I, Dipankar Maity hereby declare that the Summer Internship Report on “A study on providing
Summer season schooling paperwork is a fundamental part of the curriculum of the PGDM course
NARAYANA BUSINESS SCHOOL. It offers us perception into the running of the real corporate global. It
gives us practical information about the operating of businesses. At some point of the last time inside the
enterprise, we get to analyse the numerous aspects of an organization just like the culture followed the
purposeful aspects and so forth. The primary goal of the summer season internship is to enjoy the various
principles that we learn in our first 12 months of management path, as mastering the ideas could be very
distinct from experiencing them at a concrete level. We discover ways to face diverse situations by way of
organizing relationships among actual and good sized elements in a state of affairs. We also study that in a
given situation all the purposeful components are inter-associated: one purposeful aspect cannot be removed
from the company. We discover ways to be more confident by means of judging the various conditions
primarily based on our reasoning and by using the application of our understanding in those conditions. The
organizational standards that were taught in the lecture room have been discovered and a concrete degree
experience changed into received via being part of the system. Within the internship approach, students are
anticipated to paintings in recurring operations, which convey them in touch with the organizational realities.
It is not assigning an assignment and being remote from different approaches happening in the business
enterprise. In place of doing a character challenge, being with the agency and expertise the system
happening changed into the primary awareness. Observing the approaches and understanding the procedures
and being part of the tradition is similarly critical. This enables the students to experience all useful things of
business and their linkage among them. In this way, students research the concrete context of the businesses.

The late 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century were an important time for print media
and graphic design. Movements in style and technology would propel the print world into the
modern age.
Have you seen a palm leaf? There was a time when people used to write on palm leaves. This was
before the discovery of paper. Some of the old manuscripts written on palm leaves are preserved in
our National Manuscript Library in Delhi.
The Chinese were the first to invent the art of printing. They made wooden blocks to print letters.
This was started during the period of the Tang Dynasty in 600 AD. The oldest known surviving
printed work in a woodblock is a Buddhist scripture of 684 AD. It is now exhibited in a calligraphy
museum in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. The first printed book published in China was the Buddhist
text, the “Diamond Sutra” by Wang Chick in 868 AD. Some copies of the Buddhist scriptures
printed in 1377 are preserved in museums in China.
Can you imagine a world without paper? Nowadays paper has become an integral part of our life. We
read papers in the morning, write on note books made of paper, send letters on paper, use paper
boxes to carry things and so on and so forth. You have learnt in an earlier lesson how this paper is
made. Though the Egyptians made paper by 3500 BC, it came to Europe only by the 11th century.
The first paper mill in Europe was set up in Spain in 1120.
Block printing came to Europe by 1300. It is believed that Johannes Gutenburg of Germany had
developed printing technology around 1439. Gutenberg also invented an oil-based ink for printing.
He printed the Bible in 1450. It was in the Latin language and had 1282 pages. He used movable
printing blocks for the book.
Trend of Print Media Industry
Trends in print media come and go. And while it might have seemed like the introduction of the
digital age would have heralded the end of print marketing as we know it, modern printing trends
highlight the best of what can happen when you combine digital innovations with traditional print
techniques.
Print is always going to have benefits for brands, in particular when it comes to building trust and
nurturing relationships with potential and existing customers. And today, the most effective trends in
the printing industry are the ones that bring together the best of both the print and online worlds.
Standing out in a stack of papers is hard. To boost their odds, businesses are using textured elements
in their print media that play off of the senses and inspire awareness and recall. Some of these
elements, like die-cutting and embossments, are quite literally raised off the page, while others, like
foil stamping, are a more subtle way to lend a textural element to a piece of print media.
India’s newspaper market shrank dramatically on account of doorstep delivery fears about virus
contagion. The industry’s finances were further strained with the disappearance of commercial
advertising (itself a consequence of disrupted circulation and the lockdown-induced economic
contraction).
India’s newspapers are unlikely to regain their numbers anytime soon, if ever. Of readers lost to
online editions, many will not return to print. It is also doubtful if print will gain new readers since
the millennials are getting their news and information online.
The newspaper industry was unprepared for the accelerated digitisation catalysed by the pandemic. It
had been slow to build online revenues, unlike its counterparts in other countries. Future viability
now hinges on building paid subscriptions in digital, regaining some readership in print, and
continuing to offer fewer pages for the same cover price as they did during the lockdown.
Print media is expected to recover smartly in 2021 with projected ad spend growth of 23 per cent at
Rs 12,731 crore, while digital media will see a sharp bounce back with ad spends registering 28 per
cent growth to touch Rs 27,700 crore.
Innovation
Types of innovation
The Concepts in innovation relevant to the industry are disruptive innovation, process innovation,
business model innovation. The newspaper industry is going through a "disruptive" change, a
phenomenon that has transformed industries such as retailing, computing, airlines and automobiles.
The bad news is that when the dust of disruptive change settles, historically even the best-run
companies typically end up in the loser's column. Disruptive innovations typically offer lower
performance along dimensions that firms consider critical. In exchange, new benefits are introduced
along dimensions such as simplicity, convenience, ease of use, or low price. In the media industry,
blogs, Google, eBay, Monster.com, and freely distributed commuter papers each fit the pattern of
disruptive innovation. Each emerging competitor lacks something that is core to most newspaper
companies' value proposition. Some can't match a newspaper's broad distribution network. Others
can't compete with the newspaper's detailed reporting capability or local reach. All, however,
compete along dimensions of performance that are different than the traditional metrics emphasized
in the print newspaper business.
Three barriers typically make it difficult for market-leading incumbents to get disruption right: 1.
Fail to spot the disruptive change early enough: Disruptive change tends to start innocently at a
market's fringes. Market leaders tend to dismiss early disruptive developments because they just
don't affect their core business. 2. Fail to allocate sufficient resources towards disruptive offerings:
Disruptive innovations often have lower performance and lower prices than established offerings.
Companies find it hard to prioritize spending time and money on disruption when they have
seemingly attractive opportunities in their core business. 3. Force the disruptive initiative into the
existing business model and product concept Most newspaper companies still focus a
disproportionate share of time and attention on their print product. While not ignoring that product,
allocating more resources towards new disruptive products makes sense. It seems clear that
newspaper companies must re- imagine their content and business models if they hope to succeed.
Despite the sense of doom and gloom that pervades the industry today, there are signs of hope. While
newspaper readership is declining, information consumption is increasing. Almost every newspaper
company has made the transition to the Web, with their properties attracting new audiences and new
advertisers. In fact, the interactive nature of the Web allows forward-thinking companies to
completely change the way they interact with readers and advertisers. Readers can become content
creators and community builders. Web sites can serve advertisers that would eschew the static nature
of print. Additionally, companies are experimenting with new approaches. Dozens of companies
have launched free papers targeted at young readers or recent immigrants. Newspaper companies
should look at their local market to identify jobs that people can't get done well today. They should
think of the great assets they have at their disposal — top-flight journalists, strong brands, in-depth
local knowledge, healthy balance sheets — and think how they could reconstitute those assets to
address important, unsatisfied jobs.
SWOT Analysis
STRENGHT: Supply creates its own demand. High degree of market coverage. Service and
flexibility. Revenue increases with increase in number of advertisements. Products can easily be
recycled.
WEAKNESS: Skilled lab or short life span of the product. Circulation.
OPPORTUNITY: Digital space technology. Innovation Growing mass media Value adding Online
newspapers
THREAT: Economic downturn. Consumer migration to TV media. Radio Porter’s generic strategies
model
Generic strategies were used initially in the early 1980s, and seem to be even more popular today.
They outline the three main strategic options open to organization that wish to achieve a sustainable
competitive advantage. The generic strategies are: 1. Cost leadership, 2. Differentiation, and 3. Focus
1. Cost leadership in the case of media products, means they should be offered at a price lower than
their competitors’ but with as good benefits, or, the unique benefits the media products offer can
over-offset the premium. 2. Differentiation in media refers to when a media organization provides
unique benefits to the media users through product innovation. This is to increase the probability of
the media users to choose the product. A media organization with a target user loyalty can
concentrate more on how to fully meet the target user’s needs rather than on product cost saving. 3.
Focus strategy is also known as a 'niche' strategy. The clutter of ads has now spilled out on the
number of channel availability due to which people are spoilt for choice. Thus, Niche channels are
the only way to maintain viewer loyalty. Some premium-branded newspapers, a bit like The Sunday
Times is more niche-orientated.
PESTEL Model
Political factor: To understand media, we need to understand the political environment in which
they operate. The media industry may not want government regulation in some matters, but in this
case it certainly does want government intervention. The government’s protection of copyright is
crucial to the continued functioning of the media industry. Without government enforcement of
copyright laws, the for-profit media industry would be unable to survive. Thus, the relationship
between government and media is more complex than a simple “freedom of the press” slogan might
suggest. To make sense of it, we must understand the constitutional notion of “freedom of the press”
in historical context.
Economic factor: For most of the 20th Century, newspapers were the primary source of information
for the public. Whether the subject was sports, finance, or politics, newspapers reigned supreme. Just
as important, their ads were the easiest way to find job opportunities or to learn the price of groceries
at your town's supermarkets. The great majority of families therefore felt the need for a paper every
day, but understandably most didn't wish to pay for two. Advertisers preferred the paper with the
most circulation, and readers tended to want the paper with the most ads and news pages. Thus, when
two or more papers existed in a major city (which was almost universally the case a century ago), the
one that pulled ahead usually emerged as the stand-alone winner. After competition disappeared, the
paper's pricing power in both advertising and circulation was unleashed. Typically, rates for both
advertisers and readers would be raised annually – and the profits rolled in. For owners this was
economic heaven.
Social factors: Social factors influence people's choices and include the beliefs, values and attitudes
of society. So, understanding changes in this area can be crucial. Such changes can impact
purchasing behaviour. Consumer attitude is very important social factor.
Technological factor: Technology is increasingly competing with print media by opening access to
endless sources of news. It may now seem that the need of the reader to buy a newspaper for news
and the need of the advertiser to advertise in it is slowly receding. Thus, it is for the newspapers to
look at emerging options and to rework their traditional sources of revenue.
Environmental factor: Newspapers face significant challenges on the back of economic slowdown
and the consequent slowdown in advertising revenues, especially in the last quarter of 2008. Print
media industry has to adapt to a fast-moving environment and players need to draw upon new
capabilities to survive in this environment.
Legal factor: As a measure of policy liberalization, Government has allowed Indian edition of
foreign news magazines for facilitating wider readership at affordable prices. Also, Government has
recently announced facsimile edition of international newspapers to be brought to be India.
Government has reviewed the print advertisement policy and brought about changes to support small
and medium newspapers. As per that policy, advertisement support has been increased from 10% to
15% for small newspapers and from 30 to 35% for medium newspapers, in money terms. Minimum
publication period requirement drastically reduced from 36 months to 6 months for regional
languages newspapers.

Divya Bhaskar has developed a world class, state of art with most advanced
technology, printing infrastructure, where it is not only near the reader but is touching the

editions are 100% color Capacity. They have got 47 Printing centers with 65 state of the art
machines and an installed capacity of approx. 23.63 lacks copies per hour on overall basis.
In the history of Gujarat newspapers Divya Bhaskar is the first newspaper who has installed
state of the art, 3 Line KBA machine which can print 2.25 lac copies in an hour. It took only
one year in erecting Bhaskar Print Planet in Ahmedabad and just four months in installing
KBA machines. Normally, use of KBA machines was limited to English newspapers till now,
but by establishing a benchmark in the Gujarati journalistic world, now, Divya Bhaskar
would be printed on KBA machines. All the new machines and those being installed in future
will be known under the title of ‘Bhaskar Print Planet”. The KBA machines of its kind have
already been installed at Dainik Bhaskar, Jaipur and now it is all set to become the property of
Divya Bhaskar Ahmedabad.
The KBA machine is double-width machine capable of printing 32 columns in one go and
hence can print even a double-width gatefold. These sophisticated machines allow printing
and packaging of programmed number of copies, delivering them in precisely counted neatly
packed newspaper sets for immediate dispatch, which, in turn, negates the need for manual
counting and packing.
This saving of manual time and the KBA machines capability of printing 85,000 copies per
hour (which is almost 60 per cent more than regular machines) allow for late closure of edit
content, resulting in readers getting the latest new

organization where everything is organized and the production process goes through every
function step by step.

Hypothesis Test
There are two types of Hypothesis Test –
a. Independent T-Test
b. Anova Test
Both the tests provide the Inference that whether the Variables are related or not or we can say they shows
the relationship between Variables.
Moreover, both the tests show the Analysis of Hypothesis but here the preference has been given more to
One Way Anova. Therefore, following is the Analysis of Hypothesis by using Anova Test.
H0: Null Hypothesis
H01: There is no significant difference between gender and getting influenced by print media ads.

From the group statistics data, I understand that 61.5% people have said that they somewhere or
sometimes gets influenced while looking at newspaper ads.
From the independent sample T Test table, I understand that my value Sig is .060 greater than .05
that means I have to look after data of equal variance assumed where I found that my value of Sig 2
tailed is .212 again greater than .05, which means my null hypothesis is accepted.
It means there is no significant difference between gender and getting influenced by print media ads.
