INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTRODUCTION TO ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY
Electronic Industry, the business of creating, designing, producing and Selling devices
such as Radios, televisions, stereos, computers, semi-conductors, transistors and integrated circuits
(as sales of electronic products in United States grew from $200 million in 1927 to over $266
billion in 1990, the electronics Industry transformed factories, offices and homes, emerging as a
key economic sector that rivaled the chemical, steel and auto industries in size.
The Industry traces its origin to the invention of the two element electron tube (1904) by
John Ambrose Flemings and the three element tube (1906) Lee De Forest. Inventions led to the
development of commercial radio in the 1920’s, which boosted radio sales to $300 million by the
end of the decade. In 1947, the electronics Industry made another important advance when John
Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley invented the transistor. Smaller, lighter and more
durable than the vacuum tubes that had been used in radios, transistors touched off a period of
progressive miniaturization of electronics devices. Integrated Circuits, which were developed in the
1950’s, allowed the Integration of several Circuits into one Circuit and the introduction of Analog
devices in the 1960’s vastly increased the amount of information that could be stored on a single
chip.
“Industrialize or perish” were the great words of one of the greatest engineer-son of the
country-Sir M.Visvesvarya. Today, considering the rapid growth of electronics that is taking place
all over the world, one is apt to say ‘promoter electronics or stagnate’. Electronics has made very
significant contribution not only in all industrial fields-power, cement, paper, mining, agriculture,
machine tool, atomic energy, defense, space, oil, textile, hotel etc., electronics is also found in
services of the mankind-entertainment, communication, health,
1
its dynamic character, its significant impact on science, industry and society, electronics is today in
the vanguard of technological process.
Bharat Electronic Ltd, as the name suggests mainly operates in Electronic Industry. Over a
passage of time it has found its place in Strategic Electronic and Defence Industry as its core
operation. Around 83% of revenue comes from Defence sectors and 17% comes from Civilian.
The Indian Electronics Industry dates back to the 1960’s was driven mainly by the states was
initially restricted to the development and maintenance of fundamental communication system
including radio broadcasting, telephonic and telegraphic communication and augmentation of
Defence capabilities. Main Players in public sector were giants like B.E.L and Indian Telephone
Industries Limited. In 1980’s and 1990’s during the Liberalization and Globalization of the Indian
economy and the electronic industries to witness the boom mainly in the Consumer Electronics
area, driven by growing middle class with large disposable incomes.
India is the fifth economy in the world and has the second largest GDP among emerging
economies. The spending power of this group has attracted almost all major consumer electronics
players from Korea, Japan and USA. They import as well as manufacture locally to sell in Indian
Market.
In Financial Year 2010-11, new records have been set for order acquisition, revenues, order
book, profits and exports. The Company achieved a turnover of Rs.552, 969 Lakhs in 2010-11 as

2. COMPANY PROFILE
Established : In 1954.
Soon after Independence the Government of India formulated the Industrial policy
resolution in April 1948. One of the industries mentioned in this resolution was the manufacture of
radio equipment and radar and the government set up an expert committee in May 1948 to
consider the steps needed to establish this industry. The committee recommended that a factory be
set up with technical assistance from a suitable foreign firm with an International reputation and
accordingly fifteen leading manufacturers of radio equipments throughout the world were invited
to give reports. A technical committee examined these reports and recommended that the company
General de Telegraphic Sans Fil be selected as technical adviser for the project.
1
Ten-year agreement was signed in December 1952 between the Government of India and
CSF. The Scheme envisaged the setting up of a factory at a cost of Rs.9.5 crores to produce
Electronic Equipments.
Bharat Electronics Limited was registered as Public Limited Company in April 1954. An
area of 700 acres in Jallahalli (Bangalore) was ear marked for the Company and the Defence
Ministry entrusted the task of putting up the factory buildings to the Military Engineering Services
in 1953. After the land had been leveled, the work on the factory buildings began in October 1954.
A building of five workshops was completed by January 1956. A school was started to train the
men in the special skills that would be required in the new factory. Production began in a small
way in December 1955 in these workshops.
The different equipment to be manufactured in 1956, 1957 and so on had been listed in a
schedule to the agreement prepared during 1952. The items mentioned in the schedule only
indicated the type of equipment that the factory should be able to produce. No one could say
exactly what would be required in the country four years later in 1952. Since electronics was
rapidly changing industry even then. A technical officer was appointed as commercial Manager in
May 1957 to study the current items in Manufacture in Europe and to prepare a list of items likely
to be accepted by users in India. French Electronic Equipment was almost unknown in India and
the users were reluctant to buy it. The difficulty was difficulty was gradually overcome by
bringing electronic equipment manufactured by CSF to India and demonstrating them to potential
users. Though there was risk in undertaking production without firm orders, then the directors had
authorized production of General Purpose Receiver. HF Transmitter, a portable VHF Tran receiver
and a Man Pack VHF Tran receiver during 1956-57 which were accepted to the users. The
possibilities of producing equipment of other make like France, Germany, Holland and UK under
1
license also were under investigation. Bharat Electronics Limited directors had rightly felt the
need for establishment of a fully indigenous Industry, which at the same time had the advantage of
foreign technical Collaboration.
This is how research and Development began at Bharat Electronics Limited. It took a few
more years to create a separate R&D division with independent fund allocation.

Mc Kinsey’s 7-S Framework was developed in the Late 70’s by Mc Kinsey Company, a
reputed Management Consultancy firm in the United States.
The 7’s Model provides an effective way of analyzing an organization, in terms of dynamic
relationship among 7 key elements namely Strategy, Structure, Systems, Style, Skills, Staff, and
Shared Values. The 7-S Framework was first mentioned in “The Art of Japanese Management” by
Richard Pascal and Anthony Athos in 1981. The Seven S Model was born at meeting of these
four authors in 1978. It appeared also “In Search of Excellence” by Peters and Waterman, and was
taken up as a basic tool by the global Management Consultancy Company McKinsey. Since then it
is known as their 7-S Model.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
Employee engagement also called worker engagement. An "engaged employee" is one
who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about their work, and thus will act in a way that furthers
their organization's interests. According to Scarlett Surveys, "Employee Engagement is a
measurable degree of an employee's positive or negative emotional attachment to their job,
colleagues and organization that profoundly influences their willingness to learn and perform is at
work". Thus engagement is different from employee satisfaction, motivation and organizational
culture. Employee engagement has become an area of focus within organizations for the purpose
of retention. According to SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) the cost of replacing
one $8 per hour employee can exceed $3,500, which gives companies a strong financial incentive
to maintain their existing staff members through strong employee engagement practices
The team leader should understand his members well. Do not assign anything which the
employee would not find interesting.
Effective communication enhances employee engagement. Make sure there is transparency in
communication at all levels and everyone is aware of what is happening around him.
The management must constantly motivate his employees. Cash prizes, trophies, gift vouchers,
certificates are an effective way to motivate the employees and keep them engaged in their
work. Give them a target and ask them to achieve that within a particular time frame to earn
incentives or prizes. This way, the employees would not waste their time and spend their
maximum time working and aiming for the rewards.
The team leader or the manager must be in constant dialogue with his team members. He should
know what his team members are up to. Performance monitoring is important. The team
members should be answerable to their immediate bosses.
Be friendly with your team. Don’t ask them to stay back late unnecessarily. They are likely to
commit more mistakes and eventually lose interest in work. Let them go back home on time and
enjoy their personal lives as well. More than a strict boss, be a mentor to them and stand by

Encourage your team members to think out of the box. Ask them do their work in a little
different way than they normally do
*Employee perceptions of job importance - An employee's attitude toward the job's importance
and the company had the greatest impact on loyalty and customer service.
* Employee clarity of job expectations - If expectations are not clear and basic materials and
equipment is not provided, negative emotions such as boredom or resentment may result, and the
employee may then become focused on surviving more than thinking about how he can help the
organization succeed.
* Career advancement/improvement opportunities - Plant supervisors and managers indicated
that many plant improvements were being made outside the suggestion system, where employees
initiated changes in order to reap the bonuses generated by the subsequent cost savings.
* Regular feedback and dialogue with superiors - Feedback is the key to giving employees a
sense of where they’re going, but many organizations are remarkably bad at giving it ‘What I
really wanted to hear was 'Thanks. You did a good job.
* Quality of working relationships with peers, superiors, and subordinates -if employees'
relationship with their managers is fractured, then no amount of perks will persuade the employees
to perform at top levels. Employee engagement is a direct reflection of how employees feel about
their relationship with the boss.
* Effective Internal Employee Communications - which convey a clear description of "what's
going on. If you accept that employees want to be involved in what they are doing then this trend
is clear (from small businesses to large global organizations).
* Reward to engage - Look at employee benefits and acknowledge the role of incentives. "An
incentive to reward good work is a tried and test way of boosting staff morale and enhancing
engagement." There are a range of tactics you can employ to ensure your incentive scheme hits the
mark with your workforce such as: Setting realistic targets, selecting the right rewards for your
incentive programmer, communicating the scheme effectively and frequently, have lots of winners
and reward all achievers, encouraging sustained effort, present awards publicly and evaluate the
incentive scheme regularly.

RESEARCH DESIGN
1
The study covers the following aspects of the organization:
DATA SOURCES
Primary data: Are the original data sources from which the researcher directly collects
the data that have not been previously collected. Primary data is considered as the first hand data.
Primary data are those, which are collected fresh for the first time and thus happen to be original
in character. The primary data collection involves the collection of information for the first time
by observation, experimentation and through questionnaire in the original form by the researching
himself or his nominees. The primary data for the present study is collected mainly from the
structured questionnaire and observation.
Secondary data: Secondary data are data which are already prepared or collected for some
purpose by the researcher and these data are readily available for re-usage if necessary.
Secondary data is the data which have already been collected, compiled and represented
earlier by any agency or may be for the purpose of investigation. The secondary data are those
which have been collected by some other and which have been processed.
The sources of primary data used in the study are the questionnaire method and through
observation.

private and public organization and even by governments. In this method a questionnaire is sent or
given to persons concerned with a request to answer the questions and return the questionnaire. It
consists of a number of questions printed or typed in a definite order on the form or set of forms.
The questionnaire is mailed to respondents who are expected to read and understand the questions
and write down the reply in the space meant for the purpose in the questionnaire itself.
2. Observation: - observation is the method where the information can be captured only through
observing various aspects. It cannot be recorded nor can be re-observed.
It is an unplanned activity and unexpected gathered information.
Sampling method: - The sampling method used in the study is simple random sampling.
Statistical tools used for data analysis: - The statistical tools used are column charts.
A part from these limitations there was an attempt made to take care that the response
received from the respondents were believed to be 100% correct because the survey was
conducted by structured questionnaire, observation and personal interview.

FINDINGS
1) All employees are happy with the system of multitasking prevailing in the company.
However, they informed that training imparted could be enhanced however; the developmental
opportunities are currently adequate.
2) The mean scores obtained by the different grades of workers and workers of different
department relatively indicate that employees are quite optimistic regarding the future of the
company.
3) A point of concern expressed was regarding that enough authority was not given to make
important decisions that affect the job. The reason for this is that majority of the officers who
responded to the questionnaire were in the grade E1 and E2, which is not yet a managerial cadre in
BEL.
4) Findings also revealed the emphasis given by the employees to fairness and equity in the job.
5) On talking with workers it was observed that most of the communications reach the working
class by word of mouth. They suggested that various communications may be circulated in
vernacular language also for better clarity and dissemination.
6) A lot of the executives expressed that the company encourages positive changes and different
ways of doing things.
7) They are very proud to work for the Organization and a majority (about 88%) agrees or
strongly agrees to the same.
8) They also agree that a number of promotional opportunities to them are less.
9) Bharat Electronics is government of India undertaking and the company decisions are taken by
the top management with the consent of the government and the decisions of middle and lower
level are taken by the directors of the concerned units.
10) Company has given more importance for employee safety and security with quality policy.
11) Differences were observed in terms of recognition among different grades of employees.
1
12) The data analysis shows that dissatisfaction prevailed regarding the existing financial rewards
or benefit plans in terms of employee engagement as expressed by the employees of the
organization.
SUGGESTIONS
1) Training and development should be given more focus for their better employee engagement.
2) More recognition schemes could be put in place to award recognition to deserving employees both
formally and informally.
3) Nurturing creativity needs to focus upon especially in the junior level executives.
4) The culture of the company of nurturing the junior level needs to be well articulated to them and
there seems to be a need among them to gain more decision making powers.
5) The overall engagement of the company seems to be positive and majority of the employees
express a sense of belongingness to the Company.
6) As Bharath Electronics Limited is a government undertaking organization the people who are
working in the organization should be well trained, to be updated to the latest trends and
technologies.
7) Recruitment should be based on the employee’s qualification and experience and not giving the
importance to the policies to fill the vacancy.
8) Promotions should take place considering the individuals qualifications and experience.
9) Can improve the salaries of the employees as salary is not competitive when compared to other
companies in market.
10) According to my observation some employees should be given guidance about committed to their
work.
