MARKETING DEPARTMENT



 INTRODUCTION:

Marketing is a process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and
want by creating and exchanging products and value with others.

A market consists of all the potential customers sharing a particular need or want
who might be willing & able to engage in exchange to satisfy the need or want. The concept
of market brings us full circle to the concept of marketing. Marketing means working with
the markets to actualize potential exchanges for the purpose of exchanging human needs and
wants.

“A market may be considered as a convenient meeting place where buyers and
sellers gaiter to gather for exchange of goods and services.”

The unit of Aditya Birla Insularor Ltd. has a very efficient and excellent marketing
department, which tries to provide maximum satisfaction to the customers while having
reasonable, profits on the other hand.



PRODUCT RELATED INFORMATION:

 Product Life Cycle: -

The life cycle of the product is similar to the life cycle of the human being.
The Product life cycle is an attempt to recognize distinct stage on the sales history of
the product.

A unit of Aditya Birla INSRULATION Ltd. is passing from the maturity
stage so this company can makes changes in products and its technology as adopting
horizontal as adopting horizontal spinning machine for same deniers. Development of
coning machine includes better designs and effort to enable up graduation in product
quality and quality control system.

As a human being each product or unit has its own life cycle, which starts with
its production and ends with its stoppage. Whatever may be the starting strategy that
will not be same as other strategy. The product has different marketing strategy;
wording to their capacity in the market within some period of time product will
change its price, packing, etc. because of the competition in market i.e. your strength
is your competitors weakness and your opportunity is your competitors threat.

Indian unit of Aditya Birla insulator Ltd., is passing from the maturity stage so
this company can makes changes in products and its technology as adopting
horizontal as adopting horizontal spinning machine for same deniers. Development of
coning machine includes better designs and effort to enable up graduation in product
quality and quality control system.



PRICING METHOD AND STRATEGY:

Pricing is the key factor, which remarkably contribute to the sales operations. Price
may be defined as, “ The value of product attributes expressed in monetary terms
which a consumer pay or is expected to pay in exchange and anticipation of expected
offered utility.” Price is the only element in the marketing-mix that generates revenue.

The company has to consider many factors in setting its pricing policy:

• Pricing objectives
• Determining demand
• Estimating costs
• Analyzing competitors prices and offers
• Pricing methods
• Selecting final price

In unit has not adopted any clear pricing policy but it pursues the mixture of following
pricing strategies.

 Competition oriented pricing policy:

Under this policy, all manufacturers meet together at Mumbai and they fix maximum
price level by negotiating with each other. Sometimes the Co. also uses the prestige pricing
method because it believes that the product with higher quality can attract the customer with
higher price.

 Demand oriented pricing policy:

Under this policy, the company uses method of pricing at market. This helps to avoid
the price competition and price war in the market.



 Cost oriented pricing method:

Under this policy, the company uses the method of target pricing. It fixes a target
return of total cost. It uses break-even analysis for deciding cost plus pricing which helps in
determining the level of output.

PROMOTION MIX:

“Promotion consists of those activities that are designed to being a
company’s goods or services to the favorable attention of customer.”

Every company is inevitably cast into the role of communicator and
promoter.

Sales promotion consists of a decrease collection of incentives tools,
mostly short termed designed to stimulate quicker on greater purchase of
particular products or services by consumer or the trade sale promotion yield
faster & more measurable products or services by consumers or the trade sales
promotion yield faster sales.



FINANCE DEPARTMENT



INTRODUCTION:

 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT CAN BE DEFINED AS:

‘The management of the finance of a business/ organization in order to achieve
financial objectives.’

Taking a commercial business as the most common organizational structure, the key
objectives of financial management would be to:
• Create wealth for the business
• Generate cash
• Provide an adequate return on investment bearing in mind the risks that the business
is taking and the resources invested.

There are three key elements to the process of financial management:

 Financial Planning:

Management needs to ensure that funding is available at the right time to meet the
needs of business. In the short term, funding may be needed to invest in equipment and
stocks, pay employees and fund sales made on credit.

In the medium and long term, funding may be required for significant additions to the
productive capacity of the business or to make acquisitions.

 Financial Control:

Financial control is a critically important activity to help the business ensure
that the business is meeting its objectives.
