7. 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,
8. 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”
9. - 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.
10. 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.
11. 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.

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

21. 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
22. 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
23. 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.
24. 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
25. 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
January 31, 2005
K. Giriprakash
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.
26. 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.
27. 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,"
