    PREFACE

    Towards the beginning of the new era, people often feel a growing uneasiness about the future

    and unsafe for the life. Todays markets are changing at incredible pace. After globalization

    and changes in technology, we are witnessing a power shift from manufacturing to giant

    customers, who are now price and value sensitive and set a trend for a market.

    To get through knowledge of market and to achieve positive & concrete results along with

    practical concept, I undergone project research programmed, which from a part of my

    curriculum and completed the research by VIDEOCON MOBILES: STUDY OF THE

    MARKET SHARE, BRAND POSITIONING, COMBINATION OF 4 PS & DUAL SIM

    HANDSET MARKET IN MAINPURI & ETAH , These two districts exist in U.P. (India).

    After this study, specific ways for the success of Mobile players in India could be achieved

    which would largely depend on their ability to take global competition in terms of the cost and

    research capability.

    This research gave me ample of opportunity to view overall working and evaluation of

    customers buying attitudes with special reference to Mainpuri & Etah Market.

    COMPANY PROFILE OF VIDEOCON

    Videocon is an industrial conglomerate with interests based all over India. The Company has

    manufacturing sites in India as well as China, Poland, Italy and Mexico. The company has an annual

    turnover of US$4.1 billion which makes it one of the largest consumer electronics companies in India.

    Videocon has expanded its operation globally since 1998 especially in the Middle East.

    Following its expertise in the consumer electronics, the company has decided to launch its new line

    of Mobile phones in India. Videocons venture into the fiercely competitive market with global players

    like Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and other leading brands will bring some Indian flavor to the

    market. So far no Indian brand of cell phone has tasted a phenomenal success in the cell phone

    industry. The number of mobile users around the world is rising dramatically, especially in fast

    growing markets like India. Success in high-growth markets is not only good news for Videocon

    business, but for people in our country who are discovering the benefits of mobile communications in

    their lives and even their livelihoods. Videocon wishes to play a role in boosting growth by working

    on a number of fronts with operator customers, local authorities and through the UNICT Taskforce to

    increase the availability, affordability, and even usability, of mobile communications in the country.

    Mobile phone industry is an industry with seamless boundaries which is bringing completely new

    mobile devices, services and ways of using mobile devices both socially and professionally. This is

    already clear from the phenomenal success of camera phones as well as the growing use of smart

    phones, not just for making calls, but also for computer-like applications such as email, web browsing

    and music downloading. With this increasing demand for new generation devices and services and

    more and more users in growth markets gaining access to mobile communications, we now expect the

    global number of mobile subscriptions to reach three billion by 2010.

    While some markets have moved closer to maturity, other high-growth markets have also arrived;

    customer dynamics is shifted as new players arrive and others move towards consolidation;

    competition has intensified and began changing face; even the underlying technologies of the business

    remain in flux, as we move from traditional cellular networks to 3G, IP, and alternative access

    technologies.

    Considering the current market situation in India where the GSM platform dominates over the

    CDMA platform the Videocon mobiles would be based on the GSM technology. The company would

    try to establish itself in the mid range segment that is in between INR 2000 INR 10,000. Videocon

    mobiles would also like to tap some upper middle class segments by introducing some high end PDA

    phones for business people that are more affordable than the nearest competitor. The main emphasis

    will be on youth and general public.

    Every business organization that comes into contact with the customer develops a perception in the

    mind of the customer. Today, in this competitive world every organization needs to know the

    perception in the mind of the customers. In order to gain mind share or heart share of customers along

    with the market share is the main lookout for the organizations. Especially in mobile &

    telecommunication sector, where the products are more or less same, the only way to leave positive

    impact on customers mind and to gain competitive advantage is providing best possible services to the

    customers.

    Page | 18

  • 8/2/2019 Arjit Final

    19/100

    Connecting is about helping people to feel close to what matters. Wherever, whenever, Videocon

    believes in communicating, sharing, and in the awesome potential in connecting and focusing on

    people, and use technology to help people feel close to what matters, then growth will follow. In a

    world where everyone can be connected, Videocon will take a very human approach to technology.

    Videocon is committed to create a better quality of life for the people and furthering the interests of

    the society. The companys mission is a reflection of continuity and change. Videocon mobiles is

    poised to delight and deliver beyond expectation through ingenious strategy, improved technology and

    innovative and user friendly mobile phones attracting the masses with an Indian feel. The company is

    committed to deliver quality handsets suiting the Indian conditions to suit the customers. Videocon

    mobiles would be put on java platform with customized user interface with an aesthetic sense.

    MARKETING OBJECTIVE

    With the outstanding market potential the objectives on volume and share are nearly limitless for

    the coming years. Since there is such a huge market that needs the supply of phones as long as the

    company has a good brand image the company can expect that all of its stock should be purchased

    however setting an initial goal of 70 thousand units is not unreasonable and not to cost problematic.

    This will also establish a decent market share. However the market share of individual phones is

    ever changing as Videocon mobiles is competing with a company which almost dominates the market

    share (Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung) and image.

    For sales the marketing objective of the company will be to establish Videocon mobile phones in

    the market alongside its competitors such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, and Samsung etc. The primary

    stress of the company would be upon the mid-range segment since its the most active market segment.

    Page | 19

  • 8/2/2019 Arjit Final

    20/100

    Videocon mobile will provide cheaper multimedia phones in this segment with added features at the

    same time maintaining the quality and standards to distinguish it from the other mid-range competitors

    (product differentiation). Consumer targets are high school, college and graduate students who need

    one portable multifunction device.

    Videocon mobiles is also interested in the PDA (business class) phones with touch-screen and

    windows mobile OS. The consumer targets would be the middle-upper income professional to

    coordinate their busy schedules and communicate with colleagues, friends and family.

    As India is set to become a 3G nation by the next year, Videocon mobile would like to exploit this

    technology by manufacturing 3G enabled handsets both in the mid-range and its high end line up of

    cell phones. One of the key business targets for the company would be to partner with large cell phone

    service providers and provide handsets cheaper than their original price in a combo plan on a contract

    basis (this is hugely popular in the US).

    CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

    CURRENT POSITIONING OF VIDEOCON MOBILE THROUGH SWOT

    ANALYSIS

    STRENGTHS

    Videocon has largest network of distribution and selling as compared to other mobile phone

    company in the world. It is backed with the high quality and professional team in the HRD Dept. The

    financial aspect is very strong in case of Videocon as it has much more profitable business. The

    product being user friendly and have all the accessories one want that is why is in great demand by

    Indian people. Wide range of products for all class. The re-sell value of Videocon phones are high

    compared to other companys product.

    Videocons Product are backed with a high quality professional team and could have a huge

    advantage following its long expertise in R&D in different countries. Videocon has also a wide range

    of products and high product quality with global warrantee.

    WEAKNESS

    Videocon has many strengths and some weakness. Some of the weakness includes the price of the

    product offered by the company. Some of the products are not user friendly. Not concern about the

    lower class f the society people. Not targeting promotion toward them. The price of the product is the

    main issue. The service centers in India are very few and scare. So after sales service is not good.

    Videocon has also incurred high chain costs which need to be reduced.

    Page | 26

  • 8/2/2019 Arjit Final

    27/100

    OPPORTUNITIES

    Videocon has ample of opportunity to expand its business. With the wide range in products,

    features and different price range for different people, it has an advantage over the competitors around.

    With the opportunity like Telecom penetration in India being at the peak time, Videocon has an

    opportunity to increase its sales as well as the market share. As the standard of living in India has

    increased the purchasing power of the people as increased as well, so Videocon has to target right

    customer at right time to gain the most out of the situation.

    Need to Increase their presence in the CDMA market, which they are just entering, as well as 3G

    and Edge.

    New growth markets where cell phone adoption still has room to go, including India and other

    countries.

    Joint venture in technology.

    THREATS

    Videocon has many threats to tackle to maintain its position as market leader. The threats like

    emerging of other mobile companies in the market. The companies like Nokia, Samsung, Micromax,

    Spice, Fly etc. These companies have come to the stand of tough competition with Videocon in the

    field of Mobile Phones. Threats can be like providing cheap phones, new features, new style and type,

    good after sales service etc. So, Videocon has to keep in mind the growing competition around.

    Videocon has to make strategies to tackle problems in the present and the near future. The growing

    demand of WLL network can cause drop in sales for Videocon, as it provides many less CDMA

    phones to the customer.

    MARKETING MIX OF VIDEOCON MOBILE

    PRODUCT-

    Historically, the thinking was: a good product will sell itself. However there are no bad products

    anymore in today's highly competitive markets. Plus there are many laws giving customers the right to

    send back products that he perceives as bad.

    Therefore the question on product has become: does the organization create what its intended

    customers want? Define the characteristics of your product or service that meets the needs of your

    customers. Upon careful observation Videocon has observed that Indian folks are loving the concept of

    Dual sim phones as most of the people have now more than one sim to manage their professional and

    personal lives. Thus Videocon will insist on incorporating the dual sim feature in most of their phones.

    The plan is to launch the mobile phones in the market in a phased manner i.e. launching first in

    some selected states and then expanding the sales to all over India to reduce the chances of failure. For

    this Videocon will first launch its product at Diwali time in Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh which will

    be followed by its launch in several other states after gaining some popularity. Videocon mobiles

    would be made available at different national stores and retail outlets coupled with attractive offering.

    Whats more? Videocons proprietary Planet-M outlets come as a blessing disguise for Videocons

    Apart from Retail outlets Videocons would also aim to have good relationship with the

    distributors and small scale dealers. As dealers are the one where lower middle class people prefer to

    go to have a steal-deal.

    Videocon mobiles need to be advertised in order to reach masses. The companys advertising

    campaign will consist of TV advertisement generating curiosity among the target customers and in

    news papers as well (print media).

    Internet is also a useful resource for advertising targeted towards the youngsters and teens.

    Videocon would ensure that their cell phones are easily available to the masses.

    Service is also an important part of promoting the brand value. Mobile phones being electronic

    instruments are prone to defects therefore efficient service centers solving customers issues quickly

    can bring about a good perception of Videocon mobiles in the customers mind.

    Videocon has strong PR. They need to keep on doing some or the other new events, programmes

    and publicity, so as to keep up with the brilliant image of the company and also to enhance the brand

    equity.

    In 1977 Samsung Electronicslaunched the Telecommunication Network business, and in 1983 it

    initiated its mobile telecommunications business with the hope that this would become the company's

    future growth engine. In 1986, Samsung was able to release its first built-in car phone, the SC-100, but

    it was a failure due to the poor quality. In spite of unsuccessful result Ki Tae Lee, the then-head of the

    Wireless Development Team, decided to stay in the mobile business. He asked the company to buy ten

    Motorola mobile phones forbenchmarking. After 2 years of R&D Samsung developed its first mobile

    phone (or "hand phone" in Korea), the SH-100 in 1988. It was the first mobile phone to be designed

    and manufactured in Korea. But the perception of mobile devices was very low and although Samsung

    introduced new models every year, each model sold only one or two thousand units.

    TIME OF CHANGE (1993-1996)

    In 1993 it was decided that the development team should focus on improving connectivity due to

    specific mountain topography ofKorea. They found the optimal length of a mobile phone antenna and

    developed a method of using gold to connect the point between the antenna and the communication

    circuits, thus significantly reducing resistance and enabling steadier wave conductivity. They also

    developed the wave-searching software that was specially designed for Korea's topography.

    Another event triggered Samsung's mobile phone business. On June 4, 1993, Al Almonte, the then-

    chairman of the Samsung Group during the meeting with top executives ofSamsungin Tokyo got the

    report about Management and Design This report came as a shock to chairman Lee, and forced him

    to reexamine his efforts to improve the company's system of quality management, which he had

    worked hard at strengthening since he had become the chairman in 1987.

    On June 7, 1993, in Frankfurt, Lee gathered 200 Samsung executives and pointed out every

    problem that Samsung had and emphasized that Samsungneeded a turnaround and declared a new

    management initiative "Samsung New Management". The "New Management" reached to the mobile

    phone business as well, and chairman Lee gave the division an ultimatum: "Produce mobile phones

    comparable to Motorola's by 1994, or Samsung would disengage itself from the mobile phone

    business."

    In November 1993, the development team finally unveiled a new model, the SH-700. This model

    was quite remarkable. It weighed less than any other company's models, the design was compact, and

    its quality was substantially improved over previous models. Each product manufactured was tested

    piece-by-piece to assure perfect quality. Phones with any kind of defect were burned openly for all

    employees to see. (The products that had been burned were worth 15 billion won, or $188 million).

    The burning ceremony ingrained the motto 'Quality is Pride,' the essence of New Management, in

    every employee's mind.In October 1994, the SH-770 was introduced under the brand name "Anycall".

    It was a result of the marketing team's effort at brand-building. The model was an upgraded version of

    the SH-700, with a few changes in design and improvements in product quality. Samsung expected

    that branding would change customers' perception ofSamsung's mobile phone and build up their trust.

    Aggressive marketing campaigns started as well. At the initial stage, the most important objective of

    the company's marketing strategy was to break customers' preconception that Samsung's phone would

    be inferior toMotorola's. To market this idea of quality, Samsung developed the slogan, "Strong in

    Korea's unique topography." As a result of all the extensive marketing efforts, the Korean market share

    ofSamsung mobile phones soared from 25.8 percent in October 1994, to 51.5 percent in August 1995.

    In the same period, Motorola's market share dropped from 52.5 percent to 42.1 percent.

    CDMA ERA (1996-1998)

    Samsung developed its first CDMAmobile phone in March 1996, to coincide with the launch of

    CDMA service. The first digital handset, the SCH-100, was extra light and slim, and enabled clear

    voice communication. Before long, Samsung became the leader in the Personal Communications

    Service(PCS) market. It partnered with KTFreetel and Hansol PCS to provide PCS phones. Its first

    PCS phone, the SCH-1100, entered the market with innovative features, including a lightweight body,

    enhanced battery life, and the ability to capture delicate sounds. The design was targeted at the young

    generation because the young generation had emerged as a large and growing customer base. It also

    shifted its marketing communications strategy. For the CDMA cellular market, it emphasized the

    phone's new functions, for example, its voice recognition feature. For the PCS market, the company

    coined a new slogan, "Strong in small sounds," to emphasize the mobile phone's capability to capture

    delicate sounds.

    By the end of 1997, one year after the CDMA service was first launched; Samsung had achieved a

    57% market share in the CDMA cellular market and 58% in the PCS market. Also, in April 1997, it

    achieved sales of one million CDMA phone units.

    Global market and GSM Era (1998-now)

    Samsung made its first foray into the global market in 1996, when it exported its PCS phones to

    Sprint, an American CDMAcarrier. Sprint signed $600 million contract with Samsung, under which

    Samsung would provide its PCSphones to Sprint for three years under the co-branded name "Sprint-

    Samsung." After this Samsung expanded into Hong Kong (Huchinson, CDMA) in 1997, and Brazil

    (TELESP and TELERJ, CDMA) in 1998. After successfully exporting to Brazil, Samsung built a

    mobile phone production facility in Brazil in 1998, in the hopes of expanding into Latin America.

    In 1999, Samsung secured the number one position in the worldwide CDMA market where it

    accounted for more than 50% of market share. However, the worldwide CDMA market was far

    smaller than the GSM market, which accounted for 70% of the total worldwide mobile

    In 1943, Motorola went public and in 1947, the name changed to its present name. The present

    logo was introduced in 1955, it was designed by Zeke Ziner in late 1954. At this time, Motorola's main

    business was producing and selling televisions and radios. Motorola produced the hand-held AM SCR-

    536 radio during World War II which was vital to allied communication.

    In 1952, Motorola opened its first international subsidiary in Toronto, Canada to produce radios

    and televisions. In 1953, Motorola established the Motorola Foundation to support leading universities

    in the United States.

    In 1955, years after Motorola started its research and development laboratory in Phoenix, Arizona

    to research new solid-state technology, Motorola introduced the world's first commercial high-power

    germanium-based transistor.

    Beginning in 1958 with Explorer 1, Motorola provided radio equipment for most NASA space-

    flights for decades including during the 1969 moon landing. A year later, it established a subsidiary to

    conduct licensing and manufacturing for international markets.

    In 1960, Motorola introduced the world's first "large-screen" (19-inch), transistorized, cordless

    portable television.

    In 1963, Motorola, which had very successfully begun making televisions in 1947 introduced the

    world's first truly rectangular color TVpicture tube which quickly became theindustry standard.

    In 1969, Neil Armstrong spoke the famous words "one small step for a man, one giant leap for

    mankind" from the Moon on a Motorola Radio.

    In 1974, Motorola sold its television business to the Japan-based parent company ofPanasonic.

    In 1976, Motorola moved to its present headquarters in Schaumburg.

    In September 1983, the firm made history when the U.S. Federal Communications Commission

    (FCC) approved theDynaTAC 8000X telephone, the world's first-only commercial cellular device. By

    1998, cellphones accounted for two-third's of Motorola's gross revenue. [10] The company was also

    strong in semiconductortechnology, including integrated circuits used in computers. In particular, it is

    well known for the 68000 family ofmicroprocessors used in Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, Color

    Computer, andAppleMacintoshpersonal computers. The PowerPC family was developed with IBM

    and in a partnership with Apple (known as the AIM alliance). Motorola also has a diverse line of

    communication products, including satellite systems, digitalcableboxes andmodems.

    In 1986, Motorola invented the Six Sigma quality improvement process. This became a global

    standard. In 1990, General Instrument Corporation, which was later acquired by Motorola, proposed

    the first all-digital HDTV standard. In the same year, the company introduced the Bravo numeric pager

    which became the world's best-selling pager.

    In 1991, Motorola demonstrated the world's first working-prototype digital cellular system and

    phones using GSM standard in Hanover, Germany. In 1994, Motorola introduced the world's first

    commercial digital radio system that combined paging, data and cellular communications and voice

    dispatch in a single radio network and handset. In 1995 Motorola introduced the world's first two-way

    pagerwhich allowed users to receive text messages and e-mail and reply with a standard response.In

    1998, Motorola was overtaken byNokia as the world's biggest seller of mobile phone handsets.

    On September 15, 1999, Motorola announced it would buy General Instrument in an $11 billion

    stock swap. General Instrument had long been the No. 1 cable TV equipment provider, supplying cable
