16. Research methodology
The scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific
topic in a planned and careful manner encompasses the meaning of
research methodology. It involves systematically solving the research
problem.
It involves careful selection of the research problem, its clear definition, the
research design, the selection of sample ,sources of collection of
data(primary or secondary), and data analysis.
I would be hereby discussing the research methodology applied by me while
PERSONNEL MANUAL AT HINDALCO , HINDALCO.
A. SELECTION OF TOPIC :
The topic assigned to me as part of my study at HINDALCO was
PERSONNEL MANUAL. A large number of employees undergo training
every year at HINDALCO. My study concentrated on
17.
18. B. Research design :
A research design is the framework within which a research is
carried on, it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and
analysis of data. It specifies the sources and types of information, the
strategy specifying the approach that will be used for gathering and
analyzing the data.
Mine was an exploratory research design. It involved precise investigation
and the major emphasis was discovering insights and ideas. The method in
this context that I had applied is called experience survey. I had to collect
informations directly from the employees who had undergone training and
had practical experience of it. On the basis of the informations gathered
from them , my analysis and conclusions proceeded.
19. C. sample selection:
All items in any field of enquiry constitute a universe or
population. A complete enumeration of all the items in population is
called census sampling. Enumeration of few items from the population
is called sampling. The respondents so selected act as representatives
of all the other items to as much extent as possible. The selected
respondents are called sample.
In my project all the employees of HINDALCO who had undergone the
training constitute the population.
For the purpose of my study, I utilized the sampling technique. There were
two different kinds of samples I had to deal with. The first comprising of the
participants who had undergone training, and the second one comprises of
the supervisors, under whom the participants perform. The first sample, that
20. is the participants gave information about the usefulness of the training
program, whether they were satisfied with it, whether there has been any
improvement in their performance after the completion of the program, and
whether they found the program relevant to their job and the other sample
comprising of the supervisors gave information whether the employees
under him have actually benefitted from the program, whether he found any

Hindalco Industries Limited, the metals flagship company of the Aditya Birla
Group, is an industry leader in aluminium and copper. A metals powerhouse with a
consolidated turnover in excess of US$ 14 billion, Hindalco is the world's largest
aluminium rolling company and one of the biggest producers of primary
aluminium in Asia. Its Copper smelter is the world's largest custom smelter at a
single location.
Established in 1958, Hindalco commissioned its aluminium facility at Renukoot in
Eastern U.P. in 1962. Later acquisitions and mergers, with Indal, Birla Copper and
the Nifty and Mt. Gordon copper mines in Australia, strengthened the company's
position in value-added alumina, aluminium and copper
40. products, with vertical integration through access to captive copper concentrates.
In 2007, the acquisition of Novelis Inc. a world leader in aluminium rolling and can
recycling marked a significant milestone in the history of the aluminium industry in
India. With Novelis under its fold Hindalco ranks among the global top five
aluminium majors, as an integrated producer with low-cost alumina and
aluminium facilities combined with high-end rolling capabilities and a global
footprint in 12 countries outside India. Its combined turnover of US$ 14 billion,
places it in the Fortune 500 league.
Hindalco in India enjoys a leadership position in Aluminium and Copper. The
Company's aluminium units across the country encompass the entire gamut of
operations from bauxite mining, alumina refining, aluminium smelting to
downstream rolling, extrusions, foils and alloy wheels, along with captive power
plants and coal mines. The Birla Copper unit produces copper cathodes,
continuous cast copper rods along with other by-products, including gold, silver
and DAP fertilizers.
All of Hindalco's units are ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001
certified. The Renukoot and Taloja units have gone a step further with an

aluminium ingots, billets, wire rods, rolled products, extrusions, foils and alloy
wheels.
42. The company has a significant market share in all the segments in which it
operates. It enjoys a domestic market share of 42 per cent in primary aluminium,
63 per cent in rolled products, 20 per cent in extrusions, 44 per cent in foils and 31

the international market. The company's metal is accepted for delivery under the
high grade aluminium contract on the London Metal Exchange (LME). The
company exports about 17 per cent of its total sales volume of aluminium.
The company's alumina chemical business is a leader in manufacturing and
marketing of speciality alumina and alumina hydrate products in the country. It
has a major market share in the country. These speciality products find wide usage
in diversified industries including water treatment chemicals, refractories,
ceramics, cryolite, glass, fillers and plastics, conveyor belts and cables, among
others. The company also exports these alumina chemicals to over 30 countries
covering North America, Western Europe and the Asian region.

leadership position in India, having built over 40 per cent of the
domestic market share within three years of its commissioning. It has
also made successful forays into the export markets of the Middle
