A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

CHAPTER:1
INTRODUCTION
The Aditya Birla Group is an Indian multinational conglomerate named after Aditya Vikram
Birla headquartered in the Aditya Birla Centre in Worli Mumbai India. It operates in 40
countries with more than 120,000 employees worldwide. The group was founded by Seth Shiv
Narayan Birla in 1857. The group interests in sectors such as viscose staple fibre, metals, cement
(largest in India), viscose filament yarn, branded apparel, carbon black, chemicals, fertilizers,
insulators, financial services, telecom (third largest in India), BPO and IT services. The group
had a revenue of approximately US$41 billion in year 2015.

INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY:

Marketing strategy and product performance:

This study was conducted to investigate the nature of relationship between marketing strategy
and product performance with a special focus on the food and beverage industry in Nigeria.
The study used primary data gathered from 284 randomly selected staff of ten selected
companies. These companies are quoted on the Nigerian stock exchange. To do this, a
questionnaire was adopted as research instrument. The data gathered was subjected to factor
analysis and regression analysis. The results show that indeed marketing strategy impacts
product performance of the observed firms. More so, of all the factors considered (promotion
strategy, Product strategy, Distribution strategy, General marketing strategy and Pricing
Strategy) promotional factors were found to be most important, then product strategy while
pricing mix account for the least variation. This paper therefore recommends that business
organisation should accord necessary attention to the element of marketing strategy by
designing market strategies driven by a sound marketing management, targeting and strategic
positioning.

NEED FOR THE STUDY:


A human being is an income generating asset. One’s income generating ability depends on one’s
skills, (manual, professional, problem solving, entrepreneurial, etc.) These are the assets the
value of which can be measured by considering the income that is generated by the person
concerned. The concept of human life values provided by insurance enables the determination of
the asset value of the human life and therefore, the amount of life insurance required. Life
insurance emphasizes the preservation of the economic value of the human asset in the event that
these assets may be lost through unexpectedly early death or through sickness and disabilities
caused by accidents.7 Insurance as a social security tool – The United Nations Declaration of
Human Rights 1948 provides that “Everyone has a right to a standard of living adequate for the
health and wellbeing of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical
care and necessary social services and the right to security in the event of unemployment,
sickness, disability, widowhood or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control”.
When the bread winner dies, to that extent, the family’s income dies. The economic condition of
the family is affected, unless other 7Koller Michael, Life Insurance Risk Management Essentials,
Springer Publications, 2004 7 arrangements come into being to restore the situation. Life
insurance provides such an alternate arrangement. Under a socialist system, the responsibility of
full security would be placed upon the State to find resources for providing social security. In the
capitalistic society, provisions of security are largely left to the individuals. The society provides
instruments which can be used in securing this aim. In India, social security finds a place in our
Constitution. As per the law and the directions of the regulatory authorities, insurance companies
in India are obliged to extend insurance benefits to economically weaker sections of the society
in the unorganized sector.8 This research aims at finding out the impressions of the public about
the basic need for life insurance. An attempt has been made to establish a relationship between
person’s realization for the need for life insurance and the time when he actually purchases the
policy. It is of absolute importance for an individual who is a bread winner to realize that the
value his life holds in terms of the economic gain that it brings to his family can be protected
only through life insurance. If this does not happen, his family would be pushed into the lower
strata of society. The lower strata create a cost on society since the poor bring additional cost to
the nation by way of subsidies. Life insurance business helps to reduce such costs. In this sense,
the life insurance business is complimentary to the State’s efforts in social management.

OBJECTIVES
➢to know various products available at ABLI

➢To determine and analyze the Market Potential of the Birla Sun Life Insurance Company.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research means a search for knowledge or gain some new knowledge and methodology
can properly refer to the theoretical analysis of the methods appropriate to a field
of study or to the body of methods and principles particular to a branch of knowledge.
Research Design : A research design is the arrangement of conditions for the
collections and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to research purpose
with economy in procedure.

Universe
The universe of the study is Navy-Mumbai.
Sample Unit

ALLUM KARIBASAPPA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BALLARI Page 3


A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

The sample unit pertaining to the study is 100 respondents of Navy-Mumbai region.
Sample Size
The sample size of 100 served the purpose of the study.
Sample Method
The sampling method used is non-probability convenience sampling

Research Design :
This part of the thesis seems to be an important one. There are many definitions of research
design and no one definition imparts the full range of important aspects. A research design is the
arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in a manner that aims to combine
relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure (Clair). It is also called the plan,
structure and strategy of investigation conceived so as to obtain answers to the research question
and to control variance. Whatever definitions, it indicates two things. The first is the plan of the
research and second is the strategy or blue print specifying the approach that will be used for
gathering and analyzing the data. Before going into the plan and the strategy of research, it
would be appropriate to discuss the classification of research design. Different perspectives of
research are considered keeping in mind the present thesis. The first perspective is that of degree
of problem crystallization. A study can be viewed as exploratory or formalized. The exploratory
study is ill structured and much less focused can predetermined objective whereas the formalized
study has much more structure. All studies have elements of exploration in them. Here the
degree of problem is focused and the element of exploration is within that focused boundary. The
researcher believes that comparison of various insurance players is required to select the best
insurance service provider and to find out the factors affecting to buying and renewing decision
are crucial to know the mind set of people towards the insurance. 110 From the perspective of
relationship among the variables the present study is descriptive one because: • It begins with
hypothesis or questions and involves precise procedures and data source specifications. •
Researcher is attempting to describe the variables pertaining to Insurance Investors. • The goal of
this study is to test the hypothesis or answer the Research Questions based on the variables. It is
again important to mention that the study is mainly divided into two parts. The first part of the

ALLUM KARIBASAPPA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BALLARI Page 4


A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

study deals with the relative analysis of major insurance players through secondary data.
Comparison is done by considering the different aspects of profit & loss account and balance
sheet, and it is mentioned that what the performance of major insurance players. This analysis is
very important from the insurance investors, point of view because it is very long investment
decision. The second part of the research focuses upon the factors which considered to buy and
to renew the insurance policy (life insurance, health insurance and vehicle insurance), which is
done through the primary data. Questionnaire is developed by considering the different variables
of the study, which are filled up by either insurance investor or by key decision taker. Data
collection is followed by data analysis through developing the necessary hypothesis and testing
of hypothesis to come at proper interpretation. Apart from these, insurance experts are
interviewed to know more about the scheme framing policy of insurance players.

Methods of data collection:


Data collection
The word data means any raw information, which is either quantitative or qualitative in
nature, which is of practical or theoret ical use. The task of data collection
begins aft er a research problem has been defined and research design chalked out. While
deciding about the method of data collection, the researcher should keep in mind that there are
two types of data primary and secondary.
Primary data
This is those, which are collected afresh and for the first Time, and thus happen to be original in
character. There are many ways of data collection of primary data like observation
method, interview method, through schedules, pantry Reports, distributors audit, consumer
panel etc. The Team Managers and employees of both the Department were consulted to get
information about procedure of bot h the online and off line share trading. But the
method used b y us for the primary data collection was through questionnaires

Questionnaire method:
For the collection of primary data I used questionnaire method. A formal list of questions, which
are to be asked, is prepared in a questionnaire and questions are asked on those bases. There are

ALLUM KARIBASAPPA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BALLARI Page 5


A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

some merits and demerits of this method. These as under: -Merits: -1. Low cost even when
universe is large.2. It is free from bias of interviewer.3. Respondents have proper time to
answer.4. Respondents who are not easily approachable can also be reachable.5. Large samples
can be made.

Secondary data:
Thes e are those dat a, which are not collect ed afresh and are used earlier als o
and thus the y cannot be considered as ori gi nal in charact er. There are
man y wa ys of data collection of secondar y data like publicat ions of the st ate a
nd central government, reports prepared by researchers, reports of various associations
connected with business, Industries, banks etc. And the method, which was used by us, was with
the help of reports of the company.
Sample Size:
I have met 250 people, to know about their perception regarding companies and there
policie safter that I have taken 25 People they have fill up the questionnaire and given response.

LIMITATIONS OF INSURANCE:
➢Lack of awareness among the people – This is the biggest limitation found in this
sector. Most of the people are not aware about the importance and the necessity of
the insurance in their life. They are not aware how useful life insurance can be for their
family members if something happens to them.

➢Perception of the people towards Insurance sector – People still consider insurance just as a Tax
saving device. So today also there is always a rush to buy an Insurance Policy only at the end of
the financial year like January, February and March making the other 9 months dry for this
business.
➢Insurance does not give good returns – Still today people think that Insurance does not
give good returns. They are not aware of the modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans which are
offered by most of the Private sector players. They are still under the perception that if they take
Insurance they will get only 5-6% returns which is not true nowadays. Nowadays most1

ALLUM KARIBASAPPA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BALLARI Page 6


A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

of the modern Unit Linked Insurance Plans gives returns which are many times more
than that of bank Fixed deposits, National saving cert ificat e, Post office
deposits and Public provident fund.
➢Lack of awareness about the earning opportunity in the Insurance sector – People still
today are not aware about the earning opportunity that the Insurance sector gives. After
the privatization of the insurance sector many private giants have entered the insurance
sector. These pri vat e companies in order to beat the competit ion and to increase
their Insurance Advisors to increase their reach to the customers are giving very high
commission rates but people are no taware of that.
➢Increased competition –
Today the competition in the Insurance sector has became very stiff. Currently there
are 14 Life Insurance companies working in India including the LIC (life insurance
Corporation of India). Today each and every company is trying to increase their
Insurance Advisors so that they can increase their reach in the market. This situation has created
a scenario in which to recruit Life insurance Advisors and to sell life Insurance Policy has
became very- very difficult

Examples of High Risk

 Smoking: The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reveals that 45.3 million
adult Americans over the age of 18 smoke cigarettes. This habit accounts for 1 in 5
deaths in the U.S. annually, equivalent to 443,000 people.
 Skydiving: In 2012, the U.S. Parachute Association reported 21 fatalities; 1,308
association members reported injuries requiring medical attention.
 Multiple sclerosis: In 2011, The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society reported
that nearly 400,000 people in the U.S. have been diagnosed with the disease. The
majority of MS symptoms first appear between 20 and 40 years of age.

What Is High Risk Life Insurance?

High risk life insurance is life insurance coverage that is available for those who are
considered a higher risk to insure than other people. What defines a risk category? There
are several categories that are considered high risk. They include:

 High risk professions: Many occupations can put you into the higher risk category.
People in high risk professions include underwater welders, underground miners
and firefighters.
 High risk hobbies: You may work at a safe job during the week, but you may still be
considered high risk if your weekends involve hobbies such as skydiving, scuba
diving or racing cars.
 High risk habits: Some of your lifestyle habits might be high risk, such as smoking
cigarettes or cigars, or chewing tobacco.

ALLUM KARIBASAPPA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BALLARI Page 22


A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

 High risk diseases: If you have been diagnosed with a serious or life threatening
disease such as cancer, pancreatic disease, epilepsy, diabetes, or Alzheimer’s, you
are most likely considered high risk.

The good news is that there are a number of insurance companies that specialize in high
risk life insurance coverage. This means that getting the life insurance you need is not out
of the question, regardless of your profession, hobbies, habits, illnesses or advanced age.

What Do High Risk Life Insurance Companies Look For?

Each life insurance category has its own requirements and restrictions set by the insurance
companies. If you fall into a high risk category, there are many different factors that a life
insurance company will consider depending on the particular risk involved, and this can
also vary considerably from company to company.

The following are a few examples to give you an idea what life insurance companies look
for before they offer high risk insurance quotes for you to consider.

 High risk profession: With a high risk job such as a logger or seagoing fisherman
and many other high risk occupations, life insurance companies usually consider
two key factors in putting together a quote:
o Reports based on the U.S Department of Statistics that provide detailed
information and injury/death statistics per occupation.

o Experiences that company has insuring people in these higher risk


professions.

 High risk hobbies: Again, it depends on the hobby and the risk involved, but as an
example here are some questions a high risk life insurance company might ask you
if you scuba dive:
o How many dives do you do each year, on average?

o What is the average depth of your dives and what is your deepest dive?

ALLUM KARIBASAPPA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BALLARI Page 23


A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

o Do you scuba dive in an overhead environment such as a shipwreck, cave,


under ice or perform underwater salvage?

o Do you perform rescue diving or dive for pay?

o Do you have any certifications?

 High risk habits: If you are a regular smoker of cigarettes or cigars, you will fall
into the high risk category. Here are some important things to know:
o If you’ve quit for a period of time such as a year or more you can typically
get better rates.

o Some life insurance companies will give you preferred rates if you only
smoke occasionally (less than a few per year) and this can apply to cigarettes,
cigars or chewing tobacco.

o Remember, being truthful with your insurance company when asked


questions about your health and habits is crucial, or you may risk having
your policy canceled. Life insurance policies are subject to a two-year
contestability period during which your life insurance company can cancel
your policy or deny a life insurance claim if you are found to have falsified
information on your application.
 High risk illness: If you have been diagnosed with a high risk disease, you will also
be asked an assortment of health questions that pertain to the particular illness. For
example, if you have cancer, an insurance company might ask the following:
o When were you first diagnosed?

o If in remission, how long?

o What medications are you currently taking?

o Do you have any other existing medical conditions?

o What was the date of your last treatment?

o What was the result of any further medical follow-ups?

ALLUM KARIBASAPPA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT, BALLARI Page 24


A STUDY ON PRODUCT AND PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS

In the case of a high risk illness, such as cancer, the insurance company will likely obtain
any medical records from your doctors, copies of treatment plans that may document how

feel of the walking environment a big corporate houses. This report provides the outline of my
work till now as a part of the summer the practical business world. For my industrial spotlight
and a first exposure to the corporate world , I had selected Aditya birla sun life insurance

I joined ‘ADITYA BIRLA SUN LIFE INSURANCE’ on 5-01-2018 January. I have been given
chance to work in the advisory department. On my first day I met my company guide ‘MISS.
CHANDRIKA’, who is the ‘AGENT’ head of region. I had initial discussion about my project
with her. She explained me in brief the workings of the departments.

The project is all about comparative analysis of different insurance products of the company. The
objective of the product was to check the awareness level of insurance and attitude of the people
towards insurance in the current market. Survey also done regarding the perforamence of
insurance sector depending on the age group (whether they prefer private players are public
companies).

In the beginning we gain an insight about the company and its values and inherit them in our life.
And then studied different types of insurance plan like ULIP’s turm plans endowment plan, and
various other plan

Now, on to the statistical part, we designed a questionnaire that will provide a base for studying
the awareness level and perception of the life insurance. The project helped mean developing
my communication skill and interpersonal skills. During the tenure my internship I learned a lot
from my seniors, colique etc. but above all I learned a lot from own personal experience

The market potential for private insurance companies is found to be greater in the long
run almost of the Indians are of the opi nion that, privat e insurance compani es
would be abl e to perform well in the future. The private and foreign insurance companies
have to take immediate steps in appointing more number of agents and/or advisors in addition to
the employees as it has been found out that agents are the best channel to re ach the
general public regarding selling of insurance products. The private and foreign
insurance companies have to concentrate on the factors like 'Prevention of Loss',
'Assured Returns' and 'Long term Investment'. They can also focus on an insurance
amount of Rs. 1 – 2 lakhs with 'money back policies'. , the markethas potential. The
private and foreign insurance companies that are taking immediate steps can tap it easily
& rapidly

RECOMMENDATIONS

but some new attractive insurance plans should be introduce to bind them not to switch
