Answer Posted / abhivirthi tax and industrial
India is an agriculture based country and maximum number of people came from villages or under-developed cities, semi-developed cities. The persons hailing from undeveloped cities seem to be very economical and they want to save money instead of lavish expenses. So before visiting a super market or a place where all things are available, for purchasing anything, they will enquire the rates of each and every commodity and if the rate of commodity is less when compared to that of other places, then only they will enter into the shop for purchases. Small dealers having very small place of business in a particular commodity concentrates the quality of the product as well as price and sells the same in their shop at very low margin. The small dealers are having much more experience in business in buying and selling even they were not educated in colleges. Their costumes are very simple and their shops were not provided fancy lightings and even they may not have staff for assistance in business. Hence their day-to-day expenses are very low and hence the very low margin earned by them will give more profit after deducting their minimum expenses.
Big corporate sectors like Subhiksha Retails, purchases goods in wholesale at a very low price and sells the same at a very low margin. But their shops are big in size with maximum lightings and educated staff strength. They were not flexible with the customers and the customers’ expectation of certain product’s quality was not fulfilled. Even though the corporate sectors try to give quality products to the customers, some customers may not be able to purchase such products. For example a poor housewife wants to purchase 100 grams of any kind of dhall or peas or any other product the same will not be available in Corporate sector shops because they will simply pack the goods in 250 grams, 500 Grams or 1 Kilo. In such cases the packing material’s cost increases i.e. minimum of Rs.0.40 per kilo (for Polythene cover). Such small customers entry into the corporate shops reduces which in turn reduces the sales turnover. In retail small shops such goods will be sold in loose without packing material cost and small shops will give price discount orally. If the Corporate Sectors who wants to sell retail consumer goods, they should reduce the administration expenses like space rent, electricity expenses, staff salary, publicity expenses, packing expenses etc and avoid free gifts, and they should concentrate only in quality and minimum price when compared to nearby shops. Customer’s satisfaction should be given top priority instead of human resources management. If these were followed each and every Corporate Sector Retail outlet will become everyone’s favourite and there will be no failure in trade or business.

Case Study Please read the case given below and answer the questions given at the end. One afternoon in June 1972, Rao, industrial engineer of P.M.A. company, was called to the office of his immediate superior V.R. Naik, the production manager. Naik said, “Rao, I want to discuss a situation in the production department. A lot of people feel that Govindan is not the right man for the Assistant Superintendent’s position. The President and others have decided that I have got to fire Govindan or at least move him out of production. Everyone wants to fire Govindan, but I won’t do it to him. I was talking with Bhadra this morning, and we decided that you might be able to make use of Govindan in your department.” Rao was surprised by both the information, and the proposal. Naik concluded his comments with, “Rao, I am asking you to take Govindan. You can say ‘No’. But then he gets fired. I have told Govindan this. Also, Govindan knows that if he goes with you he will take a pay cut. However, I think you can make use of him both to your own and his satisfaction. You are, anyway, carrying out an in-process quality control, and you might be able to make good use of Govindan in view of his long technical experience of production work. Think it over, and let me know by tomorrow.” Rao thought over the matter. PMA company had been a successful enterprise until March 1972 at which time it suffered a sharp decline of profits : sales had fallen off, and production costs had risen. The President adopted three measures which he hoped would improve the condition. First, by creating an Industrial Engineering Department for establishing work standards on all production operations, to determine which manufacturing costs were out of line and where remedial action should be taken. Rao, 28 years old, who had been with the company for two years in the Purchasing department, was selected. Rao had B.E. and MBA degrees to his credit. What he lacked in his business experience he made up by his eagerness to learn. He was ambitious and liked by his associates. He wanted a transfer from Purchasing to Production for better opportunities for advancement. Secondly, he consulted a Management Consultation firm to make a study of the Production Department. They pointed out that the chain of command was too long from Production Manager through Plant Superintendent through Assistant Superintendent to Foremen. They recommended the elimination of the position of Assistant Superintendent. Thirdly, he engaged an Industrial Psychologist to appraise all the Supervisory Personnel. Govindan had been with the company for 20 years since its founding and during this period had worked on every production operation, and his last 11 years had been in supervisory capacity. His manners were rough and aggressive, he had little formal education. The industrial Psychologist’s report about Govindan contained the following points: (i) Evaluation for the position of Assistant Superintendent : Not good enough. (ii) Capacity for good human relations in supervision : Will have friction frequently. (iii) Need for development counseling: Counseling greatly needed. (iv) General evaluation: Govindan had a good ability profile. He suffers from a sense of inferiority. He does not like the responsibility of making decisions. His supervision is that of Autocratic type. Though he has the ability, as far as his personality make-up is concerned, he is out of place in the present position. Questions: 1. What is the problem in the case? Explain. 2. Explain Govindan’s behavior and work experience vis-à- vis the psychologist’s report. 3. How do you see Naik’s suggestion to Rao? Give reasons. 4. What are Rao’s considerations in taking a decision? What should he do? Explain.
