PREFACE
To bridge the gap between the theory and practical it essential for student to step out of the class room and move around the corporate world .Classroom theory can pass on knowledge but attitude and skill can be inherited from actual market exposure. This training had not only provided me the corporate exposure but has also equipped me with an attitude and skill to become a successful leader. And I have learned that how to handle the situation in any adverse time, this practical programme has given me a very wonderful knowledge about publicity and public relation strategies and market competition and I have came up with that idea how can we actually work with perfection by publicity and public relation activities and giving it to a third party . Other than the above mentioned things, this training has given me the exposure to deal with the cut-throat competition which prevails in todays business environment among the various firms and has also taught me how to figure out solutions for this adverse condition.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This training is mostly given to the B and C class WSS.

Retailer :The retailers are the most important channel partners as they are the direct link between the company channel partners and the end consumer. They are also given training in the form of seminars and meets organized by the company. Mechanics and carpenters : Though large offices, industries and households buy products from the company but the end users are the mechanics and carpenters among other masons.

INTRODUCING THE SUBJECT AREA PROBLEM DEFINITION

The customers are not aware of the pidilite brand name.

Brand as a "name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers. A brand may identify one item, a family of items, or all items of that seller. If used for the firm as a whole, the preferred term is trade name." A brand can take many forms, including a name, sign, symbol, colour combination or slogan. The word branding began simply as a way to tell one person's cattle from another by means of a hot iron stamp. The word brand has continued to evolve to encompass identity it affects the personality of a product, company or service. It is defined by a perception, good or bad, that your customers or prospects have about you. Brand awareness refers to customers' ability to recall and recognize the brand under different conditions and link to the brand name, logo, and jingles and so on to certain associations in memory. It consists of both brand recognition and brand recall. It helps the customers to understand to which product or service category the particular brand belongs and what products and services are sold under the brand name. It also ensures that customers know which of their needs are satisfied by the brand through its products. Brand awareness is of critical importance since customers will not consider your brand if they are not aware of it. There are various levels of brand awareness that require different levels and combinations of brand recognition and recall. Top-of-Mind is the goal of most companies. Top-of-Mind Awareness occurs when your brand is what pops into a consumers mind when asked to name brands in a product category.
51

Aided Awareness occurs when a consumer is shown or read a list of brands, and expresses familiarity with your brand only after they hear or see it as a type of memory aide. Strategic Awareness occurs when your brand is not only top-of-mind to consumers, but also has distinctive qualities that stick out to consumers as making it better than the other brands in your market. The distinctions that set your product apart from the competition is also known as the Unique Selling Point or USP.

Micro and macro factors missing

The field of economics that studies the behaviour of the aggregate economy. Macroeconomics examines economy-wide phenomena such as changes in unemployment, national income, rate of growth, gross domestic product, inflation and price levels. Macroeconomics is focused on the movement and trends in the economy as a whole, while in microeconomics the focus is placed on factors that affect the decisions made by firms and individuals. The factors that are studied by macro and micro will often influence each other, such as the current level of unemployment in the economy as a whole will affect the supply of workers which an oil company can hire from.

The promotional activities are too weak

This means the tools by which all the promotions are done to grow the business. These are offers, policy, personal assurance, expert opinion, event assignment, game play etc.

OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
Project study which is being conducted by me for the last two month is not only a formality for the fulfilment of the two year full time MBA. But being a management student I tried my best to extract best of the information available in the market for the purpose of good research work. The objectives have been classified by me in this project form personal to professional, but here I am not disclosing my personal objective which has been achieved by me while doing the project. Only professional objectives which are being covered by me in this project are as followingThe primary objective is will promotional activities change the perception of consumer towards PIDILITE INDUSTRIES LTD? While rest all factors are constant in FAIZABAAD, BALRAMPUR, BASTI, KHALILABAAD, GONDA. And the sub objectives of the study are: To study about environmental factors affecting PIDILITE INDUSTRIES LTD performance. Environmental scanning is one component of the global environmental environmental

analysis. Environmental

monitoring,

environmental forecasting and

assessment complete the global environmental analysis. Environmental scanning refers to the macro environment.

56

The global environment refers to the macro environment which comprises industries, markets, companies, clients and competitors. Consequently, there exist corresponding analyses on the micro-level. Suppliers, customers and competitors representing the micro environment of a company are analyzed within the industry analysis.

Environmental scanning can be defined as the study and interpretation of the political, economic, social and technological events and trends which influence a business, an industry or even a total market. The factors which need to be considered for environmental scanning are events, trends, issues and expectations of the different interest groups. Issues are often forerunners of trend breaks. A trend break could be a value shift in society, a technological innovation that might be permanent or a paradigm change. Issues are less deep-seated and can be 'a temporary shortlived reaction to a social phenomenon. A trend can be defined as an environmental phenomenon that has adopted a structural character.

To study the promotion mix for PIDILITE INDUSTRIES LTD in FAIZABAAD, BALRAMPUR, BASTI, KHALILABAAD.,GONDA.

There are seven main aspects of a promotional mix. These are:

Advertising - Presentation and promotion of ideas, goods, or services by an identified sponsor. Examples: Print ads, radio, television, billboard, direct mail, brochures and catalogues, signs, in-store displays, posters, motion pictures, Web pages, banner ads, and emails.
57

Personal selling - A process of helping and persuading one or more prospects to purchase a good or service or to act on any idea through the use of an oral presentation. Examples: Sales presentations, sales meetings, event, sales training and incentive programs for intermediary salespeople, samples, and telemarketing. Can be face-to-face or via telephone.

Sales promotion - Media and non-media marketing communication are employed for a pre-determined, limited time to increase consumer demand, stimulate market demand or improve product availability. Examples: Coupons, sweepstakes, contests, product samples, rebates, tie-ins, self-liquidating premiums, trade shows, trade-ins, and exhibitions.

Public relations - Paid intimate stimulation of supply for a product, service, or business unit by planting significant news about it or a favourable presentation of it in the media. Examples: Newspaper and magazine articles/reports, TVs and radio presentations, charitable contributions, speeches, issue advertising, and seminars.

Corporate image - The Image of an organization is a crucial point in marketing. If the reputation of a company is bad, consumers are less willing to buy a product from this company as they would have been, if the company had a good image.

Direct Marketing is often listed as a the fifth part of the marketing mix Exhibitions - are try-outs. You make your product, and let potential buyers try the product, this way; you know directly what people see in your product. The downside, your competitor can see exactly what you are doing.

Perception is the process of attaining awareness or understanding of the environment by organizing and interpreting sensory information. All perception involves signals in the nervous system, which in turn result from physical stimulation of the sense organs. For example, vision involves light striking the retinas of the eyes, smell is mediated by odours molecules and hearing involves pressure waves. Perception is not the passive receipt of these signals, but can be shaped by learning, memory and expectation. Perception involves these "top-down" effects as well as the "bottom-up" process of processing sensory input. Perception depends on complex functions of the nervous system, but subjectively seems mostly effortless because this processing happens outside conscious awareness. Since the rise of experimental psychology in the late 19th Century, psychology's understanding of perception has progressed by combining a variety of

techniques. Psychophysics measures the effect on perception of varying the physical qualities of the input. Sensory neuroscience studies the brain mechanisms underlying perception. Perceptual systems can also be studied computationally, in terms of the information they process. Perceptual issues in philosophy include the extent to which sensory qualities such as sounds, smells or colours exist in objective reality rather than the mind of the perceiver.

Although the senses were traditionally viewed as passive receptors, the study of illusions and ambiguous images has demonstrated that the brain's perceptual systems actively and pre-consciously attempt to make sense of their input. There is still active debate about the extent to which perception is an active process of hypothesis testing, analogous

59

to science, or whether realistic sensory information is rich enough to make this process unnecessary.

The perceptual systems of the brain enable individuals to see the world around them as stable, even though the sensory information may be incomplete and rapidly varying. Human and animal brains are structured in a modular way, with different areas processing different kinds of sensory information. Some of these modules take the form of sensory maps, mapping some aspect of the world across part of the brain's surface. These different modules are interconnected and influence each other. For instance, the taste is strongly influenced by its odour.

To explore the potential areas for the new branches of PIDILITE INDUSTRIES LTD.

This section identifies the area where manpower usage is high in construction. Attention and efforts can then be directed towards labour-intensive areas of work to in order to achieve the highest productivity gains.

The section also presents the relationship between built cable designs and productivity.

Manpower Usage

60

The usage of construction labour varies as the project progresses from structural work, architectural and gnashing work and mechanical and electrical (M&E) work. The proportion of foreign to local workers also differs considerably through these stages.

In Organisational development, performance improvement is the concept of organizational change in which the managers and governing body of an organisation put into place and manage a programme which measures the current level of performance of the organization and then generates ideas for modifying organisational behaviour and infrastructure which are put into place to achieve higher output. The primary goals of organizational improvement are to increase organizational effectiveness and efficiency to improve the ability of the organization to deliver goods and or services. A third area sometimes targeted for improvement is organizational efficacy, which involves the process of setting organizational goals and objectives. Performance improvement at the operational or individual employee level usually involves processes such as statistical quality control. At the organizational level, performance improvement usually involves softer forms of measurement such as customer satisfaction surveys which are used to obtain qualitative information about performance from the viewpoint of customers.

NATURE AND SCOPE OF STUDY

Each and every project study along with its certain objectives also has scope for future. This scope gives researchers new areas to explore. Scope of the study not only consist one or two future business plan but sometime it also gives idea about a new business which becomes much more profitable for the researches than the older one. Scope of the study could give the projected scenario for a new successful strategy with a proper implementation plan. Whatever scope I observed in my project are not exactly having all the features of the scope which I described above but also not lacking all the features. Research study could give an idea of network expansion for capturing more market and customer with better services and lower cost, without compromising with quality.

In future customer requirements could be added with the product and services for getting an edge over competitors.

Consumer behaviour could also be used for the purpose of launching a new product with extra benefits which are required by customers for their account (saving or current) and/or for their investments.

Factors which are responsible for the performance for INDUSTRIES can also be used for the modification of the strategy and product for being more profitable.

Factors which I observed while doing project study are following Competitors

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the logic behind them. It is necessary for the researcher to know not only the research methods/techniques but also the methodology. Researchers not only need to know how to develop certain indices or tests, how to calculate the mean, the mode, the median or the standard deviation or chi-square, how to apply particular research techniques, but they also need to know which of these methods or techniques, are relevant and which are not, and what would they mean and indicate and why. Researchers also need to understand the assumptions underlying various techniques and they need to know the criteria by which they can decide that certain techniques and procedures will be applicable to certain problems and others will not. All this means that it is necessary for the researcher to design his methodology for his problem as the same may differ from problem to problem. For example, an architect, who designs a building, has to consciously evaluate the basis of his decisions, i.e., he has to evaluate why and on what basis he selects particular size, number and location of doors, windows and ventilators, uses particular materials and not others and the like. Similarly, in research the scientist has to expose the research decisions to evaluation before they are implemented. He has to specify very clearly and precisely what decisions he selects and why he selects them so that they can be evaluated by others also. The methodology means the sources of data whether is primary or secondary data or the both .The present report is prepared with the help of both primary and secondary data which is collected through various means.

RESEARCH DESIGN

The aim was to collect relevant information which fulfils out requirement and can be analyzed at a later stage of study without any problem. This was to be done in minimum expenditure with least efforts and in a set of period. I therefore followed conclusive research design. This helped in having enough provisions for protection against bias and maximizes reliability.

66

SAMPLING DESIGN
1. There are three methods of collecting data such that the information collected can be used to draw inferences about the target universe. These are: Collection of data from all enterprises. This is a costly and lengthy procedure unless the target universe is small; Collection of data from a sample of units that have been selected from the target universe with the intention that they should be representative of that universe. A sample of this kind is referred to as a purposive (or sometimes judgmental) sample. In order to draw inferences about the target universe using a purposive sample, a number of assumptions have to be made about the representativeness of the data collected and of the reporting units and, in general, there are limitations to the inferences that can be drawn from purposive samples when the probability of selection is not known;

Collection of data from a random sample of units which have been selected with known Probabilities of selection from among all units in the target universe. In this case no assumptions about representativeness are needed in estimating totals or averages for the target universe and, in addition, there are well known techniques for determining the precision of these estimates. This said, estimates based on random samples will only be unbiased if the business registers from which they are drawn are comprehensive and up to date.

67

2 In some cases, the observed units may not form a sample from any meaningful population, but rather constitute a convenience sample, or may represent the entire population of interest. In this situation, we may study the units descriptively, or we may study their dynamics over time. But it typically does not make sense to talk about generalizing to a larger population of such units. Studies involving countries or business firms are often of this type. In simple data sets, the units are in one-to-one correspondence with the data values. In more complex data sets, multiple measurements are made for each unit. For example, if blood pressure measurements are made daily for a week on each subject in a study, there would be seven data values for each statistical unit.

While a unit is often the lowest level at which observations are made, in some cases, a unit can be further decomposed as a statistical assembly. Many statistical analyses use quantitative data that have units of measurement. This is a distinct and non-overlapping use of the term "unit."
