INTRODUCTION AND NATURE OF JOB ASSIGNED

Introduction:
InTRM Solutions Pvt. Ltd, co-founded by highly experienced Industry professionals is
headquartered in New Delhi India, is a fastest growing solution provider in the field of
Education, IT, Consulting and Event Management. We have continuously expanded our
7

operation and currently operate in all major cities of India. With efforts of a strong team of
committed, dedicated and highly trained technical experts and state of the art Technological
infrastructure, we provide quality services to meet the over evolving need of our clients,
directly and through our business partners. Combining award winning experiences,
professional expertise, and innovative initiatives, our group provides customers with relevant
products and quality services.
We carry business associates in one side to jointly work hand in hand ensuring customers
needs are catered up to their satisfaction combining local flavor and principal support. On the
other side we have partnered with global technology venders to disseminate the knowledge
flow from top of the ladder to bottom.
The main objective of these companies are to provide the best services to their customer in
low cost with their competitor. They offer more value added service in marginal
cost.
Occasionally
they
give
some
offers
for
the
benefit
of
the
customers and retailer and distributor.
The whole summer internship with inTRM Solutions Pvt. Ltd. has been full of learning and
sense of contribution towards the organization. In this project the great emphasis is given to
the customer minds in respect to preferring the needs and wants of the customer is taken into
consideration.
According to the study of the markets, it is being observed that there are many players
available in the markets and some of them are really doing well. The needs and wants of the
client taken into consideration.
I hope according to the market study, New Delhi is one of the potential markets
for the telecom service because a single person uses many phone numbers to attend the
multiple calls of customers.
Market Mapping is a distinct, well-codified methodology for organizations seeking to align
their marketing strategies and processes and/or product development priorities more closely
with the problems that customers need to solve most urgently.
It is particularly well suited to situations in which the primary mode of product or service
distribution is via indirect channels (e.g., distributors, value-added resellers, retail, etc.).
Market Mapping integrates the best of three generalized approaches to marketing process
improvement. Its explicit objective is to generate organizational momentum for specific
change, while avoiding the pitfalls to which each approach alone can be vulnerable:
1) Introspective marketing process mapping and product feature/function analysis can
provide an essential baseline of information and insight. By itself, however, this approach
lacks traction in confronting and examining managerial bias and does not provide the
collective reality check of fresh, direct customer input.
2) In-depth market researchon its ownis often rejected, marginalized, or Ignored when it
conflicts with managers trusted mental models of customerneeds and market dynamics. It
can also fail in accurately identifying customers deepest problems and the alternative
solutions and strategies they employ to solve them.

3) Facilitated executive brainstorming, strategy, and decision-making workshops,while


valuable in context, can easily float off into feel-good fantasy, or devolveinto political
infighting among product, function, or other organizational silos.
Such sessions tend to be useful only when ventilated by plenty of new data onboth internal
processes and external realities.
Market Mapping has been applied for over a decade across a range of industries including life
sciences, financial services, high tech manufacturing, and consumer products. It typically
includes the following steps (adjustable to fit specific client requirements):
Broad examination of current marketing processes; collection of internal data on product
features and product line scope; analysis of current market positioning,competition, and
effectiveness of recent marketing campaigns.
Executive brainstorming workshop(s) to generate hypotheses (often by marketsegment)
about customer problems, perceived alternative solutions, and Compellingly differentiating
attributes that customers desire.
In-depth semi-quantitative market input to test specific hypotheses.
Market Mapping workshop to examine hypotheses in light of market input.
Decision-making workshop(s) to further assimilate data and to make choicesabout what to
change in the marketing mix and how to go about it.

Why Would You Create a Market Map?


1. Figure out What to Hire Next
Do you know exactly what role youll hire next? Do you even know if you can afford the
role? Getting an understanding of how your (often larger) competitors structure their
companies will give you a vision for your own future. Its valuable to know how much you
need to pay a top-level Marketing Manager, so that you can decide to quit outsourcing at the
right time. You can also figure out job titles and whether you need a Head of Growth because
HoG is a cool acronym (to pull a random example out of the air.
If youre right at the cusp of growing into a larger organization, knowing the set up of your
larger competitors will help you see your own next step. Perhaps your #1 Competitor has a
marketing team of five & you like their setup. You can use a market map outlining roles and
showing how each one contributes to your companys success to convince your team of the
value in adding a person to your team.

2. Identify & Attract High Quality Passive Candidates


Of course, the core reason you put together a Market Map is to begin attracting high quality
candidates to an open role (otherwise, why do it at all, right?). A market map allows you to
approach candidates directly, confident that your role will be of interest and in the right salary
ballpark.
9

For example, one recruitment organization put an executive marketing position for a wellknown brand on the major job role sites an exciting opportunity but didnt receive any
quality leads. However, because they had a market map already developed, they knew who to
contact. When asked, many of the candidates who eventually were contacted & interviewed,
they said they had seen the job role but didnt apply. They needed encouragement, an
invitation, to join. This is the difference that Market Mapping can make in your recruitment
processes.

3. Keep Tabs on People You Meet


Its possible that the recent grad you met at networking drinks last Friday will be the right
person to take over your marketing functions in two years time. The fact that you remember
meeting them two years prior and can congratulate them on their career ascension stands you
in good stead of landing them for your role. Keeping a map of people you know who may be
useful to your company in the future can be useful in many different settings.

How Do You Create a Market Map?


Market Mapping is typically a term only used in larger companies because it used to take
significant resources to build up a comprehensive and useful market map. As with everything
though, times they are a-changing! Social networks like LinkedIn and anonymous
information sharing websites now allow anyone to put together a simple market map.

1. Identify Your Competitors


The more market map sources you have, the more time it will take to put together and
maintain. ID who your competitors are, specifically focusing on those who represent what
you would like to be like in a few years. ID companies that house employees with the skills
you want in your own team someday. Include a smattering of different sized orgs so that you
can figure out a general pathway from small to big.

2. Decide What Information You Need to Know


Youll get the best value from your time by focusing your market map on the areas most
helpful to you. Dont try to map every employee of each of your competitors. Whats the first
role you think you want to hire? Focus on just this role across all of your competitors and
perhaps the roles immediately around it.

3. Research the Roles and Folks Who Have Them


LinkedIn has made market mapping significantly easier. Now you can get a rough idea of the
roles of your competitors and who is filling the functions in those roles with just a few
minutes of searching. Put these into a spreadsheet or a mapping software somewhere you
can save the info and access it later down the track.

10

4. Get Additional Information


You can even check out how much people in roles like the ones youre thinking about are
earning with Glassdoor.com or by checking out the roles posted on AngelList. Even if they
dont list your exact competitors, chances are that a similar role will be on one of those sites
and you can assign a probable salary to future candidates.
Once you gather all this information, you should have a pretty good idea of what roles you
need to hire, what your competitors are doing, what potential candidates look like, and how
much money youll need to pay. This information will make it easier for you to figure out
whether you need to staff up the roles youre thinking about and whether you can afford it.
Even if you dont want to dedicate the resources to building a comprehensive market map
across a particular section of your industry, its a good idea to start compiling a list of people
you meet or come across that may assist you in the future. You never know when the
information you have gathered will be useful!

CHAPTER - 2

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Industry overview

The service sector consists of the "soft" parts of the economy, i.e. activities where people
offer their knowledge and time to improve productivity, performance, potential, and
sustainability, what is termed affective labor. The basic characteristic of this sector is the
production of services instead of end products. Services (also known as "intangible goods")
12

include attention, advice, access, experience, and discussion. The production


of information is generally also regarded as a service, but some economists now attribute it to
a fourth sector, the quaternary sector.
The tertiary sector of industry involves the provision of services to other businesses as well as
final consumers. Services may involve the transport, distribution and sale of goods from
producer to a consumer, as may happen in wholesaling and retailing, or may involve the
provision of a service, such as in pest control or entertainment. The goods may be
transformed in the process of providing the service, as happens in the restaurant industry.
However, the focus is on people interacting with people and serving the customer rather than
transforming physical goods. The major growth in this sector also involves the transfer of
funds from the governmental to the contractual profit, non-profit and hybrid sectors of the
economy. Anticipated growth in the category of "personal care aides" or "home care aides"
will involve increase to 1,468,000 and 1,723,900, respectively. For the last 100 years, there
has been a substantial shift from the primary and secondary sectors to the tertiary sector in
industrialized countries. This shift is called tertarisation. The tertiary sector is now the largest
sector of the economy in the Western world, and is also the fastest-growing sector. In
examining the growth of the service sector in the early Nineties, the globalist Kenichi
Ohmae noted that:
In the United States 70 percent of the workforce works in the service sector; in Japan, 60
percent, and in Taiwan, 50 percent. These are not necessarily busboys and live-in maids.
Many of them are in the professional category. They are earning as much as manufacturing
workers, and often more.
Also known as the tertiary sector, the development of a country's services sector is an
indicator of its economic development. India's services sector is a vital component of its
economy, as it presently accounts for around 60 per cent of its gross domestic product (GDP).
It has matured considerably during the last few years and has been globally recognized for its
high growth and development.
The growth in the services sector in India is expected to be around 5.6 per cent in FY 15
owing, particularly, to the growth in the IT sector. The services sector in India comprises a
wide range of activities, including trading, transportation, communication, financial, real
estate and business services, and community, social and personal services.

Education Industry:

1. Forecasts for Growth in the Education Industry: Silber, Jeffrey. (2012). Equity

13

Research: Education and Training. BMO Capital Markets Report.


This report anticipates long-term favorable trends in all sectors of the education industry.
Growth in the for-profit education sector has slowed, but is expected to grow in revenue by
4.1 percent annually for the next five years, and continue to outpace not-for-profit peers.
Technology and results-oriented services are thought to be engines of growth across the
industry. Key growth drivers and risks in each industry section (child care, K-12,
postsecondary, corporate training) are presented and analyzed. The authors find that the
recession depressed demand for private childcare, K-12 and corporate training services, while
post-secondary organizations benefitted. Important education legislation is slated for
reauthorization in the coming years, but the forecast is contingent on both Congressional and
Presidential election results. The report includes a side-by-side comparison of each
Presidential candidates stance on issues impacting for-profit education providers. .

2. Education Sector Fact book 2012: GSV Asset Management. (2012). Education Sector Fact
book 2012.
This fact book presents relevant data on a wide array of education topics in tables, maps, graphs
and other visualizations. Chapters include Global Data, U.S. Data, Distance and Online
Learning, Market Statistics, and Industry Leaders. Particular subsections of interest within U.S.
Data include K-12, Charter Schools, and Post-Secondary. As an example of the potentially
useful facts within, the Market Statistics chapter includes a graph of venture capital investments
in education technology companies, which increased from approximately $150 million in 2002
to $400 million in 2011.

3. Facts and Forecast for the Education Revolution: GSV Asset Management. (2012). American
Revolution 2.0: How Education Innovation is Going to Revitalize American and Transform the U.S.
Economy.
This report argues that by embracing education reform, driven by technology and accountability,
and aimed at increasing economic return on education (ROE) and knowledge as a currency
(KNAAC), America can remain the political and economic leader of the world. This comprehensive
report provides statistics and facts on the current state of various education sectors in comparison to
international competitors, and argues that increasing economic inequality marks the failures of our
educational system to create the skilled workforce employers demand. GSV highlights many
technologies, organizations, and trends as signs of the education revolution underway, including
Teach For America, charter schools, for-profit universities, and online learning platforms. Profiles
of influential and innovative education organizations are spread throughout the report. The report
argues that for-profit vs. non-profit organizational structure should not be a concern if our focus is
14

on outcomes, and that the best investment opportunities in the growing education market are
determined by the 4 Ps: People, Product, Potential and Predictability.

Management Consultancy:
Management consulting, the practice of helping organizations to improve their performance,
operates primarily through the analysis of existing organizational problems and the development of
plans for improvement. Organizations may draw upon the services of management consultants for a
number of reasons, including gaining external (and presumably objective) advice and access to the
consultants' specialized expertise.
As a result of their exposure to and relationships with numerous organizations, consulting firms are
also said to be aware of industry "best practices", although the specific nature of situations under
consideration may limit the transferability of such practices from one organization to another.
Consultancies may also provide organizational change management assistance, development
of coaching skills, process
analysis, technology implementation, strategy
development,
or
operational improvement services. Management consultants often bring their own
proprietary methodologies or frameworks to guide the identification of problems and to serve as the
basis for recommendations for more effective or efficient ways of performing work tasks.

History:
Management consulting grew with the rise of management as a unique field of study. The first
management consulting firm was Arthur D. Little Inc., founded in 1886 as a partnership, and later
incorporated in 1909.Though Arthur D. Little later became a general management consultancy, it
originally specialized in technical research.
As Arthur D. Little focused on technical research for the first few years, probably the first real
management consulting organization was that started by Frederick Winslow Taylor, who in 1893
opened an independent consulting practice in Philadelphia. His business card read "Consulting
Engineer - Systematizing Shop Management and Manufacturing Costs a Specialty". By inventing
Scientific Management, also known as Taylor's method, Frederick Winslow Taylor invented the first
method of organizing work, spawning the careers of many more management consultants. One of
Taylor's early collaborators, Morris Llewellyn Cooke, for example, opened his own management
consultancy in 1905. Taylor's method was used worldwide until industry switched to a method
invented by W. Edwards Deming.
Booz Allen Hamilton was founded by Edwin G. Booz, a graduate of the Kellogg School of
Management at Northwestern University, in 1914 as a management consultancy and the first to
serve both industry and government clients. In 1926, James O. McKinsey, professor of Managerial
Accounting at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, founded McKinsey.
The initial period of growth in the consulting industry was triggered by the Glass-Steagall Banking
15

Act in the 1930s, and was driven by demand for advice on finance, strategy, and organization. From
the 1950s onwards consultancies not only expanded their activities considerably in the United
States but also opened offices in Europe and later in Asia and South America. After World War II, a
number of new management consulting firms formed, bringing a rigorous analytical approach to the
study of management and strategy. Work carried out at McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, AT
Kearney, Booz Allen Hamilton, and the Harvard Business Schoolduring the 1960s and 1970s
developed the tools and approaches that would define the new field of strategic management,
setting the groundwork for many consulting firms to follow. In 1983, Harvard Business School's
influence on the industry continued with the founding of the now defunct Monitor Group by six
professors.
The industry experienced significant growth in the 1980s and 1990s, gaining considerable
importance in relation to national gross domestic product. In 1980 there were only five consulting
firms with more than 1,000 consultants worldwide, whereas by the 1990s there were more than
thirty firms of this size.
An earlier wave of growth in the early 1980s was driven by demand for strategy and organization
consultancies. The wave of growth in the 1990s was driven by both strategy and information
technology advice. In the second half of the 1980s the big accounting firms entered the IT
consulting segment. The then Big Eight, now Big Four, accounting firms
(PricewaterhouseCoopers; KPMG; Ernst & Young; Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu) had always offered
advice in addition to their traditional services, but from the late 1980s onwards these activities
became increasingly important in relation to the maturing market of accounting and auditing. By
the mid-1990s these firms had outgrown those service providers focusing on corporate strategy and
organization. While three of the Big Four legally divided the different service lines after the Enron
scandals and the ensuing breakdown of Arthur Andersen, they are now back in the consulting
business.

The industry stagnated in 2001 before recovering after 2003, with a current trend towards a clearer
segmentation of management consulting firms. In recent years, management consulting firms
actively recruit top graduates from Ivy League universities, Rhodes Scholars, and students from top
MBA programs.

Function:
The functions of consulting services are commonly broken down into eight task
categories. Consultants can function as bridges for information and knowledge, and that external
consultants can provide these bridging services more economically than client firms themselves
Marvin Bower, McKinsey's long-term director, has mentioned the benefits of a consultant's
externality, that they have varied experience outside the client company
16

Consultants have specialised skills on tasks that would involve high internal coordination costs for
clients, such as organization-wide changes or the implementation of information technology. In
addition, because of economies of scale, their focus and experience in gathering information
worldwide and across industries renders their information search less costly than for clients.

Approaches:
In general, various approaches to consulting can be thought of as lying somewhere along a
continuum, with an 'expert' or prescriptive approach at one end, and a facilitative approach at the
other. In the expert approach, the consultant takes the role of expert, and provides expert advice or
assistance to the client, with, compared to the facilitative approach, less input from, and less
collaboration with the client(s). With a facilitative approach, the consultant focuses less on specific
or technical expert knowledge, and more on the process of consultation itself. Because of this focus
on process, a facilitative approach is also often referred to as 'process consulting,' with Edgar
Schein being considered the best-known practitioner. The consulting firms listed above are closer
toward the expert approach of this continuum.
Many consulting firms are organized in a structured matrix, where one 'axis' describes a business
function or type of consulting: for example, strategy, operations, technology, executive
leadership, process improvement, talent management, sales, etc. The second axis is an industry
focus: for example, oil and gas, retail, automotive. Together, these form a matrix, with consultants
occupying one or more 'cells' in the matrix. For example, one consultant may specialize in
operations for the retail industry, and another may focus on process improvement in the downstream
oil and gas industry.

Specialization:
Management consulting refers generally to the provision of business services, but there are
numerous specialties, such as information technology consulting, human resource
consulting, virtual management consulting and others, many of which overlap, and most of which
are offered by the larger diversified consultancies. So-called "boutique" consultancies, however, are
smaller organizations focusing upon a few of such specialties.
The 1990s saw an increase in what has been termed a 'future-based' approach. This emphasised
language and alignment of people within an organization to a common vision of the future of the
organization, as set out in the book "Three Laws of Performance". The essential concept here was
that the way people perform is seen to correlate to the way that world occurs for them, and that
future-based language could alter the way the future actually occurs for them. These principles were
increasingly employed in organizations that had experienced a market transition or a merger
requiring the blending of two corporate cultures. However, towards the end of the 1990s the
approach declined due to a perception that the concept outlined in this book did not in practice offer
added value to organizations.

17

Current state of the industry:


Management consulting has grown quickly, with growth rates of the industry exceeding 20% in the
1980s and 1990s As a business service, consulting remains highly cyclical and linked to overall
economic conditions. The consulting industry shrank during the 2001-2003 period, but grew
steadily until the recent economic downturn in 2009. Since then the market has stabilised.
Currently, there are three main types of consulting firms. Large, diversified organizations, Mediumsized management consultancies and boutique firms that have focused areas of consulting expertise
in specific industries, functional areas, technologies, or regions of the world.

Revenue model:
Traditionally, the consulting industry charged on a time and materials basis, billing for staff
consultants based upon the hours worked plus out-of-pocket expenses such as travel costs. During
the late 1990s and early 2000s, there was a shift to more results-based pricing, either with fixed bids
for defined deliverables or some form of results-based pricing in which the firm would be paid a
fraction of the value delivered. The current trend seems to favor a hybrid with components of fixed
pricing and risk-sharing by both the consulting firm and client

Trends:
The use of management consultancy is becoming more prevalent in non-business fields including
the public sector; as the need for professional and specialist support grows, other industries such as
government, quasi-government and not-for-profit agencies are turning to the same managerial
principles which have helped the private sector for years.
An industry structural trend which arose in the early part of the 21st century was the spin-off or
separation of the consulting and accounting units of the large diversified professional advisory firms
most notably Deloitte, Ernst & Young, PwC and KPMG. For these firms, which began operation as
accounting and audit firms, management consulting was a new extension to their organization. But
after a number of highly publicised scandals over accounting practices, such as the Enron scandal,
these firms began divestiture of their management-consulting units, to more easily comply with the
tighter regulatory scrutiny that followed. In some parts of the world, this trend is now being
reversed where the firms are rapidly rebuilding their management consulting arms, as their
corporate websites clearly demonstrate.

Rise of internal corporate consulting groups:


Added to these approaches are corporations that set up their own internal consulting groups,
hiring internal management consultants either from within the corporation or from external firms'
18

employees. Many corporations have internal groups of as many as 25 to 30 full-time consultants.


Internal consulting groups are often formed around a number of practice areas, commonly
including: organizational development, process management, information technology, design
services, training, and development.

Advantages:
There are several potential benefits to employing internal consultants:

If properly managed and empowered, internal consulting groups evaluate engagement on


projects in light of the corporation's strategic and tactical objectives.

Often, the internal consultant requires less ramp up time on a project due to familiarity with
the corporation, and is able to guide a project through to implementation a step that would
often be too costly if an external consultant were used.

Internal relationship provides opportunities to keep certain corporate information private.

It is likely that the time and materials cost of internal consultants is significantly less than
external consultants operating in the same capacity.

Internal consulting positions can be used to recruit and develop potential senior managers of
the organization.

Note: Corporations need to be conscious of and consistent with how internal consultant costs are
accounted for on both a project and organizational level to evaluate cost effectiveness.

Internal consultants may be specifically suited to either:


1. Lead external consulting project teams, or
2. Act as organizational subject matter experts embedded with external consulting teams
under the direction of organizational management.

A group of internal consultants can closely monitor and work with external consulting firms. This
would ensure better delivery, quality, and overall operating relationships.
External firms providing consulting services have a dichotomy in priority. The health of the external
firm is in aggregate more important than that of their client (though of course the health of their
client can have a direct impact on their own health).

19

Disadvantages:

The internal consultant may not bring the objectivity to the consulting relationship that an
external firm can.

An internal consultant also may not bring to the table best practices from other corporations.
A way to mitigate this issue is to recruit experience into the group and/or proactively provide
diverse training to internal consultants.

Internal consultants may face corporate politics just as any group in an organization.

Where the consulting industry is strong and consulting compensation high, it can be difficult
to recruit candidates.

It is often difficult to accurately measure the true costs and benefits of an internal consulting
group.

When financial times get tough, internal consulting groups that have not effectively
demonstrated economic value (costs vs. benefits) are likely to face size reductions or
reassignment.

Internal consultants are employees themselves, thus do not question their own job.

Government consultants:
The use of management consulting in governments is widespread in many countries but can be
subject to misunderstandings and resultant controversy.

India
In India, NABARD Consultancy Services (NABCONS) provides consultancy services in the field
of agriculture, rural development and management. It is the wholly owned subsidiary of National
Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD)which is the apex bank of the country
with regard to agriculture and rural development. NABARD is owned by Government of India and
Reserve Bank of India. Agriculture Finance Corporation Limited provides consultancy mainly to
governments and related institutions.

Manpower Outsourcing Industry

In business, outsourcing is the contracting out of a business process to another party. The term
"outsourcing" became popular in the United States near the turn of the 21st century. Outsourcing
20

sometimes involves transferring employees and assets from one firm to another, but not
always. Outsourcing is also used to describe the practice of handing over control of public
services to for-profit corporations.
Outsourcing includes both foreign and domestic contracting, and sometimes
includes offshoring or relocating a business function to another country. Financial savings from
lower international labor rates is a big motivation for outsourcing/offshoring.
The opposite of outsourcing is called insourcing, which entails bringing processes handled by
third-party firms in-house, and is sometimes accomplished via vertical integration. However, a
business can provide a contract service to another business without necessarily insourcing that
business process.

Overview
Two
organizations
may
enter
into
a
contractual
agreement
involving
an exchange of services and payments. Outsourcing is said to help firms to perform well in their
core competencies and mitigate shortage of skill or expertise in the areas where they want to
outsource.
In the early 21st century, businesses increasingly outsourced to suppliers outside their own
country, sometimes referred to as offshoring or offshore outsourcing. Several related terms have
emerged to refer to various aspects of the complex relationship between
economic organizations or networks, such as nearshoring,crowdsourcing, multisourcing and
strategic outsourcing.
Outsourcing can offer greater budget flexibility and control. Outsourcing lets organizations pay
for only the services they need, when they need them. It also reduces the need to hire and train
specialized staff, brings in fresh engineering expertise, and reduces capital and operating
expenses.
One of the biggest changes in the early 21st century came from the growth of groups of people
using online technologies to use outsourcing as a way to build a viable service delivery business
that can be run from virtually anywhere in the world. The preferential contract rates that can be
obtained by temporarily employing experts in specific areas to deliver elements of a project
purely online means that there is a growing number of small businesses that operate entirely
online using offshore contractors to deliver the work before repackaging it to deliver to the end
user. One common area where this business model thrives is in providing website creation,
analysis and marketing services. All elements can be done remotely and delivered digitally, and
service providers can leverage the scale and economy of outsourcing to deliver high-value
services at reduced end-customer prices.

Reasons for outsourcing


21

Companies primarily outsource to avoid certain costs - such as peripheral or "non-core" business
expenses, high taxes, high energy costs, excessive government regulation/mandates, production
and labor costs. The incentive to outsource may be greater for U.S. companies due to unusually
high corporate taxes and mandated benefits, like social security, Medicare, and safety protection
(OSHA regulations). At the same time, it appears U.S. companies do not outsource to reduce
executive or managerial costs. For instance, executive pay in the United States in 2007
was more than 400 times more than average workersa gap 20 times bigger than it was in
1965. In 2011, twenty-six of the largest US corporations paid more to CEO's than they paid
in federal taxes Such statistics imply that the reason companies outsource is not to avoid costs
in general but to avoid specific types of costs.

DIFFICULTIES FACED
AND
MAJOR LIMITATIONS

DIFFICULTIES FACED AND MAJOR LIMITATIONS

53

Time availability was one of the biggest limitations faced. Due to shortage of
time, the authors had to limit the work in its present from as much as they would
have like to work on it, the time constraint restricted them from doing so.
Money was also one of the major limitations faced.
Since the researcher didnt have any previous experience in research work and
project writing, so it may have lead to discrepancies in the report.
Respondent showed a lot of reluctance in filling up questionnaire.
Because of less technological acceptance was the main and the root cause of less
acceptance of our product in the market
No free -trial periods so that client may get attracted with the facilities
Product was not customizable as per clients requirement
The targeted audience were of business class and their age is nearly around 3750 .They were not ready to accept this technical change, they were satisfied with 4
numbers not with single centralized number.
They were considering it as a big investment which will not do anything but their
perception was wrong this will definitely create a brand image in the callers
whenever he/she will make a call at their number .this product was designed
basically to improve brand image and better customer service by attending all of
the call 24X7.
In this age group our clients were demanding that product which is simple to
handle and will work like magic stick ,they were thinking that it will make a chaos
in handling calls .But our product was not difficult to handle although anyone can
access even a minor with a little bit of computer knowledge .
Some of our sales staff were not able to focus on their work while chasing clients.
Because it is a technical product, a proper pitching rehearsal should done before
targeting a customer so that it may help in knowing what to say or not in front of
customer.
Geographical scope of the study was limited to a small area like Delhi and Noida
only, which may not represent the whole sector of India. Hence finding may differ
from the other part of India.
Size of the sample is 60, which is of course small comparison to entire population
It is almost impossible to obtain data from each & every respondent covered in
sample. There were some respondent who refuse to the questionnaire
Due to limitation of time only few people were selected for the study. So the
sample of the customer was not enough to generalize the finding of the study
The chance of biased respondent cannot be eliminated though all necessary steps
were taken to avoid the same.

Reasons why the call management solution was a big failure in New Delhi

CONCLUSION

SUGGESTIONS

CONCLUSION

56

Market mapping is a better way to study of various market conditions that is plotted on a map
to identify trends and corresponding variables between consumers and products.
Market mapping can help companies locate problem areas and figure out the source of
problems by examining related variables.
Once an entrepreneur has identified an appropriate segment of the market to target, the
challenge is to position the product so that it meets the needs and wants of the target
customers.
One way to do this is to use a market map (you might also see this called by its proper
name the perceptual map).
The market map illustrates the range of positions that a product can take in a market based
on two dimensions that are important to customers.
"Market Mapping" shows all marketers how to combine the speed and power of desktop
computers with new mapping software to analyze thorny marketing issues and make better
decisions faster. Simply and logically, consumer and business to business marketers - in any
industry - pinpoint customers, conduct market research, position products, and analyze
purchase patterns far more quickly and accurately than before.
Market mapping, as defined and developed by Malcolm McDonald and Ian Dunbar, is used
in market segmentation to help companies identify the target group(s) for their segmentation
project and forms the second step in the segmentation process. It also has a number of other
important applications, such as tracking changes in the channels to market, presenting your
own company's performance on these routes to market and illustrating where your sales and
marketing resources are allocated, which can then be compared with how your key
competitors allocate their resources.
"Market Mapping" evaluates the capabilities of the most important mapping software and
clearly and concisely explains how to interpret the graphic output of each. This applicationsoriented uses of actual marketing scenarios to show how to best employ mapping analyze
potential markets - find new, more profitable retail locations - target successful direct mail
efforts - or effectively reorganize a sales force. It also gives readers interested in expanding
their international presence the ability to develop global data sources for marketing decisions.
At InTRM, all the key functions and divisions are independently responsible for the operation
of their respective areas such as marketing, finance, hr etc. At InTRM, recruitment for the
other company and competition with its competitors and providing the good services at lower
prices will profit in future.

SUGGESTIONS

57

With reference to findings that I have discovered throughout the internship .The conclusion
drawn are
Changes to be made in the company

Chasing of clients should be done until you not hear no from your customer.

May be the market condition is not good right now but after few months they should
try their best in the education sector.

Hire some better sales staff so that they can easily get the results on time and they
must impressive with their personality and words.

Provide a customized package for each and every client.

Do not stick to one product, New more products should be introduced in the
company .So that, if we are not getting good results from one product the other one
will cover up the cost that the company has incurred.
