EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

As the title of the project suggests, this project is all about the study of the “Traders &

Customers Satisfaction towards Bajaj Electricals Limited in Kolkata City”. Trader’s satisfaction

is one of the most important factors for a manufacturing company as they distribute the products

to the customers from the company and they have direct contact with the customers.

As there is tough competition in the market of home appliance it is very much important for

Bajaj Electricals to have satisfied trade partners and Customers. A satisfied customer is an asset

for the company who will make repeat purchase and bring new customers.

As this is all about the detail study of Home Appliances product in KAOLKATA market, a lot

of survey is conducted, by which all the primary information about the level of satisfaction of

dealer and customer were collected. In this process several distributors, dealers, customers were

surveyed. All the required secondary information is gathered from the company as well as from

the internet, books and journals. In order to find out the Brand & their price preference, service

level, product quality, margin, promotional offer, after sale service they want from the company,

a questionnaire has been prepared. The questionnaire for the existing dealers and customers will

help to interpret the satisfaction level of Traders & Customers. At last by analyzing the response

of the questionnaire by different charts and we can draw a conclusion about the Traders and

Customers Satisfaction towards Bajaj Electricals.

CHAPTER – 1

INTRODUCTION:

Marketing is essentially about marshalling the resources of an organization so that they

meet the changing needs of customers on whom the organization depends. As a verb, marketing

is all about how an organization addresses its markets.

Marketing is “The management process which identifies anticipates and supplies

customer requirements efficiently and profitably”.

“Marketing is a total system of interesting business activities defined to Plan, piece,

promote and distribution want satisfying products & services to present and potential

consumers” - William. J.

Stantion

“Marketing is the performance of business activities that direct the follow of goods and

services from the producer to the consumer or user”

- American Marketing Association

A social and managerial process, by which individuals and groups obtain what they need

and want, through creating and exchanging product and value with others.

Customer satisfaction begins with a difficult faith; it starts with a commitment to deliver the

result for each customer which is also a concern of the dealers. Hence for a manufacturing

company, in order to satisfy its customers, it is highly important to satisfy its dealers, as they are

the direct customers to them. Establishing satisfaction as the ultimate goal is like the other

ultimate goals of business pursuit of higher profits or shareholders wealth. Perfect dealer service

or satisfaction is one that meets the combined need satisfaction is a systemized service that

involves the entire organization. But many organizations have yet to develop this kind of

awareness of dealer satisfaction strategy.

Dealer Satisfaction begins with the following specific assumptions about company’s

relationship with the customers.

1. The dealer service activities focus mainly on existing dealers.

2. Some dealers are more important than others

3. They are the assets.

4. The dealer is always specific.

The dealer needs and value should influence every aspect of the organization strategy,

employee safety and performance, product and organization strategy, employee safety and

performance, product and service development, sales and marketing programs, operational

procedures and information and measurement system.

Understanding the dealer is critical to the success of any customer focus initiative, the

first step in understanding the dealers is to listen to them. A company needs to hear what its

dealers are saying about its people, product service and vision. Their information helps to

develop meaningful product and service.

Organizations need to listen to their dealer satisfied, dissatisfied neutral and prospective.

As one company executive said, “talking to a satisfied customer is talking to myself”.

In the past, dealer satisfaction and service was the responsibility of a separate

organization that supported the dealer primarily after the sale. Today, service is also likely to be

interested with the every product accompany offers.

High dealer satisfaction comes from providing effective services. But giving that service

is a continuous activity. It means being efficient, reliable, courteous, curing and professional

every time.

NEED OF THE STUDY

As there are a large number of dealers dealing with Bajaj Home Appliances Products,

the study was conducted to know the dealers satisfaction towards Bajaj Electricals.

This in turn enables the company to enhance its stringent competitiveness in the Home

Appliances market.

Also this study was conducted to know the satisfaction level of the customers who are

using Bajaj Home Appliances Products as customer satisfaction provides a leading

indicator of consumer purchase intentions and loyalty. Also it helps to gain new

customer and retention of existing customer.

OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

Objectives are the end towards which activity aimed; the end result to be achieved. No

enterprise or an organization can accomplish its task until it has some defined objective.

Likewise no research work can carried out until and unless it has some objective. The objective

of my research study is based on the criteria which are follows:-

 To find out dealers satisfaction level with Bajaj Electricals Limited.

 To find out factors influencing dealers to deal with Bajaj Home Appliances Products.

 To identify dealer’s suggestions with respect to Bajaj Electricals Limited.

 To know the satisfaction level of customers towards Bajaj Home Appliances Products.

 To know the customers preference on which basis they choose a brand.

 To know importance of after sales service for satisfaction of customers.

 To find out if there is any need of changing products attributes.

 To identify customer’s suggestions with respect to Bajaj Home Appliances Products.

1. This project study is carried out for academic purpose and for partial fulfillment of MBA

degree.

2. Scope of my study is limited to the geographical area of Kolkata.

3. The study is concerned with the service quality of Bajaj for satisfaction of its dealers and

customers.

4. All findings and recommendations are based on the analysis of dealers & customers opinion.

changes in product and their service.

LIMITATIONS

The project suffers from the following limitations due to the inherent and restrictive nature of

the study undertaken:

1. Project duration is very short to carry out such a project work.

2. The study was limited to the geographical area of Kolkata.

3. The sample size is limited.

4. Getting accurate information from the respondents due to their inherent problems. They may

be partial or refuse to co-operate.

COMPANY PROFILE

INTRODUCTION

The bajaj group of India owes immense gratitude to their founding father whose vision

and dedication over the years has greatly helped to build a business house that can set

standard in Indian industry.

Jamnalal Bajaj was the founding father of the Bajaj Group. The adopted 'fifth' son of Mahatma

Gandhi, and the 'merchant prince' who held the wealth he created in trust for the people of

his country, Trust - a simple word that contains a whole philosophy handed down by

Jamnalal Bajaj to his successors. He valued honesty over profit.

kamalnayan Bajaj, elder son of Jamnalal Bajaj, followed footsteps of his illustrious father and

consolidated the Bajaj foundation. With characteristic foresight and pragmatic; vision, he

launched a steady diversification programme which gave the current name "Bajaj" both its

shape and size. His unique management style created a work culture that matched well with the

national spirit he had inherited.

Ramkrishna Bajaj took over the reins of the "Bajaj group" in 1972 after Kamalnayan Bajaj and

steered the Group from strength to strength for over 22 years. He had also actively participated in

the freedom struggle of the country. In post independent India, he had led the youth movement.

Shekhar Bajaj, Chairman & Managing Director of Bajaj Electricals Ltd., started his career with

Bajaj Sevashrarn after which he worked at Bajaj International, the groups export company. Mr.

Shekhar Bajaj joined Bajaj Electricals in 1980, became the Managing Director in 1987 and took

over as the Chairman and Managing Director in 1994. .

People don't just bring their brains to work: they also bring their hearts and soul. They want to

feel passionate about what they are doing and be a part of whatever is great. We at Bajaj

Electricals Limited, recognize this truism and seek out and strike a dialogue straight with the

hearts and souls) of our employees. Here is a quote from Mr. Shekhar Bajaj, our Chairman and

Managing Director -

"Every individual has the potential to perform if he or she gets proper motivation, the right

opportunity and the freedom to work. In the long run success is achieved when ordinary

people perform extraordinarily. It is important to keep an open mind rather than drawing

preconceived impressions about people. More often that not, such impressions will be

proven wrong."

Faster, Higher, Stronger - is our maxim, our way of individual and organizational performance.

This is how we managed a successful business turnaround in Bajaj Electricals Ltd - with and

through each one of our employees. And not only our excellent brand of products, our people

provide an excellent competitive advantage to us.

We are looking at collaboration for our luminaries business through a licensing agreement as there

is a need for technologically superior products which are state-of-the art. We are in advanced

discussions. I cannot disclose anything further at this stage," Bajaj Electricals chief operating

officer and president R Ramakrishnan said.

The luminaire business is one of the five special business units (SBUs) of the company. The

others are appliances, pans, lighting and the engineering business. Bajaj Electrical luminaires find

applications in the engineering, power, steel, cement, fertilizer, chemical and petrochemical

sectors.

Earlier, Bajaj Electricals had entered into a licensing agreement with Morphy Richards of the

UK for its irons. This tie-up also entails a technology transfer.

The company is targeting revenues of Rs 1,500 crore by the year 2009-10.

"The biggest contributor to this will be the engineering business. Till recently, we

were only into the manufacture of power transmission towers. Now, we will be installing

them too," Mr Ramakrishnan added. The engineering and projects business is also the fastest

growing business.

This business has an order book of over Rs 150 crore and has grown by over 85%, senior

company executives said. The company clocked net sales of Rs 505.26 crore in the last fiscal and

is expected to add around 25% to its top line this fiscal, he said. The company which had been

facing tough times a few years back has bounced back after the implementation of a

restructuring exercise.

This entailed the reorganization in to five SBUs, brand building, and a growth of revenues.

Last year, the company also came out with a rights issue at premium of Rs 15 per share. Further,
the company also of out of the die-casting business by giving a VRS at the plant, selling the
development rights of the land and entering into a non-compete clause with a competitor.

Revamp helps Bajaj Electricals Turn Around

Hindu Business line

V. K. Varadarajan

Bangalore Jan 30, 2005: BAJAJ Electricals has restructured its entire operations, including

shutting down some of its loss-making ventures, as part of its plans to turnaround the

company.

Bajaj Electricals' President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr R. Ramakrishnan, told Business

Line that the restructuring has helped the company to turnaround and now it expects to double

its revenues to about Rs 1,000 crore within three years. The company hopes to end the current

fiscal with a revenue of around Rs 730 crore, an increase of 20 per cent over fiscal 2008-09.

Mr Ramakrishnan said it had roped in Accenture Consulting to chart out a turnaround for

the company. As per the new plan, Bajaj Electricals dropped its matrix structure for its

organisation in favour of separate business units for each of its businesses.

It now has five separate business units - engineering and projects, luminaire, appliances, fans

and lighting. "Each of these units compete as separate businesses with its, competitors," Mr

Ramakrishnan said. The company also got rid of unviable businesses.

For example, it shut down its diecast operations and offered VRS to 180 people. It also sold

surplus land of the unit.

He said the company also went in for financial restructuring by swapping high cost funds with

low cost long-term debt. The banks too have lowered interest cost and increased the

moratorium for another two years.

The company plans to invest about Rs 20 crore, spread over the next fiscal, to double the

existing capacity in its engineering unit to execute its Rs 160 crore worth of fresh order from

Powergrid Corporation for erection and commissioning of power transmission tower.

Mr Ramakrishnan said the engineering unit, which registered a growth of 88 per cent over the

last fiscal, is expected to outpace other business units. The company expects about 25 per cent of

its revenues to come from its engineering business, he said.

Mr Ramakrishnan said with the Power Grid according thrill the status of approved EPC

contractors, it expects bigger orders from the power company. He pointed out that with an

estimated investment proposal of Rs 75,000 crore by Powergrid Corporation, there was a

huge opportunity for the company.

Mr.Ramakrishnan said the company had entered into a licensing arrangement with Trilux, a

leading European luminaries brand and a market leader in lighting in Germany. The

tie-up, though is aimed to market the products to premium segments in the country, could

lead to manufacturing Trilux products in the long term.

Bajaj's own products to provide full spectrum of lighting products, he said. Similarly, Bajaj's

tie-up with UK's leading small appliances brand Morphy Richards had helped it to position

itself in the premium end of the market.

Mr Ramakrishnan said Bajaj Electricals has a market share of between 15 per cent and 20 per

cent in the appliances segment, 20 per cent in luminaries and 10 per cent in lighting.

The company has also been able to take on the unorganized sector by offering competitive

pricing of its products in the lower end. "Our China sourcing strategy has helped us to buy

from the world's best without compromising on the quality of the products,"
