INDUSTRY PROFILEPage 1

Page 2: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

The prospects of the seed industry would require

changes in Government policy, facilitating its development

and removing controls and restrictions. In brief seed industry

requires a simple policy and legislation.

Historically, the importance of seed has been recognized

sine the Vedic times for increasing food production and

quality. However organized production and supply of quality

seed at the national level stated in 1963 as a consequence of

the introduction of hybrid technology during 1961-65.

GROWTH :

The release of high yield dwarf varieties of wheat and

rice by the mid 1960s gave further impetus to the growth of

seed industry. This period also saw the constitution of the

seed review team, enactment of seeds act, 1996 for

regulating the quality of seed and formation of the National

Commission of Agriculture. This was the period in which the

private sector took significant steps into the seed business.

The 1980s, witnessed two more important developments

viz., granting of permission to MRT? / FERA companies for

investment in the seed sector in 1987 and the introduction of

“NEW POLICY” on seed development in 1983. The new policy

on seed development while helping liberalize import of

vegetable and flower seeds in general and seeds of other

crops in a restricted manner encouraged global seeds

companies to enter the seed business of India.

CURRENT STATUS :

To supply the seeds necessary for the five hundred

thousand Indian Villages is a big problem. Storage,

Page 2

Page 3: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

transportation and tin rely distribution of pure seed form

village to village calls for careful organization within the State

Department of Agriculture and the willing cooperation of

farmers.

Indian’s seed industry has grown in size and level of

performance over the past four decades. It represents a blend

of private and public sector companies / corporations. The

private sector comprises approximately 140 seed companies,

which includes national, global, regional and other seed

producing and / or selling companies. The industry has made

impressive strides from a modest beginning is 1962-63 to

over f5 lakh hectares in seed production in 1995-96. The

quantum of seed distributed also grew from 14 lakh to 70

lakh quintals during this period. On the inputs supply the

certified quality seeds distribution touched a new high of one

million tones during the year 2000-2001. It was 0.91 million

tones the previous year.

CHALLENGES:

Implementing of new techniques requires dissemination

and training for their beneficial use. To achieve these goal

radical changes will be required in the existing extension

systems. In many cases entirely new approaches for

dissemination of knowledge will be required. These will have

to be constant learning and up gradation of skills to enable

transmission of knowledge to the user.

To realization of the prospects of the industry will also

changes in the government policy, which would facilitate the

development of the Indian Agriculture and Seed Industry. The

Page 3

Page 4: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

policy must aim at governing greater self discipline and

removing controls and restrictions which inhibit growth and

development.

ROLE OF THE GOVERNMENT :

To achieve self- sufficiency in the production through

planned programmes, the distribution of quality seed was

rightly considered as a key factor by the government. The far-

sighted and liberal policies of Government of India has always

laid emphasis to build a sound seed industry in the country

and has, supported both public and private sector

organizations to develop and to meet the increasing seed

demand and also to produce surplus stocks require for export.

To support expanded activities the “National Seed

Programme” was launched with the financial assistance of the

“World Bank” (International Bank for Development). In order

to make available the right quality of seed to the Indian

farmers in adequate quantities and at reasonable price in

time, the Government of India took various steps including

promulgation of “Seed Act” during 1996 which became

operative throughout the country from October 1969. The

main objective of the Act is to produce quality seed of

different crop varieties under a system of seed certification

and testing is voluntary but the farmers have recognized the

importance of quality seed to get higher production with

limited resources available at their end.

High yielding varieties are being released for cultivation

in quick succession by various Agricultural Universities and

ICAR institutions through massive research project and

Page 4

Page 5: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

screening of planting materials. Steps have been taken during

early 1984 to bring seeds within the purview of the Essential

Commodities Act to strengthen the regulation of seed quality

and to economies production at derived levels.

PROBLEMS :

Many problems are being faced by the seed industries

and farmers from many years. A number of Multi National

Corporations have stepped into our agricultural country to

gain control over the seeds and their distribution. Recently, a

new variety of seeds have entered the country. This created

many new problems for the seed industry and farmers.

Generally, a seed may be used either as a food material

or as a seed for another crop. But now, the life in the seed is

being taken out for making it to be used only as a food

material and not as a seed for another crop. These types of

seeds are called genetic change or genetic engineering

seeds. For example. BT cotton seed. The farmers are made to

purchase those seeds which are manufactured by the

corporation for their crops. Once the farmers or industry have

used these type of seeds, they face many problems. They

have to use only those pesticides which are produced by

those associations for protecting their crops from the pests,

diseases etc. These types would used by the wide

associations.

The seed industries in India are facing a big problem

with the entering the world wide organizations into the

country. Also the production is down grading. In 1992, the

experiments conducted by the Monsanto scientist if

Page 5

Page 6: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Perestroika show that these has been approximately 11.5

percent decrease in the production of cotton.

SEED INDUSTRY IN GLOBAL PERSPECITIVE:

The population has been growing at a faster rate in the

country. To increase the production accordingly an “All India

Co-coordinated Organization has been established in 1951

with the assistance of “Rockefeller Foundation” which belongs

to America. As part of this project, it produced new seeds of

maize in 1961 and cotton seeds in 1971.

With a view that the State Governments are unable to

meet the demand for seeds correctly, two associations have

been established with the help of Rockefeller Foundation.

They are “National Seed Association” 1963 and “State Farm

Corporation of India”, 1969. Due to the “Development

Programme” which came into existence in 1988, many

multinational corporations have stepped into the seed

industry. At present there are more than 700 multinational

corporations in India organizing seed business directly or

indirectly. 19 multinational companies have been made an

agreement with the Indian seed industries and have been

enjoying the leadership in the seed market. Monsanto, an

American Multinational Corporation, has acquired one-fourth

part of the MICO seeds industry, one of the biggest seed

industries in India. The acquisition value given by the

Monsanto Corporation is more than 17 times the real value.

SEED INDUSTRY IN INDIA:

Indian Seeds Industry has grown in size and level of performance over the past four decades. India stands in the 8th position all over the world in the production of different

Page 6

Page 7: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

variety of corps. Again in each crop there are thousand of varieties. To coordinate the seeds research centers and private organizations in the country and to support the expanded activities, the “National Seed Programme” was launched in 1967 with the financial assistance of the World Bank. In 1960 many private organizations have participated in the production of seeds. Many seed industries have laid a strong foundation in the country. Following are some of the major seed industries in India.

SEED INUDSTRY IN ANDHRA PRADESH :

In Andhra Pradesh the seed industries are many in

number. Though Andhra Pradesh is one among the states in

India who have been producing different varieties of crops. It

does not have the major seed industries in it when compared

to other states. Many seed industries have formed recently in

the state. Also the state a growing industrially and there is

sample scope and potential for the entry and success of new

industries.

The crop producing seasons are different for different

states. In Andhra Pradesh the crop producing season starts

Page 7

Page 8: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

from June and ends with the month of September. Generally

the rain fed crop in situated in the state irrigated crop many

not have better results when compared. The stock to be sold

by the seed industries is kept ready during the starting of the

year as the period during which the demand will be more fall

between March and August. The industries in the state starts

the crop again the month June itself. The send industry in the

state starts the crops which form the boundaries of it. The

selling period for those states will vary. The following are

some of the seed industries in Andhra Pradesh.

FINANCE DEPARTMENT

Finance is the study of funds management.The general areas

of finance are business finance, personal finance

(private finance), and public finance.[2] Finance includes

saving money and often includes lending money. The field of

finance deals with the concepts of time, money, risk and how

they are interrelated. It also deals with how money is spent

and budgeted.

One facet of finance is through individuals and business

organizations, which deposit money in a bank. The bank then

lends the money out to other individuals or corporations for

consumption or investment and charges interest on the loans.

Loans have become increasingly packaged for resale,

meaning that an investor buys the loan (debt) from a bank or

Page 39

Page 40: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

directly from a corporation. Bonds are debt instruments sold

to investors for organizations such as companies,

governments or charities. The investor can then hold the debt

and collect the interest or sell the debt on a secondary

market. Banks are the main facilitators of funding through the

provision of credit, although private equity, mutual funds,

hedge funds, and other organizations have become important

as they invest in various forms of debt. Financial assets,

known as investments, are financially managed with careful

attention to financial risk management to control financial

risk. Financial instruments allow many forms of securitized

assets to be traded on securities exchanges such as stock

exchanges, including debt such as bonds as well as equity in

publicly traded corporations.

Central banks, such as the Federal Reserve System banks in

the United States and Bank of England in the United Kingdom,

are strong players in public finance, acting as lenders of last

resort as well as strong influences on monetary and credit

conditions in the economy.[4]

Overview of techniques and sectors of the financial

industry

Main article: Financial services

An entity whose income exceeds its expenditure can lend or

invest the excess income. On the other hand, an entity whose

income is less than its expenditure can raise capital by

borrowing or selling equity claims, decreasing its expenses, or

increasing its income. The lender can find a borrower, a

financial intermediary such as a bank, or buy notes or bonds

in the bond market. The lender receives interest, the

borrower pays a higher interest than the lender receives, and

the financial intermediary earns the difference for arranging

the loan.

A bank aggregates the activities of many borrowers and

lenders. A bank accepts deposits from lenders, on which it

pays interest. The bank then lends these deposits to

borrowers. Banks allow borrowers and lenders, of different

sizes, to coordinate their activity.

Finance is used by individuals (personal finance), by

governments (public finance), by businesses (corporate

Page 41

Page 42: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

finance) and by a wide variety of other organizations,

including schools and non-profit organizations. In general, the

goals of each of the above activities are achieved through the

use of appropriate financial instruments and methodologies,

with consideration to their institutional setting.

Finance is one of the most important aspects of business

management and includes decisions related to the use and

acquisition of funds for the enterprise.

In corporate finance, a company's capital structure is the total

mix of financing methods it uses to raise funds. One method

is debt financing, which includes bank loans and bond sales.

Another method is equity financing - the sale of stock by a

company to investors, the original shareholders of a share.

Ownership of a share gives the shareholder certain

contractual rights and powers, which typically include the

right to receive declared dividends and to vote the proxy on

important matters (e.g., board elections). The owners of both

bonds and stock, may be institutional investors - financial

institutions such as investment banks and pension funds - or

private individuals, called private investors or retail investors.

Areas of finance

Personal finance

Main article: Personal finance

Page 42

Page 43: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Questions in personal finance revolve around

How much money will be needed by an individual (or by

a family), and when?

How can people protect themselves against unforeseen

personal events, as well as those in the external

economy?

How can family assets best be transferred across

generations (bequests and inheritance)?

How does tax policy (tax subsidies or penalties) affect

personal financial decisions?

How does credit affect an individual's financial standing?

How can one plan for a secure financial future in an

environment of economic instability?

Personal financial decisions may involve paying for education,

financing durable goods such as real estate and cars, buying

insurance, e.g. health and property insurance, investing and

saving for retirement.

Personal financial decisions may also involve paying for a

loan, or debt obligations.

Financial Risk Management

Main article: Financial risk management

Financial risk management is the practice of creating and

protecting economic value in a firm by using financial

instruments to manage exposure to risk, particularly credit

risk and market risk. (Other risk types include Foreign

Page 43

Page 44: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

exchange, Shape, Volatility, Sector, Liquidity, Inflation risks,

etc.) It focuses on when and how to hedge using financial

instruments; in this sense it overlaps with financial

engineering. Similar to general risk management, financial

risk management requires identifying its sources, measuring

it (see: Risk measure: Well known risk measures), and

formulating plans to address these, and can be qualitative

and quantitative. In the banking sector worldwide, the Basel

Accords are generally adopted by internationally active banks

for tracking, reporting and exposing operational, credit and

market risks.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

Origins :

Fundamentally, human resource management is based on the

assumption that employees are individuals with varying goals

and needs. Human resources should not be categorized with

basic business resources (trucks, filing cabinets, etc.).

Practicing good human resource management (HRM) enables

managers of an enterprise to express their goals with

specificity, increasing worker comprehension of goals, and

provide the necessary resources to promote successfully

accomplishment of said goals. When HRM is properly

employed members of the workforce are expressive of the

goals and operating practices of the firm.

HRM is seen by practitioners in the field as a more innovative

view of workplace management than the traditional approach.

Its techniques force the managers of an enterprise to express

their goals with specificity so that they can be understood and

undertaken by the workforce, and to provide the resources

needed for them to successfully accomplish their

assignments. As such, HRM techniques, when properly

Page 46

Page 47: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

practiced, are expressive of the goals and operating practices

of the enterprise overall. HRM is also seen by many to have a

key role in risk reduction within organisations.

Academic theory :

Research in the area of HRM has much to contribute to the

organizational practice of HRM. For the last 20 years,

empirical work has paid particular attention to the link

between the practice of HRM and organizational performance,

evident in improved employee commitment, lower levels of

absenteeism and turnover, higher levels of skills and

therefore higher productivity, enhanced quality and

efficiency. This area of work is sometimes referred to as

'Strategic HRM' or SHRM

Within SHRM three strands of work can be observed Best

practice, Best Fit and the Resource Based View (RBV).

The notion of best practice - sometimes called 'high

commitment' HRM - proposes that the adoption of certain

best practices in HRM will result in better organizational

performance. Perhaps the most popular work in this area is

that of Pfeffer ho argued that there were seven best practices

Page 47

Page 48: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

for achieving competitive advantage through people and

'building profits by putting people first'. These practices

included: providing employment security, selective hiring,

extensive training, sharing information, self-managed teams,

high pay based on company performance and the reduction

of status differentials. However, there is a huge number of

studies which provide evidence of best practices, usually

implemented in coherent bundles, and therefore it is difficult

to draw generalized conclusions about which is the 'best' way

(For a comparison of different sets of best practices see

Becker and Gerhart, 1996 [9]

Best fit, or the contingency approach to HRM, argues that

HRM improves performance where there is a close vertical fit

between the HRM practices and the company's strategy. This

link ensures close coherence between the HR people

processes and policies and the external market or business

strategy. There are a range of theories about the nature of

this vertical integration. For example, a set of 'life cycle'

models argue that HR policies and practices can be mapped

onto the stage of an organization's development or life cycle.

[10] Competitive advantage models take Porter's (1985) ideas

Page 48

Page 49: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

about strategic choice and map a range of HR practices onto

the organization's choice of competitive strategy. Finally

'configuration models' [11] provide a more sophisticated

approach which advocates a close examination of the

organisation's strategy in order to determine the appropriate

HR policies and practices. However, this approach assumes

that the strategy of the organisation can be identified - many

organisations exist in a state of flux and development.

The Resource Based View (RBV), argued by some to be at the

foundation of modern HRM, focusses on the internal resources

of the organisation and how they contribute to competitive

advantage. The uniqueness of these resources is preferred to

homogeneity and HRM has a central role in developing human

resources that are valuable, rare, difficult to copy or

substitute and that are effectively organized.

Overall, the theory of HRM argues that the goal of human

resource management is to help an organization to meet

strategic goals by attracting, and maintaining employees and

also to manage them effectively. The key word here perhaps

is "fit", i.e. a HRM approach seeks to ensure a fit between the

Page 49

Page 50: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

management of an organization's employees, and the overall

strategic direction of the company (Miller, 1989).

The basic premise of the academic theory of HRM is that

humans are not machines, therefore we need to have an

interdisciplinary examination of people in the workplace.

Fields such as psychology, industrial relations, industrial

engineering, sociology, economics, and critical theories:

postmodernism, post-structuralism play a major role. Many

colleges and universities offer bachelor and master degrees in

Human Resources Management or in Human Resources and

Industrial Relations.

One widely used scheme to describe the role of HRM,

developed by Dave Ulrich, defines 4 fields for the HRM

function:[13]

Strategic business partner

Change Agent

Employee champion

Administration Expert

Business Management.

Procurement Management.

Page 50

Page 51: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Business practice

Human resources management involves several processes.

Together they are supposed to achieve the above mentioned

goal. These processes can be performed in an HR

department, but some tasks can also be outsourced or

performed by line-managers or other departments. When

effectively integrated they provide significant economic

benefit to the company.

Workforce planning

Recruitment (sometimes separated into attraction and

selection)

Induction, Orientation and Onboarding

Skills management

Training and development

Personnel administration

Compensation in wage or salary

Time management

Travel management (sometimes assigned to accounting

rather than HRM)

Payroll (sometimes assigned to accounting rather than

HRM)

Personnel cost planning

Performance appraisal

Page 53: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

HRM strategy :

An HRM strategy pertains to the means as to how to

implement the specific functions of Human Resource

Management. An organization's HR function may possess

recruitment and selection policies, disciplinary procedures,

reward/recognition policies, an HR plan, or learning and

development policies, however all of these functional areas of

HRM need to be aligned and correlated, in order to

correspond with the overall business strategy. An HRM

strategy thus is an overall plan, concerning the

implementation of specific HRM functional areas.

An HRM strategy typically consists of the following factors:-

"Best fit" and "best practice" - meaning that there is

correlation between the HRM strategy and the overall

corporate strategy. As HRM as a field seeks to manage

human resources in order to achieve properly

organizational goals, an organization's HRM strategy

seeks to accomplish such management by applying a

firm's personnel needs with the goals/objectives of the

organisation. As an example, a firm selling cars could

Page 53

Page 54: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

have a corporate strategy of increasing car sales by 10%

over a five year period. Accordingly, the HRM strategy

would seek to facilitate how exactly to manage

personnel in order to achieve the 10% figure. Specific

HRM functions, such as recruitment and selection,

reward/recognition, an HR plan, or learning and

development policies, would be tailored to achieve the

corporate objectives.

Close co-operation (at least in theory) between HR and

the top/senior management, in the development of the

corporate strategy. Theoretically, a senior HR

representative should be present when an organization's

corporate objectives are devised. This is so, since it is a

firm's personnel who actually construct a good, or

provide a service. The personnel's proper management

is vital in the firm being successful, or even existing as a

going concern. Thus, HR can be seen as one of the

critical departments within the functional area of an

organization.

Continual monitoring of the strategy, via employee

feedback, surveys, etc.

Page 54

Page 55: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

The implementation of an HR strategy is not always required,

and may depend on a number of factors, namely the size of

the firm, the organizational culture within the firm or the

industry that the firm operates in and also the people in the

firm.

An HRM strategy can be divided, in general, into two facets -

the people strategy and the HR functional strategy. The

people strategy pertains to the point listed in the first

paragraph, namely the careful correlation of HRM

policies/actions to attain the goals laid down in the corporate

strategy. The HR functional strategy relates to the policies

employed within the HR functional area itself, regarding the

management of persons internal to it, to ensure its own

departmental goals are met.

Functions :

The Human Resources Management (HRM) function includes

a variety of activities, and key among them is deciding the

staffing needs of an organization and whether to use

independent contractors or hire employees to fill these needs,

recruiting and training the best employees, ensuring they are

Page 55

Page 56: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

high performers, dealing with performance issues, and

ensuring your personnel and management practices conform

to various regulations. Activities also include managing your

approach to employee benefits and compensation, employee

records and personnel policies. Usually small businesses (for-

profit or nonprofit) have to carry out these activities

themselves because they can't yet afford part- or full-time

help. However, they should always ensure that employees

have—and are aware of—personnel policies which conform to

current regulations. These policies are often in the form of

employee manuals, which all employees have.

Note that some people distinguish a difference between HRM

(a major management activity) and HRD (Human Resource

Development, a profession). Those people might include HRM

in HRD, explaining that HRD includes the broader range of

activities to develop personnel inside of organizations,

including, e.g., career development, training, organization

development, etc.

There is a long-standing argument about where HR-related

functions should be organized into large organizations, e.g.,

Page 56

Page 57: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

"should HR be in the Organization Development department

or the other way around?"

The HRM function and HRD profession have undergone major

changes over the past 20–30 years. Many years ago, large

organizations looked to the "Personnel Department," mostly

to manage the paperwork around hiring and paying people.

More recently, organizations consider the "HR Department" as

playing an important role in staffing, training and helping to

manage people so that people and the organization are

performing at maximum capability in a highly fulfilling

manner.

RECRUITMENT PROCEDURE

Estimating the number of employees.

Depending upon the company’s vacancy, the candidates

are selected according to the company’s requirements.

Requisition for employees.

When ever manpower required the requisition is send to

the top management for the selection and posting suitable

candidate for the respective work by concerned authority.

Requisitions consist of the details like the nature of job to he

filled, the number of men required class of employment. After

Page 57

Page 58: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

receiving requisition for man power requirements from the

respective authority, it is duty of the top management to take

further action.

Recruitment policy and sources.

Here the source is to select suitable people for an

organization. It is done to attain organization goals.

1. To plan the man power recruit and select the man power of

the required qualification, skill and attitude.

2. To attract and retain the best of the personnel in the industry.

3. To ensure the placement of employees in jobs is in

accordance with their physical and mental requirements.

4. To see that there is no discrimination between men and

women at time of recruitment.

5. To take care of entire physical development of employees.

6. Depending on the nature of job, the numbers of people need

to be employed cost and government regulation is estimated.

The usual sources used by the GPL are:

1. SOURCES OF RECRUITMENT :

Internal Recruitment :

Promotions:

Page 58

Page 59: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

It is the development of an employee to do a better job,

for achieving greater responsibility, prestige, status and

higher rate of wages or salary. Here an employee occupies

position immediately above his original position. It is done to

built loyalty, moral and sense of belongingness in the

employees, to full the higher vacancy from with in

organization, to recognize and reward the efficiency of an

employee, to attract and retain the services qualified and

competent people, to motivate employees to higher

efficiencies.

In GPPL both lower and higher position are filled up by

promotion within. But not all the employees are promoted,

but only those who are suitable for promotion he may be

junior employee also, Promotion done on the bases of merit.

Here promotion is given by job performance and also

employee’s potentiality.

Transfer

It involves change in the ob of employees without

change in responsibility or remunerations. It is the change in

the job where the new job is substantially equal to the old in

Page 59

Page 60: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

terms of pay. start and responsibility the following are the

reasons for transfer in GPPL.

Where there is shortage of employees in one branch due

to heavy work. Sometimes in this organization workers are

transferred from the surplus branch to another branch where

there is shortage of staff.

Transfer done:

To remove incompatibility between the workers and his

boss and between one worker to another worker.

Correction of fault in initial placement of an employee.

Sometimes in GPPL, it may urgently need to workers

who may be transferred from one department to another or

from one unit to another as GPPL has got 2-3 branches in

India. This is done to avoid overstaffing and understaffing.

2. EXTERNAL

Open advertisements:

For filling up the vacant post newspaper advertisements

are used in GPPL. There are issued in details like nature of the

Page 60

Page 61: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

job. skill, experience and qualification required and date by

which a candidate should apply.

Personal contacts:

Present employees may refer some candidates

whenever vacancies to be filled up. These candidates may be

friends with the same type of work in another company or

own.

SELECTION ADOPTED V GPPL

The following are the steps included in the selection

process of GPPL.

Receipt and scrutinizing application:

Here it starts after the receipt of application from

perspective employees. Application received must be

scrutinized and those who are qualified or suitable for the job

will be selected and the rest will he rejected. The selected

candidate again will be called for preliminary interview.

Preliminary interview.

Here the company tries to find out whether the

candidate is physically, mentally fit for the job. Here the

Page 61

Page 62: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

candidates are asked about their qualification, interest,

experience, residence and age.

Interview:

It is a face to face conversation through which

potentiality of a person for job is judged. There will be panel

of interviewer interviewing the candidate. In GPPL there will

be 2 or 3 types of interview, depending upon the job. Here it

is the oral interview where the question related to the job is

asked. This is conducted to the candidates who have applied

for the office staff. This helps the interviewer to know the

qualities and abilities of the candidates and compared with

the requirements of the job. The second type of interview is

conducted for the candidates who have applied for the

medical representatives. The company wants to know about

the communication skills, education and presentation of a

topic because these are the persons if selected will deal with

outside customers.

Placement:

If the candidates who are interviewed are found fit by

the company for the particular job, the candidate is selected

for the position based on the qualifications his capability.

Page 62

Page 63: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Induction:

It is where the introduction is given to the employees.

During this period of orientation he is interviewed about the

company and also its rules, policy and procedures to be

followed by him and he is informed about his authority,

salary, responsibility, superiors and his subordinates.

Page 63

Page 64: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

MARKETING DEPARTMENT

Marketing is the process used to determine what products or

services may be of interest to customers, and the strategy to

use in sales, communications and business development. It

generates the strategy that underlies sales techniques,

business communication, and business developments. It is an

integrated process through which companies build strong

customer relationships and create value for their customers

and for themselves.

Marketing is used to identify the customer, satisfy the

customer, and keep the customer. With the customer as the

focus of its activities, marketing management is one of the

major components of business management. Marketing

evolved to meet the stasis in developing new markets caused

by mature markets and overcapacities in the last 2-3

centuries. The adoption of marketing strategies requires

businesses to shift their focus from production to the

perceived needs and wants of their customers as the means

of staying profitable.

Page 64

Page 65: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

The term marketing concept holds that achieving

organizational goals depends on knowing the needs and

wants of target markets and delivering the desired

satisfactions. It proposes that in order to satisfy its

organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate

the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more

effectively than competitors.

Customer orientation :

Constructive criticism helps marketers adapt offerings to

meet changing customer needs.

A firm in the market economy survives by producing goods

that persons are willing and able to buy. Consequently,

ascertaining consumer demand is vital for a firm's future

viability and even existence as a going concern. Many

companies today have a customer focus (or market

orientation). This implies that the company focuses its

activities and products on consumer demands. Generally,

there are three ways of doing this: the customer-driven

approach, the market change identification approach and the

product innovation approach[citation needed].

Page 65

Page 66: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

In the consumer-driven approach, consumer wants are the

drivers of all strategic marketing decisions. No strategy is

pursued until it passes the test of consumer research. Every

aspect of a market offering, including the nature of the

product itself, is driven by the needs of potential consumers.

The starting point is always the consumer. The rationale for

this approach is that there is no reason to spend R&D funds

developing products that people will not buy. History attests

to many products that were commercial failures in spite of

being technological breakthroughs.[11]

A formal approach to this customer-focused marketing is

known as SIVA (Solution, Information, Value, Access). This

system is basically the four Ps renamed and reworded to

provide a customer focus. The SIVA Model provides a

demand/customer-centric alternative to the well-known 4Ps

supply side model (product, price, placement, promotion) of

marketing management.

Product → Solution

Promotio

n→

Informatio

n

Price → Value

Page 66

Page 67: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Place → Access

If any of the 4Ps were problematic or were not in the

marketing factor of the business, the business could be in

trouble and so other companies may appear in the

surroundings of the company, so the consumer demand on its

products will decrease.

Some qualifications or caveats for customer focus exist. They

do not invalidate or contradict the principle of customer

focus; rather, they simply add extra dimensions of awareness

and caution to it.

The work of Christensen and colleagues[13] on disruptive

technology has produced a theoretical framework that

explains the failure of firms not because they were

technologically inept (often quite the opposite), but because

the value networks in which they profitably operated included

customers who could not value a disruptive innovation at the

time and capability state of its emergence and thus actively

dissuaded the firms from developing it. The lessons drawn

from this work include:

Page 67

Page 68: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Taking customer focus with a grain of salt, treating it as

only a subset of one's corporate strategy rather than the

sole driving factor. This means looking beyond current-

state customer focus to predict what customers will be

demanding some years in the future, even if they

themselves discount the prediction.

Pursuing new markets (thus new value networks) when

they are still in a commercially inferior or unattractive

state, simply because their potential to grow and

intersect with established markets and value networks

looks like a likely bet. This may involve buying stakes in

the stock of smaller firms, acquiring them outright, or

incubating small, financially distinct units within one's

organization to compete against them.

The role of the marketing manager :

For the small business, there are several different

organisational approaches to marketing. The duty may lie

with a single member of the team, or it could be a group

responsibility. The great thing about a small team is the

ability to quickly instill a marketing led ethos which can

become the operational soul of your business.

Page 68

Page 69: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Depending on budget availability and the skills of the team,

you may chose to outsource certain elements of the

marketing process (such as market research) or decide to do

these jobs in-house. Key responsibilities of the marketing

manager / director vary according to the business but can

include:

Instilling a marketing led ethos throughout the business

Researching and reporting on external opportunities

Understanding current and potential customers

Managing the customer journey (customer relationship

management)

Developing the marketing strategy and plan

Management of the marketing mix

Managing agencies

Measuring success

Managing budgets

Ensuring timely delivery

Writing copy

Approving images

Developing guidelines

Making customer focused decisions

Page 69

Page 70: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

The marketing role can be diverse or focused but now we'll

elaborate further on some key aspects which should be at the

heart of the job.

Market Research :

Marketing managers need to have a good knowledge of the

customer. This means building up an accurate picture using

the resources that are available. It is important to take

personal opinion out of as many decisions as possible – you

probably don't think in the same way as a typical customer.

Information can be gathered from questionnaires, focus

groups, the internet, interviews, buying habits and many

more sources, but it's important that the information is

examined in a scientific way using proper statistical methods.

Development of marketing strategy and plan :

Marketing planning should be at the core to any business and

is usually presented in the form of a written marketing plan. A

consultant called Paul Smith first developed a process known

as SOSTAC® which is a useful model used to structure a

Page 70

Page 71: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

marketing plan. SOSTAC is an acronym for the following

elements of the plan:

Situation Analysis – where are we now?

Objectives – what do you want to achieve?

Strategy – how are you going to get there? 

Tactics - what are the details of the strategy?

Actions – who is going to do what, and by when?

Controls – how are you going to measure success?

The marketing plan should provide direction for all relevant

members of the organization and should be referred to and

updated throughout the year. The main reason for the

marketing plan is that it provides a structured approach that

forces the marketing manager to consider all the relevant

elements of the planning process which might be missed if a

more rushed approach is adopted.

Customer relationship management (CRM) :

Customer relationship management is the process of

communicating with customers throughout the various stages

of the purchasing process, and this includes people who have

already bought from you. It is significantly easier to hold on to

Page 71

Page 72: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

an existing customer than it is to find new ones, but doing

this requires all elements of the marketing mix to be run well.

For example, it's no use sending out a beautifully produced

customer magazine if your customer service is dreadful or the

product breaks easily.

Measuring success :

An important element of the marketing manager's role which

is often neglected is the process of collecting and analysing

data on success. This can take the form of website hits, sales

figures, market share data, customer satisfaction or many

other metrics and it's important to record and track these as a

core part of the marketing process.

Final words :

Marketing managers have a diverse and varied job, and

promotion should just be one element of the scope.

Championing a marketing focussed business structure will

provide a greater chance of success in today's challenging

business environment and will lead to a more sustainable

future.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

OBJECTIVES :

The production department is the functional area and is

responsible for turning inputs into finished outputs through a

series of production processes. The production processes are

the various stages of production that turn raw materials into

finished goods. Although businesses such as bank, insurance

companies and internet service providers do not supply

physical goods that can be seen or held, they do have to

organize their resources to meet customers demands as

completely as possible.

The production departments objective is to consistently

produce goods to the quality that the customer expects, on

time and in the numbers the business requires.

The production departments produce goods and takes care

that they are producing the right amounts of goods and their

production is good for the sale. They also check the quality of

the products. They arrange things and they buy the raw

materials for the products. They also take care that the

equipments and the machine are in right order.

Page 74

Page 75: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Page 75

Page 76: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

AIMS OF PRODUCTION :

In a manufacturing company the production function may be

split into five sub-functions :

The production and planning department will set

standards and targets for each section of the production

process. The quantity and quality of products coming off

a production line will be closely monitored. In businesses

focusing on lean production, quality will be monitored by

all employees at every stage of production, rather than

at the end as is the case for businesses using a quality

control approach.

The purchasing department will be responsible for

providing the materials, components and equipment

required to keep the production process running

smoothly. A vital aspect of this role is ensuring stocks

arrive on time and to the right quality.

The stores department will be responsible for stocking all

the necessary tools, spares, raw materials and

equipment required to service the manufacturing

process. Where sourcing is unreliable, buffer stocks will

need to be kept and the use of computerised stock

Page 76

Page 77: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

control systems helps keep stcoks at a minimal but

necessary level for production to continue unhindered.

The design and technical support department will be

responsible for researching new products or

modifications to existing ones, estimating costs for

producing in different quantities and by using different

methods. It will also be responsible for the design and

testing of new product processes and product types,

together with the development of prototypes through to

the final product. The technical support department may

also be responsible for work study and suggestions as to

how working practices can be improved.

The works department will be concerned with the

manufacture of products. This will include the

maintenance of the production line and other necessary

repairs. The works department may also have

responsibility for quality control and inspection.

Page 81

Page 82: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT

QUALITY CONTROL :

Quality control is a process by which entities review the

quality of all factors involved in production. This approach

places an emphasis on three aspects:

Elements such as controls, job management, defined

and well managed processes, performance and integrity

criteria, and identification of records

Competence, such as knowledge, skills, experience, and

qualifications

Soft elements, such as personnel integrity, confidence,

organizational culture, motivation, team spirit, and

quality relationships.

The quality of the outputs is at risk if any of these three

aspects is deficient in any way.

Quality control emphasizes testing of products to uncover

defects, and reporting to management who make the decision

to allow or deny the release, whereas quality assurance

attempts to improve and stabilize production, and associated

processes, to avoid, or at least minimize, issues that led to

Page 82

Page 83: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

the defects in the first place. For contract work, particularly

work awarded by government agencies, quality control issues

are among the top reasons for not renewing a contract.

Total quality control :

"Total quality control", also called total quality management,

is an approach that extends beyond ordinary statistical

quality control techniques and quality improvement methods.

It implies a complete overview and re-evaluation of the

specification of a product, rather than just considering a more

limited set of changeable features within an existing product.

If the original specification does not reflect the correct quality

requirements, quality cannot be inspected or manufactured

into the product. For instance, the design of a pressure vessel

should include not only the material and dimensions, but also

operating, environmental, safety, reliability and

maintainability requirements, and documentation of findings

about these requirements.

Page 83

Page 84: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Quality assurance :

Quality assurance, or QA (in use from 1973) for short, is the

systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects

of a project, service or facility to maximize the probability

that minimum standards of quality are being attained by the

production process. QA cannot absolutely guarantee the

production of quality products.

Two principles included in QA are: "Fit for purpose", the

product should be suitable for the intended purpose; and

"Right first time", mistakes should be eliminated. QA includes

regulation of the quality of raw materials, assemblies,

products and components, services related to production, and

management, production and inspection processes.

Quality is determined by the product users, clients or

customers, not by society in general. It is not the same as

'expensive' or 'high quality'. Low priced products can be

considered as having high quality if the product users

determine them as such.

Page 84

Page 85: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT

The administration of a business consists of the

performance or management of business operations and thus

the making or implementing of a major decision.

Administration can be defined as the universal process of

organizing people and resources efficiently so as to direct

activities toward common goals and objectives.

The word is derived from the Middle English word

administration, which is in turn derived from the French

administration, itself derived from the Latin administratio — a

compounding of ad ("to") and ministratio ("give service").

Administrator can serve as the title of the general manager or

company secretary who reports to a corporate board of

directors. This title is archaic, but, in many enterprises, this

function, together with its associated Finance, Personnel and

management information systems services, is what is

intended when the term "the administration" is used.

In some organizational analyses, management is viewed as a

subset of administration, specifically associated with the

Page 85

Page 86: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

technical and mundane elements within an organization's

operation. It stands distinct from executive or strategic work.

In other organizational analyses, administration can refer to

the bureaucratic or operational performance of mundane

office tasks, usually internally oriented and reactive rather

than proactive.

The world's first business school, the Ecole Supérieure de

Commerce de Paris, France, was established in 1819. The first

business school in the United States, the Wharton School of

the University of Pennsylvania, was founded in 1881.

Anecdotically, top French business school HEC was also

created in 1881, while Harvard Business School, founded in

1908, was born just one year after France's prestigious ESSEC

Business School.

Administrative functions :

Administrators, broadly speaking, engage in a common set of

functions to meet the organization's goals. These "functions"

of the administrator were described by Henri Fayol as "the 5

elements of administration" (in bold below).

Page 86

Page 87: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Planning is deciding in advance what to do, how to do it,

when to do it, and who should do it. It maps the path

from where the organization is to where it wants to be.

The planning function involves establishing goals and

arranging them in a logical order. Administrators engage

in both short-range and long-range planning.

Organizing involves identifying responsibilities to be

performed, grouping responsibilities into departments or

divisions, and specifying organizational relationships.

The purpose is to achieve coordinated effort among all

the elements in the organization (Coordinating).

Organizing must take into account delegation of

authority and responsibility and span of control within

supervisory units.

Staffing means filling job positions with the right people

at the right time. It involves determining staffing needs,

writing job descriptions, recruiting and screening people

to fill the positions.

Directing (Commanding) is leading people in a manner

that achieves the goals of the organization. This involves

proper allocation of resources and providing an effective

Page 87

Page 88: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

support system. Directing requires exceptional

interpersonal skills and the ability to motivate people.

One of the crucial issues in directing is to find the correct

balance between emphasis on staff needs and emphasis

on economic production.

Controlling is a function that evaluates quality in all

areas and detects potential or actual deviations from the

organization's plan. This ensures high-quality

performance and satisfactory results while maintaining

an orderly and problem-free environment. Controlling

includes information management, measurement of

performance, and institution of corrective actions.

Budgeting, exempted from the list above, incorporates

most of the administrative functions, beginning with the

implementation of a budget plan through the application

of budget controls.

Key duties/responsibilities of Administrative manager :

Provides supplies by identifying needs for reception,

switchboard, mailroom, and kitchen; establishing

policies, procedures, and work schedules.

Page 88

Page 89: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

requirements; negotiating price, quality, and delivery;

approving invoices.

Completes special projects by organizing and

coordinating information and requirements; planning,

arranging, and meeting schedules; monitoring results.

Provides historical reference by developing and utilizing

filing and retrieval systems.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT

The Research and Development team provide friendly

expert advice and support on all elements of research

including registration, ethics, funding, governance,

protocol design, statistics and lots more!

The Research and Development department and the

Research and Development Support Unit is responsible

for the strategy, infrastructure, management and

governance relating to research an development activity

at the industries and the associated Research and

Development Support Funding.

What Does a Research and Development

Department Do?

A research and development department is responsible

for innovations in design, products, and style. This

department is responsible for creating innovative new

products to keep companies a step ahead of the

competition. Many companies also rely on the research

and development department, or R&D Department, to

Page 91

Page 92: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

improve existing consumer products, and to explore new

ways of producing them.

Companies thrive and succeed by creating innovative

products, as well as by increasing company profit and

utilizing cost-efficient methods. A research and

development department is primarily responsible for

ensuring that these goals are met. This is an especially

important function in the fields of manufacturing and

pharmaceuticals, but can be applied to virtually any

industry.

Often, a Research and Development Department works

closely with the Marketing Department. The Marketing

Department studies consumer trends by surveying and

researching consumer demands, purchasing methods,

product sales, and the existence and development of

technology across the relevant market. The marketing

department gathers all the data, and makes this

information available to the R&D department, which will

take action in response to the findings and proceed to

keep the company on top of current market needs.

Page 92

Page 93: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Consumer demands often change very quickly, and the

research and development department must be alert

and adapt to these market fluctuations accordingly.

Companies often allocate millions of dollars to research

and development department so that they can

continually modify and update their products to preserve

a brand's position within the market. Leading products -

whether a drug, or a laundry detergent, or anything else

- usually will not remain in the number one market

position forever without some type of improvement and

advancement.

A R&D Department may also be tasked with ensuring

that products are manufactured within an appropriate

time frame, and that they meet specific quality and cost

requirements requirements. For example, a particular

ingredient or component of a product suddenly may

become too expensive or outdated, and the research

and development department will need to explore other

means to replace the missing pieces. Therefore, R&D

departments often maintain close ties with engineers,

chemists, and other product specialists.

Page 93

Page 94: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Research and development departments will provide

advancements in products that range from simple

updates of features to dramatic discoveries of new cures

for diseases, depending on the field and the company's

needs. The aim, in most cases, is to ensure that each

product meets all regulations, legal requirements, and

the highest standards in quality control. The research

and development department works in conjunctions with

other departments to achieve these aims.

CHAPTER - 4

7-S FRAME WORK

THE SEVEN ELEMENTSPage 98

Page 99: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

The McKinsey 7S model involves seven interdependent

factors which are categorized as either "hard" or "soft"

elements:

Hard Elements Soft Elements

Strategy

Structure

Systems

Shared Values

Skills

Style

Staff

"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.

Page 99

Page 100: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

The way the model is presented in Figure 1 below depicts the

interdependency of the elements and indicates how a change

in one affects all the others.

 

Let's look at each of the elements specifically:

Structure : the way the organization is structured and

who reports to whom.

Director

Finance Manager

MANJULA

Page 100

Page 101: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

Basis for specialization and coordination influenced

accountability in the organization charts. A structure is the

formalizing of relationships, roles and responsibilities in

order to organize and perform work.

Style : The style of leadership adopted. Style of

leadership refers to the manner in which an individuals

Weekly meetings are scheduled where in the BOD and

managers and officers of all the departments discuss the

target to be set and achieved in a week and month and

Page 101

Page 102: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

all decisions are taken jointly in consultation with other

section heads.

The culture of the organization consists of two

components.

Organizational culture :

The dominant values and beliefs and norms which

develop over time and become relatively enduring

features of organizational life.

Management Style :

This is more a matter of what managers do than what

they say, how the company’s managers spend their

time? What are they focusing on ? Symbolism the

creation and maintenance of meaning is a fundamental

responsibility of managers. Thus Tulasi Seeds falls on

balance of style that is authoritarian and participative.

Under this style each department is given power and

responsibilities to operate and take decisions in respect

to their departments and sections.

Skill :

Page 102

Page 103: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

The actual skills and competencies of the employees

working for the company. A skill is the ability, knowledge,

and understanding to accomplish a task. Skills may be

defined as what the company doest best that distinctive

capacities and competencies that reside in the

organization.

Skills in Tulasi Seeds :

Tualsi Seeds Pvt. Ltd., is a highly people oriented

organization and the company believes in having the right

people at the right places. Here formal or informal style is

Page 110

Page 111: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

LEARNING EXPERIENCERelated to general views :

It is the great experience for me for the entire four

weeks in the Tulasi seeds Pvt Limited. The practical

experience gained by me during my organization study in a

lot. It is entirely different from the theory what one learns in

the classroom. The situations read and explained theoretically

are fully different when it comes to the practical. The practical

situations are broad in nature and they are entirely different

from one situation to another.

On the first day when I reported to the organization, the

management allotted a project guide to help me in the course

of organizational study. My project guide gave me a brief

description about the garment industry, and Tulasi Seeds is

an organization under seeds industry. Then she further

explained about the company in brief like number of

departments and their respective heads.

Within the period of one month itself I felt Tulasi Seeds is

considering its employees as an assets of the company’s

growth. As the employees are provided with transportation

facility, crèches etc, it becomes a motivating factor to

employee to work better.

Page 111

Page 112: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

There is a revision of salary every month based on

employee performance. It motivates the employees to

perform well in their work, but as the target to be achieved is

high and it leads to increase in attrition rate. Tulasi seeds

organizes family day, celebrates festivals in the employees

concern. I felt all these measures are the part of motivating

the employees.

In Tulasi Seeds Pvt. Ltd. Women employees are provided

with necessary requirements and maternity benefit is given.

The operators are highly skilled and talented but education

back ground is only SSLC and PU level.

In general, I felt that Tulasi Seeds Pvt. Ltd provides a

homely atmosphere to the employees those who are working.

When the employees are being treated as resources of the

organization, the employees will be dedicated to work and

sincere to the organization. I didn’t find any barrier for

communication between the supervisors with doubts and

problems. The employees are being provided with full

support.

The secret of Tulasi family enterprise is efficiency,

delegation of responsibilities and effective supervision. The

commitment to complete any work taken up by any person

Page 112

Page 113: SEED INUDSTRY SWOT Analysis

with sincerity and honesty is an important factor to succeed

in life.
