ACKNOWLEGEMENT
Project work is never the work of an individual. It is more a combination of ideas, suggestions, and
contribution and work involving many jobs. One of the most important parts of writing a report is the
opportunity to thank all those who have contributed to it. The list of expression of thanks, no matter how
extensive, is always incomplete and inadequate. This acknowledgement is no exception.
I want to express my sincere gratitude towards who provided me with her expert guidance and invaluable
suggestion.
I would like to thank my classmates and all those who directly or indirectly helped me in one or the other
way in the successful completion of the project.

1.3 Organisational structure of Videocon
Figure1.3: Organisational structure of Videocon

1.4 Production structure
Cost cutting – Videocon was better positioned to shift the activities to low-cost locations and also it could
integrate the operations with the glass panel facility in India with the CPT manufacturing facilities acquired
from Thomson S.A. Videocon wanted to leverage its position in the existing parts of the business and this

acquisition would give it a strong negotiation position and could reduce impact of glass pricing volatility.
Videocon could also reduce the costs by upgrading and improving the existing production lines.
Vertical Integration – The acquisition helped Videocon in vertically integrating its existing glass-shell
business where it had been enjoying substantially high margins.[8] Videocon‟s glass division had the largest
glass shell plant in a single location. This gave the company an unrivalled advantage in terms of economies
of scale and a leadership position in the glass shell industry. The acquisition also gave Videocon a ready-
market for its glass business and it was part of Videocon‟s long-term strategy to have a global vertically-
integrated manufacturing facility.
Rationalization of Product Profile – Videocon modified its product profile to cater to the changing market
needs like moving away from very large size picture tubes to smaller ones.
Apart from the overall strategy Videocon also had a plan on the technological front. It wanted to improve the
setup for the production line and line speed post-merger. Its focus was to increase sales while reducing the
costs and thereby improving the productivity of the existing line. The company also wanted to foray in a big
way into LCD panels back-end assembly. On the sales front the company wanted to leverage on the existing
clients of Thomson and build relation as a preferred supplier to maximise sales. Also, Videocon could
benefit from OEM CTV business with the help of Videocon‟s CTV division, invest for new models and
introduction of new technologies.
Videocon has not been able to turn the plant around in Italy still. However it is getting support from the local
governments (which want to prevent job cuts) in form of grants. The government is in fact trying to set up a
Greenfield venture in form of a LCD manufacturing facility in partnership with Videocon. The banks are
also supporting Videocon and with help from all these quarters Videocon expects to turn around the plant in
Italy.[13] The Thomson plant has not turned around in Mexico as well and in fact production has been
reduced over there.InPoland,the situation is more promising and Videocon hopes that plant over there will
get in black in the very near future.[14] However the surprise has been in the Chinese market .Despite facing
a highly competitive market Videocon has managed to turn a plant around while the other is on its way. In
China Videocon is adopting a different strategy for manufacturing CTVs as the local players dominate the
market .It plans to supply these players by taking advantage of low-cost nature of mainland(the number
targeted by it about 6 million CPT,s)
1.5 VIDEOCON STRATEGIES
1.5.1 Multi-brand strategy
Videocon International was the first Indian company to adopt the strategy of multi-brands. Apart
from its mid-priced brand Videocon, the company now hawks Toshiba, a premium brand, and the
low-priced brands Akai and Sansui. The multi branding technology paid off as Videocon managed to

hold on to a combined market share of around 19.6 percent, with LG at 25.9 percent and Samsung at
around 13.8 percent.
Overall, the shift in the power to trade is probably one of the defining developments. It is important
since the TV companies themselves have taken it seriously and embarked on crafting longer-term
strategies to accommodate this development. The effectiveness of their strategy and the responses of
the other players promise to deliver a few more years of enterprising developments in the Indian TV
market.
1.5.2 Backward Integration
Videocon integrated backwards by getting into manufacture of components such as electron guns,
metal parts and deflection yokes for CTVs and compressors, and electric motors and plastic
components for households appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators and Air conditioners.
The group integrated further to get in to manufacture of glass panels and funnels, the key components
for the manufacture of color picture tubes.
“Videocon enjoys a unique synergy in the global CTV business from glass to CRT (Cathode Ray
tubes) to CTVs. - (From Sand to CTV). Together with other components for households appliances.
This high degree of backward integration bestows upon the company a unique benefit over
competition.

2.3 IMPORTANT COMPETITORS

LG ELECTRONICS
LG Electronics rightly understood the consumer motivations to create magnetic
products, price them strategically, position them sharply and keep making the
magnetism more potent. Having understood the finer differences in consumer
motivations, it opted for sharp- arrow „reasons-to-buy‟ differentiation over the
„blanket-all approach‟ taken by most of the other players. It is an aggressive
marketer. It focuses on low and medium price products.
SAMSUNG
Initially the strategy of Samsung in India was to create premium image by
emphasising global brand. After facing stiff competition from another Korean major-
LG, Samsung also started playing price game. In 2004 it reverted back to its premium
positioning, although it resulted in some loss of market share. In line with the Global
Digital Initiative of the Parent Company, Samsung India is seeking to acquire digital
leadership in India by introducing its digital ready televisions like the 40" LCD
Projection TV, 43" Projection TV and the Plano series of Flat Colour televisions.
ONIDA
Its popular devil ad although had engendered a strong emotional pull towards the
brand, technologically it represented no advancement. The company plugged the gap
by touting its digital technology. Like Videocon, it has also been able to hold its
market share. The world-class quality of Onida has enabled the company to make a
breakthrough on the export front. It has technical tie- up with the Japan Victor
Company, better known as JVC. So focused is Onida on positioning itself on the
premium, high- tech plank that it is even planning to push its own envelope on
obsolescence, much. The strategy is aimed at further broad basing the product
offering of the company, which has largely dominated the top-end of the television
market, across multiple market segments.
VIDEOCON
Videocon has always been a price player and has an image of a low price brand. This
entails providing more features at a given price vis-à-vis competitors. It has taken
over multinational brands to cater to unserved segments, like Sansui- to flank the
flagship brand Videocon in the low to mid priced segment, essentially to fight against
brands like BPL, Philips, Onida and taken over Akai- tail end brand for brands like

Aiwa.
Videocon is one of the largest manufacturers of television and its components in
India and thus has advantages of economies of scale and low cost due to
indigenisation. It has the widest distribution network in India with more than 5000
dealers in the major cities. It also has a strong base in the semi-urban and rural
markets. Due to its multi-brand strategy, it has at present multiple brands at the same
price point. This has led to a state of diffused positioning for its brands. It has also led
to a cannibalisation of sales among these brands. The flagship brand Videocon has
lost market share due to the presence of Sansui in the same segment. Because of
reduction in import duties on CPT the cost advantage of Videocon is also on the
decline. Hence it is facing rough weather and also trying to boost exports.
Besides understanding the strategy adopted by different players, several other factors-
industry growth, concentration and balance, corporate stakes, fixed cost, and product
differences need to be analysed to determine the extent of rivalry between the
existing Players.

In order to understand the industry better, we analyze the industry using Porter‟s Five Force Model-
- Threat to entry
- Rivalry of among existing firms
- Bargaining power of buyers
- Bargaining Power of Suppliers
- Threat of Substitutes
Threat to Entry-
Entering the CTV market isn‟t very easy. One of the most important features needed is a good
distribution system which isn‟t something that can be developed overnight.
Also a television today is a style statement. Therefore the brand plays an important role in
influencing the purchase decision. For a new company then entering this market, not having a
recognized brand name is a threat to entry.
Rivalry among existing firms-
There is strong competition among the current players. The main players being LG, Samsung, Onida,
Videocon, Philips, Sansui. Some of the regional players are- Hyundai and Haier are new entrants in
the CTV space in addition to a number of small regional players.
This increased competition has ensured that advertising costs are an integral part of the players‟ total
cost. A lack of product differentiation means that price is a competitive feature that intensifies
rivalry. The highest price reductions during 2002-03 to 2005-06 were in the 20inch and 21inch
CCTV category.
With the future being in LCDs, this market is likely to see price reductions future.
It is expected that realizations will fall with increased competition.
Bargaining Power of Buyers-
The TV market today is a consumer‟s market where the consumer has the upper hand with him
having the power of choosing from a variety if brands.
This bargaining power of the buyer has forced the players to offer credit facilities on sale, to provide
lower EMIs and excellent after-sales service.
The intense dealer competition also benefits the consumer in terms of prices and offers available.

Inventory carrying costs for television companies are high. This is a boon for the consumers as it
translates into higher bargaining power for the consume
Threat of Substitutes-
For a television, the substitute can only be a functional substitute. The functional use of a television
is to watch programs, live events etc. This today can also be done on a computer.
Theaters too can be a substitute to watching movies at home.
Today with various multiplexes and theaters providing screenings of live events such as sports
telecasts etc along with the luxury of good food and the opportunity to enjoy the event with a
number of other enthusiasts, the TV can be substituted if the TV is bought only to watch certain
events.
However if the television on considered to be a style statement and a lifestyle statement, then
consumers will seek to keep upgrading the type and the model of their television sets.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers-
PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) & CRTs (Cathode Ray Tube) are key raw materials in the production
of CTVs.
CRT accounts for 46-48 per cent of the total raw material costs of a CTV. PCBs and housing
components account for 33-39 per cent of total raw material costs.
Domestic CPTs prices tend to follow Global price trends. Therefore the suppliers do not have much
of bargaining power in this regard.
Cabinets are sourced from plastic manufacturers and as these manufacturers supply to different
industries, they therefore do have a bargaining power, especially in comparison to CRT suppliers.

3.2 4P’s
The 4Ps includes the Product, Price, Place and promotion.
Product Mix
Product mix is the set of all product and items a particular seller offers for sale. Product mix consists of
various product lines.
The width of a product mix refers to how many different product lines the company carries. The Videocon
television has product mix width of five lines. I.e. plasma, LCD, Slim, flat and Conventional.
The length of a product mix refers to the total number of items in the mix.
i.e. for the line of LCD the length is 2 as it has two items 50” PDP and 42” PDP.
The depth of the product mix refers to how many variants are offered of each product in the line, i.e. For
LCD the depth will be 2. As Videocon is offering only one product in 50” PDP and 42” PDP.
The three product-mix dimensions permit the company to expand its business in three ways.
It can add new product lines, thus widening its product mix.
It can lengthen each product lines.
It can add more product variants to each product and deepen its product mix.

In the product mix of
Videocon, it is having 37 different models, which gives them their product line Depth.
PLASMA
Plasma television technology is similar to the technology used in a fluorescent light bulb. The display itself
consists of cells. Within each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is
injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process.
The main advantage of Plasma over CRT technology is that, by utilizing a sealed cell with charged plasma
for each pixel, the need for a scanning electron beam in eliminated, which, in turn, eliminates the need for a
large Cathode Ray Tube to produce video images. This is why traditional televisions are shaped more like
boxes and Plasma televisions are thin and flat.

Market segmentation is the process in marketing of dividing a market into distinct subsets (segments) that
behave in the same way or have similar needs. Because each segment is fairly homogeneous in their needs
and attitudes, they are likely to respond similarly to a given marketing strategy. They are likely to have
similar feelings and ideas about a marketing mix comprised of a given product or service, sold at a given
price, distributed in a certain way and promoted in a certain way.
The process of segmentation is distinct from targeting (choosing which segments to address) and positioning
(designing an appropriate marketing mix for each segment). The overall intent is to identify groups of
similar customers and potential customers; to prioritize the groups to address; to understand their behavior;
and to respond with appropriate marketing strategies that satisfy the different preferences of each chosen
segment.
Segments based on Income
Plasma: Income group of more than 50,000
LCD: Income bracket of Rs 20,000 and above
Slim: Consumer in the income bracket of Rs 9000-15000
Flat: Consumer in the income bracket of 7000-12000
Conventional: income bracket of Rs 3000-6000
Segments based on social class
Plasma: rich class
LCD: upper middle class and rich class
Slim: middle class
Flat: middle and lower middle class
Conventional: lower economic class.

Benefit Segmentation:
Conventional, Flat screen Slim, LCD, and Plasma can also segmented on the basis of benefits that an end
consumer would receive from them.
User Status:
TV market can be classified into non users of TV and potential users in term of graduating to a higher
segment like slim, LCD,Plasma from basic conventional TV.
Loyalty status:
On the basis of Loyalty status
Hardcore Loyal: brand loyal to Videocon for a long time in terms of purchasing products of Videocon
Shifting Loyal: who shift loyalty from other brands to another
Switchers: not loyal to any brands so attract them to Videocon and convert they brand loyal.
TARGETING:
Once the firm has identified its marketing-segment opportunities, it has to decide how many and which ones
to target. Marketers are increasingly combining several variables in an effort to identify smaller, better-
defined target groups.
The decisions involved in targeting strategy include:
* Which segments to target?
* How many products to offer
* Which products to offer in which segments
In premium segments like flat screens and FDPs the growth in sales has been many times the industry
growth. More importantly, high end product sales are no longer restricted to metros. Consumer in tier-2
cities seems to be as evolved in lifestyle needs. The consumer profile, too, has changed. Higher disposable
incomes, greater aspirations and younger demographic have increased demands for the technologies. And
Videocon is targeting this segment.

POSITIONING:
Positioning has come to mean the process by which marketers try to create an image or identity in the minds
of their target market for its product, brand, or organization. It is the 'relative competitive comparison' their
product occupies in a given market as perceived by the target market.Once the competitive frame of
reference for positioning has been fixed by defining the customer target market and nature of competition,
marketers can define the appropriate points-of-difference and points-of parity associations.
Points of Parity (POPs) are associations that are not necessarily unique to the brand but may in fact be shared
with other brands. They represent necessary-but not necessarily sufficient-conditions for brand choice.
Videocon's Points-of-Parity are good quality Picture and good sound.
Points-of-Difference (PODs) are attributes or benefits consumers strongly associates with a brand, positively
evaluate, and believe that they could not find to the same extent with a competitive brand.
Videocon's POD is the quality product with low cost.
With the strong backward integration Videocon can provide the products with low cost.
Thus, Videocon is positioned itself as a reliable and value-for-money product
3.4 DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS IN THE INDUSTRY
The Refrigerator companies in the industry use different distribution channels to reach the customer. These
are as follows:
1. In this type of channel the company uses its sales representatives to deal with the dealers directly. The
dealers place the order through the sales representatives who visit them periodically, and the products are
delivered directly from the company.
Some companies appoint Direct Dealers who act as their Franchisee Outlets or their Exclusive showroom.

Figure 10: DISTRIBUTION CHANNELS
2. In this channel of distribution the company appoints distributors on the basis of District/ Population /No
of Dealers to be handled by one distributor. The area of operation and its potential is also taken into
consideration.
Some of the companies make the distributor totally responsible from appointing the dealers to providing
after sales service.

3. In this channel of distribution the company appoints Distributors as well as Direct Dealers. The company
appoints distributors to deal with small dealers who order small quantities. With the dealers who have good
potential and sales the company deals directly. The Korean Multinational follow this channel where they
appoint Distributors for upcountry towns and direct dealers for big cities and major towns eg. Ahmedabad.

4. In this channel the company appoints a C&F agent who acts on behalf of the company. The C&F agent
is totally responsible for appointment of Distributors and Direct Dealers. He sells to both the Distributors
and the Direct Dealers at the same rates.

CHAPTER 6: FINDINGS
FINDINGS
With strategically located manufacturing bases and an enviable distribution network of around 90 branch
offices, 10,000 distributors & 400 after-sales service centers across India, VIL enjoys a unique 80% plus
penetration in the market place.
A high degree of backward integration ensures that VIL has most of the vital components under its control
and bestows upon it unique benefits over competition – uninterrupted supply, shorter turnaround time, cost
advantage and quick adaptation to changing customer needs.
VIL is looking to strengthen its presence through a host of big ticket acquisitions/asset buyouts – Daewoo
Electronics (South Korea), Chunghwa Picture Tubes (Taiwan), Pioneer (Japan) and other brown-field
expansions will help VIL expand its horizons.
VIL‟s glass division, VNG, is the largest single location glass shell plant, enjoying economies of scale and a
leading position in the global glass shell industry. Additionally, integration of its acquired Thomson Colour
Picture Tube (CPT) plants with its Indian business would not only reduce the cost of production, but also
give its glass shell units a ready market.
The Thomson acquisition includes R&D centres and access to over 2,000 patents, which would enable VIL
to launch new products as well as counter the threat posed by the conventional TV market being rapidly
overtaken by hi-tech products in overseas markets.
Increasing demand & high prices in the oil & gas industry will not only lead to improved realizations, but
along with low operating costs that the Ravva oil & gas field enjoys, it can translate into a bonanza for VIL.
VIL has earmarked USD 13 MM (FY07) & USD 24 MM (FY08) as capex for its oil & gas business, in order
to increase the extraction from the field. It has also embarked upon Infill Well Drilling and exploration &
production of three new blocks; LM-403, Back Fault Block & LO-110, all in the Ravva field. The probable
reserves in the Ravva Oil field are estimated to be as high as 400 MM barrels, of which only about 160 MM
barrels have been produced. Thus, a huge upside potential exists for the company.
VIL is exhibiting substantial panache by fruitfully working towards bidding for and more often than not,
attaining exploration and production rights in many countries around the world. It is well on its way to
earning remarkable profits & achieving a prominent global standing.

CHAPTER 7: CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS
Turbulent is the word that aptly describe the scenario in CTV industry last financial year. Marketers by
frequent price cuts and larger than live Marketing game plans, competition reached its new highs and lows.
It is no longer sufficient to just be competitive, a company which has to survive has got to have competitive
advantage. One needs to take strategic initiative in the short run to achieve the desired “positioning” in
future. One has to foresee „tomorrow‟.
Understanding competition today involves three levels:
Competition for intellectual leadership for new ideas that create new advantages.
Competition for translating these ideas into product/service faster than others.
Competition for market share.
Do not nature any PARADIGMS because today “anything is possible”
Search for newer markets than expanding your customer base.
Come out with state of the art, feature packed affordable and competitive advantageous products.
Set Benchmarks for growth.
Improve up on distribution channels for viable coverage of the market.
Wear out competition through trend setting, inimitable tactical moves based on our infrastructure strengths.
The strategic intent should be clear down the management.
Work on your strengths i.e. Infrastructure, financial base, backward integration.
POP and MERCHANDISING material should be mad as per international market.
CORPORATE TRAINING PROGRAMME for Development of manpower from external faculty.
We have so far identified the various areas on which Videocon and other major Indian companies need to
improve upon to achieve the desired level of competitiveness. Only these improvements would give
Videocon and the other Indian companies base to compete with the MNCs and help the Indian companies to
reduce the impact of MNCs on the Indian Market in the future. Indian manufacturers will have to react
quickly because any delay in reacting to the threat posed by the MNCs would only give the MNCs time to
establish themselves in the market. With their expertise and financial capacity they would be nearly
impossible to compete with once they get a firm foot hold in the market. The future

But the battle has only started, and the foreign companies are here for the long term. They can sustain losses
for years to come in order to gain market share. What they are doing at present, is building up distribution
networks to cover every nook and corner of the country and, setting up manufacturing facilities.
Only those Indian manufactures which have a strong focus on manufacturing and technological up gradation
will survive in the long run, although with a much smaller market share than they have at present. Small
companies will be sidelined totally and will exit from the CTV market altogether.
Videocon has always been driven by its Value -for-money strategy. The company needs to identify critical
success factor and work assiduously towards achieving it.
SUGGESTIONS
To strengthen and maintain & its leadership status, the Videocon group has clearly charted out its course for
the future. Aggressive development is in full swing at the R & D Centres to bring out state-of-the-art
technologies including True Flat, Slim, Extra Slim, Plasma & LCDs, at the earliest. Cost rationalization
processes - are in various stages - including rationalizing factories in Europe, increasing automation and
improvement of efficiency in China, accessing flass shells from India for international CPT facilities and a
lot more - are in various stages of implementation Internationally all existing client relationships are being
strengthened. The cost competitiveness and increase in capacity in Polland has opened up big opportunities
in the OEM business. Last but not the least, in the domestic market consolidation with multiple brands paves
the way for an unassailable lead in the market.
In the Oil & Gas business, having all the basic operator capabilities of a prospecting entity, the group is
looking to add more explorations and production depth as also oil bearing assets. The group will also get into
gas distribution in India significantly.
