The document analyzes trends in advertising expenditures by India's large corporate sector from 1975-1984. It finds that while total sales grew 154% over this period, advertising expenditures grew nearly 197%, indicating the growing importance of advertising. Consumer goods companies spent a higher proportion of sales on advertising than non-consumer goods companies. Foreign-controlled companies spent a higher proportion than Indian companies. The number of large companies spending over Rs. 1 crore on advertising annually grew from 4 in 1976 to 25 in 1984, led by Hindustan Lever, Reliance Industries, and Food Specialties.

Home burglaries. Business establishment robberies. Thefts. Murders. Kidnappings. Carnappings. These are just examples of the many examinations as to why CCTV Cameras Systems are so widely used today. If not because of these CCTV Cameras Monitoring Systems, majority of these crimes shouldn't have been solved. Not just that, these CCTV Security Cameras are not only capable of solving these crimes, they can also deter the crimes before they actually happen? Just how? Simple. Most of the criminals will have a second thought on proceeding with whatever evil plan they have plotted upon seeing signs of security systems in the area. That would be risky on their part. It would be easier to just look for an easier target, choosing those that are actually unprotected, than put their asses at risk.

Review the chapter 16 closing case Avon Call on Foreign Markets. .docxjoellemurphey
Review the chapter 16 closing case: Avon Call on Foreign Markets. Fully answer at least two of the six questions at the end of the case:
1.The chapter describes different marketing orientations. Discuss the applicability of each to Avon’s international operations.
2.Why is Avon so much more dependent on its foreign operations than on its home (U.S.) operations?
3.Discuss socioeconomic and demographic changes that could affect Avon.
4.How might a global recession, such as the one that began in 2008, impact Avon’s operations?
5.What are the major competitive advantages that Avon has? How easily might other companies duplicate these advantages?
6.Avon does not sell within the United States in retail establishments (with the exception of kiosks handled by some of its reps). What are the pros and cons of distributing that way?
Avon Call on Foreign Markets:
Avon, founded in 1886, is one of the world’s oldest and largest manufacturers and marketers of beauty and related products.92 Many are most familiar with Avon through its long-standing ad, “Ding dong, Avon calling,” but the company has recently switched to “Hello Tomorrow” to change its image and better reflect the company’s new marketing approaches.
However, Avon was 28 years old (an adult by human standards) before it ever ventured abroad, and then only to nearby Canada. Forty years later, a geriatric in human terms, it moved into its second foreign market, Venezuela. Map 16.1 shows how Avon now divides the world regionally and the portion of its business in each region.
Why Avon Went Global
So why has Avon put so much emphasis on international expansion in recent years? First, Avon forecast a slow growth potential in the U.S. market, because there is virtually no remaining untapped market for cosmetics, fragrances, and toiletries. To grow rapidly in the United States would mean taking sales from competitors, and the U.S. beauty market is very competitive. If you doubt this, just try weaving through a large U.S. department store without being accosted and sprayed on.
Avon has preferred to put emphasis on less-competitive markets, and its latest annual report even states that it expects U.S. “growth to be in line with that of the overall beauty market”—which means its domestic sales will depend primarily on the population growth of women in the cosmetics-using age group. Even if there were a considerable untapped U.S. market, less than 5 percent of the world’s population lives in the United States.
Second, you need to understand Avon’s distribution system to appreciate why Avon worried about U.S. sales in the latter part of the twentieth century. Avon has always depended on direct selling by contracted independent salespersons (almost always women working part time and known as “Avon ladies” or “Avon representatives”), who sell to households by demonstrating products and giving beauty advice. These reps place sales orders with Avon and deliver orders to the customers once they receive them ...

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

1. 8. TRENDS IN ADVERTISING BY THE
INDIAN CORPORATE SECTOR
Sudha Sachdeva
2. This contribution examines the trends in the advertising expenditure by India's
large corporate bodies to bring out the relative importance of advertising expenditures by
the different categories of companies. In order to undertake this exercise, a set of the
largest 409 manufacturing companies of the Indian private sector was identified. The set
includes only those public limited companies (i) having more than Rs. 1.00 crore risk capital
at the end of March, 1984. Out of the total of 428 public limited companies identified on
the basis of the above classification, nine companies engaged in electricity, eight in shipping
and two in road transport were excluded from the sample. After excluding these 19
1
companies, our coverage was restricted to 409 companies. The period covered under the
study is 1975-76 to 1983-84. The 409 companies identified for this study were grouped
under two categories, namely, the consumer goods producing companies, and the non-
consumer goods producing companies. This identification was carried out on the basis of
2
the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) use based classification of industries. The companies
which could not be strictly classified as consumer goods producers due to their diversified
range of production were classified as non-consumer goods producers. The non-consumer
good producers included the companies producing intermediate goods as well.
Based on the RBI classification, there were 164 consumer goods producing
companies and 245 non-consumer goods producing companies in our sample. The 409
companies were also classified on the basis of the extent of foreign holding in their equity
capital; companies having 10 per cent or more foreign equity were taken to be Foreign
3
Controlled Companies (FCCs). These included the FCCs both registered and not
registered under the Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act (MRTPA). The non-
FCCs, i.e. those companies that have an Indian ownership and control were further sub-
divided into two categories; those registered, and not registered under the MRTPA and
were represented as the Indian MRTP companies and the Indian non-MRTP companies.
For the purposes of data analysis three reference years, namely, 1975-76, 1979-80 and
1983-84 were selected. For convenience these years will be referred to as 1976, 1980 and
1984 respectively. These marked the beginning, the middle and the end of the period
covered under this study.
It was expected that since the 409 companies constitute the top crust of the Indian
The first draft of this paper was prepared by Miss. Sudha Sachdeva. This was revised at the
Institute for Studies in Industrial Development (ISID) for publication.

private sector, each one of them would have gone in for company advertisements and the
expenditure under this head would be available in their respective Annual Reports. It was,
however, found that many of the 409 companies did not report advertisement expenditure
as a separate item in their Annual Reports. The number of companies, reporting
advertisement expenditure as a separate entry, fell from 210 in 1976 to 200 in 1980 and to
4
only 193 in 1984 . The companies not reporting an advertisement expenditure include
companies like DCM, WIMCO, Mafatlal, Parke Davis, Geoffrey Manners, General Electric
Company of India and many others. Each one of them is a well known advertiser and yet,
under one or the other technical reason these companies have not reported any
5
advertisement expenditure.
Since out of the total of 409 companies, the number of non reporters is as high as
199 in 1976 and 216 in 1984, our analysis of the trends in advertising is confined only to
the companies reporting an advertisement expenditure. Table-1 provides the advertisement
expenditure and sales turnover of the companies reporting an advertisement expenditure for
the three reference years. The advertisement expenditure of these companies grew from
Rs.27.71 crores in 1976 to Rs.46.80 crores in 1980 and to Rs. 82.27 crores in 1984. The
sales turnover rose from Rs.4,375.61 crores in 1976 to Rs. 6,559.56 crores in 1980, and to
Rs. 11,101.87 crores in 1984. The sales turnover registered a growth of 154.77 per cent,
and the advertisement expenditure registered a growth of 196.90 per cent during the period
of 8 years. If one looks at the average annual rate of growth, the sales turnover registered a
growth rate of 19.35 per cent per annum, while the corresponding growth rate for the
advertisement expenditure was 24.60 per cent.
Considering the distribution of the total advertisement expenditure between the
consumer goods producing and the non-consumer goods producing companies, one finds
that when the total advertisement expenditure rose from Rs. 27.17 crores in 1976 to Rs.
82.27 crores in 1984, the expenditure by the consumer goods producing companies alone
rose from Rs.22.41 crores to Rs. 66.34 crores over the 1976-84 span.
Table - 1
4.
It is important to note that among the companies reporting an advertisement expenditure
there was no consistency. A company reporting in one year may not report any expenditure
on account of advertisement in another year.
5.
Under the Companies Act, 1956 it is obligatory to report expenditure on advertisement as a
separate item. However, if the value of advertisement expenditure was less than one per cent
of the sales turnover or Rs. 5,000 which ever is less, the company need not make a separate
entry in the Annual Report. We have reasons to believe that most of the 409 companies do
undertake advertisement expenditure. But, probably, the advertisement expenditure was less
than one per cent of the overall turnover. Alternatively, advertisement expenditure has not
been reported due to the process of 'window dressing'.

Advertisement Expenditure as a Proportion of Sales
The size of advertisement expenditure incurred by the different categories of
companies by itself may be important, but given the type of sample data, it appears
appropriate to examine the advertisement expenditure by relating it to the size of the
company's turnover. Table-2 shows the expenditure incurred by these companies as a
proportion of their sales turnover.
At the aggregate level, the companies reporting advertisement expenditure allocate
less than one percent of their sales turnover on advertising. However, with the steady rise
in the absolute amounts incurred as advertisement expenditure, the ratio of the
advertisement expenditure to the sales turnover has also risen from 0.64 in 1976 to 0.71 in
1980, and to 0.74 in 1984. This steady rise in the ratio is an indication of the growing
importance of the advertisement culture with the Indian corporate sector as a whole.
However, Table-2 also suggests that:
(i) The advertisement sales ratio rose more sharply for the consumer goods
producing companies than the non-consumer goods producing companies,
standing at the level of nearly 1.00 percent in 1976, 1.12 percent in 1980,
and 1.20 percent in 1984.
(ii) The advertisement to sales ratio was higher for the FCCs than for the
Indian companies and the highest for the consumer goods producing FCCs.
It rose from 0.84 percent to 0.89 percent for the FCCs, and from 0.44 per
cent to 0.59 per cent for the Indian companies over the 1976-84 span. The
corresponding rise for the consumer producing FCCs was from 1.48 per
cent to 1.54 per cent.

(iii) Despite a very large difference in the size of the advertisement expenditure
incurred by the Indian MRTP companies and the Indian non-MRTP
companies, the advertisement to sales ratio was not as significantly different
for these two categories of companies. In 1984, it stood at the level of 0.59
per cent for both. Again, while the proportion rose more sharply for the
consumer goods producing companies under both the categories of
companies, this rise was much sharper for the non-MRTP consumer goods
producing companies (i.e. those not registered under the MRTPA). The
ratio for the non-MRTP consumer goods producing companies rose from
0.65 per cent in 1976 to 1.08 in 1984. This may be due to the presence of
non-MRTP FCCs in this category.
Size of the Advertisement Expenditure:
After an analysis of the proportion of the sales turnover incurred as advertising
expenditure by the different categories of companies, it may be useful to study how the
individual companies are distributed on the basis of the actual size of the advertising
expenditure incurred by a company. Table 3 shows the frequency distribution of the
6. 5
companies reporting an advertising expenditure based on the size of the advertising
expenditure. It would be seen that the majority of the companies had an yearly advertising
budget of nearly half a crore of rupees. Their number, however, witnessed a decline from
198 in 1976 to 146 in 1984 (See Table-3). Even among the companies spending upto half a
crore of rupees annually, the majority spent only upto Rs. 5.0 lakhs annually. Their
numbers also declined from 116 in 1976 to 73 in 1984. Similar was the case of the
companies spending between Rs. 0.50 crores to Rs. 0.25 crores annually, whose number
fell from 62 in 1976 to 52 in both 1980 and 1984. For the companies spending between a
quarter of a crore and half a crore, the number stood at 20 in 1976 and 21 in 1984. In
contrast to the decline in the number of companies spending upto Rs. 0.50 crore on
advertising, one finds that the number of companies spending between Rs. 0.5 crore and
Rs. 1 crores rose from 8 in 1976 to 19 in 1980 and 22 in 1984. The number of companies
with more than Rs. 1 crore individually as advertisement expenditure rose from 4 in 1976
to 11 in 1980 and 25 in 1984. The four companies, spending more than Rs. 1 crore on
advertising in 1976 were Hindustan Lever Ltd. (Rs. 2.98 crores), Rallis India Ltd. (Rs. 1.29
crores), Union Carbide (India) Ltd. (Rs. 1.22 crores), and Peico Electronics and Electricals
Ltd. (Rs. 1.12 crores) and it is interesting to note that all four of them were FCCs. By
1980, the eleven companies spending more than Rs. 1.00 crores included seven FCCs and
four Indian companies. The seven FCCs were Hindustan Lever Ltd., Glaxo Laboratories
(I) Ltd., I.T.C. Ltd., Peico Electronics and Electricals Ltd., Dunlop (I) Ltd. and Richardson
Hindustan Ltd. The four Indian companies who joined these FCCs were Reliance
Industries Ltd., Grasim Industries Ltd., Jay Engineering Works Ltd., and Mohan Meakin
Ltd., Bombay Dyeing Manufacturing Co. Ltd. The advertisement expenditure of the top
advertisers seems to have jumped in a very significant manner. The highest advertisement
expenditure by a single company was nearly Rs. 3.00 crore in both 1976 and 1980 but it
rose sharply to more than Rs. 7.00 crores for 1984. In 1984, there were three companies
reporting more than Rs. 3.00 crores individually as advertisement expenditure. The
companies were Hindustan Lever Ltd; Reliance Industries Ltd, and Food Specialties Ltd.,
with the respective advertisement expenditures of Rs. 8.09 crores, Rs. 4.71 crores and Rs.
3.54 crores.
Coming to the distribution of the consumer goods producing companies on the
basis of the size of advertisement expenditure incurred by an individual company, Table-4
indicates that though the majority of the consumer goods producing companies spent upto
Rs. 1.00 crore on advertising, the proportion of those spending upto half a crore of rupees
has fallen from more than four fifths in 1976 to nearly 55 per cent in 1984. By 1984,
therefore, nearly 45 percent of the consumer goods producing companies spent more than
half a crore of rupees on advertising. Again, while the 1976-80 phase saw a sharp rise in
the number of consumer goods producing companies spending between half a crore and
one crore of rupees, their numbers rising from 8 to 17; the rise in the post 1980 was
sharper for those spending more than one crore; their numbers rising from 10 in 1980 to 23
in 1984.

All the 8 companies reported in Table 3, that spent between Rs. 0.50 crore and Rs.
1.00 crore in 1976 on advertising, 17 of the 19 companies spending between Rs. 0.50
crores and Rs. 1.00 crores in 1980 and 16 of the 22 companies in 1984 were consumer
goods producers. Similarly, all the 4 companies reported in Table 3 that spent more than
Rs. 1.00 crore on advertising in 1976, 10 out of the 11 companies spending more than Rs.
1.00 crores in 1980 and 23 out of the 25 companies in 1984 were consumer goods
producing companies. All the 3 companies spending more than Rs. 3 crores individually in
1984 were also those producing consumer goods (See Table 3 and 4.)
Having ascertained the fact that the consumer goods producers are the top
spenders, it is also important to look into the advertising expenditure of the heavy spendors
i.e. the non-consumer goods producing companies spending heavily on advertising. The
two non-consumer goods companies spending between Rs. 0.5 crore and 1 crore of rupees
on advertising in 1980 were Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd. (spending Rs. 0.53 crores) and Tata
Engineering and Locomotive Co. Ltd. (spending 0.51 crores). The non-consumer goods
producing companies spending between half a crore and one crore in 1984 were Greaves
Cotton and Co. Ltd., Advani Oerlikon Ltd., National Organic Chemical Industries Ltd.,
Nirlon Synthetic Fibres and Chemical Ltd., and MRF Ltd.,. Dunlop (I) Ltd. was the only
non-consumer goods company that spent more than Rs. 1.00 crore on advertising in 1980.
In 1984, it was joined by Modi Rubber Ltd.

It is important to take note of the extent of concentration in the advertisement
expenditure of the corporate sector. Table 5 indicates that the Top 50 advertisers of each
the 3 years alone accounted for more than 80 percent of the total advertisement
expenditure of the corporate sector, with the Top 20 accounting for nearly 55 percent of
the total advertisement expenditure. The share of the Top advertisers stood at 40 percent in
1976 and 36 percent in 1984.
The nature and distribution of the advertising expenditure reveals that the consumer
goods manufacturers and the FCCs were very dominant among the top 50 advertisers.
Table 6 gives a list of the Top 50 advertisers of the three reference years along with
their respective rankings and advertisement expenditures in the three years. The
advertisement expenditures are listed only for those years, in which the companies had a
ranking among the Top 50.
Since the Top 50 advertisers for all the 3 reference years are not the same, the first
fifty names in the list include the Top 50 advertisers of 1984. The others, that do not figure
among the Top 50 advertisers of 1984, but have been a part of the Top 50 advertisers for at
least one of the other two reference years have been given later, alphabetically, in order to
take a note of the changes in the composition and characteristics of the Top 50 advertisers
over the 1976-84 span.

It is interesting to note from the table that Hindustan Lever Ltd. has remained the
largest advertiser through the entire period of our study.
Most of the other important consumer goods producing FCCs besides the 80 that
are a part of the Top 50 advertisers have either retained their relative ranking in the three
years or have improved it. Peico Electronics and Electricals (formerly Philips India) for
instance, held the 4th position in 1976, suffered a marginal deterioration in its relative
position in 1980, but in 1984, it occupied back the position held in 1976. Union Carbide (I)
Ltd. also occupied a very prominent 3rd position in 1976. After occupying the 13th
position in 1980, it again rose to a prominent 6th position in 1984. Similar was the case of
VST Industries Ltd., Johnson & Johnson Ltd. and Hindustan Ciba-Geigy Ltd.
Among the FCCs which have shown a near quantum jump in their rankings, the
notable ones are: Food Specialities and the Bombay Dyeing & Manufacturing Company
Ltd. Food Specialities Ltd. was a non-reporter in 1976 and was at the 12th position in
1980. In 1984, it was next only to the Hindustan Lever and the Reliance Industries.
Bombay Dyeing and Manufacturing Company Ltd. also did not report any advertisement
expenditure in the year 1976, but occupied the 3rd position in 1980. Its position in 1984
was the 13th. Similar was the case of Dunlop (I) Ltd., and I.T.C Ltd. Dunlop (I) Ltd.
occupied the 18th position in 1976, rose sharply to the 9th position in 1980 and occupied
the same for 1984 as well. I.T.C. jumped from 31st position in 1976 to the 6th in 1980 and
to the 5th in 1984. Some other FCCs that have improved their rankings significantly are
Bata, Tube Investment, Crompton Greaves Ltd.

If one goes by the nature of the products promoted by the Top 50 one is struck by
the presence of 8 drug manufacturers in the list. These were Glaxo, Hoechst, Boots,
Richardson, Bayers, Searles, German Remedies, and Warner Hindustan. Companies like
Glaxo and Hoechst went up on the list and so did Boots. Richardson Hindustan and Bayer
India Ltd. could maintain their place among the Top 50 whereas the others fell out. The
12. 11
presence of the drug companies in the list of the Top 50 can be explained by the fact that
the drug companies also sell branded formulations that do not need prescriptions.
Companies like Glaxo need to advertise their baby foods and Glucose formulations
including Glucon-C and Glucon-D. Bayer (I) Ltd. advertises its Baygon spray and RHL
advertisers its Vicks-Vaporub, inhaler and Vicks action 500 tablets for severe cold.
Among the Indian companies figuring among the top 50 advertisers, the cases of
Reliance Industries Ltd., and Raymond Wollen Mills Ltd., from the textile group, and Blow
Plast Ltd., Herbertsons Ltd. and Voltas Ltd. from among the others, need a special
mention. Reliance Industries Ltd. rose from the 16th position in 1976 to the 2nd position in
both 1980 and 1984. Blow plast also rose from a non-reporter in 1976 to the 32nd
position in 1980, and from there it rose to the 16th position in 1984 due to its
diversification from moulded luggage to toys and moulded furniture. Voltas with the
launch of its volfarm ketchup coupled with aggressive marketing, could compete with the
well established old brand 'Kisaan'.
From the engineering sector, Bajaj Auto Ltd. and MRF Ltd. deserve a special
mention, both of which occupied the 36th and 30th positions respectively in 1984.
Our study on the concentration of the advertisement expenditure would remain
incomplete without a mention of the all time top advertiser, The Hindustan Lever Ltd.
HLL had an Advertising budget of Rs 2.98 crores in 1976, Rs. 2.91 crores in 1980 and Rs.
8.09 crores in 1984. This company alone accounted for a share of nearly 10 per cent in the
total advertisement budget of the selected companies in the corporate sector as a whole; 12
to 13 per cent in the advertisement budget of the consumer goods producing companies;
and 16 to 17 per cent in the expenditure by the FCCs (See Table 7).

To sum up, the trends in advertising by the large Indian corporate sector indicate that:
1. Advertising in India is primarily a phenomenon of the consumer goods producing
companies.
2. FCCs single handedly accounted for a dominant share in the total advertisement
expenditure. The Indian Big business, as represented by the Indian MRTP companies,
accounted for a sizeable share in the total advertisement budgets of the corporate
sector, though lower than that of FCCs.
3. Consumer goods producing FCCs accounted for more than four fifths of the
expenditure by the FCCs, and more than half the expenditure by the total reporting
companies. These companies emerged as the most important contributors to the
advertisement budgets of the corporate sector.
4. Among the FCCs, the ex-FERA companies and the foreign subsidiaries were the prime
contributors to the advertisement budget of the FCCs and majority of them were
consumer goods producing companies.
5. Trends similar to above were also reflected in the proportion of the sales turnover
spent on adver-tising, the exception to the rule being the Indian non-MRTP companies
producing consumer goods, that spent more than 1.00 percent of their sales turnover
on advertising in both 1980 and 1984.
6. Advertisement expenditure by the Indian Corporate Sector are highly concentrated.
Top 50 advertisers accounted for nearly 80 per cent of the total advertisement
budgets, whereas the Top 10 advertisers accounted for nearly 40 per cent of the total
advertisement budgets.
7. The Top 50 advertisers were primarily the consumer goods producers and the majority
of them were FCCs. Again, a majority of the FCCs constituting the Top 50 also
belonged to the categories of either the ex-FERA companies or the foreign
subsidiaries.
8. Hindustan Lever Ltd., the all time top advertiser accounted for nearly 10 per cent of
the expenditure by the corporate sector as a whole, as represented by the companies
under study.
These trends are observed when the sample does not include some of the important
consumer goods producing FCCs like Hindustan Cocoa Products Ltd., Britannia
Industries Ltd., Ponds (I) Ltd., Colgate Palmolive (I) Ltd., and many more, due to the non
availability of data. If these were included, the trends would have favoured even more
sharply, the dominance of the consumer goods producing FCCs in the advertisement
budgets of the Corporate Sector in India.
