a) CASE STUDY:-
One Monday morning, Sanjay Nagpal, a recent recruit from a reputed man- agement
institute in Manipal walked into the sales office at Chennai as a new sales trainee.
Raghavan, the Zonal Sales Manager for a large computer hardware firm, was there to
greet him. Raghavan's job consisted of overseeing the work of sales officers, field
executives and trainee salesmen numbering over 50 of three areas-Chennai,
Bangalore and Thiruvananthapuram. The sales growth of computers, parts and other
office equipment in his area was highly satisfactory, especially in recent years thanks to
the developmental initiatives taken by re- spective state governments in spreading
computer education in offices, schools, colleges, banks and other institutions.
Raghavan had collected several sales reports, catalogues and pamphlets describ- ing
in detail the types of office equipment sold by the company. After a pleasant chat about
their backgrounds, Raghavan gave Sanjay the collected material and showed him to
his assigned desk. Thereafter, Raghavan excused himself and did not return. Sanjay
spent the whole day scanning the material and at 5.00 pm he picked up his things and
went home.
