A satisfied customer is an assetfor 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 lotof survey is conducted, by which all the primary information about the level of satisfaction ofdealer and customer were collected. In this process several distributors, dealers, customers weresurveyed. All the required secondary information is gathered from the company as well as fromthe internet, books and journals.

CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION: Marketing is essentially about marshalling the resources of an organization so that theymeet the changing needs of customers on whom the organization depends. As a verb, marketingis all about how an organization addresses its markets. Marketing is The management process which identifies anticipates and suppliescustomer 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 potentialconsumers - William. J.Stantion Marketing is the performance of business activities that direct the follow of goods andservices from the producer to the consumer or user 9. - American Marketing Association A social and managerial process, by which individuals and groups obtain what they needand want, through creating and exchanging product and value with others. Customer satisfaction begins with a difficult faith; it starts with a commitment to deliver theresult for each customer which is also a concern of the dealers. Hence for a manufacturingcompany, in order to satisfy its customers, it is highly important to satisfy its dealers, as they arethe direct customers to them. Establishing satisfaction as the ultimate goal is like the otherultimate goals of business pursuit of higher profits or shareholders wealth. Perfect dealer serviceor satisfaction is one that meets the combined need satisfaction is a systemized service thatinvolves the entire organization. But many organizations have yet to develop this kind ofawareness of dealer satisfaction strategy. Dealer Satisfaction begins with the following specific assumptions about companysrelationship 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. 10. The dealer needs and value should influence every aspect of the organization strategy,employee safety and performance, product and organization strategy, employee safety andperformance, product and service development, sales and marketing programs, operationalprocedures and information and measurement system. Understanding the dealer is critical to the success of any customer focus initiative, thefirst step in understanding the dealers is to listen to them. A company needs to hear what itsdealers are saying about its people, product service and vision. Their information helps todevelop 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 separateorganization that supported the dealer primarily after the sale. Today, service is also likely to beinterested with the every product accompany offers. High dealer satisfaction comes from providing effective services. But giving that serviceis a continuous activity. It means being efficient, reliable, courteous, curing and professionalevery time. 11.

The bajaj group of India owes immense gratitude to their founding father whose visionand dedication over the years has greatly helped to build a business house that can setstandard in Indian industry.Jamnalal Bajaj was the founding father of the Bajaj Group. The adopted fifth son of MahatmaGandhi, and the merchant prince who held the wealth he created in trust for the people ofhis country, Trust - a simple word that contains a whole philosophy handed down byJamnalal Bajaj to his successors. He valued honesty over profit.kamalnayan Bajaj, elder son of Jamnalal Bajaj, followed footsteps of his illustrious father andconsolidated the Bajaj foundation. With characteristic foresight and pragmatic; vision, helaunched a steady diversification programme which gave the current name "Bajaj" both its 22. shape and size. His unique management style created a work culture that matched well with thenational spirit he had inherited.Ramkrishna Bajaj took over the reins of the "Bajaj group" in 1972 after Kamalnayan Bajaj andsteered the Group from strength to strength for over 22 years. He had also actively participated inthe 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 withBajaj 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 tookover as the Chairman and Managing Director in 1994. .People dont just bring their brains to work: they also bring their hearts and soul. They want tofeel passionate about what they are doing and be a part of whatever is great. We at BajajElectricals Limited, recognize this truism and seek out and strike a dialogue straight with the 23. hearts and souls) of our employees. Here is a quote from Mr. Shekhar Bajaj, our Chairman andManaging Director -"Every individual has the potential to perform if he or she gets proper motivation, the rightopportunity and the freedom to work. In the long run success is achieved when ordinarypeople perform extraordinarily. It is important to keep an open mind rather than drawingpreconceived impressions about people. More often that not, such impressions will beproven 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 andthrough each one of our employees. And not only our excellent brand of products, our peopleprovide an excellent competitive advantage to us.We are looking at collaboration for our luminaries business through a licensing agreement as thereis a need for technologically superior products which are state-of-the art. We are in advanceddiscussions. I cannot disclose anything further at this stage," Bajaj Electricals chief operatingofficer and president R Ramakrishnan said. 24. The luminaire business is one of the five special business units (SBUs) of the company. Theothers are appliances, pans, lighting and the engineering business. Bajaj Electrical luminaires findapplications in the engineering, power, steel, cement, fertilizer, chemical and petrochemicalsectors.Earlier, Bajaj Electricals had entered into a licensing agreement with Morphy Richards of theUK 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, wewere only into the manufacture of power transmission towers. Now, we will be installingthem too," Mr Ramakrishnan added. The engineering and projects business is also the fastestgrowing business.This business has an order book of over Rs 150 crore and has grown by over 85%, seniorcompany executives said. The company clocked net sales of Rs 505.26 crore in the last fiscal andis expected to add around 25% to its top line this fiscal, he said. The company which had been 25. facing tough times a few years back has bounced back after the implementation of arestructuring 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 thedevelopment rights of the land and entering into a non-compete clause with a competitor.Revamp helps Bajaj Electricals Turn AroundHindu Business lineJanuary 31, 2005K. GiriprakashV. K. VaradarajanBangalore Jan 30, 2005: BAJAJ Electricals has restructured its entire operations, includingshutting down some of its loss-making ventures, as part of its plans to turnaround thecompany.Bajaj Electricals President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr R. Ramakrishnan, told BusinessLine that the restructuring has helped the company to turnaround and now it expects to doubleits revenues to about Rs 1,000 crore within three years. The company hopes to end the currentfiscal with a revenue of around Rs 730 crore, an increase of 20 per cent over fiscal 2008-09. 26. Mr Ramakrishnan said it had roped in Accenture Consulting to chart out a turnaround forthe company. As per the new plan, Bajaj Electricals dropped its matrix structure for itsorganisation in favour of separate business units for each of its businesses.It now has five separate business units - engineering and projects, luminaire, appliances, fansand lighting. "Each of these units compete as separate businesses with its, competitors," MrRamakrishnan 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 soldsurplus land of the unit.He said the company also went in for financial restructuring by swapping high cost funds withlow cost long-term debt. The banks too have lowered interest cost and increased themoratorium for another two years.The company plans to invest about Rs 20 crore, spread over the next fiscal, to double theexisting capacity in its engineering unit to execute its Rs 160 crore worth of fresh order fromPowergrid Corporation for erection and commissioning of power transmission tower.Mr Ramakrishnan said the engineering unit, which registered a growth of 88 per cent over thelast fiscal, is expected to outpace other business units. The company expects about 25 per cent ofits revenues to come from its engineering business, he said. 27. Mr Ramakrishnan said with the Power Grid according thrill the status of approved EPCcontractors, it expects bigger orders from the power company. He pointed out that with anestimated investment proposal of Rs 75,000 crore by Powergrid Corporation, there was ahuge opportunity for the company.Mr.Ramakrishnan said the company had entered into a licensing arrangement with Trilux, aleading European luminaries brand and a market leader in lighting in Germany. Thetie-up, though is aimed to market the products to premium segments in the country, couldlead to manufacturing Trilux products in the long term.Bajajs own products to provide full spectrum of lighting products, he said. Similarly, Bajajstie-up with UKs leading small appliances brand Morphy Richards had helped it to positionitself in the premium end of the market.Mr Ramakrishnan said Bajaj Electricals has a market share of between 15 per cent and 20 percent 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 competitivepricing of its products in the lower end. "Our China sourcing strategy has helped us to buyfrom the worlds best without compromising on the quality of the products," 28.
