activities and decision of every business.
Financial management is that managerial activity which is concerned with the planning
and controlling of a firm financial reserve. Financial management as an academic
discipline has undergone fundamental changes as regards its scope and coverage. In the
early years of its evolution it was treated synonymously with the raising of funds. In the
current literature pertaining to this growing academic discipline, a broader scope so as to
include in addition to procurement of funds, efficient use of resources is universally
recognized. Financial analysis can be defined as a study of relationship between many
factors as disclosed by the statement and the study of the trend of these factors.

Industry Profile
3.1History of the watch market
The Indian watch industry began in the year 1961 with the commissioning of the
watch division of HMT. The first watch model manufactured by HMT was the Janata
model in the year 1962. HMT was the leader in the watch market till the Tatas formed
Titan Watches in association with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation in the
year 1987. They took a major strategy decision, which later changed the face of the
Indian watch market- to manufacture only quartz watches. Liberalization in 1992 and the
removal of quantitative restrictions due to WTO has opened the doors for many foreign
brands in the Indian market viz. Tissot, Swatch, Omega, Rado, TAG Heuer, Rolex and
many others. The import duties on watches are falling which makes the Indian market
look attractive for the global majors like Casio, Swatch and Citizen.
The success story began in 1984 with a joint venture between the Tata Group and the

Titan Industries reached out to the youth segment with Fastrack, its third brand, trendy

continues to grow and sets new standards for innovation and quality. The organization is
all geared to repeat the Titan and Tanishq success story with each new offering.
Watch is one of the consumer durables whose replacement rate is very high. The
replacement rate of watch is 33.8% (Source: India market demographics report,
1998). This is also due to the fact that the estimated scrap rate of wrist watches is 7.8%,
which is applicable after 6 years (Source: India market demographics report, 1998).
So due to high scrap rate, outdated models, and the shift from the mechanical watches to
the quartz watches is causing a very high replacement demand for watches. This along
with the low penetration levels represent the untapped market potential for watches in
India.
The major players in the Indian watch market include HMT, Titan and Timex.
The other players include Westar, Shivaki, Maxima, SITCO. Foreign brands such as
Cartier, Piaget, Omega, Tiffany‟s and Corrum, Gucci, Longines, Casio, Citizen, Tag
Heuer and Espirit are also making an inroad into the Indian market.
Titan has been consolidating its market share over the past decade. Timex
watches, which entered in India with collaboration with Titan, now independently has
also gained substantial market share.

The McKinsey 7S Framework
“Ensuring that all parts of your organization work in harmony”
How do you go about analyzing how well your organization is positioned to achieve its
intended objective? This is a question that has been asked for many years, and there are
many different answers. Some approaches look at internal factors, others look at external
ones, some combine these perspectives, and others look for congruence between various
aspects of the organization being studied. Ultimately, the issue comes down to which
factors to study.
While some models of organizational effectiveness go in and out of fashion, one that has
persisted is the McKinsey 7S framework.
The Seven-Ss is a framework for analyzing organizations and their effectiveness. It looks
at the seven key elements that make the organizations successful, or not: strategy;
structure; systems; style; skills; staff; and shared values.
The model shows that organizational immune systems and the many
interconnected variables involved make change complex, and that an effective change
effort must address many of these issues simultaneously.
7-S Model – A Systemic Approach to Improving Organizations
The 7-S model is a tool for managerial analysis and action that provides a structure with
The 7-S diagram illustrates the multiplicity interconnectedness of elements that define an
organization's ability to change. The theory helped to change manager's thinking about
how companies could be improved. It says that it is not just a matter of devising a new
strategy and following it through. Nor is it a matter of setting up new systems and letting
To be effective, your organization must have a high degree of fit, or internal alignment
among all the seven Ss. Each S must be consistent with and reinforce the other Ss. All Ss
are interrelated, so a change in one has a ripple effect on all the others. It is impossible to
make progress on one without making progress on all. Thus, to improve your
organization, you have to master systems thinking and pay attention to all of the seven

# The 3Ss across the top of the model are described as 'Hard Ss':-
Structure
Structure is the organizational chart and associated information that shows who reports to
whom and how tasks are both divided up and integrated. In other words, structures
describe the hierarchy of authority and accountability in an organization, the way the
organization's units relate to each other: centralized, functional divisions (top-down);
decentralized (the trend in larger organizations); matrix, network, holding, etc. These
relationships are frequently diagrammed in organizational charts. Most organizations use
some mix of structures - pyramidal, matrix or networked ones - to accomplish their goals.
Strategy
Strategies are plans an organization formulates to reach identified goals, and a set of
decisions and actions aimed at gaining a sustainable advantage over the competition.
It is the direction and scope of the company over the long term.It is the plan devised to
maintain and build competitive advantage over the competitors.
Systems
Systems define the flow of activities involved in the daily operation of business,
including its core processes and its support systems. They refer to the procedures,
processes and routines that are used to manage the organization and characterize how
important work is to be done.

# The 4Ss across the bottom of the model are less tangible, more cultural in
nature, and were termed 'Soft Ss' by McKinsey. These are :-
Shared Values
“The interconnecting center of McKinsey's model is: Shared Values”
Shared values are commonly held beliefs, mindsets, and assumptions that shape how an
organization behaves – its corporate culture. Shared values are what engender trust.
Values are the identity by which a company is known throughout its business areas, what
the organization stands for and what it believes in, it central beliefs and attitudes. These
values must be explicitly stated as both corporate objectives and individual values.
When the model was first developed, these are the core values of the company that are
evidenced in the corporate culture and the general work ethic.
Style
"Style" refers to the cultural style of the organization, how key managers behave in
achieving the organization's goals, how managers collectively spend their time and
attention, and how they use symbolic behavior.How management acts is more important
than what management says.
Style represents the leadership approach of top management and the company's overall
operating approach.
Staff
"Staff" refers to the number and types of personnel within the organization and how
companies develop employees and shape basic values. It is the company's people
resources and how they are developed, trained, and motivated.
Skills
"Skills" refer to the dominant distinctive capabilities and competencies of the personnel
or of the organization as a whole.
"Hard" elements are easier to define or identify and management can directly influence
them: These are strategy statements; organization charts and reporting lines; and formal
processes and IT systems.
"Soft" elements, on the other hand, can be more difficult to describe, and are less tangible
and more influenced by culture. However, these soft elements are as important as the
hard elements if the organization is going to be successful.
The way the model is presented in Figure above depicts the interdependency of the
elements and indicates how a change in one affects all the others.
For example, a change in HR-systems like internal career plans and management training
will have an impact on organizational culture (management style) and thus will affect
structures, processes, and finally characteristic competences of the organization.
In change processes, many organizations focus their efforts on the hard S‟s:- Strategy,
Structure and Systems. They care less for the soft S‟s, Skills, Staff, Style and Shared
Values. Peters and Waterman in “In Search of Excellence” commented however, that
most successful companies work hard at these soft S‟s. The soft factors can make or
break a successful change process, since new structures and strategies are difficult to
build upon inappropriate cultures and values. These problems often come up in the
dissatisfying results of spectacular mega-mergers. The lack of success and synergies in
such mergers is often based in a clash of completely different cultures, values, and styles,
which make it difficult to establish effective common systems and structures.

GENERAL INTRODUCTION
In the words of Frich Kohlar “The performance is a general term applied to a part
or to all the conducts of activities of an organization over a period of time often with
reference to past or projected cost efficiency, management responsibility or
accountability or the like. Thus, not just the presentation, but the quality of results
achieved refers to the performance. Performance is used to indicate firm‟s success,
conditions, and compliance.
Financial performance refers to the act of performing financial activity. In broader sense,
financial performance refers to the degree to which financial objectives being or has been

to compare industries or sectors in aggregation.
Ratio analysis
Trend analysis.
Comparative financial statement is those statements which have been designed in a way
so as to provide time perspective to the consideration of various elements of financial
position embodied in such statements. In these statements, figures for two or more
periods are placed side by side to facilitate comparison.
But the income statement and balance sheet can be prepared in the form of
comparative financial statement.
Common-size financial statement are those in which figures reported are converted into
percentages to some common base in the income statement the sales figure is assumed to
be 100 and all figures are expressed as a percentage of sales. Similarly, in the
balance sheet, the total of assets or liabilities is taken as 100 and all the figures are
expressed as a percentage of this total.
Ratio analysis:
Ratio analysis is a widely used tool of financial analysis. The term ratio in it refers to the
relationship expressed in mathematical terms between two individual figures or group of
figures connected with each other in some logical manner and are selected from financial
statements of the concern. The ratio analysis is based on the fact that a single accounting
figure by it self may not communicate any meaningful information but when expressed
as a relative to some other figure, it may definitely provide some significant information
the relationship between two or more accounting figure/groups is called a financial ratio
helps to express the relationship between two accounting figures in such a way that users
can draw conclusions about the performance, strengths and weakness of a firm.
Classification of ratios:
A) Liquidity ratios
B) Leverage ratios
C) Activity ratios
D) Profitability ratios
