ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The satisfaction that accompanies the successful completion of any task would be incomplete
without the mention of the people who make it possible and whose constant guidance and
encouragement crown the efforts with success. The acknowledgement transcends the reality of formality
when we would like to express deep gratitude to all those people behind the screen who guided, inspired
and helped me for completion of my project work.
I would like to acknowledge my gratitude and thanks to our Business Research Methods
Professor, PROF. S. DURGA RAO for his assistance and suggestions while working on this project. This
project work helped me to develop a good insight on the topics covered by our Professor. I am also
thankful to the students of SRI VENKATESWARA UNIVERSITY, TIRUPATI.
Last but not the least I would like to convey my sincere thanks to my parents, friends and
all those who have helped me directly or indirectly for their constant support and encouragement without
which this project would not have been a success.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Frederic M. Scherer, (2008) Dynamics and Regulation of the Asian FMCG Industry: A Critical Review, this
study examines how product innovation contributes to the renewal of the firm through its dynamic and
reciprocal relation with the firms competences. Field research in five high-tech firm of varying age, size and
level of diversification is combined with analysis of existing theory develop the findings of the diversification is
combined with analysis of existing theory develop the findings of the study. Based on the notion that new
products are created by linking competences relating to technologies and customers, a typology is derived that
classifies new product projects based on weather a new product can draw on existing competences, pre
requires competences die firm does not yet have. Following organizational learning these options are
conceptualized as exploitation and exploration. These organizational concepts are used to gain a dynamic and
path-dependent view of product innovation and development, and to reveal the unique nature and challenges
of different types of product innovation.
Thomas S.Robertson, Jehoshua Eliashberg and Talia Rymon, (1995), new product announcement Signals
and incumbent reactions, the authors focus on NPA Signals. They develop a set of regarding incumbent’s
reactions to NPA single is and test them in a field study among managers in the United States and The United
Kingdom. The authors’ findings provide an amortization of the factors affecting the likelihood of competitive
response to NPA signals and agency a set of managerial implications.
R Wensley, (2008), product strategic, managerial comprehension, and organizational performance, Recent
comments on the national competitive model based on the links between organizational skills and value added
have recognized that individual firm performance can be significantly moderated by either or. Both marketing
expertise and differentiating skills within the organization with an emphasis on high level managerial

Pwter Trim, [2008], A new product launch strategy (NPLS) model for pharmaceutical companies, department
of management, the purpose of this paper is to make explicit positioned in the industry as sustainable
competitive advantage being achieved- various regulations and cultural trial as religion.
It is clear from the research undertaken that some marketing medals are viewed as being too complex
however, it is generally appreciated that marketing models can be used to interpret complex relationships that
are evident in marketing system research limitations/implications.
Andreas Hinterhber, (2003) towards value-based pricing an integrative framework for decision making,
Despite a recent surge of interest, the subject of pricing in general and value-based pricing in particular has
received little academic investigation. Yet, pricing has a huge impact on financial results, both in absolute terms
and relative to other instruments of the marketing mix. To objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive
framework for pricing decisions which considers all relevant dimensions and elements for profitable and
sustainable pricing decisions, the theoretical framework is illustrated by a case useful for guiding new
product pricing decisions as well as for implementing price-occasioning strategies for existing products.
The practical application of this framework is by a case study involving the pricing decision for a major product
launch at a global chemical company.
