PREFACE
Someone has rightly said that practical experience is far better and closer to the real world
than mere theoretical exposure. The practical experience helps the student to view the real
business world closely, which in turn widely influences his/her perceptions and
understanding of the real situation. Research work constitutes the backbone of any
management education program. A management student has to do research work quite
frequently during his entire life span.
The research work entitled “A Comprehensive Study on Brand Image of Kokuyo
Camlin’s Scholastic Products in New Delhi- In Reference to Coloristic” aims to know
Wholesalers & retailers awareness regarding Kokuyo Camlin and the products offered by it.
The present report is a part of the project that contains the work done by me during the
training period at Kokuyo Camlin Ltd., New Delhi.
True to the core, a properly and executed industrial training helps a lot in providing linkage
between the student and the industry. It develops the awareness of industrial approach to
problem solving based on a board understanding of the mode of operation of industrial
organization.
This project has offered me an opportunity to put all my efforts and the theoretical knowledge
to practice and enhance my knowledge, and at the same time, given me practical experience
in the field of marketing. It is surely going to help me in my future projects too.
In the preparation of this report, I have made every effort to ensure that all steps involved in
development of this project are adequately covered and the report be completed in it.
5
I sincerely hope that this project will prove pure knowledge imparting, through provoking
and thus stimulating future research work on these guideline.

Wholesalers & Retailers in New Delhi and also to find out the customer’s preferences
with respect to coloristic products. The various parts of the report have been categorized
under various heads including: Executive Summary, Research Methodology, Literature
Review, Findings and Analysis followed by Recommendations made on the basis of the
findings of the study. These sections are followed by a Case study analyzing the present
situation of Kokuyo Camlin in New Delhi.

Overview of the Indian economy
India is the world’s largest democracy by population with an estimated population size of 1.2
billion and a gross domestic product (“GDP”) in purchasing power parity terms of
approximately US$4.73 trillion. This has made India the fourth largest economy in the world
after the European Union, the United States and China. (Source: Central Intelligence Agency
(CIA) World Fact book). The economy has grown by 5.4% (est.) for the fiscal year2012 in
16
real terms (adjusted for inflation) (Source: GDP real growth rate, CIA World Fact book).
The outlook for India’s medium-term growth is positive due to a young population and
corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing
integration into the global economy.(Source: CIA World Fact book)
Indian stationery market
The following factors may be said to be key growth drivers for the stationery industry:
Growing literacy
A key factor affecting the stationery industry is literacy rates. Literates in 2011 constituted
74% of the population aged seven and above as compared to 65% in 2001.

Success of Government Initiatives in Education
According to the approach paper of the 12th five year plan, there has been notable success in
expanding capacity, and improvement in the extension of primary education, both in regard
to enrolment and in reduction of dropout rates during the 11th Five Year Plan. A major
achievement is the increase in the number of school going children. The Assessment Survey
Evaluation Research (“ASER”) 2010 shows that for the age group 6-14 years in all of rural
India, the percentage of children who are not enrolled in school has dropped from 6.6 per cent
in 2005 to 3.5% in 2010. The proportion of girls in the age group 11–14years who were out
of school has also declined from 11.2 per cent in 2005 to 5.9% in 2010. (Source:“Faster
Sustainable, More Inclusive Growth – An Approach to the Twelfth Five Year Plan (2012-
17)Government of India, Planning Commission, October 2011”).
17
Increase in population:
India’s population rose to 1.2 billion over the past decade. In absolute terms, the population
of India has increased by more than 181 million during the decade 200-2011.
(Source:http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011provresults/data_files/india/
Final_PPT_2011_chapter3.pdf).
Further, the provisional data of the Census of India, 2011 estimates the total number of
children aged 0-6years in India to be 158.1 million.(Source:
http://www.censusindia.gov.in/2011-prov results/data_files/india/
Final_PPT_2011_chapter4.pdf)
Increasing income:
The initial phase of high growth enabled India to raise its per-capita gross national income
(GNI) to cross the threshold of US$ 1025 for the first time in 2008 and be classified by the
World Bank as a lower-middle-income country. Subsequently, the per capita income rose at a
slower pace to US $ 1,410 by 2011 during the post-crisis period. While at the current level,
India’s per capita income is the lowest amongst the BRICS nations, it is noteworthy that
successively India has taken less and less number of years to double its real per-capita
income: 40 years since 1950-51; 15 years since 1991-92 and going by the current trend, it
may take about 10 years to double the real per-capita income by 2017-18.

Literacy in India:
Literates in 2011 constitute 74% of the population aged seven and above as compared to 65%
in 2001. The Planning Commission of India set a target in the 11th Five Year Plan to increase
18
the literacy rate of persons 7years and above to 85% or more and reduce the gender gap in
literacy to 10% by 2011-2012. As per the provisions data of the 2011 Census of India, the
number of illiterates has come down from 304,146,862 in 2011to 272,950,015, i.e. a decline
of 31,196,847 persons in the said decade. For the decade of 2001-2011, the literacy rate
improved considerably among females as compared with males. While the effective male
literacy rate rose from 75.26% to 82.14%, it increased from 53.67% to 65.46% for females.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Customer satisfaction is an ambiguous and abstract concept and the actual manifestation of
the state of satisfaction will vary from person to person and product/service to
product/service. The state of satisfaction depends on a number of both psychological and
physical variables which correlate with satisfaction behaviors such as return and recommend
rate. The level of satisfaction can also vary depending on other options the customer may
have and other products against which the customer can compare the organization's products.
Because satisfaction is basically a psychological state, care should be taken in the effort of
quantitative measurement. These ten domains of satisfaction include: Quality, Value,
Timeliness, Efficiency, Ease of Access, Environment, Inter-departmental Teamwork, Front
line Service Behaviors, Commitment to the Customer and Innovation. These factors are
emphasized for continuous improvement and organizational change measurement and are
most often utilized to develop the architecture for satisfaction measurement as an integrated
model. The basis for the measurement of customer satisfaction is by using the gap between
the customer's expectation of performance and their perceived experience of performance.
This provides the measurer with a satisfaction "gap" which is objective and quantitative in
nature customer satisfaction equals perception of performance divided by expectation of
performance.

SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT analysis is a basic, straightforward model that provides direction and serves as a basis
for the development of marketing plans. It accomplishes this by assessing an organizations
strengths (what an organization can do) and weaknesses (what an organization cannot do) in
addition to opportunities (potential favorable conditions for an organization) and threats
(potential unfavorable conditions for an organization). The role of SWOT analysis is to take
the information from the environmental analysis and separate it into internal issues (strengths
and weaknesses) and external issues (opportunities and threats). Once this is completed,
SWOT analysis determines if the information indicates something that will assist the firm in
accomplishing its objectives (a strength or opportunity), or if it indicates an obstacle that
must be overcome or minimized to achieve desired results (weakness or threat).

RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS

The company should launch some innovation schemes to enhance the sales of its
products in rural & urban areas.
Company should improve the advertising policies.
Company should do its own SWOT analysis and try to remove its weaknesses.
The Company should provide regular schemes and discount for dealers.
The company should maintain proper distribution channels.

Job descriptions, responsibilities should be as clear as possible. Everyone should be
informed of company’s goals and expectation including what is expected from each
individual.
Suggestion boxes can be installed. This brings the problem or conflict of interest to
light.

CONCLUSION
On the basis of analysis, it is clear that the Wholesaler’s & Retailer’s preference is
increasing towards the Kokuyo Camlin branded products.
Due to sincerity & responsiveness, people have to become aware for quality.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The authenticity of the findings entirely depends upon the willingness and
cooperation of the respondents.
Due to time constraints data was collected from a small sample. Hence result may
contain some bias at collection / analysis stage.
In some cases potential respondents refused to take the time to be interviewed or
refused to answer some specified questions.
97
Some respondents did not give the response due to wrong understanding.
Detail of the sale given by the retailer may be different with the actual condition as
the retailers have given me the details only by their guess.
Retailer & Wholesaler might have given me wrong details thinking that I am from
Kokuyo Camlin Ltd. too show their loyalty towards company.
