A study on customer satisfaction for fastrack watchesBella Meraki
Fastrack is one of the leading wrist watch brand in India, Fastrack was launched in 1998. The brand was aimed at the youth segment (15-25 years of age). The brand was promoted with the slogan "Cool Watches from Titan‖ Fastrack has an established brand image for quality, price and ranges of style it offers. However it is often found that customers have still certain issues with this brand, one of the issue is that the service after sales is not good. Customer often find it difficult to repair the watch or change the strap, dial etc. most of the retail stores doesn‘t keep spare parts reason being that Fastrack watches style changes at a faster rate, hence customers are forced to go with domestic brands straps which doesn‘t even suit the watch. Another issue is that all varieties of the brand is not available in all retail store, the customers are forced for online shopping to get their desired watches.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

History
With presence in over 4 continents and 40 countries,$ 1.46 billion company, Titan is the
worlds fifth largest and India’s largest wrist watch manufacturer. Since its inception as JV
between Tata group and TIDCO in 1984, the company has grown to develop and offer Titan,
Octane, Regalia, Fastrack, Nebula, Raga Xylys brands in the wrist watch market and has
extended to jewellery and accessories market through the brand Tanishq in 1995 and more
recently has entered into eye wear by launching eye gear sunglasses and prescription
sunglasses. As market leaders with over 60% market share in domestic organized watch
markets, Titan has recently claimed to have manufactured the world’s slimmest watch –
Titan Edge through devotion to extensive R&D activities.
Titan had set up its first plant for the manufacture of analog electronic watches in the state
industries promotion corporation of Tamil Nadu at Hosur in the year 1984 and went on to get
into an collaboration agreement with France Ebauches for technical documentation and
assistance in procurement of equipment and materials. In the year 1991 a joint venture
Company along with Economic Development Council of Goa, Daman & Diu Ltd., in the name
of Titan Time Products, Ltd., was set up at Goa, for the manufacture of Electronic Circuit
Blocks. The name of the Company was changed from Titan Watches, Ltd. to Titan Industries
Ltd. in the year 1993, in view of the fact that the Company's products consisted of not only
watches but also jewellery. Since then the company has consistently captured new markets
and thrown out many existing players to capture market leadership in the domestic market
and markets abroad.

All watches provide the time of day, giving at least the hour and minute, and usually the
second. Most also provide the current date, and often the day of the week as well. However,
many watches also provide a great deal of information beyond the basics of time and date.
Some watches include alarms. Other elaborate and more expensive watches, both pocket
and wrist models also incorporate striking mechanisms or repeater functions, so that the
wearer could learn the time by the sound emanating from the watch. This announcement or
striking feature is an essential characteristic of true clocks and distinguishes such watches
from ordinary timepieces. This feature is available on most digital watches.
Section B Group 13 Page 4
5. Great Lakes Institute of Management
A complicated watch has one or more functions beyond the basic function of displaying the
time and the date; such functionality is called complication. Two popular complications are
the chronograph complication, which is the ability of the watch movement to function as a
stopwatch, and the moon phase complication, which is a display of the lunar phase.
Other more expensive complications include Tourbillon, Perpetual calendar, Minute
repeater, and Equation of time. A truly complicated watch has many of these complications
at once. Some watches can both indicate the direction of Mecca and have alarms that can
be set for all daily prayer requirements. Among watch enthusiasts, complicated watches are
especially collectible. Some watches include a second 12-hour display for UTC (as Pontos
Grand Guichet GMT).
The similar-sounding terms chronograph and chronometer are often confused, although
they mean altogether different things. A chronograph has a stopwatch complication, as
explained above, while a chronometer watch has a high quality mechanical or a thermo-
compensated quartz movement that has been tested and certified to operate within a certain
standard of accuracy by the COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres). The
concepts are different but not mutually exclusive; so a watch can be a chronograph, a
chronometer, both, or neither.
Many computerized wristwatches have been developed, but none have had long-term sales
success, because they have awkward user interfaces due to the tiny screens and buttons,
and a short battery life. As miniaturized electronics became cheaper, watches have been
developed containing calculators, tonometer, barometers, altimeters, a compass using both
hands to show the N/S direction, video games, digital cameras, key drives, GPS receivers
and cellular phones. In the early 1980s Seiko marketed a watch with a television in it. Such
watches have also had the reputation as unsightly and thus mainly geek toys. Several
companies have however attempted to develop a computer contained in a wristwatch.
Braille watches have analogue displays with raised bumps around the face to allow blind
users to tell the time. Their digital equivalents use synthesised speech to speak the time on
command.
Some key unique features of Titan are:
1) Distinct watches in Gold and Leather
2) Stylish watches in Gold and Precious metals
3) Contemporary watches in stainless steel to withstand rigors of daily life

Sources of Brand Equity
The brand name “TITAN” is classical and is based on Greek mythology.
Brand Name:
Tagline: BE MORE. WHAT’S YOUR STYLE
Logo:
The pervasive blue-coloured Tata logo which was planned by the Wolff Olins consultancy
was given a modification to make it more Greek like , curbing the circle around to make a
base and giving it black and grey colour amalgamations and so the TITAN logo was born .
The logo represents indefiniteness.
Brand Meaning: Titan personifies anything of size, strength, or achievement.
Memorability: The name is very easy to recall and recognize
Likeability: The brand name is fundamentally expressive and cogent.
Transferable: The name Titan means achievement and anybody wearing a Titan is an
achiever is what is communicated. It can easily be applied across all product categories and
geographies.
Legal Protection: The brand name is legally protected in watches.
Slogan: “BE MORE”
Titan was launched in 1987 when watches were seldom stylish and catered to the basic
need of knowing the time. TITAN brought in the style concept and gradually built its brand
equity.
Jingle: Mozart’s Fifth Symphony
Titan has a typical signature tune taken from Mozart’s fifth symphony. TITAN pioneered the
concept of gifting watches and with the signature tune the watches caught the attention of
many.

TITAN’s Brand’s Architecture
Brand architecture goes beyond the visual/graphic naming relationship of brands and sub-
brands. It is about the overall experience created for your customer segments.
The Titan brand architecture comprises of several sub-brands:
• Titan Edge - world's slimmest watch based on the philosophy ‘less is more’,
• Titan Raga - feminine and sensuous accessory for today's woman,
• Nebula - crafted with solid 18k gold and precious stones.
Several other popular collections like Heritage, Aviator, Automatic, Regalia, Obaku, HTSE
also form a part of the Titan portfolio. Generally brand architecture comprises of two major
tiers. The top tier happens to be the corporate brand, TITAN and the second tier comprises
of “sub-brands”, Nebula, Heritage.
• Tier One focus: Companies that develop the corporate or parent brand as the
umbrella for overall products and services.
• Tier Two focus: Companies that primarily support their product/service brands.
A New Tier: One of the most innovative solutions is to create a new model that introduces a
new, third tier sitting between the parent and the product/service brands. This tier serves as
a platform for marketing efforts that is valuable from a number of perspectives. In the TITAN
portfolio of high premium watches, there seems to be a mismatch for the Tier two
approaches. TITAN corporate brand covers the Connoisseur segment watches but at the
same time these brands are on their own. A brand portraying the elegance is missing, which
might help TITAN to attract customers in that segment. TITAN which is basically known for
its product catering to semi premium segments, the high end segment requires more
branding and attention.
TITAN’s Brand Hierarchy Evaluation
The brand hierarchy of TITAN is apt. The core brand acts as the umbrella brand which
represents the institution as a whole. The sub brand identities of Nebula, Aviator, and
heritage are great and delivered their promise of elegance. The below diagram shows how
the brand has delivered, feeling of elegance and superiority right from the attribute level to

the highest level,. TITAN as a brand has been very conservative in approach but still has
managed to push itself as a sought after brand in the young generation.

company's profit after tax has gone up by 28 per cent from Rs1.37crore to Rs1.96crore
During the nine month period, Titan's watch sales rose from 31.38 lakh pieces to 36.90 lakh
units marking a growth of 18 per cent, led by brands like Regalia, Raga, Fastback, Sonata
(plastic) and its newly launched Dash labels. The growth has been exceptionally great and is
attributed to the following factors.

groups
• Strategic Planning criterion examines how the company develops strategic objectives
• The Information and Analysis criteria check whether the organisation has key metrics
in place
• The Human Resources Focus checks the appraisal system, the work environment
• Process management examines the product design, production and delivery process

TITAN brand awareness is seen as 86% on an overall India basis. West India has got
most (100%) brand awareness, followed by North India.
Figure 1 compares the three geographic groups that were analysed throughout the study
and
Identifies which geographic group is most familiar / least familiar with the brand. A chi square
test was applied to analyse whether there is a dependence of ‘geography’ (variable 1) on
‘familiarity with brand’ (variable 2).
The null hypothesis (H0) and alternative hypothesis (HI) for this test is:
Section B Group 13 Page 14
15. Great Lakes Institute of Management
H0: Geography is independent of familiarity with brand
HI: Geography is dependent on familiarity with brand
The results from the test gave a p-value (probability) of less than 0.05, which indicates that
there is enough statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, geography does
have an influence on whether the respondent will be familiar with the brand.

H0: south Indian = north Indian = West Indian = µ East Indian = central Indian
HI: At least one of the means of these populations differs
Section B Group 13 Page 17
18. Great Lakes Institute of Management
The p-value for this test is 0.03, indicating that there is enough statistical evidence to reject
the Null hypothesis. It was found that there is a significant difference between the means of
the various geographic groups.
.3 Whether there is a relationship between Desire for the Brand and Product Usage
A one-way variance test was applied to determine whether there was a difference in the
means
Between those respondents who have used TITAN products and their level of desire for the
Brand. The null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for this test is:
H0: Desire for the brand is not related to Usage of TITAN products
HI: Desire for the brand is related to Usage of TITAN products
The results of the test yielded a p-value of less than 0.01, which indicates that there is
enough Statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis. The results indicate that the desire
of those Respondents who have used TITAN products is stronger.
Behavioural Tendencies
The fifth brand characteristic that was investigated was the specific Behavioural
Tendencies with regard to the usage / purchase of Titan products. The information that was
sought included:
• Which ethnic group is the majority user of Titan products?
• How many respondents have used TITAN products as well as products from category?
Comparison of the three geographic groups that were analysed throughout the study and
identifies which geographic group has the most positive usage behaviour of Titan products.
A chi square test was applied to analyse whether there is a dependence of ‘Geography’’
(variable 1) on ‘used Titan products’ (variable 2). The null hypothesis and alternative
hypothesis for this test are:
H0: Geography is independent of product usage
HI: Geography is dependent on product usage
Section B Group 13 Page 18
19. Great Lakes Institute of Management
The results of the test yielded a p-value of 0.046 which indicates that there is enough
statistical evidence to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, ethnicity does have an influence
on whether the consumer has used any Titan products.
Value Proposition
The sixth, and final, brand characteristic that was investigated was the Value Proposition of
the brand. The information that was sought included:
• The ability to determine which ethnic group places the most / least emphasis on functional,
emotional and self-expressive benefits as sought by the brand / products. Only one test was
found to be statistically significant. The result of a one-way analysis of variance test of
‘geography’ (variable 1) and ‘functional benefits’ sought by the using the brand (variable 2).
The null and alternative hypotheses are as follows:
H0: µ south India = µ North India = µ west India = µ east India = µ central India
HI: At least one of the means of these populations differs
The p-value for this test is 0.01, indicating that there is enough statistical evidence to reject
the null hypothesis. After the Bonferroni adjustment and the post-hoc test, it was found that
there is a significant difference between the means of the various geographic groups.

Recommendations
Statistical analysis suggested that Brand attitude parameters such as Attractiveness, Desire,
and Superiority are in significant factors for brand TITAN. This may be because of lot
attractive and better models available (according to consumer perception) due stiff
competitive branding by other Watch makers such as TIMEX, SWATCH & CITIZEN etc.
TITAN needs to reposition the branding activities by projecting “Superior” and “Desire” as
new brand elements. Particularly Male community has to be targeted for these elements.
Statistical analysis also suggests that the consumer perception on TITAN BRAND products
is not significant when it comes to the product attribute “Exceptional”. This shows the brand
uniqueness is deteriorating for TITAN brand. TITAN must redesign branding strategy to
reposition their products as unique to sustain the brand equity.
Again as we have statistical evidence to prove that geography has played a significant role in
contributing to the awareness of the brand, we can identify the geographical areas that are weak in
awareness and as India is an emerging market the volumes that can be generated by mere increase
in brand awareness in certain targeted areas can bring sales volume to the business. Also by knowing
where exactly the brand awareness is high, the company can afford to cut down upon its marketing
expenses in those segments.
As gender affects the brand attitude, the brand can be made to cater to women by stressing on
attributes like likeability quality and desire. Also with the luxury of the jewellery subdivisions like
Tanishq, titan can leverage the jewellery division’s brand names and collaborate with the watch
division and come up with integrated high end watches that can cater to high end women customers
and thereby increase profitability.
With the advent of Chinese, Japanese and Korean products in the domestic watch markets, a lot of
duplicate watches have been manufactured and sold at low cost. This phenomenon of duplicate
watches might seriously affect the revenues of TITAN. So company can introduce holograms or RFIDs
etc. and preserve and prevent their loyal customers and potential customers from getting beguiled
by the watch vendors.
Titan can exploit the rich cultural diversities of the domestic market and can address the cultural
needs of its customers by integrating its range of products/offerings specific to cultures/festivals etc.
A number of new variants can be introduced keeping in mind the cultural needs of the customers
and its range can be channelized to create a cultural identity for the customers.
Section B Group 13 Page 22
23. Great Lakes Institute of Management
The company can have tie-ups with schools and colleges across the country and can increase its
market penetration by recommending the educational institutions to offer their products to the new
students. Also the company must try to understand the emerging consumer needs in the young
generation and try to be updated and also some disruptive technological innovation like having a
radio tuner card in a watch, health monitor incorporated in a watch, having a speedometer, digital
camera etc. to stay abreast with the competition and maintain and grow market share.
Titan can extend into new markets like wallets, handbags, clothes etc. before any of its competitors
in this product category would enter and thereby increase its brand equity and develop long term
relationships with its customers.
