
consumers. For guidance one can look to the numbers using similar products.
Alternatively, one can look to what has happened in other countries. The maximum
potential individual usage, or at least the maximum attainable average usage (there will
always be a spread of usage across a range of customers), will usually be determined from
market research figures. It is important, however, to consider what lies behind such usage.
CONSUMER PERCEPTION :-
Perception means adding meaning to the sensation by the help of past experience.
And it is a cognitive process. Services are having the distinct characteristics of
intangibility, heterogeneity, and most important the consumption and production
happening at same time.
The perception of customer for the price of services is different from that of
products. a person getting the service assesses the other persons abilities, competencies
etc. in a very short period so the relate the efficiency of the person with the price to be paid
to avail that service.
26 | P a g e
27. MEANING OF RESEARCH:-
Research is discovery of facts, developments of facts and verification of facts.
Research is an Endeavour to discover intellectual and practical solutions to the problems
through the applications of scientific methods to the knowledgeable universe; research is
the process which involves defining and redefining problems, hypotheses and conclusion
after careful testing. Research is the last report when individuals, organizations and
societies create some problems for which there are no answers, or when there is
inconsistency among answers. It is systematic way of knowing more about the world.
Research can be done in arbitrary or in a systematic manner.
DEFINITIONS:-
―Research is a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new
facts in any branch of knowledge‖ –BY OXFORD DICTIONARY.
―A systematized efforts to gain new knowledge‖. –BY REDMAN &MORY
MEANING OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:-
