Introduction to CRM Before we begin to examine the conceptual foundations of CRM, it will be useful to define, what is CRM? A narrow perspective of customer relationship management is database marketing emphasizing the promotional aspects of marketing linked to database efforts. Another narrow, yet relevant, viewpoint is to consider CRM only as customer retention in which a variety of after marketing tactics is used for customer bonding or staying in touch after the sale is made. Shani and Chalasani define relationship marketing as “an integrated effort to identify, maintain, and build up a network with individuals consumers and to continuously strengthen the network for mutual benefit of both sides, through interactive, individualized and value-added contacts over a period of time�. The core theme of all CRM and relationship marketing perspectives is its focus on cooperative and collaborative relationships between the firm and its customers, and/or other marketing actors.

CRM is based on the premise that, by having a better understanding of the customers’ needs and desires we can keep them longer and sell more to them.

Growth Strategies International (GSI) performed a statistical analysis of Customer satisfaction data encompassing the findings of over 7,000+ customer surveys conducted by Angel Broking Ltd. CRM (customer relationship management) is an information industry term for methodologies, software, and usually Internet capabilities that help an enterprise manage customer relationships in an organized way.

For example, an enterprise might build a database about its customers that described relationships in sufficient detail so that management, salespeople, people providing service, and perhaps the customer directly could access information, match customer needs with product plans and offerings, remind customers of service requirements, know what other products a customer had purchased, and so forth.

The essence of the information technology revolution and, in particular, the World Wide Web is the opportunity to build better relationships with customers than has been previously possible in the offline world. By combining the abilities to respond directly to

5

customer requests and to provide the customer with a highly interactive, customized experience, companies have a greater ability today to establish, nurture, and sustain long-term customer relationships than ever before. The ultimate goal is to transform these relationships into greater profitability by increasing repeat purchase rates and reducing customer acquisition costs. Indeed, this revolution in customer relationship management or CRM.1 as it is called, has been referred to as the new “mantra” of marketing. 2 Companies like Siebel, E.piphany, Oracle, Broadvision, Net Perceptions, Kana and others have filled this CRM space with products that do everything from track customer behavior on the Web to predicting their future moves to sending direct e-mail communications. This has created a worldwide market for CRM products and services of $34 billion in 1999 and which is forecasted by IDC to grow to $125 billion by 2004. 3 The need to better understand customer behavior and focus on those customers who can deliver long-term profits has changed how marketers view the world.

Traditionally, marketers have been trained to acquire customers, either new ones who have not bought the product category before or those who are currently competitors’ customers. This has required heavy doses of mass advertising and price-oriented promotions to customers and channel members. Today, the tone of the conversation has changed from customer acquisition to retention.

This requires a different mindset and a 3 different and new set of tools. A good thought experiment for an executive audience is to ask them how much they spend and/or focus on acquisition versus retention activities.

While it is difficult to perfectly distinguish the two activities from each other, the answer is usually that acquisition dominates retention.

According to one industry view, CRM consists of:  Helping an enterprise to enable its marketing departments to

identify and target their best customers, manage marketing 6

campaigns with clear goals and objectives, and generate quality leads for the sales team. ďƒ˜ Assisting the organization to improve telesales, account, and

sales management by optimizing information shared by multiple employees, and streamlining existing processes (for example, taking orders using mobile devices) ďƒ˜ Allowing the formation of individualized relationships with

customers, with the aimof improving customer satisfaction and maximizing profits; identifying the most profitable customers and providing them the highest level of service. ďƒ˜ Providing employees with the information and processes

necessary to know their customers, understand their needs, and effectively build relationships between the company, its customer base, and distribution partners.

CRM--Customer Relationship Management--has entered the mainstream. Despite the uncertainty of the economy, CRM is being thrust into corporate budgets and talked about as a critical initiative by hundreds of Fortune 1,000 and tens of thousands of other companies. It has gone from being an important edge in the business world to a necessary tool for survival. The notion of the customer as king or queen is once again the rule. How you treat this is a missioncritical business issue.

But, what is CRM and how does it change the way companies do business? The changes in the world have been so dynamic and so dramatic that the path is not necessarily all that obvious. How CRM impacts that business path is a continuing source of debate in the world of corporate management.

Managing relationships with customers has become a critical organizational competency. Get winning strategies for acquiring and retaining customers by leveraging the latest advanced technologies.

This course will teach you how to select the right tools for your business-- so it can grow today--and on into the future. Lagging means lost customers, which means damage to the bottom line. But how do you not lag when customers are moving lightning fast to demand constant changes in the speed to complete their 7

transactions? How do you keep your customers when the move to another company is nothing more than a mouse click and a minute away?

CRM is the answer. Customer Relationship Management, a strategy that leverages very advanced technologies is the way to cut to the 21st Century business chase.

History of CRM Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is one of those magnificent concepts that swept the business world in the 1990’s with the promise of forever changing the way businesses small and large interacted with their customer bases. In the short term, however, it proved to be an unwieldy process that was better in theory than in practice for a variety of reasons. First among these was that it was simply so difficult and expensive to track and keep the high volume of 8

records needed accurately and constantly update them. In the last several years, however, newer software systems and advanced tracking features have vastly improved CRM capabilities and the real promise of CRM is becoming a reality. As the price of newer, more customizable Internet solutions have hit the marketplace; competition has driven the prices down so that even relatively small businesses are reaping the benefits of some custom CRM programs.

In the beginning…

The 1980’s saw the emergence of database marketing, which was simply a catch phrase to define the practice of setting up customer service groups to speak individually to all of a company’s customers. In the case of larger, key clients it was a valuable tool for keeping the lines of communication open and tailoring service to the clients needs. In the case of smaller clients, however, it tended to provide repetitive, survey-like information that cluttered databases and didn’t provide much insight. As companies began tracking database information, they realized that the bare bones were all that was needed in most cases: what they buy regularly, what they spend, what they do.

Advances in the 1990’s In the 1990’s companies began to improve on Customer Relationship Management by making it more of a two-way street.

Instead of simply gathering data for their own use, they began giving back to their customers not only in terms of the obvious goal of improved customer service, but in incentives, gifts and other perks for customer loyalty. This was the beginning of the now familiar frequent flyer programs, bonus points on credit cards and a host of other resources that are based on CRM tracking 3333 customer activity and spending patterns. CRM was now being used as a way to increase sales passively as well as through active improvement of customer service.

True CRM comes of age

Real Customer Relationship Management as it’s thought of today really began in earnest in the early years of this century. As software companies began releasing newer, more advanced solutions that were customizable across industries, it became feasible to really use the information in a dynamic way. Instead of feeding information into a static database for future reference, CRM became a way to continuously update understanding of customer needs and behavior.

Branching of information, sub-folders, and custom tailored features enabled companies to break down information into smaller subsets so that they could evaluate not only concrete statistics, but information on the motivation and reactions of customers. The Internet provided a huge boon to the development of these huge databases by enabling offsite information storage, where before companies had difficulty supporting the enormous amounts of information. The Internet provided new possibilities and CRM took off as providers began moving toward Internet solutions. With the increased fluidity of these programs came a less rigid relationship between sales, customer service and marketing. CRM enabled the development of new strategies for more cooperative work between these different divisions through shared information and understanding, leading to increased customer satisfaction from order to end product.

Today, CRM is still utilized most frequently by companies that rely heavily on two distinct features: customer service or technology.

The three sectors of business that rely most heavily on CRM -- and use it to great advantage -- are financial services, a variety of high tech corporations and the telecommunications industry. The financial services industry in particular tracks the level of client satisfaction and what customers are looking for in terms of changes and personalized features. They also track changes in investment habits and spending patterns as the economy shifts. Software specific to the industry can give financial service providers truly impressive feedback in these areas.

In recent years however, several factors have contributed to the rapid development and evolution of CRM. These include: 1. The growing de-intermediation process in many industries due to the advent of sophisticated computer and telecommunication technologies that allow producers to directly interact with end10

customers. For example, in many industries such as airlines, banks insurance, software or household appliances and even consumables, the de-intermediation process is fast changing the nature of marketing and consequently making relationship marketing more popular. Databases and direct marketing tools give them the means to individualize their marketing efforts.

2. Advances in information technology, networking and manufacturing technology have helped companies to quickly match competition. As a result product quality and cost are no longer significant competitive advantages.

3. The growth in service economy. Since services are typically produced and delivered at the same institution, it minimizes the role of the middlemen.

4. Another force driving the adoption of CRM has been the total quality movement. When companies embraced TQM it became necessary to involve customers and suppliers in implementing the program at all levels of the value chain. This needed close working relationships with the customers. Thus several companies such as Motorola, IBM, General Motors, Xerox, Ford, Toyota, etc formed partnering relations with suppliers and customers to practice TQM. Other programs such as JIT and MRP also made use of interdependent relationships between suppliers and customers.

5. Customer expectations are changing almost on a daily basis. Newly empowered customers, who choose, how to communicate with the companies’ various available channels? Also nowadays consumers expect a high degree of personalization.

6. Emerging real time, interactive channels including e-mail, ATMs and call centre that must be synchronized with customer’s nonelectronic activities. The speed of business change, requiring flexibility and rapid adoption to technologies.

7. In the current era of hyper competition, marketers are forced to be more concerned with customer retention and customer loyalty.

11

8. As several researches have found out retaining customers is less expensive and more sustainable competitive advantage than acquiring new ones.

9. On the supply side it pays more to develop closer relationships with a few suppliers than to develop more vendors.

10. The globalization of world marketplace makes it necessary to have global account management for the customers.

Definition: “CRM is concerned with creating improved shareholder value through the use of customer centric business processes and the development of appropriate relationships with consumers.”

Implementing CRM: CRM requires an integration of a firm's resources; people, operations and marketing capabilities to deliver added value to the customers. CRM should provide businesses and organizations with a ‘single view’ of their customers and across irrespective of the interactive channel or medium through which the customer accesses the service or product. For example, a business (e.g. hotel) customer’s profile and personal references should be accessible to the business (or hotel) irrespective of channel i.e. whether the customer books online, calls in or walks into any location should not make a difference to the service provided based on the personal profile of the business client.

It is enabled through:    

Information Processes Technology Applications

12

A firm that wants to implement CRM must align it's business processes cross-functionally in the best possible way to allow increased customer focus with an aim to deliver added value to the customer.

To implement CRM, the following steps must be followed:  Develop a CRM framework  Align current business processes  Design new cross-functional business processes (where required)  Develop Functional Specifications (client-side services)  Develop Technical Specifications  Match Technical Specifications to available technology (Systems, software, etc)  Product Configuration  Data Migration and Integration  Staff Training

 Customer Segmentation: For CRM to be effective, the organization’s customer base must be stratified into segments based on commonalities amongst groups’ of individuals and customers. This also requires the organization to have strategies to target consolidated customer segments.

13

 Reduced Cost of Service: a customer relationship strategy should reduce the cost of service for both the organization and it’s customers and increase satisfaction levels.  Service as a differentiator: The more competitive a market becomes the more a business will need to rely on its superior product quality and quality of service to differentiate itself from other businesses and providers.  Tie-in’s over time: The greater the effort a customer spends on a relationship over time, the greater the customer’s stake in helping to ensure that the relationship works and the more convenient and loyal the customer becomes.

Pitfalls to avoid: Many CRM programs fail for two reasons: 1. Lack of supportive business processes: Because business processes and organizational goals are not part of a strategic CRM plan tied to organizational goals and objectives.

2. Lack of an enterprise perspective: For Relationship Marketing to be effective, it requires that the organization creates a seamless enterprise view. A lot of CRM programs fail because they are assembled with disparate components that aren't designed to work together as part of a complete CRM system designed to meet organizational objectives.

Objective of the study of CRM CRM, in its broadest sense, means managing all interactions and business with customers. This includes, but is not limited to, improving customer service. A good CRM program will allow a business to acquire customers, service the customer, increase the value of the customer to the company, retain good customers, and determine which customers can be retained or given a higher level of service. A good CRM program can improve customer service by facilitating communication in several ways:  Provide product information, product use information, and technical assistance on web sites that are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week  Identify how each individual customer defines quality, and then design a service strategy for each customer based on these individual requirements and expectations.  Provide a fast mechanism for managing and scheduling followup sales calls to assess post-purchase cognitive dissonance, repurchase probabilities, repurchase times, and repurchase frequencies.  Provide a mechanism to track all points of contact between a customer and the company, and do it in an integrated way so that all sources and types of contact are included, and all users of the system see the same view of the customer (reduces confusion).  Help to identify potential problems quickly, before customer occur  Provide a user-friendly mechanism for registering customer complaints (complaints that are not registered with the 17

company cannot be resolved, and are a major source of customer dissatisfaction).  Provide a fast mechanism for handling problems and complaints (complaints that are resolved quickly can increase customer satisfaction).  Provide a fast mechanism for correcting service deficiencies (correct the problem before other customers experience the same dissatisfaction).  Use internet cookies to track customer interests and personalize product offerings accordingly  Use the Internet to engage in collaborative customization or real-time customization  Provide a fast mechanism for managing and scheduling maintenance, repair, and ongoing support (improve efficiency and effectiveness) Mechanism to evaluate Potential KOMs. To develop integrated Database.

The CRM program can be integrated into other cross-functional systems and thereby provide accounting and production information to customers when they want it. ďƒ˜ Keeping Existing Customers Grading customers from very satisfied to very disappointed should help the organization in improving its customer satisfaction levels and scores. As the satisfaction level for each customer improves, so shall the customer retention with the organization. ďƒ˜ Maximizing Life time value Exploit up-selling and cross-selling potential. By identifying life stage and life event trigger points by customer, marketers can maximize share of purchase potential. Thus the single adults shall require a new car stereo and as he grows into a married couple his needs grow into appliances. ďƒ˜ Increase Loyalty Loyal customers are more profitable. Any company will like its mindshare status to improve from being a suspect to being an advocate. Company has to invest in terms of its product and service offerings to its customers. It has to innovate and meet the very needs of its customers so that they remain as advocates on the loyalty curve.

Referral sales invariably are low cost high margin sales.

Research Methodology for CRM Meeting and satisfying each customer’s need uniquely and individually. In the mass markets individualized information on customers is now possible at low costs due to the rapid development in the information technology and due to availability of scalable data warehouses and data mining products. By using online information and databases on individual customer interactions, marketers aim to fulfill the unique needs of each mass-market customer. Information on individual customers is utilized to develop frequency marketing, interactive marketing, and after marketing programs in order to develop relationship with high-yielding customers. In the context of business-to-business markets, individual marketing has been in place of quite sometime. Known as Key Account Management Program, here marketers appoint customer teams to husband the company resources according to individual customer needs.

Continuity Marketing Programs Take the shape of membership and loyalty card programs where customers are often rewarded for their member and loyalty relationships with the marketers. The basic premise of continuity marketing programs is to retain customers and increase loyalty through long-term special services that has a potential to increase mutual value through learning about each other.

Partnering Programs The third type of CRM programs is partnering relationships between customer and marketers to serve end user needs. In the mass markets, two types of partnering programs are most common: Cobranding and affinity partnering. Missing process of CRM Traditionally customer relationship management (CRM) revolves around the three functions of selling, marketing and support. Various process models have been built around how these functions are 20

integrated and operated in a customer oriented enterprise. There is however a fourth critical function that is lacking in most CRM models.

The fourth function that often is the source of a competitive edge is that of innovation. Companies must continually reinvent themselves to deliver an improved and often a totally new value offering to their customer base. CRM must provide the customer intelligence that feeds information back into the enterprise’s knowledge management processes where it can trigger new innovation processes. When CRM is integrated into the innovation process, significant value can be derived from faster time to market cycle times and with new processes and services. Marketing automation must ensure that the innovation processes are actually market driven. A market driven innovation process must include both strategies that are focused on satisfying customer requirements as well as strategies focused at redefining customer requirements. Sales automation should be integrated with the innovation process by ensuring that all sales channels are prepared and ready to take new processes and services to market before competitive forces can react.

Customer service automation must be designed to empower the customer with the option of assisting with the design of the value offering. Redefining CRM around innovation, sales, marketing and service can identify new competitive opportunities for an enterprise.

The remaining question is whether companies are prepared to take the initiative and expand the definition of customer relationship management to include the process of innovation. The pressure to deliver results within the traditional definition of CRM already overwhelms companies. The dialog must start rather earlier than later because the competitive window of traditional CRM is decreasing and customer demands for a more innovative and responsive enterprise will increase Architecture of CRM There are three parts of application architecture of CRM: 1. Operational - automation to the basic business processes (marketing, sales, service) 2. Analytical - support to analyze customer behavior, implements business intelligence aliketechnology 21

3. Collaborative - ensures the contact with customers (phone, email, fax, web, SMS, post, in person) 1. Operational CRM Operational CRM means supporting the "front office" business processes, which include customer contact (sales, marketing and service). Tasks resulting from these processes are forwarded to resources responsible for them, as well as the information necessary for carrying out the tasks and interfaces to back-end applications are being provided and activities with customers are being documented for further reference. Operational CRM provides the following benefits: ďƒ˜ Delivers personalized and efficient marketing, sales, and service through multi-channel collaboration ďƒ˜ Enables a 360-degree view of your customer while you are interacting with them ďƒ˜ Sales people and service engineers can access complete history of all customer interaction with your company, regardless of the touch point. The operational part of CRM typically involves three general areas of business: Sales force automation (SFA) SFA automates some of the company's critical sales and sales force management functions, for example, lead/account management, contact management, quote management, forecasting, sales administration, keeping track of customer preferences, buying habits, and demographics, as well as performance management. SFA tools are designed to improve field sales productivity. Key infrastructure requirements of SFA are mobile synchronization and integrated product configuration.

Customer service and support (CSS) CSS automates some service requests, complaints, product returns, and information requests.

22

Traditional internal help desk and traditional inbound call-center support for customer inquiries are now evolved into the "customer interaction center" (CIC), using multiple channels (Web, phone/fax, face-to-face, kiosk, etc). Key infrastructure requirements of CSS include computer telephony integration (CTI) which provides high volume processing capability, and reliability.

Enterprise marketing automation (EMA) EMA provides information about the business environment, including competitors, industry trends, and macro-environmental variables. It is the execution side of campaign and lead management.

The intent of EMA applications is to improve marketing campaign efficiencies. Functions include demographic analysis, variable segmentation, and predictive modeling occurs on the analytical (Business Intelligence) side.

Integrated CRM software is often also known as "front office solutions." This is because they deal directly with the customer. Many call centers use CRM software to store all of their customer's details.

When a customer calls, the system can be used to retrieve and store information relevant to the customer. By serving the customer quickly and efficiently, and also keeping all information of a customer in one place, a company aims to make cost savings, and also encourage new customers.

CRM solutions can also be used to allow customers to perform their own service via a variety of communication channels. For example, you might be able to check your bank balance via your WAP phone without ever having to talk to a person, saving money for the company, and saving your time.

2. Analytical CRM In analytical CRM, data gathered within operational CRM and/or other sources are analyzed to segment customers or to identify potential to enhance client relationship. Customer analysis typically can lead to targeted campaigns to increase share of customer's wallet.

Examples of Campaigns directed towards customers are: 23

 Acquisition: Cross-sell, up-sell  Retention: Retaining customers who leave due to maturity or attrition.  Information: Providing timely and regular information to customers.  Modification: Altering details of the transactional nature of the customers' relationship.  Analysis typically covers but is not limited to:  Decision support: Dashboards, reporting, metrics, performance etc.  Predictive modeling of customer attributes  Strategy and Research Analysis of Customer data may relate to one or more of the following analyses:  Contact channel optimization  Contact Optimization  Customer Acquisition / Reactivation / Retention  Customer Segmentation  Customer Satisfaction Measurement / Increase  Sales Coverage Optimization  Fraud Detection and analysis  Financial Forecasts  Pricing Optimization  Product Development  Program Evaluation  Risk Assessment and Management Data collection and analysis is viewed as a continuing and iterative process. Ideally, business decisions are refined over time, based on feedback from earlier analysis and decisions. Therefore, most successful analytical CRM projects take advantage of a data warehouse to provide suitable data. Business Intelligence is a related discipline offering some more functionality as separate application software.

3. Collaborative CRM Collaborative CRM facilitates interactions with customers through all channels (personal, letter, fax, phone, web, e-mail) and supports co-ordination of employee teams and channels. It is a 24

solution that brings people, processes and data together so companies can better serve and retain their customers. The data/activities can be structured, unstructured, conversational and/or transactional in nature.

Collaborative CRM provides the following benefits:  Enable efficient productive customer interactions across all communications channels  Enables web collaboration to reduce customer service costs  Integrates call centers enabling multi-channel personal customer interaction  Integrates view of the customer while interaction at the transaction level

Research & Advisory The markets ended Monday marginally in the green, after opening weak due to concerns about Swine flu. The Indices were weak at the outset of the Tuesday ending the day in red. Markets surged on Wednesday on positive global cues and short covering in April 2009 derivatives contracts. The markets remained closed both on Thursday and Friday. The markets just ended the week positive, with the Sensex gaining 0.7% and the Nifty closing marginally lower by 0.2% Fundamental Analysis Fundamental analysis is one of the most useful tools that investors use when making decisions about which stocks they’re going to buy. It is a process of examining key ratios that show the current worth of a stock and the recent performance of a company.

Fundamental analysis is used to determine the amount of money a company can make and the kind of earnings an investor can expect.

Future earnings may be subject to interpretation but good earning histories create confidence among investors. The stock prices may increase and the dividends may pay out.

Stock market analysts determine whether a company is meeting its expected growth by examining the earnings that are reported by the company on a regular basis. If the company doesn’t meet its expected growth, the prices of its stocks usually experience a downturn.

There are a lot of tools that are used to determine the earnings and the value of a company on the stock market. Most of these tools rely on the financial statements released by the company. Details about the value of a company which include competitive advantages and ownership ratios between the management and the outside investors can be revealed through further fundamental analyses.

43

Fundamental analysis is for the rational man

 To make financial forecasts  To conduct a company stock valuation & predict its probable price evolution  To make a projection on its business performance  To evaluate its management and make internal business decisions  To calculate its credit risk

Technical Analysis

The art and science of examining stock chart data and predicting future stock market movements is called technical analysis. This style of analysis is used by investors who are often concerned about the nature and the value of the companies where they trade their stocks in. The holdings are usually shortterm since the investors drop the stocks once they reach their projected profit.

The belief that stock prices move in predictable patterns is the basis for technical analysis. The factors that influence the movement of the price are supposedly reflected in the stock market with great efficiency. These factors include company performance, economic status, and natural disasters. The efficiency, when coupled with historical trends, produces movements that can be analyzed and applied to the future movements of the stock market. Because the fundamental information about the potential growth of a company is not taken into account, technical analysis is not intended for long-term investments. Trades are entered and exited at precise times so technical analysts need to spend a lot of time watching the movements of the stock market. Investors can take advantage of both upswings and downswings in price by going either long or

44

short. In the event that the market doesn’t move as expected, the losses can be limited by stop-loss orders.

Hundreds of stock patterns have been developed over time.

Most of these patterns rely on the basic concepts of “support” and “resistance.” The level where downward prices are expected to rise from is called the support while the level where the upward prices are expected to reach before falling again is called the resistance. Once they hit the support or the resistance levels, the prices tend to bounce.

Training A training program can serve a range of diverse purposes, and organizations initiate training programs for many different reasons.

One of the strongest need of training is to respond to challenges presented by new technology.

47

METHODS OF TRAINING The most widely used methods of training used by organizations are classified into two categories: On-the-Job Training & Off-the-Job Training.

ON-THE-JOB TRAINING is given at the work place by superior in relatively short period of time. This type of training is cheaper & less time-consuming. This training can be imparted by basically four methods: Coaching is learning by doing. In this, the superior guides his subordinates & gives him/her job instructions. The superior points out the mistakes & gives suggestions for improvement.

Job Rotation: - In this method, the trainees move from one job to another, so that he/she should be able to perform different types of tasks. E.g. In banking industry, employees are trained for both backend & front-end jobs. In case of emergency, (absenteeism or resignation), any employee would be able to perform any type of job.

OFF THE JOB TRAINING is given outside the actual work place.

Lectures/Conferences:- This approach is well adapted to convey specific information, rules, procedures or methods. This method is useful, where the information is to be shared among a large number of trainees. The cost per trainee is low in this method.

Video Clips can provide information & explicitly demonstrate skills that are not easily presented by other techniques. Motion pictures are often used in conjunction with Conference, discussions to clarify & amplify those points that the film emphasized.

Simulation Exercise: - Any training activity that explicitly places the trainee in an artificial environment that closely mirrors actual working conditions can be considered a Simulation. Simulation activities include case experiences, experiential exercises, vestibule training, management games & role-play.

Cases: - present an in depth description of a particular problem an employee might encounter on the job. The employee attempts to find 48

and analyze the problem, evaluate alternative courses of action & decide what course of action would be most satisfactory.

Experiential Exercises: - are usually short, structured learning experiences where individuals learn by doing. For instance, rather than talking about inter-personal conflicts & how to deal with them, an experiential exercise could be used to create a conflict situation where employees have to experience a conflict personally & work out its solutions.

Vestibule Training: - Employees learn their jobs on the equipment they will be using, but the training is conducted away from the actual work floor. While expensive, Vestibule training allows employees to get a full feel for doing task without real world pressures.

Additionally, it minimizes the problem of transferring learning to the job.

Role Play: - Its just like acting out a given role as in a stage play. In this method of training, the trainees are required to enact defined roles on the basis of oral or written description of a particular situation.

Management Games: - The game is devised on a model of a business situation. The trainees are divided into groups who represent the management of competing companies. They make decisions just like these are made in real-life situations. Decisions made by the groups are evaluated & the likely implications of the decisions are fed back to the groups. The game goes on in several rounds to take the time dimension into account.

In-Basket Exercise: - Also known as In-tray method of training. The trainee is presented with a pack of papers & files in a tray containing, administrative problems & is asked to take decisions on these problems & are asked to take decisions on these within a stipulated time. The decisions taken by the trainees are compared with one another. The trainees are provided feedback on their performance.

49

RECOMMENDATIONS & CONCLUSION No doubt Training is a very powerful tool for the smooth functioning of the organization, but it needs to be used with care in order to derive all the benefits. Here are seven recommendations for getting the best out of this tool: 1. Learn about the needs and proficiency of each and every employee before an organization invests its effort, time & money on training. Its better to identify the needs & shortcomings in an employee before actually imparting training to him/her.

2. Experienced & skilled trainer, who possesses good amount of knowledge & understanding about the organization's objectives, individual abilities & the present environment, should give training.

3. Active participation from the trainees should be encouraged. There should be a two-way communication between the trainer & trainee.

4. Feedback should be taken from the trainees after the training is over, so that the organization comes to know about the deficiencies in the training program & also suggestions to improve upon the same.

5. Focus of training should be on priority development needs and to produce strong motivation to bring change in employees.

6. The cost incurred on the training program should not exceed its benefits.

7. The method or type of training should be very cautiously selected by the organization depending upon the organizations' resources & an employee's individual need for training.

Thus, training is a vital tool to cope up with the changing needs & technologies, & ever-changing environment. It benefits both the organization as well as the employees.

Training adopted by us at AngelWe adopted a procedural training to execute our given tasks. A procedure is a sequence of steps that must be followed to accomplish a task. These steps may be required a certain level of knowledge or have mental or physical skills associated with them. A procedure may be linear, that is, progress from one step to the next until the task is completed, or a procedure may have one or more decision points where the student will have to decide which branch of the procedure to follow next.

For short, simple, linear procedures, the following method of explanation and demonstration is recommended: a. The instructor demonstrates the entire procedure and explains each step as it is done. b. The instructor repeats the demonstration but has the trainee explain what actions are occurring. c. The trainee demonstrates the procedure and explains what he/she is doing at each step. d. The trainee demonstrates the procedure again so that the instructor can check for full mastery.

The instructor continues this "progressive parts" approach until the entire procedures is explained. It is sometimes appropriate to combine several simpler steps during the training or address a more complex step individually before combining it with the entire training.

For procedures that have decision points, an overview of the entire procedure is a good starting point. After that the procedure should be broken up into segments for further instruction. The decision points within a procedure are good break points for the segments. An instructor can talk about the sequence of steps prior a decision point, or the steps between decision points. Depending upon whether the segments are simple or complex, the methods outlined above can be used for each segment. The information needed to make

51

the decisions also needs to be covered at the appropriate point in the lesson. For more complex decision points, it is recommended that all segments be explained and demonstrated before discussing the decision points. It is easier for a person to make a more complex decision when they understand the steps that make up the alternative branches of the procedure.

Training Under Different DepartmentWe have been trained under following departments1-Commodities Commodity markets are markets where raw or primary products are exchanged. These raw commodities are traded on regulated commodities exchanges, in which they are bought and sold in standardized contracts.  Commodities are easy to Understand and have positive correlation with Inflation.  The Commodity market are global in nature , hence less risk for manipulation.  Every commodity have separate market in Itself and hence many such market is simulated at one single screen.  The trend in one commodity not necessarily have correlation with the trend of other.  Historically Commodities have outperformed the Stock Market .  Diversification through a different asset class.  Low Margins – 5% - 10% only

Problems faced at the time of training 53

Though we successfully executed our tasks in our training, we had to face few problems also and they are Client Data Sheet was not updated, most of them had been shown with wrong information.  Most of the clients were not giving appointments and some of them did not even talk on phone.  Many of the time when we went to meet the clients with whom appointments was fixed, after reaching the client’s place they said we are not available and not even interested.  A big problem was transportation, Most of the students are out of the state and not having vehicle, We faced lot many problems to meet the clients at different corners of Ahmedabad.  At angel while calling to the customers, it happened that we did not have sufficient phone available.  Training room was pre-occupied by full time joined fresher employee. We faced this problem only 2 to 3 times.  Variable strategy to execute the tasks  Wastage of time because of a poor time management by Angel

Suggestions to Improve 54

 There should be a fixed strategy for SIP training.  Team work should be there.  Data should be up to date, so that we can save the time.  Participation should be there.  We should utilize every second.  The MIS Procedure of company was not proper.

Industry Analysis Industry Analysis at Indian level 1. Introduction There are two types of market in India.

MONEY MARKET Money market is a market for debt securities that pay off in the short term usually less than one year, for example the market for 90days treasury bills. This market encompasses the trading and issuance of short term non equity debt instruments including treasury bills, commercial papers, bankers acceptance, certificates of deposits, etc.

In other word we can also say that the Money Market is basically concerned with the issue and trading of securities with short term maturities or quasi-money instruments. The Instruments traded in the money-market are Treasury Bills, Certificates of Deposits (CDs), Commercial Paper (CPs), Bills of Exchange and other such instruments of short-term maturities (i.e. not exceeding 1 year with regard to the original maturity) CAPITAL MARKET Capital market is a market for long-term debt and equity shares. In this market, the capital funds comprising of both equity and debt are issued and traded. This also includes private placement sources of debt and equity as well as organized markets like stock exchanges.

Capital market can be divided into Primary and Secondary Markets.

Primary Market In the primary market, securities are offered to public for subscription for the purpose of raising capital or fund. Secondary market is an 56

equity trading avenue in which already existing/pre- issued securities are traded amongst investors. Secondary market could be either auction or dealer market. While stock exchange is the part of an auction market, Over-the-Counter (OTC) is a part of the dealer market.

Secondary Market Secondary Market refers to a market where securities are traded after being initially offered to the public in the primary market and/or listed on the Stock Exchange. Majority of the trading is done in the secondary market. Secondary market comprises of equity markets and the debt markets.

For the general investor, the secondary market provides an efficient platform for trading of his securities. For the management of the company, Secondary equity markets serve as a monitoring and control conduit—by facilitating value-enhancing control activities, enabling implementation of incentive-based management contracts, and aggregating information (via price discovery) that guides management decisions.

Difference between the primary market and the secondary market In the primary market, securities are offered to public for subscription for the purpose of raising capital or fund. Secondary market is an equity trading avenue in which already existing/pre- issued securities are traded amongst investors. Secondary market could be either auction or dealer market. While stock exchange is the part of an auction market, Over-the-Counter (OTC) is a part of the dealer market.

Main financial products/instruments dealt in the secondary market  Equity: The ownership interest in a company of holders of its common and preferred stock. The various kinds of equity shares are as follows –  Equity Shares:

57

 An equity share, commonly referred to as ordinary share also represents the form of fractional ownership in which a shareholder, as a fractional owner, undertakes the maximum entrepreneurial risk associated with a business venture. The holders of such shares are members of the company and have voting rights. A company may issue such shares with differential rights as to voting, payment of dividend, etc.  Rights Issue/ Rights Shares: The issue of new securities to existing shareholders at a ratio to those already held.  Bonus Shares: Shares issued by the companies to their shareholders free of cost by capitalization of accumulated reserves from the profits earned in the earlier years.  Preferred Stock/ Preference shares: Owners of these kind of

shares are entitled to a fixed dividend or dividend calculated at a fixed rate to be paid regularly before dividend can be paid in respect of equity share. They also enjoy priority over the equity shareholders in payment of surplus. But in the event of liquidation, their claims rank below the claims of the company’s creditors, bondholders / debenture holders.  Cumulative Preference Shares: A type of preference shares on which dividend accumulates if remains unpaid. All arrears of preference dividend have to be paid out before paying dividend on equity shares.  Cumulative Convertible Preference Shares: A type of preference shares where the dividend payable on the same accumulates, if not paid. After a specified date, these shares will be converted into equity capital of the company.  Participating Preference Share: The right of certain preference shareholders to participate in profits after a specified fixed dividend contracted for is paid. Participation right is linked with the quantum of dividend paid on the equity shares over and above a particular specified level.

58

 Security Receipts: Security receipt means a receipt or other security, issued by a securitisation company or reconstruction company to any qualified institutional buyer pursuant to a scheme, evidencing the purchase or acquisition by the holder thereof, of an undivided right, title or interest in the financial asset involved in securitisation.  Government securities (G-Secs): These are sovereign (credit

risk-free) coupon bearing instruments which are issued by the Reserve Bank of India on behalf of Government of India, in lieu of the Central Government's market borrowing programme.

These securities have a fixed coupon that is paid on specific dates on half-yearly basis. These securities are available in wide range of maturity dates, from short dated (less than one year) to long dated (upto twenty years).  Debentures: Bonds issued by a company bearing a fixed rate of interest usually payable half yearly on specific dates and principal amount repayable on particular date on redemption of the debentures. Debentures are normally secured/ charged against the asset of the company in favour of debenture holder.  Bond: A negotiable certificate evidencing indebtedness. It is normally unsecured. A debt security is generally issued by a company, municipality or government agency. A bond investor lends money to the issuer and in exchange, the issuer promises to repay the loan amount on a specified maturity date. The issuer usually pays the bond holder periodic interest payments over the life of the loan. The various types of Bonds are as follows Zero Coupon Bond: Bond issued at a discount and repaid at a face value. No periodic interest is paid. The difference between the issue price and redemption price represents the return to the holder. The buyer of these bonds receives only one payment, at the maturity of the bond.  Convertible Bond: A bond giving the investor the option to convert the bond into equity at a fixed conversion price.

59

ďƒ˜ Commercial Paper: A short term promise to repay a fixed amount that is placed on the market either directly or through a specialized intermediary. It is usually issued by companies with a high credit standing in the form of a promissory note redeemable at par to the holder on maturity and therefore, doesn’t require any guarantee. Commercial paper is a money market instrument issued normally for a tenure of 90 days.

Treasury Bills: Short-term (up to 91 days) bearer discount security issued by the Government as a means of financing its cash requirements.

2.

62

COMMODITY EXCHANGES There are three categories:  NCDEX  MCX

.  NMCE A brief description of commodity exchanges are those which trade in particular commodities, neglecting the trade of securities, stock index futures and options etc.

In the middle of 19th century in the United States, businessmen began organizing market forums to make the buying and selling of commodities easier. These central marketplaces provided a place for buyers and sellers to meet, set quality and quantity standards, and establish rules of business.

Agricultural commodities were mostly traded but as long as there are buyers and sellers, any commodity can be traded. In 1872, a group of Manhattan dairy merchants got together to bring chaotic condition in New York market to a system in terms of storage, pricing, and transfer of agricultural products.

In 1933, during the Great Depression, the Commodity Exchange, Inc., was established in New York through the merger of four small exchanges – the National Metal Exchange, the Rubber Exchange of New York, the National Raw Silk Exchange, and the New York Hide Exchange.

The major commodity markets are in the United Kingdom and in the USA. In India there are 25 recognized future exchanges, of which there are three national level multi-commodity exchanges.

After a gap of almost three decades, Government of India has allowed forward transactions in commodities through Online Commodity Exchanges, a modification of traditional business known as Adhat and Vayda Vyapar to facilitate better risk coverage and delivery of commodities.

63

The three exchanges are:

1. National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) 2. Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (MCX) 3. National Multi-Commodity Exchange of India Limited (NMCEIL) All the exchanges have been set up under overall control of Forward Market Commission (FMC) of Government of India.

1. National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Limited (NCDEX) located in Mumbai is a public limited company incorporated on April 23, 2003 under the Companies Act, 1956 and had commenced its operations on December 15, 2003.This is the only commodity exchange in the country promoted by national level institutions.

It is promoted by ICICI Bank Limited, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC), National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).

It is a professionally managed online multi commodity exchange. NCDEX is regulated by Forward Market Commission and is subjected to various laws of the land like the Companies Act, Stamp Act, Contracts Act, Forward Commission (Regulation) Act and various other legislations.

2. Multi

4. National Multi-Commodity Exchange of India Limited (NMCEIL)

National Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited (NMCEIL) is the first de-mutualzed, Electronic Multi-Commodity Exchange in India. On 25th July, 2001, it was granted approval by the Government to organize trading in the edible oil complex.

It has operationalised from November 26, 2002. It is being supported by Central Warehousing Corporation Ltd., Gujarat State Agricultural Marketing Board and Neptune Overseas Limited. It got its recognition in October 2000.

Commodity exchange in India plays an important role where the prices of any commodity are not fixed, in an organized way.

Earlier only the buyer of produce and its seller in the market judged upon the prices. Others never had a say.

Today, commodity exchanges are purely speculative in nature.

Before discovering the price, they reach to the producers, end-users, and even the retail investors, at a grassroots level. It brings a price transparency and risk management in the vital market.

A big difference between a typical auction, where a single auctioneer announces the bids, and the Exchange is that people are not only competing to buy but also to sell.

By Exchange rules and by law, no one can bid under a higher bid, and no one can offer to sell higher than someone else’s lower offer. That keeps the market as efficient as possible, and keeps the traders on their toes to make sure no one gets the purchase or sale before they do.

65

NSE - A New ideology The broad objective for which the exchange was set up has made it to play a leading role in enlarging the scope of market reforms in securities market in India. During last one decade it has been playing the role of a catalytic agent in reforming the markets in terms of market microstructure and in evolving the best market practices keeping in mind the investors.

The Exchange is set up on a de-mutual zed model wherein the ownership, management and trading rights are in the hands of three different sets of people. This has completely eliminated any conflict of interest. This has helped NSE to aggressively pursue policies and practices within a public interest framework.

NSE's nationwide, automated trading system has helped in shifting the trading platform from the trading hall in the premises of the exchange to the computer terminals at the premises of the trading members located at different geographical locations in the country and subsequently to the personal computers in the homes of investors and even to hand held portable devices for the mobile investors. It has been encouraging corporation of membership in securities market.

It has also proved to be instrumental in ushering in scrip less trading and providing settlement guarantee for all trades executed on the Exchange. Settlement risks have also been eliminated with NSE's 66

innovative endeavors in the area of clearing and settlement viz., establishment of the clearing corporation (NSCCL), setting up a settlement guarantee fund (SGF), reduction of settlement cycle, implementing on-line, real-time risk management systems, dematerialization and electronic transfer of securities to name few of them.

As a consequence, the market today uses state-of-the-art information technology to provide an efficient and transparent trading, clearing and settlement mechanism. In order to take care of investors interest, it has also created an investors protection fund (IPF), that would help investors who have incurred financial loss due to default of brokers.

Ownership and Management the NSE The day-to-day management of the Exchange is delegated to the Managing Director and CEO who is supported by a team of professional staff. Therefore, though the role of trading members at NSE is to the extent of providing only trading services to the investors, the Exchange involves trading members in the process of consultation and participation in vital inputs towards decision making.

NSDL Prior to trading in a dematerialized environment, settlement of trades required moving the securities physically from the seller to the ultimate buyer, through the seller's broker and buyer's broker, which involved lot of time and the risk of delay somewhere along the chain.

The issuer wishing to have trading privileges for its securities satisfies listing requirements prescribed in the relevant statutes and in the listing regulations of the Exchange.

SWOT Analysis

Introduction SWOT Analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective.

A SWOT analysis must first start with defining a desired end state or objective. A SWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategic planning model. An example of a strategic planning technique that incorporates an objective-driven SWOT analysis is Strategic Creative Analysis (SCAN). Strategic Planning, including SWOT and SCAN analysis, has been the subject of much research. ďƒ˜ Strengths: attributes of the person or company that are helpful to achieving the objective. ďƒ˜ Weaknesses: attributes of the person or company that are harmful to achieving the objective.

85

ďƒ˜ Opportunities: external conditions that are helpful to achieving the objective. ďƒ˜ Threats: external conditions which could do damage to the business's performance.

Identification of SWOT is essential because subsequent steps in the process of planning for achievement of the selected objective may be derived from the SWOT. First, the decision makers have to determine whether the objective is attainable, given the SWOT. If the objective is NOT attainable a different objective must be selected and the process repeated.

The SWOT analysis is often used in academia to highlight and identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. It is particularly helpful in identifying areas for development.

Use of SWOT Analysis The usefulness of SWOT analysis is not limited to profitseeking organizations. SWOT analysis may be used in any decision-making situation when a desired end-state (objective) has been defined. Examples include: non-profit organizations, governmental units, and individuals. SWOT analysis may also be used in pre-crisis planning and preventive crisis management. SWOT analysis may also be used in creating a recommendation during a viability study.

86

SWOT-landscape analysis

The SWOT-landscape grabs different managerial situations by visualizing and foreseeing the dynamic performance of comparable objects according to findings by Brendan Kitts, Leif Edvinsson and Tord Beding (2000).

Changes in relative performance are continuously identified.

Projects (or other units of measurements) that could be potential risk or opportunity objects are highlighted.

SWOT-landscape also indicates which underlying strength/weakness factors that have had or likely will have highest influence in the context of value in use

Data Analysis The first and simplest analytical step in data analysis is to describe the data — for example, summarize its statistical attributes (such as means and standard deviations), visually review it using charts and graphs, and look at the distribution of values of the fields in your data. But data description alone cannot provide an action plan.

You must build a predictive model based on patterns determined from known results, then test that model on results outside the original sample. A good model should never be confused with reality (you know a road map isn’t a perfect representation of the actual 99

road), but it can be a useful guide to understanding your business.

Data analysis can be used for both classification and regression problems. In classification problems you’re predicting what category something will fall into – for example, whether a person will be a good credit risk or not, or which of several offers someone is most likely to accept. In regression problems you’re predicting a number such as the probability that a person will respond to an offer.

Indian Brokerage Industry Introduction With the fall in the turnover in the Equity segment by over 30 per cent since April, revenue of broking houses have taken a major hit. Compared with the previous few quarters, the net profits of many leading broking houses have nearly halved despite the revenues declining marginally. The results posted by broking firms have been extremely poor in line with the market conditions, having reported either a fall in net profit or, at best, only a marginal rise in their bottom line for the period. The worst-hit seems to be the broking firms which are facing challenges in their declining business apart from stringent reluctance of financial institutions to lend them money for working capital. Broking firms had an excellent rally in the previous fiscal and thus had extravagant plans of increasing their foothold across nation, and some of them even globally. With the current financial meltdown worldwide, most of them have not only put their expansion plans on hold but also are slowing down in current businesses. These firms were on a growth spree, adding branches and people across cities. The augmentation was also driven by the infusion of funds by the big private equity and foreign players wanting to invest in these broking outfits. The smaller broking outfits took a greater hit, as they struggled to meet their margin requirements due to liquidity constraints. Recently, trading terminals of 95 broker members were deactivated in the F&O segment and 29 deactivations occurred in the cash segment. In September, the terminals of 36 broker members were deactivated whereas in August it was only 11. There were 885 active trading members in the F&O 100

segment and 984 in the cash segment on NSE in October. The market scene appears bleak for the securities firms. Quite expected, these negative sentiments are reflecting in the stock prices of broking firms.

Most of them have fallen by more than 75% from their highs early this year. After banking stocks, broking outfits have faced the brunt in the current financial turmoil. When the macro conditions were fine, invariably stock markets did perform well. Similarly, the downtrend in the economy is also reflected in the stock market.

Limitations Definition of perfection differs from individuals to individuals. No matter how meticulous one is, the study that is completely based on responses from a vast variety of people cannot be free from limitations. Though the present study aimed to achieve the abovementioned objectives in full earnest and accuracy, it was hampered due to certain limitations. Some of the limitations of this study may be summarized as follows:  Selection of the people who are under consideration as sample for the study may not be the best sample selected.  Sample size was limited due to the limited period allocated for the

survey.

 The selection of people to cover the various types of commodity trading ranging from agro products to energy and metals like gold and silver was tedious and time consuming.  Getting accurate responses from the respondents due to their inherent Problems, personality traits and mood fluctuations was a very difficult task.  Some respondents had to be re-contacted as per their convenience of time.  Some of the area in which the survey is carried out was very un –hygienic and over crowded.
