History
Indian Electronic industry dates back to the early 1960’s. Electronics was one industry initially
restricted to the development and maintenance of fundamental communication system including
radio-broadcasting, telephonic and telegraphic communication, and augmentation of defense
capabilities. Until 1984, the electronic Industry was primarily government owned and then in
1980’s witnessed a rapid growth of the electronics industry due to sweeping economic changes,
resulting in the liberalization and globalization of the economy.
The economic transformation all over the world was motivated by two compelling factors – the
determination to boost economic growth, and to accelerate the development of export-oriented
industries, like the electronics industry. By 1991 in the country private investments – both
foreign and domestic were encouraged. The easing of foreign investment norms, allowance of
100% foreign equity, reduction in custom tariffs, and relicensing of several consumer electronic
products has attracted remarkable amount of foreign collaboration and investment.
The Domestic Economic industry also responded favorably to the policies of the government.
The initiatives of the electronic field to private sector enabled entrepreneurs to establish the
industries to meet demand in the market. Improvements in the Indian Electronics industry have
not been limited to a particular segment, but encompass all its sectors. This pace made in the
areas of commercial software, telecommunications, electronics, instrumentation, positioning and
networking systems and defense. The result therefore has been a significant trade growth that
began in the late 1990’s. The Indian Electronics Industry is a text for investors who consider
India as a potential investment opportunity.

Brief Introduction
Indian electronics companies had majority benefited from the economic liberalization policies of
the 1980’s, including the loosening of restrictions on technology and component imports,
delicensing, foreign investment and reduction of excise duties. Output from electronics plants in
india grew from Rs.1.8 billion in FY 1970 to Rs.8.1 billion in FY 1980 and Rs.123 billion in
1992. Most of the expansion took place in the production of computers and consumer
electronics. India Production of computer rose from 7500 units in 1985 to 60000 units in 1988
and to an estimated 200000 units in 1992. During this period, major advances were made in the
domestic computer industry that led to more sales. Consumer electronics in india accounts for
about 30% of totl electronics production of the country.
In 1990 the electronic production included 5 million television sets, 5 million tape recorders, 5
million electronic watches and 140000 video cassette recorders. The Indian engineering sector is
large and varied and provided around 12% of India’ exports in the mid-1990’s. Two subsectors,
electronics and motor vehicles, are the most dynamic in all the sectors.

Market Capitalization
With per capita disposable income and private consumption having doubled in the past 7 years,
India has emerged as one of the largest markets for electronic products in the world.
The electronics market valued at $118 bn in 2019-20 is segmented as Mobile Phones (24%),
Consumer Electronics (22%), Strategic Electronics (12%), Computer Hardware (7%), LEDs
(2%) and Industrial Electronics (34%) comprising of Auto, Medical and other industrial
electronic products.
 Over 2.5X growth in domestic electronics production in 5 years; From $29 bn (2014) to
$75.7 bn (2019-2020)
 Over 5X growth in production of mobile phones in 5 years; from 60 mn units (2014-15)
to 330 mn units (2019-20).
 Domestic Electronic Components market in India for 2019 is $20.8 bn (excluding
imported PCB-Assemblies)
 Digital Transactions per capita per annum have increased ~10x in 5 years.
 India is a global R&D destination, with 1140+ R&D Centers of MNCs in India
employing 900,000+ professionals
 Export of Electronic Goods was valued at $1146.63 bn in August 2021 with a positive
growth of 31.49% over exports of $872.04 bn in August 2020.
Challenges
A complex value chain: The electronics industry is constantly changing due to disruptive
innovation, thereby increasing the pressure on the value chain to upgrade continuously. The
sourcing and contractual interdependencies between OEMs and suppliers are now more complex
due to the highly advanced technology of the components, the number of components required
for a single finished product, the level of aggregation or assembly required, and the need to adapt
to changes in product design. The Indian ecosystem for electronic components is still evolving
and has a long way to go.
A capital intensive industry with inadequate raw material availability: The electronics industry is
primarily dependent on the number and competence of domestic chip fabrication centres (fab
centres). Fab centres require a dedicated ecosystem, which involves investment, the know-how
of chip fabrication, raw material supplies, continuity of demand, and unit upgradation
competence. Given the current scenario, India lacks most of the necessary ammunition for the
development of domestic chip fabrication units. Thus, the design and development of electronic
products are often outsourced to ODMs (original design manufacturers) in other countries with
stronger designing and manufacturing capabilities.
Sustainability: Emerging regulations and standards for cleaner and greener technology are
forcing companies to be accountable for the manufacturing process as well as the final product.
The entire recycling and disposal process for electronics needs to be considered as a vital part of
the product life cycle.
E-waste management: India ranks fifth globally among top e-waste producing nations. The
exponential increase in the quantum of e-waste is driven by the rise in usage as well as the
growing pace of upgrades. Consumers are discarding old PCs, mobiles, tablets, and other
electronics a lot sooner than before. However, with the awareness campaigns by MeitY, e-waste
management is gradually being taken seriously in the industry.

The Indian market growth has predominantly seen consumption-driven growth in the last several
years. However, the government’s support for the industry has been strong, with numerous
conducive policies. Growth in our electronics manufacturing industry will establish India among
the leading economies of the world. With this goal, it is expected that the growth momentum will
be sustained over the coming decade.
As per a report published by the World Economic Forum, “The vision for the future of
consumption in India is anchored in the growth of the upper-middle-income and high-income
segments, which will grow from being one in four households today to one in two households by
2030.”
These new consumers will drive the demand for consumer appliances, such as air conditioners,
washing machines, and others. These product categories are also the cornerstone of the boom in
consumer electronics sales. While the growth is predominantly consumer-driven, the industry is
also expected to drive innovation to increase the share of electronics across several applications.
In the automotive industry, the government has released a draft notification to ban all internal
cumbustion engine powered two-wheelers and three-wheelers by 2023 and 2025, respectively.
The proposed change has created the momentum to attract EV companies (manufacturers and
their suppliers) to explore investments in Indian manufacturing. Similarly, a newer technology
like 5G is likely to drive growth and consumption of the Indian electronics industry.
With future investments in semiconductors, electronic components and ICs, India is looking set
to welcome another wave of growth in the electronics sector. This transition will be fueled by a
large young population, increasing research initiatives, and favorable investment policies. The
impetus provided by the government will give further encouragement to domestic manufacturing
as India prepares to be the next global hub for electronics production and exports.

Working Condition
Working conditions in electronics plants are generally good. Most plants are modern, clean, and
quiet. Although the work is not strenuous, some assembly line jobs tend to be monotonous. The
workweek is usually forty hours long. Many plant workers in the electronics industry belong to
labor unions.

LITERATUR REVIEW
1.Social Customer Relationship Management
Due to technological advancement, traditional CRM approaches has become outdated
now. In the current scenario, the customers are deciding the communication channels and driving
conversations, and companies need to cuddle this shift. Social CRM is the new buzzword and an
effective way to handle this innovative change. Social Customer Relationship Management
(Social CRM) is an emerging concept that incorporates traditional CRM and social media.
SCRM is equally beneficial for organisation and customers. The main objective of this paper is
to present a review of scholarly literature on the benefits of social CRM for companies and
factors influencing its adoption. An extensive literature review has been done to find out the
benefits of Social CRM and factors influencing its adoption. To study a broad view of social
CRM adoption and factors influencing its adoption, the publications of interest include scholarly
journal papers from information systems and marketing disciplines and conference proceedings.
In the present study, selected publications on Social Customer Relationship management were
reviewed, and findings were classified into two categories: the benefits of social CRM for
companies and customers, and the factors influencing CRM adoption.
2. Analysing the role of E-CRM in managing customer relation: A critical review of the literature
E-commerce has emerged as a convenient tool for companies to serve customers with
integration of online sales and marketing. Despite being an automated self-service solution to
customers, the e-CRM applications lacks focus on effectively serving each customer needs. The
aim of the present study is to explore the concept of e-CRM and its various strategies in
designing its practices and applications for building customer relations through review of
literature. The study carries strong implications as it identifies the strategic role of ecustomer
relationship management (e-CRM) in providing personalized and customized support to
customers.
3. Analyzing Online Customer Reviews – An Interdisciplinary Literature Review And Research
Agenda

Online customer reviews increasingly exert influence on customers’ purchase decisions


when shopping online and give new importance to the concept of word-of-mouth. This is
reflected in a growing body of academic literature across varying disciplines that draws on online
customer reviews as source of information. However, these studies apply varying methods and
obtain contradicting results. We conduct a systema (Dr. Lokesh Arora, 14- sep-2018) (Nidhi
Kampani1, 2020) (Manuel Trenz, 2013)tic and interdisciplinary literature review to examine
how online customer review data is used in academic research and which insights these studies
provide. Analyzing 49 journal articles we find that the most studies investigate online customer
reviews’ effect on sales, review helpfulness or review manipulation. Furthermore, the variety of
product categories and review websites these studies receive their information from is rather
limited. The results reveal that previous research can only provide an imperfect understanding of
the impact of electronic wordof- mouth on business. We therefore develop a twofold research
agenda with regards to (a) studies investigating customer reviews and its effects and (b) issues
with respect to the use of customer reviews as a data source in academic research.

4. Electronic Customer Relationship Management, Customer Satisfaction, and Customer


Loyalty: A Comprehensive Review Study.
Electronic customer relationship management (E-CRM) is the implementation of E-
technology or internet-based technology in order to attain customer relationship management
(CRM) objectives. According to the literature, E-CRM is about technology, processes and people
and E-CRM is to gain customer loyalty. The impact of E-CRM on customer satisfaction and
customer loyalty has been investigated by previous scholars. The major purpose of current study
is to review
relevant studies of which have been conducted on determination of E-CRM on customer
satisfaction and loyalty of customer. In order to achieve this, authors searched various related
journals indexed in valid databases for collection of sufficient bibliography and then reviewing
them in details. Findings provide information about each source, indicating what can be found
there and how the information can be helpful. This article fulfills an identified
information/resources need and offers
practical help to an individual and academic starting out a research on E-CRM and its
relationship with customer satisfaction and loyalty. Moreover, this study will bring helpful
insights for the managers of service industries to implement the E-CRM in the best shape and
match it with their organizations or industries’ culture to enhance level of customer loyalty and
gaining more profitability and revenue for their own businesses.

5. A Systematic Review of Extant Literature in Social Media in the Marketing Perspective


Social media applications have been extensively used and adopted by individuals and
organisations in most aspects of daily life. Likewise, researchers have spent much effort in
examining and exploring the effectiveness and effi‐ ciency of engaging such applications over
the marketing context. This study, therefore, realizes the necessity of conducting a review of
prior literature of social media over the marketing context especially in the light of the fact that
only a small number of studies have been reviewed and conducted in this area. Accord‐ ingly, the
aim of this study is to systematically review the current literature of social media in the
marketing context. By reviewing approximately 71 articles, this study provides an overview of
the main themes and trends covered by the relevant literature such as the role of social media on
advertising, the electronic word of mouth, customers’ relationship management, and firms’
brands and performance.

6. Online Customer Experience: A Review ofthe Business-to-Consumer Online Purchase


Context
Customer interactions with an organization’s website create opportunities for positive
experiences that can lead to long-term relationship building. The range of
potentialllinteractions is now quite diverse, including product information search, purchase
transaction and/or service delivery. The domain of customer experience (CE) is well developed
in the face-to-face context, but little attention has been paid to exploring the concept in the online
context. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the online consumer literature in
order to inform understanding of the antecedents and consequences of online customer
experience (OCE) in the purchase context. The paper offers four important contributions for both
academics and practitioners. First, it adds to understanding of OCE in the purchase context and,
second, specifically recognize sand discusses the antecedents of OCE by drawing on
existing literature relating to online consumer purchase. Third, it proposes the potential
consequences of OCE and provides a framework for future testing. Finally, the paper
addresses a problem of relevance to both academics and practitioners, and proposes future
research and managerial implications.
7. Social media and luxury: A systematic literature review
Luxury, historically an exclusive, rare and elitist phenomenon, is changing. This is
predominantly driven by technological developments, particularly social media, and the rising
level of consumer empowerment in the marketplace. A maturing stream of research has emerged
assessing the effects of social media platforms on luxury brands, offerings and consumers.
However, there has been no comprehensive analysis of this extant literature synthesizing the
current state
of knowledge and postulating future research directions. This paper addresses this gap by
utilizing a systematic literature review approach. A total of 115 articles were collected and
analysed and five core themes were identified, examining (1) luxury brand strategy, (2) luxury
brand social media communications, (3) luxury consumer attitudes and perceptions, (4)
engagement and (5) social media’s influence on brand performance-related outcomes. These
themes are comprehensively
explored to understand the myriad impacts of social media on luxury businesses before
conceptualizing the themes as a holistic framework explaining social media’s role within luxury.
The framework developed highlights the fragmented yet progressive nature of research on the
confluence of social media and luxury, and signals fruitful avenues for further inquiry. It is
proposed that scholarly attention is directed towards multiple lines of inquiry, including social
media’s role in luxury brand construction online, social media’s role in facilitating ‘moments of
luxury’, younger consumers’ luxury consumption, as well as the integration of both future
innovative technological developments and novel social media platforms within luxury branding.

8. Past, present, and future of customer engagement

Customer engagement (CE) is a marketing concept that emerged after the new
millennium. Despite flourishing interest on CE among marketing academics and professionals,
no review, to date, has provided a comprehensive overview of the past, present, and future trends
of CE. Instead, past reviews on CE are often limited to conceptual (e.g., construct) or contextual
(e.g., hospitality and tourism) insights derived using traditional review methods (e. g.,
descriptive) with a relatively modest review sample (e.g., tens to low hundreds), which provide a
limited understanding of the field in its entirety. To address this gap, this review conducted a
combination of bibliometric and thematic analyses on 861 CE articles published in 377 Scopus-
indexed journals between 2006 and 2020. As a result, this review reveals the major trends in
article, author, country, and journal performance, as well as the past, present, and future thematic
trends of CE research, and thus, provides a one stop, state-of-the-art overview of CE that
marketing scholars can rely on to position and design future CE research.

9. The impact of digital transformation on the retailing value chain

Consumers have traditionally made purchase decisions at the store shelf, giving
institutional
brick-and-mortar retailers great power to learn about and influence behaviors and preferences.
With the rise of e-commerce, mobile shopping, and most recently smart technologies, new
competitors threaten this long-standing supremacy. Adopting a value-creation perspective, we
analyze how digitization started the erosion of institutional retailing as the primary interface to
the customer. We develop a framework that identifies five new sources of value creation and
propose how these advance and transform competition for this interface. Depending on the
importance of the new sources of value creation (in different purchase situations), stationary
retailing may prevail as an important interaction point in a multichannel decision journey.
However, increasing diffusion of branded-product platforms including connected devices and
online retail platforms is shifting this authority to new players. For the parties involved in this
multilayered competition, acknowledging the changes and actively managing their position in the
evolving eco-systems is crucial.

10. Influence of the Determinants of Online Customer Experience on Online Customer


Satisfaction
The role of online retailing is increasing with each passing day for any business and
therefore offering value to the customer which in turn also yield benefit to the retailer and
differentiate it from the competitors is an important task. By getting an idea of how customer
perceive and evaluate the offerings, retailers may be able to influence the customers in that
particular direction. This research paper aims in identifying the major factors or attributes that
affect the customers, evaluating their overall experience while shopping on the digital platform
and also their impact on online customer satisfaction. This study aims to explore the
determinants of online customer experience of Indian shoppers and its effect on the satisfaction
of the customers. For the purpose, 325 e-shoppers were surveyed through online mode using
snow ball sampling technique. To achieve the objective, exploratory factor analysis was used and
multiple regressions were applied. Furthermore, the findings suggest that economic value,
customization, post-purchase experience and customer services are the major factors on which
customers evaluate their overall online experience and satisfaction.
11. Social Media in Marketing: A Review and Analysis of the Existing Literature
People worldwide are largely engaged and attached with the web 2.0 technology and
Social media platforms. By the same token, businesses start looking at such technologies as
effective mechanisms to interact more with their customers. Equally, the related issues of social
media marketing have been also the focus of attention for academics and researchers to expand
the current understanding about such phenomena over the marketing area. Accordingly, the main
aim of this study is to systematically examine and review the current studies that have conducted
over the related area of social media and marketing. By reviewing approximately 144 articles,
the researchers were able to provide an overview of the main themes and trends covered by the
relevant literature such as the role of social media on advertising, the electronic word of mouth,
customers’ relationship management, and firms’ brands and performance. In this review, it has
also studied the most common research approaches adopted to examine the related issues of
social media marketing. Further discussion is also introduced followed by an explanation of the
current review limitations and recommended directions to be examined by future studies.
12. customer relationship management: a review and classification

This research identifies the effective components that influence the evolution of the
concepts of customer relationship management (CRM) research strategies and to present the
academic literature review and classifications of CRM. It provides an overview of CRM research
and identifies the gaps in the previous CRM literature review. To achieve this, our research is
based on the period from 2006 to 2010. Data is collected from 618 research papers on CRM for
the 2006-2010 period as sourced from top online databases. The data are then analysed by
capturing the keywords of articles to determine the different perspectives to the study of CRM.
The components of CRM are then classified. The emerging schema is then used to review the
literature. The results show the current state of the art in that period (2006-2010) for CRM
research, the comprehension of CRM components, their categories and techniques.

13. Exploring Social Customer Relationship Management Adoption in Micro, Small and
Medium-Sized Enterprises.

With the emergence of social media, customer relationship management has undergone
noticeable changes and gained a great deal of attention from researchers and practitioners in
recent years. In this paper, we provide additional insights into how intensively business-to-
customer micro, small and medium-sized enterprises adopt social customer relationship
management. Based on the literature review and insights from interviews with six micro, small
and medium-sized enterprise owners/managers, we developed a conceptual research model that
integrates the antecedents, intensity of social customer relationship management adoption, and
performance outcomes. For the intensity of social customer relationship management adoption,
we applied process-based conceptualization consisting of the customer engagement process and
customer data management process. Then we empirically tested a conceptual research model by
using data collected in a survey of 119 micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Slovenia.
We found that not all antecedents are equally relevant to both processes of the intensity of social
customer relationship management adoption. Additionally, we found that the intensity of social
customer relationship management adoption has a positive effect on customer relationship
performance. Based on these findings, we provide recommendations for further research and
offer practical implications for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises considering social
customer relationship management adoption.

14. Current Trend and Literature on Electronic CRM Adoption Review


Electronic Customer Relationship Management (e-CRM) is a collection of processes,
concepts, and tools that allow an organization to maximize their e-business applications. The
purpose of e-CRM is not only to bring about changes in the area of marketing, but also to
improve the company's efficiency in managing customers, then to increase customer service,
safeguard precious customers, and to help provide organizations with analytic capabilities. The
various opportunities provided by e-CRM including interactive and improvised customer
relationships, managing customers' touch points and personalization options, even more than
that, are a powerful way to gain a competitive advantage. Computer technology including
customer profiles, decision support, and data warehouses are all applicable in e-CRM, however,
web and computer related development make various additional technologies applicable to e-
CRM. Such as voice portals (Interactive Voice Response), bots, virtual customer representatives
and web phones (IP Telephony/VoIP). This study provides an analysis and review of e-CRM and
its technologies. The 14 papers are the ones that satisfied the inclusion criteria used to select
systems for the study. The summary of findings shows that the latest e-CRM technology has its
advantages in helping customer service and the benefits of e-CRM from various aspects such as
current challenges, developments, comparison between CRM and e-CRM, benefits, impacts,
customer relationship, customer satisfaction and the importance of e-CRM. The result of this
survey will give future direction to potential.

15. Investigating trust in E- commerce : A literature review and a model for its formation in
customer relationships.
As a key issue for the successful proliferation of e-commerce, trust is fast becoming the
focus of many IS research initiatives. This paper presents a review and categorization of the trust
literature in e-commerce aiming to provide the state of the art as far as research is concerned.
Five categories of trust in e-commerce are identified and analyzed into three major dimensions,
namely determinants, approaches and consequences. Our analysis indicates a lack of research
regarding processes for the development of trust and relationship building. The paper seeks to fill
this gap by proposing a theoretical model for the formation of trust in customer-business
relationships.

16. Exploring Key Factors for Customer Satisfaction in Online Shopping: A Systematic
Literature Review
In the context of online shopping, customer satisfaction is considered as a important
matter to be focused by marketers and organizations. Consequently, identification of what really
affects customer satisfaction in online context is useful from many aspects. Previous researchers
have attempted to address this important concept mostly through their empirical studies, utilizing
limited number of factors. A closer examination reveals that those studies have utilized different
sets of factors and been performed in different contexts. Overall, prior studies remain broad and
appear relatively fragmented. At present, there is a lack of research which have used a systematic
literature review process to examine the factors affecting online customer satisfaction. Therefore,
the purpose of this research is to perform a comprehensive study on literature related to online
customer satisfaction and analyze the factors identified by previous scholars under different
criteria. Accordingly, the researchers gathered all possible studies related to online customer
satisfaction between the period 2000 and January 2019. The study identified forty-one previous
studies done by different researchers which revealed fifty-one different factors affecting online
customer satisfaction.
17. Online Marketing Strategies for Increasing Sales Revenues of Small Retail Businesses

Small retail business leaders use online marketing to connect with consumers and the
community. The purpose of this qualitative multiple case study was to explore the strategies
some small retail business leaders use to implement online marketing to increase sales. Data
were collected from 4 small retail business owners who successfully used strategies to
implement online marketing in California. The conceptual framework for this study was
Rogers’s diffusion of innovation theory. Data collection techniques and sources were
semistructured, face-to-face interviews, and review of public business documents, company
websites, social media websites, and analytical tools. A thematic analysis of the data yielded 4
themes: social media platforms and strategies, online marketing strategies and challenges, online
content strategies, and follow-up strategies. Business leaders of small retail organizations who
want to increase revenue, remain competitive, overcome challenges associated with online
marketing, and increase communication by implementing new technology might elect to align
with the strategies identified in this study. The implications for positive social change include the
opportunity for small retail business leaders to increase revenue while providing more job
opportunities to benefit employees, employees’ families, and the community.

18. Customer relationship management : a qualitative cross – case analysis in the uk and Saudi
Arabia

The current study focuses on customer relationship management initiatives in different


organizations and in different countries. A proposed CRM model was adopted and used to
evaluate the CRM initiatives of the chosen organizations in both Saudi Arabia and the UK. The
scope of this research was affected by the differing levels of cooperation received from the
organizations which participated in the case studies, thereby resulting in differing sizes of the
said case studies. The adopted CRM conceptual model was used to evaluate the level of CRM
maturity in the organizations studied. This model is believed to be a significant contribution to
the theory and field of CRM. This model could be used by organizations to evaluate their CRM
initiatives and assess their CRM readiness and status. The proposed CRM model specifies the
basic parameters of the CRM sequential stages and their essential supporting conditions. Another
important contribution of the study is that it identifies and highlights the potential effects of the
cultural disparities existing between Saudi Arabia and the UK on CRM initiatives yet to be
undertaken in both countries. In depth open-ended questions were used to collect the data. The
analysis of the data gathered went through two main stages. The first stage was to transcribe the
data collected from all the organizations chosen and produce detailed write-ups for each case. In
every case the write-ups were similarly structured to help the researcher in the second stage, the
cross-case analysis. The cross-case analysis was based on the researcher’s proposed conceptual
CRM model.

21. Online Review Systems: How emotional language drives sales


How does emotional expression in online reviews affect sales? To answer this question, a
model is constructed based on theories of sentiment. This model is tested experimentally.
Controlling for online review valence online review emotionality affects product sales. The
impact is moderated by product type, but not by product price. Specifically, online review
language that expresses intense positive or negative emotions increases sales for hedonic
products, but it doesn’t affect sales for utilitarian products. This result has implications for the
design of online review display algorithms.
