Research on Marketing Strategy of Huawei Brand in KazakhstanDr. Amarjeet Singh
Marketing research is a complex multi-step process
that requires in-depth knowledge of the object of study, the
accuracy and timeliness of the results of which largely
determine the successful operation of the entire enterprise.
Most business failures (from loss of market share to
bankruptcy) are because important strategic decisions are
made either in conditions of lack of information or on the
basis of erroneous or outdated data. Marketing research will
provide the necessary information and reduce the risk when
making important decisions. Marketing strategy is the
collection of information about the activities of the enterprise,
in the main areas (product, price, customers, and promotion)
and the use of the results to choose the direction of business
development.
The goal is to identify possible ways to improve the
effectiveness of Huawei’s marketing strategy in Kazakhstan.
Theoretical issues of marketing are considered, namely the
concept of marketing, goals, objectives, functions and issues
of marketing, marketing macro and microenvironment,
marketing research.
This article will be of positive importance for the
study of foreign investment of Chinese enterprises.

TELECOM SECTOR IN INDIA
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW: The Indian telecommunications industry is one of the fastest
growing in the world. Government policies and regulatory framework implemented by
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) have provided a conducive environment for
service providers. This has made the sector more competitive, while enhancing the
accessibility of telecommunication services at affordable tariffs to the consumers. In the
last two decades, the Indian Telecom Sector and mobile telephony in particular has caught
the imagination of India by revolutionizing the way we communicate, share information;
and through its staggering growth helped millions stay connected. This growth, however,
has and continues to be at the cost of the Climate, powered by an unsustainable and
inefficient model of energy generation and usage. Simultaneously, this growth has also
come at significant and growing loss to the state exchequer, raising fundamental questions
on the future business and operation model of the Telecom sector.
Telecommunication services are globally recognised as one of the driving forces
for overall economic development in a nation. They are also one of the prime support
services needed for rapid growth and modernisation of various sectors of the economy. The
Government of India recognises this fact and hence, has taken several major initiatives to
provide a business friendly environment for companies in this sector.
Driven by 3G and 4G services, it is expected that there will be huge machine-
to-machine (M2M) growth in India in 2016-17, according to UST Global. There is also a
lot of scope for growth of M2M services in the government's ambitious US$ 1.1 billion
Smart City program The rapid strides in the telecom sector have been facilitated by liberal
policies of the Government of India that provide easy market access for telecom
equipment and a fair regulatory framework for offering telecom services at affordable
prices. According to a study byGSMA, it has been expected that smart phones will account
for two out of every three mobile connections globally by 2020 and India is all set to
become the fourth largest smart phone market.
Current Scenario
In Indian telecom sector the number of telephone subscribers in India increased from
957.61 million at the end of September, 2014 to 962.63 million at the end of October,
2014, thereby showing a monthly growth rate of 0.52%. The urban subscription increased
from 569.56 million at the end of September, 2014 to 570.58 million at the end of
October, 2014 and the rural subscription increased from 388.05 million to 392.05 million
during the same period. The monthly growth rates of urban and rural subscription were
0.18% and 1.03% respectively.

The overall tele-density in india increased from 76.75 at the end of September,2014 . the
urban Tele-dencity increased from 148.07 to 148.10 and Rural Tele-density increased from

Vodafone India revenue up 12.6 percent in financial year 2015
Vodafone India reported a 12.6 percent jump in its total revenue at Rs 42,526 crore for the
fiscal ended March 31, driven by strong customer additions and growth in data revenues.
The company had reported a total revenue of Rs37,777 crore in the last financial
year. Vodafone continues to be net profit positive for second consecutive year, though it
refused to share the amount. “It’s a second consecutive year net profit for the company. It’s a
good year but I am not commenting on the growth rate,” Vodafone India Chief Financial
Officer Thomas Reisten told reporters here.
The revenue from the services rose by same 12.6 percent to Rs 42,352 crore for the reported
fiscal as compared to Rs 37,606 crore last year. For the fourth quarter of FY15, the company
reported a service revenue of Rs 10,887 crore as compared to Rs 9,713 crore in the
corresponding period last fiscal. Vodafone said the service revenues in Q4 were impacted by
changes in inter-connect usage charges (IUC) prescribed by regulator Trai, effective March 1,
which led to a marginal drop.
EBITDA or operating profit of the UK-based company’s arm stood at Rs 12,605 crore for
2014-15, as compared to Rs 10,847 crore in the previous fiscal. “During the year, we made
significant capex investments to expand our network…All our focus areas data, Vodafone
Business Services and M-Pesa performed well and maintain a high growth trajectory,”
Vodafone India Managing Director and CEO Sunil Sood said.
17. Page 17
He said the company invested Rs 8,598 crore in FY15 mainly in new sites roll-out in order to
deliver superior customer experience and growth in key focus areas. The data (browsing)
revenue for the reported fiscal stood at Rs 5,690 crore, a growth of 65.5 percent year-on-
year. Data now contributes 15 percent of service revenues whereas Vodafone Business
Services contribute 13 percent of service revenues. Last year, data contributed 10 percent of
service revenues.
Vodafone has a customer base of around 184 million, with nearly 97.9 million in rural areas
and 19.4 million 3G customers. The average revenue per user (ARPU) for Q4 FY15 stood at
Rs 200. Data ARPU stood at Rs 141 in Q4 FY15 versus Rs 120 in Q4 FY14. The company’s
money payment and transfer service M-Pesa base increased to 3 million registered customers,
doing over 100K transactions/day. Vodafone India now is the third largest contributor to
group service revenue. A fresh equity infusion of Rs 6,000 crore was made to vodafone India
during the fiscal. The net debt for the company stands at Rs 47,807 crore as of March this
year.
Sood said the company will be launching 4G services in select circles in the later half of the
year and currently trials are going on for 4G in the circles. Asked about increase in tariffs,
Sood said it depends on the market. “We are open to increase any tariffs as long as the market
can take them and it makes business sense,” he added.
On the question of net neutrality, Sood said the company supports net neutrality and net
equality. “The rules of the game can be decided by the government, we are open to
suggestions, we are open to debate and let a knowledgeable panel decides…all we want to
say is there should not be differences, there can’t be different rules for the same service,” he
said. On zero rating programmes, he said they are one form of sponsored programmes and
there can be many forms. ”If you see the net, most of it is sponsored, nothing is free in this
world,” he added.
The MD and CEO of country’s second largest mobile operator said the telcos need to
penetrate data and has to adopt many ways to do that. “We need to penetrate data…data is not
as easy as voice…we have to give freebies to encourage people to use,” he added. On the
plans to come out with an IPO, Sood said its decided by shareholders and they evaluate all
such decisions. On Narendra Modi’s one year in office, Sood said the Prime Minister’s vision
is perfect. He added Modi has undertaken the Digital India programme and he has understood
that IT or Internet industry is the future.

LITERATURE REVIEW
A literature review is the effective evaluation of selected documents on a research topic. A
review may form an essential part of the research process or may constitute a research project
in itself. In the context of a research paper or thesis the literature review is a critical synthesis
of previous research.
The references for the literature review used for the problem in hand are as follows: Seth et al
(2008) analyzed that there is relative importance of service quality attributes and showed that
responsiveness is the most importance dimension followed by reliability, customer perceived
network quality, assurance, convenience, empathy and tangibles. Liu (2002) found that the
choice of a cellular phone is characterized by two attitudes: attitude towards the mobile phone
brand on one hand and attitude towards the network on the other. Samuel (2002) observed
that most of the respondents consider size, quality, price, instrument servicing are an
important factors for selecting the handset while majority of the respondents are satisfied
over the payment system, quality of services, coverage area and the process of attending the
complaints regarding their mobile service provider.

FINDINGS
Most of the retailers are unaware about Vodafone services like DSKH , FCC ,
MPESA .
People perception about Vodafone e-bonus card , 121 offers , data card is poor service
facility in areas like Ratua , Manikchok , Kaliachok .
Less of advertisement in educational fields like school , college , university , medicine
, science and technology where there is huge scope of promoting the brand with their
services.
Consumers are not satisfied with the network data speed and taktime offers in areas
like Manikchok , Ratua .
Retailers are not satisfied because of activation of delay in Kalichok semi rural and
rural areas.
44. Page 44
SWOT ANALYSIS
Communication and Visibility
Strength
Vodafone has fully IP enabled infrastructure thus implying application convergence ,
service convergence , and network convergence . Vodafone has able to maintain a
strong distribution channel . It is world’s second largest telecom company .2g data
speed is 236kbps and 3g data speed is 7.5 mbps . its annual revenue is good , which
helps in investing in asstes for long term growth .
Weakness
Vodafone 3g service is not available in all circle specially in semi-rural and rural
areas of Malda CB zone . There is no better promotion of the services like DSKH
,MNP,MPESA etc. Retailers as well as the consumers were not aware of the services
of Vodafone . Vodafone deposited more than 10,000 cr for 3g licence but till now it is
not recovered. There is no unlimited download plan for the prepaid customer.
Opportunities
A strong economy and a growing market . Indian Telecom industry is the fastest
growing industry in the world. So there is huge opportunity for Vodafone to grow .
Partnership with a good advertising company could help for beeter promotion. Now a
day’s most of the rural people are using phone so there is high chance in rural
penetration for data and voice both. In the rural belt of Mada like ratua , manikchok ,
khaliachok , gangarampur the 2g speed is very slow and the customer base for
Vodafone is also very high so its another opportunity to grow up . Another strategy
can be applied for more customer satisfaction is that providing low price schme and
good talktime offers for price sensitive customers.
Threats
In Indian market there are large number of players in telecom industry , each and
every offering more and more attractive schmes and offers for gaining more
customers so Vodafone should also introduce good offers in taltime and data both and
specially for rural penetration .
45. Page 45
MARKETING MIX OF VODAFONE
A long term marketing strategy is underpinned by careful planning and a
successful marketing mix. The marketing mix is a specific combination of 4 strategies
designed to satisfy customers, it is represented by 4p’s.
Product – features and benefits of a good or service
Price- the cost of a good or service
Place- where the good and service can be bought
Promotion- the strategies by which customers are made aware of a good or service.
1. Product
A product with many different features provides customers with oppurtunities to
communicate ,play games, send and receive pictures, receive information about travel
and sporting events, obtain billing information , send and receive money , billings can
be paid , send and receive MMS etc.
2. Price
Vodafone wants to make its service accessible to as many people as possible: from the
young ,through apprentices and high powered business executives , to the more
mature users.
It offers various pricing structures to suit different customer groups.
Monthly price plans are available as well as prepay options . phone users can top up
their phone on line.
Vodafone UK gives NECTAR reward points for every £ 1 spent on calls , text
messages , picture messages and ring tones
3. Place
Vodafone UK operates over 300 of its own stores
It also cells through independent retailers e.g, Carphone Warehouse
Customers are able to see and handle producuts they are considering buying
People are one hand to ensure customer needs are matched with the right product and
to explain the different options available.
4. Promotion
Advertising on TV , on bill boards , in magazines , F1 racing sponcership ,and in
other media outlets reaches large audiences and spreads the brand image and the
message very effectively . This is known as above the line promotion.
46. Page 46

CONCLUSION
From the entire studies of my 1 months 15 days Summer Internship Program on “ MARKET
INSIGHT OF VODAFONE IN MALDA CB ZONE “ I am concluding that.
Though Vodafone has a widest Telecom sector in whole over the world it should have a
deepest product line in communication and visibility. But as per my survey , questionnaires to
consumers as well as many retailers , have different buyer decision and valid perception
about using different operators of telecom , because people were perceiving that Vodafone is
not a user friendly operator in terms of tariff , bonus card , 121 offers etc but still people are
using this for the strong network connectivity in Vodafone. Hence Vodafone should aim to
providing different aggressive promotional strategies like good talktime offers , 121 offers ,
advertisements , competitive data card price , cost effective tariff plans and more user
friendly service in rural belt as well as semi rural belt of Malda to ensure maximum consumer
satisfaction. Then it will be able to exist itself in front of its competitors in the Market.
49. Page 49
RECOMENDATION
AS PER CONSUMERS
Vodafone needs to increase the number of outlets so that it can cover more areas and
provide maximum consumer satisfaction specially under the rural belt of malda like
kaliachok, ratua etc.
Vodafone needs to increase number of campaigning activities specially in rural areas
with new schemes and attractive offers.
Vodafone needs to improve its 2g service network in Ratua market.
Vodafone can use sms service or e-mail for awareness of different schemes and offers
instead of push messages.
Vodafone needs to provide more 121 offers and benefits according to the requirement
and usage of their prospective customer.
Promotional activities in college campus to create awareness regarding the various
services and products
To develop 2g and 3g offers and value schemes.
As per retailers
Vodafone need to increase the rate of commission received by the retailers and also
reduce the delay of payments.
The frequency visit of Distribuer sales executive to each and every retailer should be
regular and they have a clear understanding about Vodafone services and product.
Visibility required ( poster, banner, hoading )specially in ganagarampur, kaliachok,
buniadpur.
Data speed should match with our competitors specialy in the areas like Ratua and
Manikchok market.
