hypothesis of a payroll process.
. A hypothesis is a testable statement that gives the relationship between two or more
variables.
There are two kinds of hypothesis namely
1. Null Hypothesis
2. Alternative Hypothesis
A null hypothesis is a statement that is given to prove that there is no statistical
significance between two different variables. The following is an example of null hypothesis
Mr VB sees that his investment strategy produces higher average returns than simply
buying and holding a stock. The null hypothesis claims that there is no difference between the
two average returns, and Chuck has to believe this until he proves otherwise. Chuck sees that his
investment strategy produces higher average returns than simply buying and holding a stock. The
null hypothesis claims that there is no difference between the two average returns, and Chuck has
to believe this until he proves otherwise.
The alternative hypothesis for the following statement is the investment strategy gives
him the maximum return.
Alternative hypothesis (or maintained hypothesis or research hypothesis) is the
opposite of the null hypothesis. It is the main thing that is useful to conduct research.
Summer Internship Report Hypothesis testing is done on the basis of both null and alternative hypothesis. Here in this
market research the following is the hypothesis given

Growth rate of HR Industry:
The next thing that is to be considered while analyzing a industry is
to have a idea of growth rate of the industry.

brief manner. This is because the particular segment of payroll process falls under this industry.

Have a clear understanding of growth rate generally diagrams and graphs are used to depict the
growth . Because symbols and pictures are much more effective in communicating results to the
end users.

CHAPTER 3
COMPANY PROFILE
Summer Internship Report
Company Profile:
Now in chapter 3 we do come to a company profile. Generally a company, firm or a
business enterprise comes at the bottom level of an economic importance. A company is a micro
segment of a economy. Every company has its own profile with its own products/services vision
mission and the strategy management structure and standard operating procedure(SOP). Fa`cil
Internet Technologies Private Limited has its own vision and mission strategy objectives and
management structure. Here in this report we are going to see the profile of the company from
which the study was conducted.
Facil Internet Technologies is a leading technology organization founded by seasoned
management professionals and alumnus of IIM and headquartered in the “Silicon Valley of
India”, Bangalore.
Facil aims to make technology affordable, convenient and scalable for Enterprises,
Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and Consumers with an “Outside-In” Approach. The
“Outside-In” Approach is aimed at creatively delivering value to customers through “Customer
Centricity” and “Customer Intimacy” through “Collaboration” and thereby maximizing long-run
shareholder value.
The following Diagram depicts the four pillars which Facil Internet Technologies
operates namely
Summer Internship Report
Value Creation:
Value is a term that is used in corporate world. Enterprises today aim at providing
maximum value for their customer by providing products/services which are of superior quality.
Facil also aims at maximizing value to the customers by providing superior quality of services.
Innovation:
Innovation is the creation of better or more effective products, services
Strategy & Execution:
Strategy and Execution are the two important things that are must for a business
enterprise to be successful. At Fa`cil the management team is responsible for formulating good
strategy. Similarly after strategy formulation the execution is very important .Fa`cil has a very
good.
Summer Internship Report Quality:
Quality is also a very important factor for success of a service in the market. The
service or product must have quality. Also the service should be rendered at time to the
clients/customers
Organizational Chart:
Organizational chart is the way in which the management of a company is
structured. Generally the organizational chart/hierarchy chart is designed mainly on the basis of
two parameters namely
Nature of business
Size of the organization.
In case of a FMCG company the organizational structure is designed
separately on the basis of product categories.
In Facil Internet Technologies the organization structure is designed in “outside
in approach” this is because the company believies that the customer is the key to attain business
Objectives. The Board, CEO Senior and middle level of management are assigned to the
customer in order to make the things done for them.
Summer Internship Report
As Facil is a startup it is a having a Flat organization (also known as horizontal organization) hierarchy which means only few or no levels of intervening management between staff and managers. The idea behind is that well-trained workers will be more productive when they are more directly involved in the decision making process, rather than closely supervised by many layers of management.
3.2 Advantages
Customer-Centric Focus
People who service customer needs understand who the target audience should be, what their needs are, how they view pricing, and how to sell the product. In a flat organization, managers are brought into the process of
Summer Internship Report
accomplishing work for clients while workers are asked to make more decisions, bringing them more into the management arena. A flat organization moves everyone closer to the customer so that everyone understands the needs of those people using the product or service.
Employee Empowerment
Less managers mean that in many cases, employees need to be able to make decisions without intervention from a higher layer of authority. More training of employees so that everyone better understands how a company can achieve its
goals and keep customers happy. In the long term, employees are freer to service the customer as they'd like, which leads to higher retention of employees with higher job satisfaction and also more satisfied customers.
Flexibility
Organizations relying on a flat structure need to cross-train employees to fill in for others quickly when special situations arise. This cross-training makes the organization more reflexively when problems arise, and creates a speedy growth
business, which is able to solve customer problems and fix any complaints that arise faster than a traditional organization.
Accountability
Often in a traditional operation it's easy to "pass the buck" to another employee. Because a flat organization needs well-defined areas of focus, employee accountability is much higher. This makes it easier for
managers to assess strengths and weaknesses of employees and look for sales or efficiency opportunities in the system.
Cost
A flat organization is less costly because there are less people in the management chain and more persons touching the end product or service. Cost per piece of product falls dramatically as layers of management
overhead are reduced. New hire training costs also lower as retention levels increase.
Summer Internship Report
3.3 Disadvantages
Confusing Leadership
In a flat organizational structure, the layers of leadership are few but leadership tends to be more organic in nature. Since managers are on equal footing and involved in the same projects together, they may give employees different tasks in a confusing manner. Unless the process is very clear, an employee may be trying to work for two bosses at the same time, leading to confusing and contradictory instructions.
Limited Structures
Flat organizational structures can only last so long. As a business grows and eventually goes public, the flat structure cannot stay. A public business needs a board of directors to evolve into a corporation, and a more complex business structure to expand into multiple branches.
Employee Role Confusion
Just as manager roles can become confused in a flat structure, so can employee roles. An employee may go to work for a flat organization expecting to do one job, but find out that pieces of many other jobs are also required as needed. This makes it difficult for some employees to focus and specialize at their jobs.
3.4 Impact on Employees
AccuracyFlat organizations do not have this issue as there are less layers or people for the message to travel across. Communication accuracy increases greatly in flat organizations.
SpeedSpeed of communication is a big advantage for flat organizations. In a flat organizational structure, only one or two approvals are usually necessary and this speed allows new products and services to be implemented faster and with less red tape. Speed increases with fewer levels of management.
Summer Internship Report
OwnershipFlat organizational structures produce a greater degree of ownership within an organization. Employees who are closer to the customer are more accountable for their decisions and can take action on the spot to please a customer. Your employees feel more empowered and responsible for their actions when they do not have to seek permission from several layers of management. Ownership of your employee's job duties is a major benefit of flat organizations. Employees act more like owners when they feel that their decisions affect the success and profitability of your company.
EffectivenessYour employee's effectiveness also increases in a flat organization. Rules, regulations and reporting structures are much less complicated. Understanding expectations and assignments is easier when there are only one or two managers involved in supervising an employee or department. Conflicts between departments is reduced with a flat organizational structure and cooperation increases when everyone needs the assistance of others to succeed. Fewer layers of management allows your associates to operate with greater flexibility which leads to fewer conflicts and increased effectiveness for everyone.

Findings
The study was mainly conducted not only to study the organization structure functional
departments and their functioning in the organization. The major objective of the study the
consumer behavior.
Consumer behavior is the main aspect that is to be considered before developing a
product/service of a particular organization. This is because a organization needs to understand
various factors of the market and the external environment in order to find out whether the
product has a market potential. This could be understood only when the consumer behavior of a
particular market is studied.
There are two types of business systems namely
Business to Business
Business to Consumer
And there is a difference in the type of consumers namely
Summer Internship Report
Corporate Consumer
Retail Consumer
The market of Business to Business enterprise is much different from the Business to
Consumer enterprise so it should be understood that market research must be done order to find
out the consumer behavior. Before entering into any market to analyze the market place a
analysis is done it is PESTEL Analysis.
PESTEL stands for
Political
Economic
Social
Technological
Legal
This should be done in order to find out whether the environmental factors are affecting
the business of any enterprise.
Political Environment is important because political instability
This study was conducted at Facil internet Technologies Pvt. Ltd to understand the Organizational Structure, Various Functional Departments like Production, Finance, Marketing, Human Resource, & IT, the inter dependence on each other and the services offered by the organization.
After spending 6 weeks at Facil Internet Technologies Pvt. Ltd. The major findings about the industry and organization are as follows:
6.11.1 About Industry:
There are many Small and Medium size organizations having number of employees 10 – 50, are facing lots of challenges while processing the
Summer Internship Report
payrolls of their employees and not satisfied with their current method of payroll.
The major challenge faced by the Human Resource department of many organizations is the continuous changes in the statutory obligations which they are unable to keep the update.
As the number of employees in the organization is increasing the challenges for payroll process is getting increased.
The organizations which are using online or offline methods of payroll processing are lagging behind in the knowledge of payroll processing.
The industry requires more number of technical experts who can process payroll.
6.11.2 About Company
Being a startup, all the departments are well organized, functioning very well and active and managed.
The organization is having flat structure and divided into several units like Production, Finance, Marketing, Human Resource, & IT. These all departments are headed by the head of the organization but at the same time they work for same objective with full co-ordination which shows the unity level about the organization.
All the departments are having their own importance but while observing from a organization point of view they all work with each other.
There are more number of newcomers and young blood working in the
company.
Summer Internship Report
One important suggestion is that more care and concern should be given to the clients to retain the trust of existing valued customers. As company works on the philosophy of “Customer is King”.
The company can promote its services through social media, as its costs nothing as compared to other promotion medium.
Company should hire more number of marketing executives and technical experts to provide better services.
Company should focus more on technical part as the industry is facing challenges in technical issues.
6.13 Conclusion
The study at Facil internet Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has enabled me to understand the various needs of an organization, how an organization of a corporate nature functions and how important it is to have a right relationship between the employee and employer or the management.
The study was conducted with a view to understand the functions of an organization, and its various departments. During the course of study I was successful in achieving these objectives and could familiarize with an organization and its environment.
“This study has improved my confidence by its successful completion to undertake such studies in the future.”
